Gloom-Borne Illness is a Side Quest in Tears of the Kingdom.
Overview
As Link approaches, Lasli sits outside their house, unable to go and study under Cece in Hateno Village, talking to herself.[1] Upon speaking to her, she details events of her Nanna having an encounter with gloom[2][3] from the East Hill Chasm while cleaning up the East Hill near Kakariko Village and she has been confined to her bed by the after-effects.
With her Nanna unable to eat anything except Veggie Porridge,[4][5] she spends her time trying to mix something into the porridge that would help with Nanna's gloom sickness.
Her other granddaughter Claree is also struggling with the results. She is "drifting off" while standing in their clothing shop,[6] Enchanted, and has "hike up the prices" on the Stealth Set and Radiant Set to 5000 rupees per piece in an attempt to make money for Nanna's treatment.[7]
When Link returns to Lasli, she is at her wits end about her Nanna's declining health.[8] As Link approaches she is immediately interested,[9] if Link gives it to her, she takes it straight to Nanna[10] , who quickly recovers and thanks Lasli[11][12] and Link.[13]
Claree approaches and notices Nanna is up out of bed.[14][15] Everyone is overjoyed at the news,[16] It also means Lasli can go to Hateno with a clear conscience,[17][18][19][20][21][22] and Claree can reset the prices to normal in Enchanted[23] . Lastly, Lasli gives Link one of her "failed" experiments - a bowl of Energizing Veggie Porridge - as thanks.[24]

- ↑ "Are you a traveler? I guess it doesn't really matter who you are, so long as you're willing to listen. You see, it's my grandmother...She got too close to that nasty gloom stuff, and now she's sick and bedridden.", Lasli
- ↑ "I don't really know anything about it myself, other than what it does to you when you touch it. My grand mother was cleaning up East Hill for the survey team when she first noticed the chasm... We know now that the chasm's a source of gloom, but she had no idea. When she tried to take a look, she got exposed. But there's got to be an ingredient that counteracts gloom sickness somewhere out there...right?", Lasli
- ↑ "Porridge is about the only thing she can keep down right now too. I've been trying to mix in ingredients that could help with gloom sickness...But none of them have had any effect. I need to cook a porridge that will make my grandmother better and I need to do it soon.", Lasli
- ↑ "It's my grandmother's favorite, made of Hylian rice, fresh milk, and wild greens. You might not normally think to mix those ingredients, but it's surprisingly good. I bought a bunch of Hylian rice and milk from the merchants who travel the road to the west, so I'm not hurting for those. But I still haven't found that crucial ingredient that fights off gloom sickness...", Lasli
- ↑ "...Huh? Oh, uh...Welcome. Sorry, I must have drifted off. I'm just so tired lately. *sigh* Look, I now it won't help to talk about it, but I'm gonna do it anyway. My grandmother's really sick I'm running the shop while my little sister, Lasli, is looking after her. We're sort of getting by...But we're both so exhausted.", Claree
- ↑ "I'm sorry about this but we really need money for Grandmother's treatment. I've had to hike up the prices on everything we have in stock. It's just for now though. As soon as Grandmother is healthy again, I can set our prices back to normal. Ugh, I know I shouldn't bring my home situation into the shop with me...", Claree
- ↑ "She's just getting worse and worse...I need to hurry and make her a porridge that will help with her gloom sickness...", Lasli
- ↑ "Huh? What is that gentle aroma? Is that porridge I smell? Could it be? Did you make a porridge that could help with gloom sickness?!", Lasli
- ↑ "Wh-what did you say this was, again? A sunny veggie porridge? I've never made anything "sunny" before. Maybe this will help my grandmother! Well, Grandmother? How is it?", Lasli
- ↑ "Thank you, Lasli. That was the first meal I've been able to finish in quite a while.", Nanna
- ↑ "Grandmother, your complexion! The color's coming back to your cheeks! Hey, look! Are you seeing this?! A few bites of your sunny veggie porridge, and it's like she was never even sick!", Lasli
- ↑ "So you were the one who made that porridge for me. Such a gentle flavor. It didn't just nourish my body but my spirit too. Thanks to you and my granddaughter, it seems I'll be around for a long time yet. I'm so grateful to the both of you.", Nanna
- ↑ "Grandmother?! What are you doing up?!", Claree
- ↑ "Oh, Claree. I'm so sorry I worried you. But this nice young man made me a wonderful sunny veggie porridge, so I'm feeling much better now.", Nanna
- ↑ "Hold on. You're doing this much better....after one bowl of porridge?! I guess I knew that was Lasli's plan, but I'm still amazed it actually worked.", Claree
- ↑ "Now that I'm feeling better, you should hurry and prepare for your journey, Lasli.", Nanna
- ↑ "Huh? You knew?", Lasli
- ↑ "You can't get anything by her, Lasli. Besides, everyone knows studying fashion in Hateno Village is your dream! Grandmother and I can take care of Enchanted by ourselves—trust me. You deserve this.", Claree
- ↑ "Claree...are you sure you don't want to go study with her?", Nanna
- ↑ "Well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't...But there's something else I want more. I want to make Enchanted a success, right here in my beloved Kakariko Village, right next to my beloved grandmother. And...I dream of someday filling our store wall to wall with outfits you deisgned, Lasli! So don't worry about me. Go study hard in Hateno Village, and come back to us a fashion icon!", Claree
- ↑ "You mean it?! Thank you, Claree. And thank YOU, Grandmother!", Lasli
- ↑ "Well, now that Grandmother's all better, I think it's time I head back to the shop. I've got to make sure our prices are back to normal and everything's ready for our customers. You should come by Enchanted, yourself!", Claree
- ↑ "Thank you so much for your help. I made a lot of porridge trying to find a cure for my grandmother. We won't be able to eat it all ourselves. I think it turned out pretty tasty though, so I'd love to give you some to take on your journey. I'm going to work hard for my big sister. Just watch, I'll be a fashion designer who changes the world.", Lasli
