Breath of the Wild - Fireproof Elixir
Effect Flame Guard

How does Flame Guard Work

Drinking a Fireproof Elixir will make you immune to burning. This is needed to travel around Eldin Mountain, but can also protect you from attacks.

Base Fireproof Elixir Recipe

To make a base Fireproof Elixir, you need a Monster Part and a Creature (just one) with the Flame Guard effect.

How to Increase Elixir Duration

To increase the Duration of a potion, you need to add more Monster Parts to the mix. Especially Dragon parts give large bonuses, so they are the recommended materials for increasing elixir duration!

How to Get Fireproof Elixirs

How to Make Fireproof Elixir

Breath of the Wild - Get Materials

The easiest way to come by Elixirs, by far, is to make them yourself. As you journey through Hyrule, you will no doubt gather large amounts of Monster Drops and Items, so use these to craft the potions you need.

How to Make Elixirs

Trade Beetles with Beedle

Breath of the Wild - Get Materials
Beedle will trade Elixirs in return for any beetles you're carrying, but the potion you get is random. He will tell you what he's willing to trade for, so you can always turn him down and try again, or find him somewhere else until he offers a Fireproof Elixir.

Buy Fireproof Elixir from Shop

As the only Elixir in the game, Fireproof Elixirs can be bought from shops!
