TotK Sneaky Recipes: Ingredients, Sneaky Elixir and More
Sneaky food and the Sneaky Elixir in Tears of the Kingdom: every ingredient that carries Stealth Up, how strong each is and the dishes using them.
What does Sneaky do?
Sneaky food makes you harder to notice. The elixir’s description: it silences your footfalls and lets you move about undetected by monsters and animals.
Which ingredients give Sneaky?
Six ingredients carry it. The strongest in the cooking data is a flower, Silent Princess (3), then Stealthfin Trout and Silent Shroom (2), and Sunset Firefly, Sneaky River Snail and Blue Nightshade (1). The game describes three levels.
- Effect

- Dish name prefix
- Sneaky

- Levels
- Lv1–Lv3
The game says“Grants a low-level stealth boost.”
The elixir's description“Grants a low-level stealth effect, which calms the nerves and silences footfalls. Allows you to move about undetected by monsters and animals.”

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.
Sneaky Elixir: Cook one or more of the critters above with one or more monster parts.
Dishes that ask for one of these ingredients by name
- 6 Seafood Skewer
- 58 Snail Chowder
- 174 Toasty Silent Shroom
- 187 Roasted Trout
- 194 Sneaky River Escargot
- 207 Frozen Trout
- 214 Frozen River Snail
Any other dish whose recipe takes an ingredient of the same type ("any mushroom", "any fish") also carries the effect when you use one of these.
What is the fewest ingredients for level 3 Sneaky?
No effect has a higher level 3 bar than Sneaky (a few share it): the game’s cooking parameters put level 2 at 6 points and level 3 at 9. That sounds expensive, but Silent Princess is worth 3, so three of them make exactly 9 — a level 3 Sneaky Fried Wild Greens from three ingredients. Five Silent Shrooms (10 points) also make level 3; three Silent Shrooms stop at level 2.
The elixir is the weak route here. The only Sneaky critter is the Sunset Firefly, worth 1 point, and an elixir holds at most four critters beside its monster part — 4 points, level 1. The ingredients alone never take a Sneaky Elixir past level 1, so for stealth missions cook a meal. Each Sneaky ingredient adds 2 minutes (Silent Princess 2:10), which makes a five-shroom skewer the long option and the three-flower dish the rare-ingredient option.
Where do you find Sneaky ingredients?
Silent Princess is the ingredient worth planning around. Counts are fixed placements in the game’s world data; area names follow the Skyview Tower areas.
| Ingredient | Where most are placed |
|---|---|
| Silent Princess | 119; about half in Akkala (60 around Ulri Mountain), then Hyrule Field (31) |
| Silent Shroom | 678; Ulri Mountain (157), Thyphlo Ruins in Great Hyrule Forest (130) and Upland Zorana (121) |
| Blue Nightshade | 244; Thyphlo Ruins (61) and Sahasra Slope (48) |
| Sunset Firefly | 312; Popla Foothills (126) |
| Sneaky River Snail | 38; 15 of them on sky islands |
| Stealthfin Trout | 5 fixed spots, all around Thyphlo Ruins |
Akkala covers the two best ingredients at once: Silent Princess and Silent Shroom both have their largest counts around Ulri Mountain. The Stealth set from Kakariko Village is the armor alternative.
