Efficient energy management is crucial in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Every action, from digging to fishing, depletes your energy reserves, hindering progress if you run dry. Replenishing energy quickly is essential, and thankfully, meals offer a simple and effective solution. The Lightning Bolt recipe stands out as one of the best for its significant energy restoration.
While the Lightning Bolt isn't the easiest meal to craft due to its somewhat elusive ingredients, this guide will provide a clear path to creating it.

Harvesting Lightning Spice
Lightning Spice is also located in the Mythopia biome. After catching your Stygian Mudskipper, keep an eye out for this ingredient scattered on the ground. Each harvest yields one Lightning Spice, and you'll need two for the recipe.

Once you've gathered all five ingredients, head to a cooking station. Remember you'll also need coal (easily mined in most biomes) to cook your meal.
