Water Chestnuts Fields of Mistria: Location Guide

For water chestnuts Fields of Mistria, go to the riverbanks in the Narrows and look in the shallow water for the green plants identified by the collected guides. You can harvest them from the bank when close enough, or enter the water and interact with the plants directly. The clearest collected sources place them around the Narrows river and near the bridge, rather than in a general foraging area.

Find the Narrows riverbanks

TheGamer’s location guide says Water Chestnuts grow in abundance in the Narrows, west of the main town. It directs the player toward the southern river in the Narrows near Errol’s house and identifies the green leaves in the river as Water Chestnuts. The collected Steam community foraging guide gives the same broad location: Water Chestnuts are on the banks of the River in The Narrows.

The collected Steam request discussion adds a more specific landmark. A player response says Water Chestnuts can be found in the Narrows along the bridge below the museum, floating in water corners, with some also along the shore. Use these landmarks as wayfinding help, not as a claim that every spawn point is fixed.

If you are searching an open grassy field, you are probably looking in the wrong kind of place. The supplied community discussion says they are in the water in the Narrows and are harvested like other forageables. Use the visible river plants rather than relying on an exact spawn count or fixed coordinates.

What the plants look like and how to collect them

TheGamer describes the visible plants as green leaves in the river. Its guide says you can harvest them by approaching the riverbank, and alternatively pick them up by jumping into the water. The collected YouTube walkthrough similarly directs the player to shallow water along the Narrows riverbanks, then to interact with the plant in the water.

This is an interaction-and-foraging task, not a digging task. The Reddit material specifically arose from a player asking whether Water Chestnuts needed to be dug up; community replies said they were at the water’s edge and should be harvested. That provides a useful correction without assuming a player has already obtained a specific tool.

The YouTube walkthrough states that one plant yields three Water Chestnuts. TheGamer’s guide also says each plant yields three. Because yields can be affected by version or spawn state, check your current game result if you need an exact total for planning; do not treat an old guide’s count as a permanent guarantee without confirmation.

Use them for Juniper’s request

The collected sources connect Water Chestnuts to a request from Juniper. TheGamer says that, once requests are available, Juniper may ask for two Water Chestnuts. It says that turning in the request awards the Water Chestnut Fritters recipe and some renown by the end of the day.

The walkthrough repeats this sequence: it shows a quest objective to bring two Water Chestnuts to Juniper and describes the reward as the Water Chestnut Fritters recipe. This corroborates the request and recipe connection across two collected source types. TheGamer describes requests as random, so do not expect it on a fixed calendar day in every save.

If Juniper’s request is not currently active, collecting the forageable is still a way to prepare for it or use the item in other source-supported contexts. Do not state that the request is mandatory, guaranteed, or available immediately in every game. The source only reports one player receiving it early and characterizes requests as random.

Make Trail Mix for Josephine’s request

TheGamer’s guide also describes a Request Board task involving Josephine and Trail Mix. According to that source, Josephine asks for three portions of Trail Mix, and each portion uses two Water Chestnuts and one Wild Berry. The guide says the three requested portions therefore need six Water Chestnuts and three Wild Berries.

It says the recipe can be made at the stove in the Sleeping Dragon Inn under the snack section, and reports 100 Tesserae plus renown as the reward for completing the request. These are collected-guide details, not an official patch note. Verify the current recipe, reward, and request availability in game before treating them as fixed.

The useful planning point is narrower: Water Chestnuts can be relevant both as a direct request turn-in and as an ingredient in a request-related snack. If you collect a batch, reserve enough only when the active journal objective confirms the amount. The cited material does not establish additional recipes, animal-feed uses, or reliable vendor stock.

Season and regrowth: what the sources do and do not establish

The Steam community foraging guide places Water Chestnuts in a “Spring/Summer/Fall” group and explains that some forageables on dirt patches regrow every three days. Another Steam discussion includes a player report that Water Chestnuts regrow every three days from Spring 1 through Fall 28. These are useful leads, but they are community-source statements rather than official release notes.

The Reddit discussion includes a player report that the item was still collectable in summer. That supports the idea that it is not restricted to spring in the reported game state. It does not establish universal availability in every version, exact respawn behavior, or a fixed daily quantity.

One Steam discussion contains player reports about Balor’s Wagon, including a report that the item was no longer regularly purchasable and a later comment that it reappeared. Because these reports conflict and are not official store documentation, do not rely on the wagon as a guaranteed source. The dependable, repeatedly reported location in this material is the Narrows riverbank.

A quick route when you need them now

Travel west from the main town into the Narrows and head for the river. Check the shallow water along the banks, particularly near the bridge landmarks mentioned in the collected guides. Look for green plants in or at the edge of the water, then interact from the bank or swim close enough to harvest them.

After collecting them, open the Request Journal before spending them in a recipe. If Juniper’s request is active, compare the current objective with the two-item requirement described in the source. If Josephine’s Trail Mix request is active, confirm the recipe and the number of portions in your own game before turning items in.

This route follows the repeated Narrows riverbank location in the supplied materials. It does not imply a guaranteed spawn total, permanent vendor stock, or exact daily schedule.

Version note: Forage spawns, request timing, recipes, and rewards may change between releases. Check the current riverbank and active Request Journal when those details matter.
