Required Tools
You need a special pot to cook Hearty Mussel Soup, such as the Cooking Pot for your house. The Cooking Griddle also cooks it, along with every other dish in the game.
Stats and Effect Analysis
Refilling your Breath is less useful than it sounds. Diving gear gives you many minutes of air, and you can catch air bubbles almost everywhere underwater.
It’s the strongest version of the dish, but it needs far more ingredients than the base Mussel Soup. Save it for moments when you need a lot of Health from one meal, and cook the base version for everyday use.
Hearty Mussel Soup came with update 2.04 as part of the Charting the Unknown DLC. You can’t get it without owning the DLC.
