TotK Gloom-Borne Illness: Sunny Veggie Porridge and Prices

Nanna, who runs the Kakariko Village clothing shop Enchanted, has fallen ill. While cleaning up East Hill for the survey team she got too close to the chasm and touched the gloom, and she has been bedridden since. Her granddaughter Lasli sits at the cooking pot outside, trying porridge after porridge in search of something that works on gloom sickness. That is the side quest Gloom-Borne Illness. Every side quest is on all side quests.

Why do this quest early?

While their grandmother is sick, Lasli’s older sister Claree runs the shop alone and has raised every price to pay for her care: “I’ve had to hike up the prices on everything we have in stock. It’s just for now though. As soon as Grandmother is healthy again, I can set our prices back to normal.”

That is why the Stealth Set costs 5,000 rupees a piece before the quest and only 500, 700 and 600 after. If you want the Stealth Set, finish this quest first.

How do you complete Gloom-Borne Illness?

1. Find Lasli. She is in the small shelter outside her home on the east side of Kakariko Village, worrying over the pot. Ask “What’s wrong?” and she explains that her grandmother fell sick after touching gloom and can only eat porridge. Ask “Porridge?” and she describes it: “It’s my grandmother’s favorite, made of Hylian rice, fresh milk, and wild greens.” She buys the rice and milk from merchants on the road to the west.
2. Gather the ingredients. Ordinary greens will not cure gloom sickness; use a Sundelion instead. One Hylian rice, one fresh milk and one Sundelion.
3. Cook. Lasli’s pot works. Put all three in to make Sunny Veggie Porridge. The “Sunny” effect “Restores hearts damaged by gloom.”
4. Hand it over. Talk to Lasli with the porridge and she smells it: “Could it be? Did you make a porridge that could help with gloom sickness?!” Choose “Give it a try.” to give it to her.

What happens after you deliver the porridge?

Nanna’s color comes back at once, and she says it is the first meal she has been able to finish in a long while. Claree arrives, and the family sends Lasli off to chase her dream: she has always wanted to study fashion in Hateno Village, and now she can go while Claree and Nanna keep Enchanted running.

Before heading back to the shop, Claree remembers that you bought clothes at the inflated price and offers to “refund you the difference between the markup and the proper price.” So even if you already paid 5,000 for a Stealth piece, you lose nothing.

Lasli gives you some of the porridges she made while experimenting, including Energizing Veggie Porridge.
