Best Sundelion Recipes in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK)

While exploring the Depths in TotK, you’ll likely encounter gloom damage, which can only be cured in the field by consuming a meal containing a Sundelion. So let’s look at some of the best Sundelion recipes in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to cure you of this annoying malaise.

Best Sundelion Recipes in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK)

Sundelion is a wild flower that grows in the sun at high altitudes, so it can be found on most of the islands on the Sky map. It is important to know that Sundelion by itself does not replenish health, but only removes the broken status on heart containers that are under the gloom effect. However, other regular foods that you mix in with the Sundelion can do the healing part.

Once you’re done flower-picking on the Sky Islands, you can use Sundelion flowers to make some of the following dishes for some Gloom Recovery super-food:

• Cheesy Omelette: Sundelion or Mushroom x 1, Haleno Cheese x 1, Bird Egg x 1, Rock Salt x 1.
• Cheesy Risotto: Sundelion or Fish or Mushroom x 1, Haleno Cheese x 1, Hylian Rice x 1, Rock Salt x 1.

Gloom-borne Illness Quest: Sunny Veggie Porridge

If you’ve been to Kakariko Village, you may have picked up the Gloom-borne Illness quest while talking to the proprietress, Claree, in the Enchanted armor shop. Claree has raised prices through the roof thanks to her grandmother’s illness, and if you talk to her about it, she’ll send you to her sister Lasli nearby.

Lasli says porridge is the only thing her sick grandmother will eat, and she’ll give you a list of ingredients to make it. But what you really want is a special Sunny Veggie Porridge, which is really just porridge with a Sundelion thrown in.

To make Sunny Veggie Porridge, cook the following ingredients together in a pot:

• Fresh Milk
• Hylian Rice
• Wild Greens / Any Herbs
• Sundelion

Once you have your Sunny Veggie Porridge, have Lasli try it, and she’ll feed it to her ailing grandmother, Nanna, which will instantly revitalize her. And with Nanna fully recovered, Claree will significantly drop all of the prices in her shop.
