Breathedge 2 Nutriworm Guide: Where to Find Them, the Alcohol Recipe, and What Alcohol Is For

Make it in the crafting menu (C) like any other item. The recipe unlocks the first time you collect alcohol, so the first bottle you get (found or crafted) is what makes the craftable version available from then on.

Ice is the easy half — you chip it out of frozen blocks and icy wreckage all over the map (the materials page has the details). The Nutriworm is the half you have to travel for, which is why this page exists. One note: the guides list the ice count inconsistently (the side-quest guide says one ice, the crafting list and other sources say two) — either way, the Nutriworm is the ingredient you can't substitute.

• 1. Medkits (the one people miss).

  Alcohol is a Medkit ingredient: Medkit = Alcohol ×1 + Fabric ×2. If you want reliable healing, you want a steady alcohol supply — which means a steady Nutriworm supply. This is the most practical reason to gather them, and it's not called out anywhere obvious in-game.

• 2. The Chuck's Taxi quest.

  Near the end of the Chuck's Taxi repair chain, you meet two drinking robots on the platform. They throw things at you when you first approach; you accept their drink, and then you need to provide two more drinks to find common ground with them. Those two drinks are crafted alcohol. Getting this far is part of the quest that ends with you meeting Chuck.

• 3. The drinking achievements.

  Alcohol is what the two drinking-related achievements are built on: drinking 50 bottles total (grants Radiation Protection +10) and drinking 10 bottles in a row (grants Thirst Drain -5%). If you're working through the achievements page, you'll need a steady supply — and that supply starts with Nutriworms.

So the practical chain is: Nutriworms → alcohol → Medkits, quest progress, and achievement progress. The material is niche, but it's the only way in.

• Medkit

  Alcohol ×1 + Fabric ×2; healing item (the reason to keep alcohol around).

• Chuck's Taxi

  the side quest where the drinking robots and the two-drink requirement live.

• Drinking achievements

  50 bottles (Radiation Protection +10) and 10 in a row (Thirst Drain -5%).

• Crafting overview

  the full crafting list, including alcohol and everything else, is on the crafting page.

1. Confusing Nutriworms with Oxygen Worms.

   Different worms, different locations, different uses. Nutriworms are at the taxi platform water tower; Oxyworms are collected from their own spots and make oxygen gear, not alcohol.

2. Searching the wrong place.

   The worms aren't scattered across the map — they're specifically above the water tower left of the taxi platform. Fly up and look toward the tower.

3. Thinking alcohol is only for quests and drinking.

   It's also a Medkit ingredient, and Medkits are the most consistent use you'll get out of it.

Where exactly are Nutriworms?

Above the water tower structure to the left of the taxi platform.

How do I turn them into alcohol?

Craft it: Nutriworm ×1 + Ice ×2 in the crafting menu. The recipe unlocks once you've collected alcohol for the first time.

What do I need alcohol for?

Three things: Medkits (Alcohol + Fabric), the Chuck's Taxi quest (two drinks for the drinking robots), and the drinking achievements (50 bottles, 10 in a row).

Do I need a lot of Nutriworms?

Only as many as you want alcohol. Medkits and the quest need a modest amount; the achievements need more. There's no other heavy consumer in the launch build.

Do Nutriworms respawn?

Respawn behavior isn't documented for the current build — grab what you need while you're at the platform.
