 For a hero interested in harvesting kelp, [[Juiblex's swamp]] and [[Medusa's Island]] are the best levels for kelp collecting, though the latter level and many other areas where kelp can generate are populated with [[giant eel]]s&mdash;be careful not to end up [[drowned]]! Heroes collecting kelp should locate them with a means of [[object detection]] or [[food detection]], then either [[fly]] or [[levitate]] over the water and apply a [[bullwhip]] down on the marked squares, or else submerge themselves in the water (usually via [[magical breathing]]) and collect them manually.

 ==Strategy==
-Kelp is generally not sought out in most games, and most characters that reach an area with kelp will generally have more than enough food on hand. One possible use is as a lightweight snack for vegan or vegetarian characters that decide to collect fronds; another possible use is for taming a domestic steed. Perhaps the easiest way for a character to harvest kelp fronds is to locate them with a means of [[object detection]] or [[food detection]], then either [[fly]] or [[levitate]] over the water and apply a [[bullwhip]] down on the marked squares, or else submerge themselves in water (usually via [[magical breathing]]) and collect them manually.
