Overview
Earlier quality summary; ingredient amounts are specified separately below: Hearty Fishball Soup is the Hearty (highest quality) tier of Fishball Soup, a recovery item in Crimson Desert. Hearty provisions use recipe-specific ingredient amounts. Earlier notes called these the maximum stats for their recipe category.
Earlier effect and performance comparison; any matched corrections are stated below: Hearty Fishball Soup is the single most powerful healing item in Crimson Desert. At +700 HP, nothing else comes close to its raw health restoration. Combined with Ice Resistance Lv 4 for a full minute, it is the definitive food for late-game boss fights in ice-heavy regions. The five-ingredient recipe is expensive (16 Lentils, 4 Onions, 12 Fish Fillets, Salt, and Water), but the result is unmatched burst healing. Save these for the most demanding encounters in Chapter 7 and beyond.

The recorded Hearty Fishball Soup recipe uses 12 Fish Fillet; 1 Salt; 3 Water; 16 of a listed Grain option: Lentils, Peas, Beans, Barley, Wheat; 4 of a listed Vegetable option: Onion, Flax, Cucumber, Turnip, Beet. These are named recipe choices; they do not establish that every unlisted ingredient is excluded or that mixing choices is supported. Its learned-recipe entry is Recipe: Fishball Soup. The cooking guide also documents Improvise before discovering a recipe, so this entry is not a universal discovery gate. Ingredient amounts are recipe-specific rather than a universal tenfold increase. For example, base Battered Fish uses 2 Fillets, 1 Egg and 3 Oil, while its Hearty version uses 16, 8 and 3; the oil quantity does not increase tenfold. Earlier quality rankings, remaining restoration and resistance estimates, gathering routes, control presets and cooking-menu categories on this page remain unverified.
Lentils (or any grain) can be purchased from merchants or farmed. Onions can be grown at the Greymane Camp or purchased. Fish Fillets are obtained by cleaning fish. Salt is purchased from merchants. Water is collected from rivers, lakes, and wells.
How to Cook
Earlier cooking-menu instructions and quantity recommendation: Hearty Fishball Soup is a Field Pot recipe. Find a cooking station with a pot (campfire or town cooking area), open the Cook menu, navigate to the pot recipes section, and select the recipe. You need all listed ingredients in your inventory before cooking. The Hearty tier requires the maximum ingredient quantities, so make sure to stock up ahead of time.
Earlier tips
At +700 HP, this is the strongest single-use healing item in the entire game.
Reserve Hearty Fishball Soup for the hardest boss fights. Use cheaper recovery items for routine exploration.
The Ice Resistance Lv 4 buff stacks well with ice-resistant armor for maximum cold protection.
Buy Lentils and Salt in bulk from merchants to reduce farming time.
If you need Fire Resistance instead of Ice, switch to Hearty Marinated Meat or Hearty Braised Ribs.
