A slightly creepy, goggling eyeball.

The Toad Eye is a Material in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.

Description[]

The basic Toad can first be encountered in the large, western outdoor screen of Garden of Silence, and so its Toad Eyes can be dropped and gathered. At that early stage, their only use is to convert a Monster Bird Tear dropped by the early Aello into a Mithridate, a poison-healing consumable that would cost 300G otherwise. While this can be worth crafting a couple units of, Mithridates are much more easily gotten by having them drop directly from the more advanced Poison Toads that first appear in the upper part of Towers of Twin Dragons, and then in the many blue chests in Hidden Desert much later.

One other immediate use for the Toad's Eye presents itself if you have the paid DLC "Japanesque Cosmetic Pack", which adds the Sakura Storm conjure shard as soon as the game starts. This ailment-inflicting spell increases its coverage as it gains ranks, and the first three ranks each take one Toad Eye.

Four other shards in the game end up requiring three Toad Eyes to advance up to Rank 4, so keeping a stockpile of Toad Eyes and not using them to create Mithridates is advisable. When you reach the lower level of Dian Cécht Cathedral somewhat early in the game, for example, the Gargoyle enemy can drop the Petra Ray directional shard. The beam projected will inflict petrification status that lasts longer depending on how much the shard is ranked up.

When the later, western region of the Forbidden Underground Waterway is explored following the Bloodless boss, the particularly useful Seeker can be encountered northwest of the zone's west Warp Room and can drop the Detective's Eye passive shard. Between the Toad Eyes dropped by the Toad, the Sinister Eyes dropped by the aforementioned Poison Toad, and the Demon Eyes dropped by the Seeker itself, you can already elevate the shard's rank to the maximum, which creates an incredibly useful skill shard version that encases Miriam in an aura that automatically picks up all dropped items in range.

The next Toad Eye-enhanced shard that can drop is Lethargy, a directional shard which is dropped by the Amy enemy in Hidden Desert. The coverage of the slow-inflicting beam increases as it is ranked up.

In Glacial Tomb at the very end of the game, the Seeker's Tracer variant drops the Summon Tracer conjure shard, which summons a friendly Tracer that attacks along the ground in the direction it is facing. Its duration is increased as it accumulates ranks.

Toad Eye is incidentally an "ingredient" in Dark Matter, a "food" that is cooked up yet usable as a material in all sorts of late-game crafts. However, your primary method of accumulating Dark Matter should come from dismantling a Gold material, which can either rarely appear in the many blue chests in Hidden Desert or be salvaged from each Ayamur you can get a Glashtyn in the western Waterway to drop. A single Gold material results in an astonishing 10 units of Dark Matter, and there is some value in dismantling at least one of those to populate your material stockpile with Toad Eye, Rat Tail (normally dropped by the early-game Giant Rat), Witch's Tears (normally dropped by the Cyhyraeth), and Fell Leaf (an ingredient for Salt Ramen and Soy Ramen that normally can only be gotten from the Giant Moco in Den of Behemoths).
