Playfighting Herbalist

* Standard
* Ascended

The **Playfighting Herbalist** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of Enchantment who offers the  Play Fight Action.
The Playfighting Herbalist is found past the Forgotten Ark, in a set of ruins on the left side of the map. The collectibles offered by this Spirit are a  Cape, a  Hair, a  Mask, a  Light Orb, and a  Music Sheet 13.

## Memory

The Playfighting Herbalist can be found past the Forgotten Ark, in a set of ruins overgrown with Darkness Plants on the left side of the map. This Spirit is a carry Spirit memory with 6 memory fragments, with a 15-minute overall time limit.

As you relive its memory, you can see the Playfighting Herbalist and their friend, the Scarecrow Farmer, collecting mushrooms growing among the ruins of a boat.

At the end of the memory, the Scarecrow Farmer sneaks up on the Playfighting Herbalist and scares them as a prank. The frightened Spirit drops their gathered mushrooms into the Polluted Water below, rendering them inedible. The Playfighting Herbalist slowly turns around and playfully ‘attacks’ the Farmer in retaliation, as the Scarecrow Farmer crouches down, arms thrown up, in an attempt to shield themselves from their friend’s ‘attack.'

## Friend Action

*Note: While this Spirit can be found in Forgotten Ark, the upgrade to the "Play Fight" Friend Action will not be available for those who missed the Season or those who did not purchase the Season Pass until the Spirit returns as a Traveling Spirit.*

This Spirit offers the  Play Fight Action and has 2 Levels.

Play Fight Action Level 1Play Fight Action Level 2
* Level 1 will make your avatar crouch down with your hands held at the ready before standing back up to playfully hit your friend on their back, as they turn away from your hands to accept the blows, while a crashing percussion sound effect plays.
* Level 2 will make your avatar crouch down with your hands held at the ready before standing back up to playfully hit your friend at a more rapid pace, as they turn to the side and hold up an arm in attempt to fend off the blows, while a more dramatic percussion sound effect plays.

Like any Extended Two-Player Abilities, this ability can be upgraded by opening your friend's Friendship Menu. Unlocking the Level 1 ability will cost you 8 . After unlocking Level 1, it will cost you 10  more to upgrade to the Level 2. (See Friendship Menu to view the entire Friendship Tree.)

As a Traveling Spirit, the price of the Friend Action upgrade was 10 . During the Season, Level 1 was free, but Level 2 was only available to Season Pass holders.
