Discover how to get the rare Cactus Flower in Dota 2 by completing Battle Pass challenges, leveling up, and participating in special events. Enhance your gaming experience today!
Act 2 of Crownfall in Dota 2 was released on May 23, 2024, adding new levels and mini-events. If you are not a fan of lore, skipping the entire plot and character dialogues, you may encounter a problem in the form of Snapfire quests, namely, how to get a cactus token.
To briefly go through the plot, you must find or create a potion to save the leader of Crow, who was wounded by demons. Granny (Snapfire) can help with this: she agrees to prepare a healing potion, but for this you need special ingredients, the first of which will be a cactus flower.
What is Fallen Crown
First, it’s worth explaining what Crownfall is – an event in Dota 2, the plot of which is connected with the journeys of Skywrath Mage and Vengeful Spirit. It was released on April 19, 2024. It is an interactive map, to progress on which you need to play with certain characters with specific tokens.
For completing each point on the map, you get a small reward: sweets for the candy shop, treasuries, coins for the store. And for completing the entire act, you can get unique sets for characters or an Immortal rarity item in the paid map add-on.
How to get there
You don’t have to play through Act I to get to Act II of Crownfall, unless you want to get to know the story and get into the lore of the game.
First, you need to find Snapfire – she is under a canopy in the desert, near the cauldron with her riding lizard Mortimer. It is at the bottom of the map, exactly in the center. In the count, it is between the fourth and fifth stages of the map’s plot.
Where to find cactus flower
First, you need to find the first ingredient – petals of a blooming cactus. Luckily, cacti grow near Snapfire. To complete the task, you need to click on cacti with pink flowers. The first attempts will fail, and the plants will burst right before your eyes, but eventually one of the flowers will bloom and can be collected.
What to do with it?
When you find the right ingredient, you will receive a notification about receiving a token with the same name. Return to Granny (Snapfire). You will start a dialogue, most likely she will scold you because you indiscriminately clicked on all the cacti. Then she will give you the next quest to find a new ingredient. If you thought that finding a cactus flower was easy, then more interesting tasks await you further.
Further tasks
After completing the first part of finding ingredients for the potion, you will need:
Demon Blood – This can be collected from the corpses of creatures located to the right of the starting point on the map. You also need to click on them and you will receive a token
Puffball mushroom – it is located in a random place on the map and looks like a polka-dotted ball. In one place it exists for a certain amount of time – if you found it now, tomorrow it will be in another place. Click on it and you will get the resource you need.
The Fire Beetle is the last and most difficult ingredient to get. It is hidden in the volcano on the right side of the map, specifically inside the volcano. Do not click on it as soon as you see it, otherwise it will run away from the cursor, and you will not catch it. In order to crush it, you need to very slowly point the mouse cursor towards it and right-click on it. After that, you will get a notification about receiving the last part of the potion.
Summary
Return to Beatrice (Snapfire) and give her all the ingredients you found for the healing potion. She will prepare it and give you a token of the same name, which will allow you to move further along the map.
