Read this as Scrotras and was laughing. But it’s was sadly just the dyslexia

Make sure you have enough food and health points to fight the Silver Lynel at this location.

TIL about Socotra trees. Neat! From wiki: The famous Socotra Dragon Blood Tree (Dracaena cinnabari) and other uniquely adapted "Socotra trees" (like the Socotra fig and bottle tree) grow natively only on the Socotra Archipelago, a remote group of four islands in the Arabian Sea belonging to Yemen

Isn't that a different tree though? Image googling looks quite different.

Ah, yes. Adenium obesum subsp. socotranum (or Adenium socotranum). They also have Dendrosicyos. Man, that island is weird...

You'd be able to shoot a believable "alien planet" movie there without any set building.

You'd also have to be in yemen. I hope one day i could go there safely, but id stick out like a sore thumb and thats probably not a good thing there right now :( i know its not main land yemen but idk. Sailing the waters between yemen and somalia might also not be a good idea.

Most of the age of the dinosaurs existed before flowers evolved. Earth's past looked far more alien than many of our modern ideas of alien worlds.

Get some Silver Sword plants from the top of Haleakala (the volcano on Maui) and you'd be set:

The lava fields on the Big Island really did feel like a lunar landscape

Haleakala felt the same. Just a whole other world. The only other place I felt like that was Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho.
