How to Get Automaton Charm Oils in Nightingale

Learn how to get Automaton Charm Oils in Nightingale! Discover locations, identify Bishops vs. Knights, and explore alternative methods for acquiring this vital resource.

Alright, let's talk about getting your hands on Automaton Charm Oils in Nightingale. These are super important, and you'll primarily be hunting down a specific type of enemy for them.

Automaton Charm Oil Location - Nightingale

So, the main way to snag these oils is by taking down Automaton Bishops. You can find these guys chilling in various Desert Realms like the Astrolabe, Provisioner, Herbarium, Gloom, and Hunt biomes. Unfortunately, they don't have a fixed spawn point, so you'll need to do a bit of exploring to track them down. Keep an eye out, because they look pretty similar to Automaton Knights, and you *only* want to fight the Bishops.

How to tell a Bishop from a Knight:

• Automaton Bishop: Has one piece of fabric hanging in the center and will teleport, spawn Automation Pawns, and shield itself. This is the one you want!
• Automaton Knight: Has two pieces of fabric hanging off the sides. These guys *do not* drop the oil, so leave them be.

To make your search a bit easier, consider using a Realmic Transmuter with a Minor Explorer Card. This helps you cover ground faster in those big desert expanses. Boosting your movement speed with infusions like the Time Infusion (which directly increases movement speed) or charms like the Charm of the Arcane (after casting a spell) or Charm of the Fencer (after damaging an enemy) can also make a huge difference. It's not strictly necessary, but it'll definitely save you some time trudging across the desert.

Ritual Seed Nursery Method

Now, if you're not feeling the combat route, there's a peaceful alternative! You can actually get an Automaton Charm Oil by offering a specific item to an Automaton Bishop. Here's how:

1. First, you'll need to have completed Victor Frankenstein’s quest. You can find him in the Desert Astrolabe Realm.
2. Once that's done, find a non-aggressive Automaton Bishop (remember, Knights are aggressive, Bishops aren't unless provoked).
3. Approach the Bishop, and you should see a blue interaction box appear.
4. Interact with it and place a Ritual Seed Nursery inside. The Bishop will then drop an Automaton Charm Oil for you. Easy peasy!

The Bishop's Charm Quest

You might also come across a quest called 'The Bishop's Charm'. This quest is given by Nellie Bly in the Herbarium Desert Realm. To complete it, you'll simply need to bring her the Automaton Charm Oil you've gathered. She also gives two other quests: 'The Sun Giant’s Prize' and 'The Heart of the Elder Eoten', so keep an eye out for those too!
