This article will tell you about the ingredients that you should look out for, which will be able to give you the buffs that you may need when you are busy adventuring in Hyrule. It is important to try and pick up as many of these as you can whenever you come across them so that you are then able to make the best recipes in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
The articles below are some of the best recipes and ingredients that you should definitely try out the next time you play Tears of the Kingdom. These recipes will all range from dishes that can give you stat boosts to those that can instead improve your combat abilities.
Anti-Gloom Recipes
For those who go exploring underneath the Hyrule, inside the dark depths, which are opened to you once you wake Ganondorf, you’ll encounter gloom, which is one of the many dangers you’ll have to face here. It is important not to get too close because the toxic purple spill will corrupt your heart containers. If you do get too close and get corrupted, you won’t be able to heal the hearts until you either get back to the surface or go to the Lightroots that dot the underland. Exploring these depths is very dangerous for you to do because it is filled with gloom-filled enemies who don’t just deal damage to you but also corrupt your heart containers.
In order for you to counter the dangerous gloom, you have two different ways to do so and the first one is gloom resistance, which will basically slow the impact that gloom has on you and saves your hearts from actually being corrupted in the first place. The other option that you have is gloom healing, which will reverse the damage that gloom has on you so that you won’t have to go all the way back to the surface.
In order for you to acquire the gloom resistance, you’ll need to first get an ingredient that is called Dark Clump, which you can receive from trading ten poes with the bargainer statue located in Lookout Landing. Poes are basically small blue flames that you will be able to find in the depths under Hyrule. Once you have the Dark Clump you must then mix it with neutral foods and it’ll then create a meal that will slow the corrupting impact the walking in the gloom will have on you. Sadly, even if you have this it still won’t stop the gloom effect on you when you get hit by gloom-corrupted enemies.
Then on the other hand if you want to reverse the damage that gloom has on you, without having to get to a lightroot or return all the way to the surface, you’ll need to get an ingredient by the name of Sundelion. You’ll be able to find this ingredient located on a lot of the sky islands that are floating above Hyrule. When you manage to find these you’ll just need to mix it with neutral foods and it’ll make recipes that have the ability to restore your heart containers back to normal. However, even with this recipe you’ll still need to consume healing items if you want to regain your health back
Cold-Resistance Recipes
If you have played Breath of the Wild, then you may remember that cold weather is one of the most regular threats that you will have to face in Tears of the Kingdom and basically when you are in the snowbound region of Hyrule, you’ll see that your health will be sapped by the freezing winds. If you are relatively new to the game or don’t have some of the best armour equipped you’ll definitely want to have some recipes handy to help you and boost your characters resistance to the cold and as a result let you explore the colder parts of Hyrule more freely.
When it comes to staying warm in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom then it is pretty simple, all you will need to do is find some Spicy Peppers. You’ll be able to find these items all throughout the cold regions and you’ll usually be able to find them in bushels of three, which means that if you do come across them in the wild, you’ll have enough to make a batch of warming foods.
So, basically what you will need to do is combine the spicy peppers that you have found with a neutral ingredient like apples, meat or fish, in order to create foods that give you cold resistance. If you have these peppers you don’t even have to mix them with foods, instead you could cook them on their own to make sautéed peppers, which give you a warming boost.
Damage-Boosting Recipes
When you decide to start fighting the Zelda Tears of the Kingdom bosses, then you may quickly realise that you may need a performance boost in order to give you some help defeating them. You shouldn’t think that using a recipe to make you stronger is bad because in the end it is for the greater good as you are battling for the future of Hyrule.
Exploring around Hyrule is great because you can find a lot of ingredients for recipes that will increase the damage that your attacks deal. When you are looking for ingredients it is important to look out for the word “Mighty”, such as seen in the ingredients Mighty Banana and Mighty thistle. Although there are other reagents, such as the Bladed Rhino Beetles, that are able to give you an attack boost, the plants are a lot easier to come by.
You’ll be able to find Mighty Bananas and Mighty ThistlesOn the south coast of Hyrule, in the Faron region. These plants aren’t that easy to come by so it is definitely worth doing a farming session in order to get as much stock of these damage-boosting ingredients as possible.
When you find these Mighty ingredients, you’ll be able to combine them with neutral ingredients, like meat, fish and mushrooms, to create foods that have the ability to raise your attack damage against your enemies.
Stamina Recipes
If you are planning an adventure where you’ll be climbing a lot or doing anything strenuous then you’ll definitely want to make sure to stock up on stamina recovery as well as stamina bonus recipes. These quick fix edibles will give you an energy boost that you’d definitely want to take advantage of.
The stamina recovery recipes are pretty simple tools, all you will have to do is eat one when your stamina is low and it’ll refill with green and as a result will allow you to continue doing the strenuous work without a break. In order to make this stamina recovery recipe, you’ll need to combine a neutral ingredient with Courser Bee Honey, Staminoka Bass, Bright-Eyes Crab, Stamella Shroom or Stambulbs. The ones that you’ll be able to find the easiest are the Stamella Shrooms and Stambulbs. The mushrooms are located inside woods and caves all over Hyrule and you’ll be able to find the bulbs on all of the big sky islands.
Then on the other hand you have stamina bonus recipes, which instead increase the size of your stamina ring, which gives you more energy to use. If you want to make this recipes you’ll need to have Endura Carrot, which you’ll be able to find on the Satori Mountain, which is south of Hyrule Ridge, or a Endura Shroom instead, which you’ll find located on the North Tabantha Sky Archipelago. Just like what you’d do to make the stamina recovery recipe, you’ll have to combine these reagents with neutral ingredients to make these foods.
Defence-Boosting Recipes
If you are someone who is maybe a little bit slower than other gamers out there and struggle with dodging, then you may want to focus on reducing the amount of damage that you take. In order to do this you can wear armour and then upgrade it so that it increases your defence stats as much as you can, to take it a step further, in big fights you can also consume toughening foods to help you even more.
The most important ingredients that you’ll have to look out for are Armoranth, Ironshroom and Fortified Pumpkins, if you want to develop this thicker skin. You’ll be able to find Armoranth in the east and northeast areas of Hyrule, Ironshroom will be located throughout the southeast of Hyrule and the easiest place to get Fortified Pumpkins will be a patch in Kakariko Village.
Then just like with most other recipes, you’ll want to combine these reagents with a neutral ingredient in order to make the recipe that will bring out the defence-boosting stat.
Final Words
So, there you have some of the best and most helpful recipes, as well as how to make them, that’ll be able to help you out when you find yourself in a bit of a pickle.
