Anyone who has recently plunged into the new Zelda adventure and looked around the underground a little will have become acquainted with the miasma relatively quickly. If Link walks into the black and red matter, not only will he take damage, but the hearts will also appear at the top left of the screen with a crack in the middle. If you then try to heal yourself from the miasma, only the message “Damage suffered by miasma will not be healed” appears. Eat anyway?”. In addition to the question of how to cure the miasma, some players may also ask themselves the question of miasma protection.
Heal Miasma in Zelda TotK
There are several ways by which the broken hearts from the miasma can be restored and healed.
- Place under an underground root: Using the underground roots you can not only reveal the map underground, but also heal the miasma. To do this, simply place it under the root and the hearts will gradually be restored.
- Travel to the Overworld: As long as you remain underground, hearts destroyed by miasma will not be restored. However, if you travel to the overworld, the hearts will automatically be restored over time without you having to do anything.
- Cooking dishes that cure the miasma: There are various dishes that not only restore the normal hearts but also cure the miasma debuff. This includes, for example, the Sol steam meat, which can be prepared from 2x game meat and 3x sunspots.
Create miasma protection
As with other debuffs, there is protection against miasma in the form of dishes and medicine. All you need are the so-called dark lumps, which you can exchange for will-o’-the-wisps at one of the magician statues. A statue can be found directly in the starting area at the scout post in Joshua’s house. For 10 will-o’-the-wisps you get a lump of darkness, which you can then prepare at the nearest cooking place to provide miasma protection.

Miasma armor for protection
In Zelda Tears of the Kingdom you can find and unlock numerous pieces of armor as the story progresses. There is, among other things, the darkness armor with which Link automatically receives miasma protection. In order to unlock the darkness armor, you have to find the mage statues where you hand in the will-o’-the-wisps. If you want to look at the locations of the brothers that you have to find for the miasma protection armor in the form of the darkness set, we recommend the linked video guide.
