Whipping up an elixir or two whenever possible in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can help players prep for the most daunting challenges ahead. And in other cases, elixirs are just a means to explore vaster and climate-controlled spaces more effectively.
Players can craft these potions by mixing monster parts with other creatures and items, earning brews that could temporarily increase Link's health, stamina, elemental resistance, and more.
Below we'll take you through how to make an elixir in Tears of the Kingdom and list all the recipes you'll need during your adventure across Hyrule.
How to make an elixir in 'TotK' explained:
Making an elixir is a simple process in Tears of the Kingdom, made in a way similar to cooking. In front of a cooking pot, you can throw in a mixture of insect and monster parts to begin concocting an elixir.
The challenge is knowing which ingredients to throw inside the cooking pot together. All elixirs demand parts that could be hard to get your hands on immediately or items acquired quickly enough over Hyrule and the sky islands.
