A character must climb to the top of the mountain to obtain a rare flower. The reason behind this varies. It may be because the flower is an ingredient in the cure to a disease, to prove his love for someone or to her father or even just to prove that he could climb to the top of Skullcrusher Mountain and come back alive. In a series set in a "realistic" universe, the flower used is often edelweiss, which grows in the Alps. Unfortunately, many people in Real Life have fallen to their deaths trying to pick it, since it's rarer than The Theme Park Version of the Alps would have one believe, and often grows in inaccessible places. The flower does not need to be on a literal mountaintop to fit this trope: any place which is very dangerous or difficult to access will do. |

In Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman convinces Poison Ivy to tell him where to find a plant capable of counteracting the Titan formula claiming that all plants on the island will be destroyed if she doesn't help him. Ivy agrees and informs Batman that the plant he seeks...is in Killer Croc's lair. | |

Star Ocean: The Second Story: There's a sick little girl whom you can get Private Actions with (along with another character— who it is depends on who you're playing as and who you have in your party), and in some of them you go on a journey to the Lassguss Mountains to get a plant to cure her. It happens again when Bowman makes you venture into the annoying Sanctuary of Linga to find a herb he has never seen before. There's no pressing reason for this, he just wants to see if your braggadocio is legit. |

Star Ocean series practically makes it its tradition. The original Star Ocean: Fantastic Space Odyssey subverts it, where our heroes, having been living on a normal fantasy world, have to obtain the flower to cure a plague which is turning people into stone/crystals. However, as soon as you get there, an exploration team from the starship above beams down, hears your story and takes you back to the ship to get an actual cure. It doesn't work, but this does eventually cause you to wind up saving everyone in the world, and the galaxy. Star Ocean: The Second Story: There's a sick little girl whom you can get Private Actions with (along with another character— who it is depends on who you're playing as and who you have in your party), and in some of them you go on a journey to the Lassguss Mountains to get a plant to cure her. It happens again when Bowman makes you venture into the annoying Sanctuary of Linga to find a herb he has never seen before. There's no pressing reason for this, he just wants to see if your braggadocio is legit. Star Ocean: Till the End of Time: Ameena, the ill girl you befriend, is making a wishing charm out of a rare flower, which grows only in the wilderness area around the town where you meet her. It doesn't appear to be anything more than an inconvenience for most people to find it, but she's in such poor health that it nearly kills her. Star Ocean: The Divine Force once againg makes the party venture on a mountain in order to find a rare herb for use in a medicine. This time, it turns out to be the real cure, but another complication arises - the herb is being systematically destroyed by the group that spreads the disease in the first place. The party manages to find only a small patch preserved for research. Luckily, it turns out to be enough. |

In The Smurfs comic book version of "The Astro Smurf", one of Astro's challenges to become a Swoof is to get an edelweiss flower from the top of a mountain before sundown, and given that this task takes place around sundown, this gives Astro very little time to accomplish it. After being unable to climb up the mountain, Astro sees a stork and uses it to complete the challenge in record time. | |

In "Ararat", the first The People story by Zenna Henderson, the colony welcomes yet another teacher from Outside. The kids are warned not to levitate or use any Psychic Powers around her, as this has driven several Outsiders insane. Jemmy immediately falls in love with the young woman, Valancy, who seems rather sad. Marriage with an Outsider is unheard-of and when he proposes to her anyway she turns him down with a literal It's Not You, It's Me ! On the first day of classes, he presents her with a bouquet of red autumn leaves. These come only from trees that grow far up on the mountain, so he flew up there secretly. But in the schoolroom, two identical bouquets are found in the inkwells of a double-seated desk to welcome twins starting the first grade. If Jemmy didn't put them there, who did? | |

Brave Fencer Musashi: Misteria, one of the two ingredients needed to treat Tim during Chapter 3, inverts this, being a magic flower that only blooms between certain times and can be found on a rock formation in the Mine's Underground Lake. The other ingredient, Aqualin, does reside atop Twinpeak Mountain, but is simply mineral water with restorative properties. | |

