The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom tosses you back into Hyrule, but there are now more layers. In addition t♏o the surface of the kingdom, you can now head up to sky islands, as well as down into the Depths. Here, you will be surrounded by darkness and, on occasion, Gloom.
Gloom damage will not only reduce your current hearts, but it will temporarily remove them. Thankfully, Gloom damage can be restored with the . Here, we are going to take a look at where you can find Sundelions,♔ in order to cook them into dishes that restore Gloom damage.
Updated September 21, 2023 by Jacqueline Zalace: Sundelions are an important material in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, especially if you are trying to take on a Gloom-ridden enemy. We've added specific farming locations for this bright flower, allowing you to quickly gather the material and get to crafting.
Sundelions On The Surface Of Hyrule
While not the most prevalent here, you can find Sundelions on the surface of Hyrule. Based on the Hyrule Compendium, it's noted that the flower can be found in Hyrule Field and the Eldin Canyon. These are large areas, but more often than not, Sundelions appear on or around fallen ruins.
To efficiently farm for Sundelions, your best bet is to ta🍷ke to the skies.
Sundelions On Sky Islands
Sundelions are the most common on sky islands. Here, you will be able to find Sundelions in abundance. We suggest heading to any sky island and exploring; you are bound to find Sundelions in a sunny spot, such as the edge of a ruin.
Once harvested, Sundelions will take a few days to respawn. If you are looking to continuously farm from the same spot, we suggest having a farming 'route'. With this, you can visit multip🌼le sky islands and gather Sundelions.
By the time you loop back to the initial island you visited, the Sundelion may already have respawned. To speed up the re♉spawn pro𝐆cess, be sure to sleep (or crouch near a campfire) at night.
Be sure to revisit Sundelion locations after a Blood Moon, as they seem to respawn during this event.
Sundelion Farming Locations
The Forgotten Temple
The Forgotten Temple is located within Tanagar Canyon and is important for the questline involving Impa. The temple itself is quite linear, with a final chamber where you can find Impa. Near the end of the temple, you will be able to find several Sundelions growing among the ruins.
South Eldin Sky Archipelago
Another great location for Sundelion farming is the South Eldin Sky Archipelago. This is located west of the Water Temple, and is made up of several islands. You can also find Kadaunar Shrine herꦆe, allowing you to telepꦏort quickly and gather Sundelions.
North Necluda Sky Archipelago
The North Necluda Sky Archipelago is located to the east of the Great Sky Island, and serves as another place to farm Sundelions. Josiu Shrine is also found here, so you can quickly fast travel🤪 and include this in your farming route.
Yiga Clan Drop
While not technically a location, you have a chance to get a Sundelion after defeating a Yiga Clan member. Whether you are taking on the Yiga Clan, or are ambushed while exploring Hyrule, be on the lookout for Sundelion drops. This is a great way to passively get more of the material while you are traveling between other locations.
Using The Sensor+ To Farm Sundelions
One of the best ways to find Sundelions in the world is by using the Sensor+. By helping Robbie at the Hateno Village Researcಌh Lab, you can unlock the Sensor, which hel🥂ps you locate shrines.
You will be able to upgrade this into the Sensor+, which will then allow you to locate other objects. With this upgraded sensor, you can target items in your Compendium; this means that if you have taken a picture of just one Sundelion, you can set up a sensor to beep when you are near other ones.
If you are farming Sundelions, we suggest turning this on so you won't miss any hidden flowers.
How To Use Sundelions
To utilize the Gloom-healing effects of the Sundelion, you will first need to cook them. This is simple; use either a cooking pot or a Zonai pot to cook some ingredients together with a Sundelion.
The result will be a dish that replenishes hearts and heals your Gloom damage. If you are in a pinch for ingredients, you can also cook the Sundelions alone, with no other food items.
Be sure to not add too many foods with effects to a dish, or the Sundelion won't hav🐻e any effect. When in doubt, just mix the Sundel𒆙ion with some meat to make a nice and hearty dish.
