TotK Mighty Recipes: Ingredients, Mighty Elixir and More
Mighty food and the Mighty Elixir in Tears of the Kingdom: every ingredient that carries Attack Up, how strong each is and the dishes using them.
What does Mighty do?
Mighty food raises your attack power. The game’s elixir text says it boosts your attack power with all weapons, not one kind.
Which ingredients give Mighty?
Seven ingredients carry it. Mighty Porgy is the strongest in the cooking data (3); Mighty Carp, Mighty Bananas, Razorclaw Crab and Razorshroom give 2; Bladed Rhino Beetle and Mighty Thistle 1. The game describes three levels.

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

What is the cheapest level 3 Mighty dish?
The game’s cooking parameters put Mighty level 2 at 5 points and level 3 at 7. Three ingredients reach level 3 only with Mighty Porgy (3 points each) in the pot: one porgy plus two 2-point ingredients is exactly 7, and three porgy reach 9. With 2-point ingredients alone it takes four: four Mighty Bananas, four Razorshrooms, or any mix of Mighty Carp, Razorclaw Crab, bananas and Razorshrooms that adds up to 7.
Watch the fifth slot. Three bananas plus a piece of Raw Meat for hearts is only 6 points — level 2. Add a fourth banana instead and the meat can take the fifth slot. And skip the elixir: the only Mighty critter, Bladed Rhino Beetle, is worth 1, so four of them and a monster part make 4 points, a level 1 Mighty Elixir at best.
Mighty is short-lived — each ingredient adds just 50 seconds, so three porgy last 2 minutes 30 seconds and four bananas 3 minutes 20 seconds. Eat it when the fight starts, not on the way there. An incredible success can raise the level by one, but the ingredients that guarantee one (Star Fragment, dragon parts, Golden Apple) take a slot of their own.
Where do you find Mighty ingredients?
Necluda is the Mighty larder: bananas, thistles, beetles and porgy all peak there. Counts are fixed placements in the game’s world data; area names follow the Skyview Tower areas.
| Ingredient | Where most are placed |
|---|---|
| Mighty Bananas | 418; Popla Foothills (178) and Rabella Wetlands (95), plus 55 in the Depths |
| Razorshroom | 236; Thyphlo Ruins in Great Hyrule Forest (102) and Lindor’s Brow (60) |
| Mighty Thistle | 137; Popla Foothills (86) |
| Mighty Porgy | 135 fixed spots, 120 of them around Rabella Wetlands |
| Mighty Carp | 50; Upland Zorana (35) |
| Razorclaw Crab | 24; Mount Lanayru (12) |
| Bladed Rhino Beetle | 31; Popla Foothills (15) |
Fish also turn up outside their fixed spots, so treat the porgy count as where to start looking. The Barbarian set gives attack up without eating.
