Dark Petals are obtained by picking Evil Flowers that spawn around the Things, Maxwell's Door, or a Totally Normal Tree. If the world no longer has any Evil Flowers, one can use a Deconstruction Staff on Nightmare Fuel to obtain 4 Dark Petals. Additionally, dark petals can be obtained by trading trinkets and meats at the Sunken Boat.

Evil Flowers drain the player's Sanity by 5 when picked, and have an active sanity drain aura while standing. Dark Petals can be eaten to drain an additional 5 Sanity points (the value is not affected by freshness) or used to craft Nightmare Fuel using a Shadow Manipulator or a Prestihatitator.
