What to know
- Lesser Stamina Potions are crafted using basic overworld materials.
- Ingredients are found across beaches, rivers, and snowy mountains.
- Storm Thistles behave differently depending on how you harvest them.
- Crafting requires a potion station after gathering all components.
Lesser Stamina Potions are one of the first utility potions you’re likely to rely on in Hytale. They’re especially useful during exploration, climbing, and early combat when stamina management matters most.
Materials required for Lesser Stamina Potion & where to find them
To craft a Lesser Stamina Potion, you’ll need four core components. Each one comes from a different biome or interaction type. Besides this, you must have a Tier 2 Alchemist’s Workbench unlocked. Crafting this potion naturally pushes you to explore multiple regions. Expect to visit coastlines, river-adjacent plains, and snow-covered mountain peaks, making it a good introduction to biome-driven progression.
Empty potion bottles from sand in Zone 1
Sand is found on the ocean floor, usually just offshore. Once collected, it must be processed.
- Place sand into a Furnace
- Add fuel such as logs or charcoal
- Smelting sand produces Empty Potion Bottles

Sunflowers from grassy terrain in Zone 1
Sunflowers grow naturally:
- Near riverbeds
- In open grassy or mixed biomes
They’re easy to spot during the day. Walk up to the plant and press F to collect it.

Storm Thistles in snowy mountains in Zone 3
Storm Thistles grow in rocky mountain biomes with snow caps. They are much easier to locate:
- At night, when they stand out visually
- On elevated, cold terrain
Press F to pick them up if you only need the plant itself.

Storm petals from Storm Thistles and Storm Saplings
Storm Petals require a different interaction. In case you are finding Storm Petals in Tundra Zone 3, then you can get the Storm Petals from Storm Thistles:
- Find a Storm Thistle in a snow-capped area
- Do not pick it up normally
- Use a Hatchet and left-click the plant instead
In case you are hunting for Storm Petals in Howling Sands Zone 2, then you can get the Storm Petals from the Storm Saplings.
- Find a Storm Sapling
- Do not pick it up normally
- Use a Hatchet and left-click the plant instead

This action causes the plant to drop Storm Petals, which are required for the potion recipe.

How to craft a Lesser Stamina Potion
Once all ingredients are collected, you’re ready to craft. Smelt sand in a furnace using any basic fuel until you have enough bottles. Collect Sunflowers normally and Storm Thistles from snowy mountains. Harvest Storm Petals using a hatchet.

What does Lesser Stamina Potion do in Hytale
In Hytale, the Lesser Stamina Potion is a consumable potion that replenishes your stamina — the resource used for actions like sprinting and other stamina-draining activities.
- It restores a significant portion of your stamina when you drink it, letting you sprint, dodge, or perform stamina-based actions again without waiting for natural regeneration.
- There are two tiers of stamina potions: Lesser and Greater, with the Greater version restoring more stamina than the Lesser one.
