Horizon Forbidden West is filled with resources and materials for you to sell and craft throughout your journey in the forbidden west. These materials all have their uses—some will allow you to craft arrows, traps, or other useful items like the fast travel packs. Horizon Forbidden West adds new resources, like the food resources.

Deepwater Kindle Weed Oil is a common food resource harvested from the Deepwater Kindle Weed Oil plant. This plant is often found growing on lake beds. The plant can typically be found in small ponds and lakes in No Man’s Land. Keep an eye out for this tall green plant under the water.

What are Deepwater Kindle Weed Oil used for?

Deepwater Kindle Weed Oil is a food resource and is used for purchasing food from cooks in Settlements. You will need to play a few hours before coming across your first settlement with a cook, which can be found at Chainscrape. The cook here will give you a side quest, which you must complete before unlocking the ability to get food. To make food, you will need to supply the cooking materials, and they will cook food for you, which will provide various buffs for Aloy.
