Cooking inBreath of the WildandTears of the Kingdomcan be overwhelming and confusing. You’ll have well over a dozen ingredients and monster parts to throw into a cooking pot to make meals and elixirs. Depending on what you use in cooking, the food may or may not have a special effect. One of these effects is Shock Resistance.
InTears of the Kingdom, Shock is when Link drops his weapon after being zapped by electricity. While you’ll want Shock Resistance when taking on electrifying monsters like Thunder Gleeoks, it’s also good to have when you’re farming Dragon Parts from Farosh. Listed below are several recipes that you can try for yourself.
Approximate Duration: Depends on Ingredients
Ingredients:
One of the easier and more “accessible” recipes for Shock Resistance is the Electro Simmered Fruit recipe. This is because you may make it with a Voltfruit and an Apple, the latter of which is extremely common inTears of the Kingdom.If you use x1 Golden Appleinstead of x1 Apple (or cook during a Blood Moon), you’ll get a “critical cook,” which adds more HP-recovery and duration to the meal. If you want toextendthe Shock Resistance, just add x4 Voltfruit instead of x1 Voltfruit.
Approximate Duration: 6:30
The Meat and Seafood Fry was a dish you could make on the Great Plateau inBreath of the Wildto get the Warm Doublet armor. It requires x1 Hylian Mushroom, x1 Raw Meat, and x1 Hylian Bass. If you swap out the Hylian Bassfor a Voltfin Trout, you’ll get a Shock Resistance effect added to the Meat and Seafood Fry. you may use one of each ingredient, but if you want a longer Shock Resistance effect, throw in another Voltfin Trout.
The best place to look for Voltfin Trout is at the Hebra Plunge and the Tama Pond, which are both east from Rito Village.
Approximate Duration: 7:50
The Electro Fruitcake recipe is more “premium” than the Electro Simmered Fruit and Electro Meat and Seafood Fry. You’ll need x1 Tabantha Wheat and x1 Cane Sugar. Tabantha Wheat can be obtained by cutting down the grassin the Tabantha and Hebra region, but you’re able to only buy Cane Sugar from stores (ex: Slippery Falcon in Rito Village). To make Electro Fruitcake, you’ll need x1 Voltfruit andanother type of fruit, such as an Apple or Wildberry.
Avoid using fruits that have different effects from the Voltfruit, such as a Mighty Banana. This will cause the effects to cancel out in the final meal.
Approximate Duration: 8:50
Electro Mushroom Omelette is another recipe that can be harder to cook if you don’t have the right ingredients. Fortunately, you’re able to find everything except the Goat Butter out in the wild. Zapshrooms grow in the Gerudo Region (search near Palu Wastelandand North Gerudo Ruins), Rock Salts can be mined from ore deposits, and Bird Eggs are commonly found in trees all around Hyrule. You’ll have to buy Goat Butter from stores, but unlike Cane Sugar, it’s a more common ingredient sold by merchants.
Approximate Duration: 9:10
Electro Egg Pudding is another dessert recipe, but if done right, it can grant Shock Resistance that lasts for 9:10 or more. Electric Safflinas will be the ingredient you may have a hard time finding. However, if you search thegiant bones (-4171, -3084, 0035) between Gerudo Town and the Lightning Temple, you can find Cool, Warm, andElectric Safflinas. Be careful of the enemies that patrol near the great skeleton. Wear a Monster Mask if youwant to avoid fighting them.
Fresh Milk can be obtained in Hateno Village. You can speak to someone at the Hateno Farm and trade x3 Acorns for x1 Milk.
Approximate Duration: 9:50
The Cream of Vegetable Soup recipe usually calls for Fresh Milk, Rock Salt, and one Herb/Vegetable of your choosing. You can swap out the regular Hylian Herbs for the Electric Safflinas. Stack up to three of the safflinas for a stronger effect. Remember that if you want to add two Electric Safflinas and one other Herb, you’ll need to add one thatdoesn’t have effects. So, for example, Electric Safflina anda Warm Safflina is a no-go.
Approximate Duration: 10:00
If you have some Goron Spice to spare, which is available in Goron City, you may cook it with Rock Salt and a Zapshroom to get Electro Fragrant Mushroom Saute. This recipe is usually 10 minutes “longer” than the previously-mentioned Electro Cream of Mushroom Soup if you decide to use x3 Zapshrooms as opposed to just one.
Approximate Duration: 10:30
Much like Apples, Hylian Tomatoes are a common ingredient in Central Hyrule.you’re able to find them near Riverside Stable. If you’ve unlocked the fields in Hateno Village, you can plant Hylian Tomatoes and get them there instead. For the Electro Tomato Seafood Soup, you’ll need to use a Voltfin Trout instead of a regular fish to get the Shock Resistance effect. Like with any other meal, the more Voltfin Trout, the longer the meal effect will last.
Duration: 11:50
Elixirs are good to use if you need a meal effect, but don’t need the hearts/HP-recovery that comes with food. You can make Elixirs by using critters and monster parts, but for this Electro Elixir, use x1 Gibdo Guts, and x4 Thunderwing Butterflies or x4 Electric Darners. If you’re in the Gerudo Region,you’ll find Gibdos roaming the desert. There’s even one along the path in the Underground Shelter that leads to the North Gerudo Ruins. Thunderwing Butterflies are obtainable from Thunderhead Isles, but you’ll find themduring thunderstormsin theFaron Region. If you’d prefer to use Electric Darners, then look in theWest Necludaduring a thunderstorm.
If you don’t have Gibdo Guts, feel free to use more-common monster parts such as Bokoblin Horns. However, the duration of the Electro Elixir may not be as long.
Duration: 30:00
Despite being classified as monster parts, Dragon Parts are considered a “seasoning” inTears of the KingdomandBreath of the Wild. This means you’ll want to cook them withfoodand not critters or monster parts. For this case, you’ll want aDragon Horn. Add one of these with x4 Zapshrooms to get a level 3 Shock Resistance meal effect that lasts30:00. It’s arguably the best Shock Resistance recipe you can make in-game. Unfortunately, Dragon Horns can be a hassle to farmthanks to the dragons' flight pathsand their 10-minute cooldown for item-farming. They’re also rare items that can be used to upgrade armor, so you’re better off upgrading whatever armor you want before farming them for Shock Resistant meals. You can get Dragon Horns byshooting an arrow at any of the dragons' horns.
