Genshin Impact is one of the biggest free-to-play titles of 2020. MiHoYo’s all-out effort in terms of talent and investment has truly paid off as the game is hands down one of the most innovative open-world ARPG that offers cross-platform gameplay. For those who are new to the title, Genshin Impact offers a fantasy-themed open-world adventure with elemental-based combat mechanics. The game debuted on Windows, PS4, IOS, and Android on September 28, 2020, followed by the PlayStation 5 version on November 11, 2020. A Nintendo Switch version is also in the works, which is set to launch in the coming months.
Aside from its cross-play feature, the brilliance of Genshin Impact comes from the plethora of elements embedded within its core. After all, a game with a marketing and development budget of around $100 million is hard to dismiss. With that said, as much as we want to dive into its jaw-dropping audio-visual presentation and seamless gameplay structure that is a topic for another day. Today, however, we are going to take a quick overview of the mouth-watering-stomach-filling and ability-boosting activity in the game which is none other than Cooking.
Cooking, for the most part, is not a new feature in RPG titles especially to games that feature open-world gameplay like Genshin Impact. Cooking in Genshin Impact is not a complicated activity as long as you have a recipe. Players can cook in stoves located in cities. Cooking is also possible in campfires across the open-word area. The best part of cooking is that the dishes (depending on the recipe) are the boost it provides to the character’s attributes. With that in mind, we collected some of the best recipes that you can cook in the game.
Fantastic Recipes in Genshin Impact
Before we jump into the recipes, it is important to remember that the most important part of cooking is the effects or the benefits the dish will provide to the character. With that said, check out some of the fantastic recipes you can use in Genshin Impact.
Steak
The first recipe on our list is probably the most accessible and the easiest to acquire and it’s none other than the mouth-watering juicy steak, For starters, Steak is available right off the bat and it only requires two raw pieces of meat to produce. A juicy steak can revive a fallen ally and can restore 50-150 HP.
Fried Radish Balls
Fried Radish Balls is a great recipe to follow if you are planning to go on an offensive attack. Like the steak, this recipe is available from the start. To make Fried Radish Balls, you need 3X Flour, 2X Radish, and 1X Pepper. The effect of this superfood is a 60-96 ATK increase for 300 seconds, which, with the right strategy is more than enough to finish off your enemies.
Pile ‘em Up in Genshin Impact
Pile ‘em Up is another superfood that is useful in your offensive endeavors. The Good Hunter in Mondstadt sells this recipe. The recipe requires 3x Raw Meat, 3x Potato, 1x Lamp Glass, and 1x Cheese. Pile ‘em Up can increase the CRIT rate of all members by 10-20% for 300 seconds.
Wanmin Restaurant’s Boiled Fish
Wanmin Restaurant’s Boiled Fish is a special superfood that was introduced as the main reward. To acquire this iconic dish, you can cook with Xiangling or receive it on her birthday as a gift. The recipe requires 3x Fish, 1x Jueyun Chili, 1x Salt, and 1x Violetgrass. Wanmin Restaurant’s Boiled Fish can restore 34% of the maximum HP of all party members. The best part is that each character will generate a maximum of 980 HP every five seconds for 30 seconds max.
Jueyun Guoba
The final recipe on our list called the Jueyun Guoba is from Ms. Bai in Qingce Village. This recipe requires 2x Horsetail, 2x Rice, 1x Ham, and 1x Jueyun Chili. This spicy dish can increase the physical DMG of all party members by 30% for 300 seconds making the dish a great substitute for Pile ‘em Up.
Those are just five of the many recipes that you can acquire in Genshin Impact. Acquiring ingredients for the recipes requires a lot of scavenging. To that end, it is highly recommended that you get familiar with the basic ingredients to make the quest as tireless as possible. Other than that, you can always scavenge everything in sight and sort it out afterward, the important thing is that you have enough ingredients for the recipes.
