'''Glow sap''' is an item found in {{P4}} by defending [[Lumiknoll]]s during [[night expedition]]s. It can be used as a medicine to cure [[leafling]]s when given to [[Yonny]], but only one cure can be created per glow sap.
'''Glow sap''' is a nectar-like substance produced by [[Lumiknoll]]s. A Lumiknoll will produce one glow sap after being active for one night. [[Yonny]] can synthesize a glow sap unit into a medicine capable of curing [[Leafling]]s by using DNA from a "non-leafified" individual of the same species.
 
Consuming raw glow sap can lead to negative side effects and isn't capable of curing a Leafling. However, it also acts as a preventative against conversion into one, as shown by [[Yorke]] and [[Nelle]], who are deposited into an [[Onion]] and remain unchanged; Yonny suggests that as long as glow sap is present within the system, it destroys leaves before they can sprout.
 
Since Lumiknolls can only produce one portion each, glow sap is a finite resource. There is exactly enough glow sap available to cure every Leafling (excluding the [[Sage Leaf]], who chooses to go uncured anyways).

glow sap as seen in pikmin 4
A glow sap from Pikmin 4.

Glow sap is a nectar-like substance produced by Lumiknolls. A Lumiknoll will produce one glow sap after being active for one night. Yonny can synthesize a glow sap unit into a medicine capable of curing Leaflings by using DNA from a "non-leafified" individual of the same species.

Consuming raw glow sap can lead to negative side effects and isn't capable of curing a Leafling. However, it also acts as a preventative against conversion into one, as shown by Yorke and Nelle, who are deposited into an Onion and remain unchanged; Yonny suggests that as long as glow sap is present within the system, it destroys leaves before they can sprout.

Since Lumiknolls can only produce one portion each, glow sap is a finite resource. There is exactly enough glow sap available to cure every Leafling (excluding the Sage Leaf, who chooses to go uncured anyways).

  • Consumption of large amounts of glow sap appears to increase one's oxygen tolerance.[1]
  • Olimar's notes on the Smoky Progg suggest that when a Mamuta absorbs glow sap, it dramatically affects their reproduction, causing the egg yolk to mutate into a Smoky Progg.[2]
