Then you’ll need to learn how to make elixirs in BOTW.
If you’re in bad environmental conditions or are facing a tough fight, elixirs might save you.
Use these elixirs in Breath of the Wild running on both the Switch and Wii U.
Get animal parts from catching or buying animals like butterflies, crickets, and frogs.
Get monster parts by picking them up after killing monsters.
Every elixir in Breath of the Wild has two critical attributes: effect and duration.
The effects of some elixirs in BOTW are all or nothing: they work.
Create elixirs by throwing the ingredients into cooking pots, the same way you cook food.
When you’ve made an elixir, you take it the same way you eat meals.
