“ | This plant will not grow far from where the Isola natives bury their dead. It is best handled with gloves or some kind of tool as it is extremely venomous. Strangely, however, when mixed with other herbs, it sometimes loses all traces of its poisonous qualities and gains attributes of potency, making other potions stronger. Ingested in its pure form can be lethal, regardless of the preparation. | ” |

The Black Orchid is an alchemy herb in Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City used to make potions. It is found to the north of the graveyard.
Notes[]
- Black Orchid is needed to solve The Sharks puzzle when choosing the Nature faction.
- Matching its description in the official guide[1], Black Orchid is very poisonous on its own, and still causes damage when combined with a multitude of other herbs. When used to solve The Sharks puzzle, the resulting potion banishing the sharks instead of charming them is therefore quite fitting.
