Knotroot is primarily found in caves. However, to harvest Knotroot, you’ll need more than just the basic Common Forest Axe. Instead you’ll need a Uncommon Forest Axe which is crafted from the first upgrade of your Crafting Bench. Here’s a detailed guide:

  • Collect 3 Bones by defeating Skeletons
  • Gather 3 Shells by eliminating Rollers
  • Build a Crafting Bench and a Lumber Mill
  • Craft 3 Wooden Rods and 8 Planks in the Lumber Mill
  • Upgrade the Crafting Bench to uncommon using 8 Planks and 3 Shells
  • Craft an Uncommon Forest Axe using 3 Bones and 3 Wooden Rods
