Anyone who has already looked around the underground in the new Zelda Tears of the Kingdom or has had contact with the miasma (the red-black stuff) may ask themselves, why did the hearts break through at the top left in the middle? What do the broken hearts mean and why can Link no longer be completely healed? In this short guide we show what the “broken hearts” mean and how you can heal the miasma.
Heal broken hearts from miasma?
At the entrance to the underground and in the underground itself you can find the black-red miasma. There are also enemies who are afflicted with miasma and transfer this to Link when hit. When Link takes damage from the miasma, not only does it deduct life points in the form of hearts, but the hearts are also shown with a crack in the middle. The broken hearts cannot be healed and replenished with normal food, at least not until you heal the debuff from the miasma. The miasma can be cured as follows.
- Interact with an underground root.
- Travel back to the upper world
- Cook and eat dishes that heal miasma
Recipes and dishes against miasma debuff
There are several dishes with which you can cure the miasma and the most important ingredient here is the so-called sunspot. The wild plant is found primarily in the kingdom of heaven. The description says “a wild plant that grows in sunny places at high altitudes. Can be used as a cooking ingredient and replenish hearts if reduced by miasma.”
You then simply have to prepare the sunspot plant with other ingredients on a stove and can then use it to cure the miasma. It is important that the sun patch can only be used if you have made a dish out of it with other ingredients.
- Sol Steam Meat – 2x Wild, 3x Sunspot – Heals 4x Hearts, 9x Broken Hearts
