TotK Energizing Recipes: Ingredients and Energizing Elixir
Energizing food and the Energizing Elixir in Tears of the Kingdom: every ingredient that carries Stamina Recovery, how strong each is and the dishes using them.
What does Energizing do?
Energizing food refills part of your stamina wheel at once. The elixir’s description points out when that matters: stamina is spent climbing walls and swimming, and an Energizing dish lets you top up without letting go.
Which ingredients give Energizing?
Seven ingredients carry it. Energetic Rhino Beetle is by far the strongest in the cooking data (6), then Staminoka Bass (4); Courser Bee Honey and Bright-Eyed Crab give 2, and the common Restless Cricket, Stamella Shroom and Stambulb 1 each.

¹ The number the game's cooking data gives each ingredient for this effect: higher is stronger, and a pot adds them up. Levels follow set thresholds on the total; the “easiest way” section below lists the combinations that reach them.
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.
Energizing Elixir: Cook one or more of the critters above with one or more monster parts.

What is the easiest way to max out Energizing?
Energizing is instant — no duration, no levels — but it has a ceiling: the cooking parameters cap it at 15 points. That makes it cheap to max out once you have the right ingredient:
| Pot | Points |
|---|---|
| Staminoka Bass ×4 | 16 (at the cap) |
| Energetic Rhino Beetle ×3 + monster part (elixir) | 18 (at the cap) |
| Energetic Rhino Beetle ×2 + Restless Cricket ×2 + monster part | 14 |
| Courser Bee Honey ×5 (Honey Candy) | 10 |
| Stamella Shroom ×5 | 5 |
Four Staminoka Bass already pass 15, so a fifth slot is free for hearts. The beetle and the bass, the two strongest Energizing ingredients, cannot go in the same pot: the beetle is a critter, and a critter without a monster part turns the dish into Dubious Food. Pick one route — fish for a meal that also heals, beetles for an elixir. The common ingredients show how much the top two matter: five Stamella Shrooms reach only a third of the cap.
Where do you find Energizing ingredients?
The cheap ingredients are everywhere; the strong ones are not. Counts are fixed placements in the game’s world data; area names follow the Skyview Tower areas.
| Ingredient | Where most are placed |
|---|---|
| Stamella Shroom | 551; Upland Zorana (178) |
| Stambulb | 314; 199 on sky islands |
| Restless Cricket | 150; sky islands (51), Lookout Landing (42), Mount Lanayru (37) |
| Staminoka Bass | 81 fixed spots; Sahasra Slope (24), Popla Foothills (12) |
| Bright-Eyed Crab | 66; Upland Zorana (41), plus 14 in caves such as Tabahl Woods Cave |
| Courser Bee Honey | 59 hives; Hyrule Field (26) and Necluda (21) |
| Energetic Rhino Beetle | 20 fixed spots; Necluda (9) and sky islands (6) |
The item text says the Energetic Rhino Beetle can live up to ten years, and with only 20 fixed placements it is the one to save for emergencies. For everyday climbing, Upland Zorana covers both Stamella Shrooms and crabs in one visit.
