How to make 🎈 Balloon — step by step
The cheapest known path. Craft each step in order — every ingredient is either a basic element or something you make earlier in this list.
- Earth + Water = PlantBoth Earth and Water come straight from your starting elements — craft Plant first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Plant + Wind = DandelionDandelion is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Dandelion + Water = WineIf you already made Wine in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Wind + Wine = BalloonFinal craft: combine Wind and Wine to make Balloon. That's the whole path — 4 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Balloon
We rank every known recipe for Balloon by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Wind and Wine — cost 1 and 4 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 4 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.
Alternative combinations for Balloon
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Pufferfish + Wind | 8 crafts |
| Baby + Wind | 9 crafts |
| Blowfish + Wind | 9 crafts |
| Cognac + Wind | 9 crafts |
| Earth + Hot Air | 9 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.

Tips for crafting Balloon
- Craft in one sitting. The 4-craft chain for Balloon takes under two minutes once you know the route — the list above is already in dependency order, so just go top to bottom.
- Reuse your inventory. If you've played before you probably own the early intermediates (like Dandelion) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Pufferfish + Wind also produces Balloon if that route fits your inventory better.
