She will say that her grandmother’s illness is the reason why she charges such high prices. Sounds like pandemic profiteering and we don’t stand for that. We want to help her, so she needs her armor.

Claree tells you to find her sister Lasli — she’s just up the slope from the armor shop, sitting outside her grandmother’s house muttering to herself about porridge.

It seems that her grandmother only eats porridge. To make Sunny Veggie Porridge in Zelda: The Tears Of the KingdomYou need to:

• Hylian rice
• Fresh Milk
• ‘Wild greens’ (Sundelion)

Return to Lasli, and serve her porridge. Her gran is suspiciously much better after a single bite — something Claree comments on.

Lasli will give you a bowl of Energizing Veggie Porridge for your trouble, while Claree has the good grace to reverse her price hike and sell you her armor — the Steath armor set and Radiant Set — at a still costly but far more reasonable price of 1800 and 2400 rupees total respectively.
