Clover Leaves

Clover leaves are Twinsen's lives. Every time his life points drop to zero, he will lose a clover leaf. If he loses all his clover leaves, he will die, resulting in game over.

Clover leaves are stored in Clover Boxes which limit the maximum lives Twinsen can have at a time. Additional boxes can be found to increase this maximum. Picking up a clover leaf with no empty boxes available replenishes life and magic points to maximum. In LBA2, the next clover after that refills the Horn of the Blue Triton.

Clover leaves aren't randomly dropped from dead enemies, only a few specific ones drop them. Very rarely, they are available as random drops in specific game events. Others can be found in special places like some specific mushrooms. Most of them are given to Twinsen by NPCs as rewards.

Locations table legend

Availability

• Permanent: accessible during a large part of the game (generally, for the whole time on a planet)
• Temporary: accessible during a short frame in the plot; alternatively, in an area that is technically accessible afterwards but is such a detour that it's impractical
• One-time: given one-time and doesn't respawn upon revisiting the area; alternatively, located on a map that's impossible to revisit

Difficulty: remoteness/technical

Remoteness

• Near: at, or almost at a major path - can be collected without spending much time while in the area
• Far: requires a detour of at least a few minutes of real time to (re)visit while in the same area
• Remote: requires a trip to another area and/or a very time-consuming sequence to revisit

Technical difficulty

• Easy: no specific problems, can be used to replenish leaves supply by revisiting the area if not one-time
• Medium: slight problems without a high risk to lose a life
• Dangerous: need to avoid high danger to pick - likely to lose lives on an attempt
