Heat in Witchspire shows up as an environmental challenge while you’re traveling through the Glimmering Dunes in the Shuddersands area. The sun can get intensely hot, and your condition may take a hit quickly if you’re not paying attention. The good news is that you can use several tactics to protect yourself from Heat, so you can keep pushing forward with your journey.
In the sections below, I’ll walk you through different ways to stay protected from Heat in Witchspire.
How to shield yourself from Heat in Witchspire
There are three ways to deal with Heat in Witchspire. One method involves making and drinking Lotus Brews, while the other two come down to finding cover in shaded areas. I’ve broken down each approach below.
1. Consume Lotus Brews
By crafting Lotus Brews, you can boost your Heat protection in Witchspire. That said, they don’t provide a flawless guarantee of complete Heat immunity. Even so, they do help reduce how much damage Heat causes overall.
To get started, you’ll need to reach Hearth Level 7. After you hit that point, you can unlock the Lotus Brew recipe from the left side of the Luminary.
Once that’s done, head to a Cauldron and combine 1x Lesser Vial with 2x Lotus Shards to produce one Lotus Brew.
If you find yourself short on Lotus Shards, you’ll want to visit the Lotus Dungeon in the Shimmersands region. Below is an image showing its entrance, along with a marker on the map. Inside, you’ll be able to collect plenty of Lotus Shards—and thankfully, there are no enemies to deal with.
2. Look for shaded areas
A dependable way to dodge Heat is to keep an eye out for shade behind rocks as you move. Still, that approach can get tricky when you have to cross long, open stretches across the Glimmering Dunes.
If you go with this plan, I recommend staying near the ground. That way, one) it’s easier to spot shade quickly, and two) you can dismount your Broom and drink Lotus Brews right away—without risking a fatal fall (or suffering Heat damage while you descend).
3. Move around at night
Possibly the best way to avoid Heat—especially when paired with Lotus Brews—is to simply travel during nighttime in Witchspire. At night, the sun isn’t there, so the Heat won’t hit you as intensely. Of course, it does mean waiting for the right time to arrive.
Even so, combining all three methods mentioned earlier for Heat protection gives you more than enough support to complete the Main Quests in the region and explore at your own pace.
