Lotus are water plants common in Everafter Falls. Lotus Pads will randomly spawn in water bodies on the overworld map, flower and turn into Lotus Pods over time. Every part of a lotus plant can be harvested with any Fishing Rod and used for crafting, planting, animal food, or some quests, sold or donated to the Museum. Harvested Lotus Pods can be thrown back into the water where they will grow into new lotus plants over time.
Four colors of lotus exist in the game: blue, peach, pink, and yellow. The color of each flower is chosen randomly at the moment it is planted. Lotuses of the same color planted in a 3x3 grid will merge into rare and valuable Giant Lotus.
Lotus life cycle
In addition to the lotus pads that spawn in the wild, the player can plant any lotus pods they have harvested in any accessible water body on the main map. To plant a lotus, the player has to hold a pod in their active inventory slot, stand near a body of water they would like to plant the lotus into, and then aim and throw with the action button. If the pad lands in the water, the lotus gets planted in the spot.
Lotus plants are not seasonal and will grow and flower all year round.
The life cycle of any lotus can be separated into five distinct stages:
- Freshly planted lotus pod that looks like a large dark spot underwater. Lotus pods thrown in the water by the player always start at this stage. The stage lasts 4 days and can be reduced to 1 day if the player wears the Lotus Luminescence necklace when throwing the pod in. At this stage the plant cannot be harvested with a fishing rod.
- Lotus Pad that floats on the spot where the lotus was planted. This stage lasts 5 days. The pad can be fished out to remove the plant entirely but cannot be thrown back into the water to be replanted.
- Lotus Bud that appears on the pad when the previous stage ends. This stage lasts 5 days. The bud can be fished out to be sold or donated without removing the pad; fishing the bud out will revert lotus growth to stage 2.
- Lotus Flower: Blue, Peach, Pink, or Yellow. The flower can be fished out without removing the pad, and fishing the flower out will revert lotus growth to stage 2. The color of the flower is randomly determined the moment it is planted during stage 1, and the same lotus plant will continue to bring flowers of the same color. If the player wishes to have a lotus of a different color in the same spot, they have to remove the plant entirely by removing the pad and then plant another lotus pod in its place.
This stage lasts 5 days before turning into a lotus pod. - Lotus Pod, the last stage of the cycle. This stage lasts indefinitely until the pod is fished out to revert the plant to stage 2. The pod can be thrown into the water to plant another lotus.
All parts of the lotus plant can be donated to the Museum for its Water Plants collection, sold, or can appear as an animal's favorite food. Some flowers can also be used in crafting.
