You’ll be tasked with helping Colony 6 Reconstruction in Xenoblade Chronicles, which requires you to donate money and items to level up four categories. One of the first items you’ll need to track down is the Dark Grape. You need two Dark Grapes in Xenoblade Chronicles as part of the contributions to unlock Nature Level 1.
While Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition adds some conveniences that make the Colony 6 reconstruction less of a pain, it can still be challenging to find the items you need. Fortunately, we know the exact location of the Dark Grapes, so you’re not stuck wandering around looking for them.