Story of Seasons: One of the side quests in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town involves getting Ellen a rare flower that only blooms on the top of Mt. Moon at midnight. A similar premise is used in Harvest Moon: Magical Melody, in which the town's traditional means of proposing involves a person climbing a mountain and finding a blue feather that is dropped by a bird that flies over there. Your character must do this in order to marry any love interest with the required number of hearts. |

Fire Emblem: In Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, Marcus tells Lilina in their supports that Roy's dad Eliwood did this when he was young, to please his now-deceased wife aka Roy's Missing Mom who can be either Lyndis, Ninian or Fiora. (Though the talk implies said mom isn't Lyndis, as out of the three ladies she's the only one who is NOT from the zone the flower grows in. In Fire Emblem: Awakening, a Male Morgan can do this for Nah in their supports, as the dragon goddess Naga requires it for a ritual that she asks the half-Dragon Nah for. If they reach S support, it turns out it was a plot by Naga to prove to Nah that her prayers for Morgan to love her wasn't necessary, because he already loved her. |

In the Redwall book Salamandastron, Thrugg (and Dumble, who followed him) sets out to pick the Flowers of Icetor from the northern mountains to cure a devastating plague at the Abbey. They're guarded by possibly the biggest animal in the entire series (the Wild King MacPhearsome's legs are as big around as Thrugg, and he's a big otter), but Thrugg challenges him for the flowers anyway, and he ends up flying Dumble back to the Abbey. | |

Sofia the First: In the episode "Enchanted Science Fair", Amber accidentally overuses the Hocus Crocus for her group's project, destroying her own project as well as those of her siblings. When the children visit Cedric the Sorcerer again to restock on ingredients so they can try again, he tells them he's all out of Hocus Crocus and that the only place to get the flower is at the top of Mist Bowl Mountain, but there is enough for only one of their projects. Much of the ensuing episode is then dedicated to them trying to obtain the flower. | |

In Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, Marcus tells Lilina in their supports that Roy's dad Eliwood did this when he was young, to please his now-deceased wife aka Roy's Missing Mom who can be either Lyndis, Ninian or Fiora. (Though the talk implies said mom isn't Lyndis, as out of the three ladies she's the only one who is NOT from the zone the flower grows in. | |

In a Dragon article about dream magic, it's advised that the unique material components required (dreamwillow bark and blue lotus flowers) are very rare, to balance the power of dream spells. One specific suggestion is that in the Forgotten Realms setting, the blue lotus blooms once a year, in the highest mountains of Tabot. | |

In the Ramayana, Lakshmana, the younger brother of Rama, is struck by a arrow tipped with an incredibly rare and deadly poison during the war. The only cure for it is from a rare flower known as Sanjeevani (it roughly translates to "Bloom of Eternal Life"). Hanuman, being the loyal friend that he is, goes to get it from the mountain it grows on. When he sees that the flower is growing all over the mountain, he picks up the entire mountain and flies back so that the entire army can be healed from it. Alternately, he cannot tell the correct herb and carries it back to the experts who can. | |

The Elven Storyteller requires you to get the Mana Leaf Herb from "a difficult place" in order to cure Colette's illness, and there's also a Sidequest in which Raine falls ill, and everyone splits up to find a way to cure her. Her brother Genis and his friend Mithos find the required flower at the top of the Fooji Mountains. | |

In an episode of Dinosaurs, Charlene needed to get the (aptly named) MacGuffin lily in order to change her scent, which was supposed to attract her true love (hers was a big, oafish brute). She arrives to the mountain top only to find that the field had been cleared away to make room for a photo booth. When she returns, however, she finds that her scent had changed nonetheless, apparently triggered by her desire to improve herself and not settle. | |

The only wolfsbane flower in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind expansion Bloodmoon is located on top of a large mountain in Solstheim. The original Morrowind has a more downplayed version — one sidequest asks you to find five (extremely rare) Roland's Tear flowers, and the quest-giver knows of one place where they grow. The good news is, it's not exactly inaccessible — it's actually fairly close. The bad news is that it is a Daedric ruin, and Daedric ruins have a reputation as some of the most dangerous places in all Morrowind. | |

