Preparations

Ambrosia

The flavor of beer used in your ambrosia is the only variant for this festival. Osiris beer requirements consist of a combination of two properties and a flavor -- for example, "Potent Black Barley" or "Fruity Sweet Honey".

Having extra properties in the beer is okay. For example, "Potent Fruity Sweet Black Beer, hint of barley, hint of date" would satisfy "Potent Black Barley".

Note that "Very Potent" and "Potent" are two distinct properties, and thus "Very Potent" does not satisfy a "Potent" requirement.

Spoiled beer can still be used for ambrosia, as long as it had the desired attributes in it.

Ambrosia is made at a kitchen with the Ambrosia Brewing skill and takes 10 minutes.

Crop Tricks

Arrive ahead of time and grow your flax and barley. Weed the flax and then leave it be. It will stick around for a long time in that state. Grow the barley to completion in the normal way with applications of water, fertilizer, and weedkiller. Once barley is "Ready To Harvest" it will last twenty minutes, plenty of time for several people to perform the ceremony.

Procedure

1. Dress in black. Open your Appearance menu and change every part of your wardrobe to black, except for skin color. (Keep in mind that it can be difficult to change your appearance back to normal by memory, so consider taking a screenshot of your regular attire. Alternately, I'm told that you can switch avatar types and make the change to black there, and when you go back to your normal avatar type, your dress will be the same. It seems there are a couple of specific avatar types this doesn't work for, so ask around first.)
2. Plant at least one of each required seed (possibly cabbage, leek, onion, garlic, carrot, barley, and flax seed). Bring a few jugs of water, and water the vegetables a few times so they don't die right away. You don't want them dying off a fraction of a second before you do step 3, which will screw it up. It can help to share vegetable-tending duties with a couple other festival-goers, so you don't have so many things to keep your eyes on.
3. Click on the altar and sacrifice your ambrosia.
