Brittany's Report
A little sweet, a little sour, but mostly BITTER. Alph can't cope with the bitterness and wants me to sweeten it somehow, but I have to say it's growing on me. Maybe he'll mature into it?

How to Get the Astringent Clump

The First One Can be Obtained in the Garden of Hope

The first Astringent Clump can be obtained in a northwestern cave in the Garden of Hope during the story mission Save the Hocotatian!

To get the Astringent Clump, you have to go through the Elevator Platform Puzzle, which leads you to two pairs of elevator platforms. Solving the second set of elevator platforms leads you close to a concrete block with the Astringent Clump resting on top.

The Second One Can be Obtained in the Distant Tundra

The second Astringent Clump can be obtained in a northwestern cave in the Distant Tundra during the story mission Head to the Formidable Oak! It is located in the deepest area of the cave. There is also a Spotty Bulbear here lying in wait, so using the nearby Bomb Stone to defeat it and retrieve the fruit is the safest method.
