- 💧 Water + 🌊 Wave = 🌊 TsunamiTsunami is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- 🌊 Tsunami + 💨 Wind = 🌀 HurricaneIf you already made Hurricane in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- 💧 Water + 💧 Water = 🌊 LakeOne quick craft for Lake: drag Water onto Water and keep the result for the chain.
- 🌎 Earth + 🌊 Lake = 🐊 SwampSwamp is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
- 🌀 Hurricane + 🐊 Swamp = 🐊 AlligatorFinal craft: combine Hurricane and Swamp to make Alligator. That's the whole path — 6 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Alligator
We rank every known recipe for Alligator by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Hurricane and Swamp — cost 3 and 2 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 6 crafts. The alternatives in the table below are ranked the same way: their "approx. cost" is the pricier ingredient plus one, so you can see at a glance which route actually saves you crafts — and which ones quietly waste five.
