Best Farming Spots for Sundelions in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Sundelions are described in-game as “A wild plant that grows in the sun at high altitudes,” meaning players must head for the sky islands of Hyrule. While players will have luck finding Sundelions on the majority of the sky archipelagos — there are a few that have a higher number of Sundelions. Let’s go over the best sky locations to find Sundelions in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Sundelion Farming Location #1 – Sokkala Sky Archipelago

First, Sokkala Sky Archipelago is one of the best spots to farm for Sundelions. The last time I visited here, I was lucky enough to find around 6 Sundelions — more than enough to cook high gloom resistance recipes.

The fastest way to get here is to fast-travel to the Natak Shrine on the Sokkala Sky Archipelago. If you have yet to unlock the shrine, use the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower in the Akkala Highlands and paraglide south to the location shown in the image.

Sundelion Farming Location #2 – North Necluda Sky Archipelago

The next best spot to farm Sundelions is North Necluda Sky Archipelago. Players will be pleased to find around 5 Sundelions scattered across the platform at this location. The fastest way to reach this Archipelago is by fast-traveling to the Josiu Shrine on the platform’s western side. If you have yet to unlock this shrine, use the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower and fly east.

Sundelion Farming Location #3 – South Elden Sky Archipelago

Lastly, South Eldin Sky Archipelago is one of the best sky islands holding a handful of Sundelions. Being easily accessible by activating the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower — players will find more than enough Sundelions for their cooking needs. It’s even better that they are all close together, making it easy to grab quickly and head out. The last time I went farming here, I got 7 Sundelions!
