Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Gloom-Borne Illness Quest Walkthrough
The quest can be started by talking to Lasli, who can be found sitting outside her grandmother’s house in Kakariko Village. She will tell you that her grandmother is suffering from the Gloom, a mysterious disease that is spreading across Hyrule and draining the life force of people and plants. She will ask you to help her make a porridge that can cure the illness using some ingredients that she has heard of.
The porridge requires three ingredients: Hylian rice, fresh milk, and Sundelion. Hylian rice and fresh milk can be easily purchased from the General Store in Hateno Village, located northeast of Kakariko Village.
Sundelion, however, is a rare plant that can only be found in certain areas of Hyrule. It is a yellow flower that has the ability to resist the effects of Gloom and restore vitality. Sundelion is found in Hyrule Field, Eldin Canyon, or Sky Islands. You will need at least one Sundelion for the porridge.
Once you have gathered all the ingredients, you need to cook them on a stove. There is a stove near Lasli’s house that you can use. To cook the porridge, you need to select the ingredients from your inventory and hold them in your hands.
Then, you need to approach the stove and press A to place them on the pot. After a few seconds, the porridge will be ready, and you can take it from the pot.
As a reward for your kindness, Lasli will give you a Sunny Veggie Porridge, a dish that can restore some of your stamina when consumed. You will also complete the quest and earn some experience points.
