Glimmering Broadleaf

The Glimmering Broadleaf can be found along the river between the Ancient Sith Crypt and the Republic Forward Operating Base. Follow the trail listed on the map and you’ll see the purple fronded plant with it’s glowing blue base sitting near a large pillar of rock. If you’ve followed our flirron pet guide, this plant sits right next to one of the lootable tasty morsels.

Heliophytic Fungus

This objective is located inside the central cave system on Onderon. Start from your faction’s cave camp quicktravel and simply head into the tunnel – the mushroom that’s interactable will be on the northern path.

Leeching Frond

The Leeching Frond can be found up at the northern Lake Encampments area with Mandalorians on it. Head to the center of the lake – the little shipwreckage in the middle covered in Arknoroks and hostile Orlax has this small plant sitting right on it.

Sensile Blossom

The Sensile Blossom is just up the road from the Iziz Bridge – in the image above you can see that it’s sitting right under a broadleaf next to the road. From the bridge, just take the northern trail up and keep your eye on the left side of the path.

Uncanny Rotstem

The Uncanny Rotstem can be found directly on top of the Ancient Sith Crypt – not inside but in the field above all the tunnels. It looks quite similar to all the other plants near it but luckily if you’ve never gotten this achievement before, it’ll be glowing blue like usual. The one in the image above is just west of the eastern tunnel entrance.
