Breath of the Wild Recipes: Difference between revisions

Cooking meals or elixirs from certain ingredients will also bring out the effects of special items, if any of those ingredients, such as heat or cold resistance and the strength of the effect is increased if more of the same item with a special property are used. Two different effects cannot stack, meaning only one effect may be active at a time. Frozen proteins also offer temporary heat resistance.

When cooking elixirs, bugs will influence effect-strength while monster parts influence effect duration. The rarest monster parts, such as guts, tails and cores, provide the best duration buffs; while the lowest; horns, tentacles, non-elemental keese wings  and  non-elemental chuchu jelly provide the most minimum buffs for duration. Adding an [[Acorn]], [[Apple]] or [[Chickaloo Tree Nut]] to an elixir will add minor healing properties the elixir would not otherwise have. Like recipes and bonus hearts, produced elixirs may randomly end up with bonus effects to potency or duration. Dragon parts will also provide the same expected bonuses for duration, with dragon horns providing the highest at a 30 minute buff increase. Some elixir times may appear to be skewed in terms of effect vs duration but they tend to even out with high-tier monster parts as the bulk.
