Realm Cards in Nightingale are necessary to access new Realms and biomes. They’re also essential for game progression, and the Herbarium Realm Card is one of the first to get you to higher tier Realms. Here is how you can get it. 

The Herbarium Realm Card in Nightingale is the first Realm Card you find that takes you to Tier 2 Realms. Once you get here, you’ll have access to better technology, building, resources, and more. 

In order to get it, you need to find the Herbarium Site of Power and defeat the boss inside. Here is everything you need to know about its location, how to craft it, and tips for beating the boss at the Site of Power. 

Where to find Herbarium Realm Card in Nightingale

Nightingale players must find and access the Herbarium Site of Power in the Abeyance Realm, to get the Herbarium Realm Card.

The first thing you need to know is that you need a Gear Score of at least 40 before you can enter the Herbarium Site of Power. Step by step, here is what you need to do: 

  1. Reach a Gear Score of 40
  2. Find the Herbarium Site of Power and enter it.
  3. Go up the stairs or climbable blocks. 
  4. Reach the sunroof at the top of the dungeon. 
  5. Defeat the Fabled Automaton Knights
  6. Get the recipe for the Herbarium Realm Card. 

The Herbarium Site of Power will look like a large structure and can appear in the Forest, Swamp, or Desert. You’re going to be looking for a large clump of floating white stones, and it should also appear on your map.

Realm Cards allow you to access new Realms with higher tier resources.

The enemies in the Herbarium Site of Power will be nothing you haven’t seen before at this point, but they may have a little extra health. The main issue with this dungeon is the environmental hazards you’ll need to look out for during the boss fight. 

If you are in the Desert Biome, you’re going to need to manage your stamina and find places to hide from the sun. If you are in a Forest or Swamp, however, you need to look out for hail and rain which can also affect your stamina. 

The boss also has a new attack here: Gatling Gun. Using the crystal at the center of its body, it will lock onto you and shoot multiple projectiles. Make sure you dash out of the way and take any opportunity you get to do massive damage to the crystal.
