Withered Nests are ugly masses of rotten flesh that can be identified even from a distance by the large, globous, pulsating red globs they emit. As you might expect, they spawn the Withered on a constant basis, and if one is near a structure of yours, prepare to see them swarming your Ecosystem often. Withered Nsests also vary in size, from being relatively small to utterly massive, but they can be dealt with.

Withered Nests can be destroyed by crushing its core in the center. For small nests, simply walking up to it and interacting with it for a few seconds is enough. However, you’ll need to destroy the roots that defend it in the case of larger nests. Like the core, simply walking up to a root and interacting with it for a few seconds is enough to destroy one. The biggest threat to all of this is the Withered that surrounds you and will spawn the moment you get close. You’ll need to deal with them first to safely destroy their nests. As a rule of thumb, the bigger the nest, the more dangerous the Withered that will come from it, so be weary if you’re unprepared for a battle.

What do you get for destroying Withered Nests

So, you’re probably wondering what’s in it for you when you take down a Withered Nest? Is it worth your time and effort? The answer is a big yes. Clearing out a nest makes the area a lot safer, and on top of that, you’ll rack up a significant amount of Amity. Since wiping out Withered Nests is considered a life-giving act, you’ll earn Amity just like with any other restoration effort. The bigger the nest, the more Amity you’ll score. Even the smallest nests give a hefty reward, though, so if you can take them out, it’s always worth it.
