REKA's 'Roots & Remedies' Update Introduces Gardening Later This Month

Get in touch with nature and discover the magic of gardening with REKA’s brand new ‘Roots & Remedies Update’, coming to the beloved witchcraft adventure later this month.

Available as a free content update to all REKA players from May 12th, the Roots & Remedies Update gives budding witches all the tools they need to grow a blossoming garden. Plant seeds to grow pumpkin patches, cabbages, garlic, grain, sage, wolfsbane, poppy fields and more, using your new, trusty Old Watering Can to help your garden bloom.

Once harvested, head over to the new Herbalist Workshop to craft a very special potion that grants players the power to speak to animals. Become a witch capable of communicating with the wildlife of REKA’s woodlands: every animal in the game can be spoken to, including cats, goats, crows, deer, chickens, donkeys and more.

Also introduced in the Roots & Remedies Update, discover new challenges with the addition of ‘Lost Places’, hidden points of interest located across the game world that reward players with loot for successfully solving puzzles or navigating platforming sequences. Keep an eye out for intriguing-looking paintings and explore ruined buildings for a chance to discover hidden chests - you never know where Lost Places may be hiding.

Discover new equipment and wield the new Oil Lantern to help light up your surroundings, hold Swarog’s Torch to ignite small flames, and select the new Mortar and Pestle Talisman to quickly teleport home to your walking chicken-legged cottage. Plus, look out for more quality-of-life improvements, along with a new outfit, new trinkets, new interactable NPCs, and much more when the Roots & Remedies Update launches on May 12th.