Moomin (1990): In "The Great Race", the Witch and Mr. Brisk compete to see if her broom or his hot-air balloon flies better by having a race to the top of Lonely Mountains to pick up a starshaped white flower that grows only there. The Witch wins the race and gives the flower for Mr. Hemulen to plant in his garden. In another episode, "Snorkmaiden's Lost Memory" Snorkmaiden gained Easy Amnesia from attempting to reach a flower she thought was Edelweiss, slightly inverted that she climbed down to reach the flower initially, and ends up climbing down because she and Moomin judged trying climbing back up was too dangerous, only to lose her footing on the way. |

In Trials of Mana, you go get flowers from a mountaintop... but when you arrive you make it so your wind spirit blows them toward a castle you are about to invade. Said flowers act like a sleeping gas. | |

In Exile III / Avernum III, you have to fetch the most beautiful flower in the world for a faerie. It's deep in a mountain valley full of increasingly pretty meadows of flowers, each guarded by even huger hoards of gremlins that use the "Charm Person" spell. | |

In Feist's Riftwar saga, Prince Arutha has to go get the extremely rare Silverthorn flower from the top of a mountain of death infested by dark elves, as it's the only way to save his fiancée from a painful death by poison. Notable in that it's the same flower used to make the poison and the dark elves use it both because it's so deadly and so rare, meaning enemies will have a hard time getting a sample to make a cure. | |

Ofelia of Pan's Labyrinth tells her mother and unborn brother a story about a rose on top of a terrible mountain. Whoever plucks the rose wins eternal life, but the thorns of the rose are full of deadly poison. People who mention it only talk about their fear of death and pain, so the rose sits on the mountain, wilting more each day because it can't give its gift away. | |

In Fire Emblem: Awakening, a Male Morgan can do this for Nah in their supports, as the dragon goddess Naga requires it for a ritual that she asks the half-Dragon Nah for. If they reach S support, it turns out it was a plot by Naga to prove to Nah that her prayers for Morgan to love her wasn't necessary, because he already loved her. | |

Sexiest example of this trope: In the NBC series Crusoe, the title character must climb a mountain and then rappel down a forbidding cliff on his island in order to retrieve a rare plant that is needed to create a medicine to cure a delirious Friday. Not only that, but he has to cut his rope (the stump it was tied to above pulled out and fell down past him, threatening to yank him off the cliff face), forcing Olivia, the medically savvy temporary visitor to the island who was posing as a man and who was along on the climb helping him find the right plant, to save him. She does this by removing all her clothes and unwinding her bindings to fashion a make-shift rope and then, completely naked, proceeding to haul him back up to the top. | |

Kingdom of Loathing had a limited time event where you could catch a plague. One of the ingredients for a temporary cure was a "Blood Flower" that grew at the peak of Mount McLarge Huge, at the site of a battle where Yeti and Mafia Penguins killed each other. You consider "leaving it there, as a touching testament to the futility of war, but then your avarice kicks in and you pick it." | |

An excellent example can be found in Season 1, Episode 4 of BBC’s Merlin (2008). To make an antidote for a magical poison, Arthur must retrieve the rare Mortaeus Flower which only grows in one place: the distant caves beyond the Forests of Balor. He’s warned that it will be a long and dangerous journey, so much so that Uther forbids him from going. But of course he goes anyway; if he doesn't then Merlin will die from Nimueh's poison. Arguably an Act of True Love if you go in for that sort of thing. | |

Babylon 5 references this trope briefly in the fifth season episode Learning Curve. Ranger Instructor Turval explains the importance of following orders to a headstrong pupil by asking if he would be willing to undertake a mission to climb to the top of a high mountain and retrieve a single flower from the summit, knowing that he would certainly die immediately afterwards. Of course not, the student replies, such a mission would be trivial. But what if, the instructor asks, the flower was a symbol, which would inspire a resistance movement that would free millions of people from oppression and slavery? The student grudgingly agrees that such a task would be worth dying for. | |

Rammstein's "Rosenrot" details the story of a man who tries to climb a mountain to retrieve a rose for his lover, and consequently falls to his death. This is based on a poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe called "Heidenröslein" or "Heideröslein" ("Rose on the Heath" or "Little Rose of the Field"), which itself is based on a song from the 16th century. However, Goethe's version sounds more like rape than picking flowers. | |
