How our guides work
Each guide below takes you from the four starting elements, Water, Fire, Wind and Earth, to one popular element along the shortest verified path we know. The steps are in order, and each one uses only the four basics or something you made in an earlier step, so you never need an element you don't have yet.
Every step was tested against this game in October 2026. Because the same two elements always give the same result here, the steps should work for you exactly as written.
How to follow a guide
- Open the guide for the element you want and start at step 1.
- For each step, drag the two named elements onto the board and drop one onto the other.
- Everything you make is added to your list, so if a later step needs an earlier result again, drag a fresh copy from the list. In the Pikachu guide, for example, the Dust from step 1 is used again in steps 2 and 6.
- If your list gets long, use the search box to find the next ingredient quickly.
- Use exactly the elements named. Lake and Ocean are different elements, and so are Dust and Sand.
- If a step gives you something different, make sure both elements match the guide exactly, then let us know so we can check it.
How we chose these elements
We picked elements that players commonly look for: classic goals like Human, Life and Time; creatures from myths such as Dragon, Unicorn and Phoenix; everyday things like Pizza, Coffee and Rain; and characters and games such as Pikachu, Mario and Minecraft. Then we kept every one we could reach with a verified path. The shortest guides, such as Planet, Ocean and Tree, take two combinations. The longest, Halloween, takes eleven.
Can't find the element you want?
If it isn't in the list below, try our recipe explorer. It covers about 196,000 elements and 3.4 million known recipes, and it shows both how to make an element and what it combines into. For one-step combinations with the core elements, see the combinations chart.
The step-by-step guides are written in English, and the element names match the English version of the game.
