What does Chilly do?

Chilly food protects you from heat, not from fire. The elixir’s description calls it crucial for long journeys through the desert; for burning heat, see Fireproof.

Which ingredients give Chilly?

Six ingredients carry it, one of each kind: Chillfin Trout is the strongest in the cooking data (3), then Cold Darner and Chillshroom (2), and Winterwing Butterfly, Hydromelon and Cool Safflina (1). The game describes only two levels.

¹ The number the game's cooking data gives each ingredient for this effect: higher is stronger, and a pot adds them up. How the total turns into a level or a duration is not published, so we don't convert it.

² How many times the game's world data places the ingredient at a fixed spot, and the three areas with the most (a region is the one of the nearest shrine). Ingredients from animals, monsters, ore deposits, shops or random spawns are not counted, and those listed can also turn up elsewhere.

Chilly Elixir: Cook one or more of the critters above with one or more monster parts.

FAQ

Which ingredients give Chilly?
Chillfin Trout, Cold Darner, Chillshroom, Winterwing Butterfly, Hydromelon and Cool Safflina — strongest first, by the game's cooking data.
Is Chilly the same as Fireproof?
No. Chilly is heat resistance (the game's example is a desert journey); Fireproof keeps your body from catching fire, and only an elixir can carry it.
