Sub-Recipe Requirements
The Special Meal requires pre-cooked ingredients, making it a multi-step recipe:
Meat and Fish Skewers (x3): Cooked at a Field Grill from 1 Meat + 1 Vegetable per skewer.
Boiled Meat (x2): Cooked at a Field Pot from 3 Fine Meat + 3 Vegetables + 3 Milk + 1 Salt + 3 Water per serving.
Plan ahead and prepare these sub-recipes before approaching a feast cooking station. The total ingredient chain is substantial.
Variants
The Special Meal serves as the base for two enhanced variants that add an extra ingredient for an additional buff:
Variant | Extra Ingredient | Additional Buff |
|---|---|---|
2 Coffee Cherry | Sleep Immunity (50s) | |
2 Skyroot | Stamina Cost -10% (3 min) |
Tips
The 6-second No Spirit Cost window lets you chain expensive abilities without draining your bar. Pop this before a boss's vulnerable phase to maximize damage output.
Feast recipes can only be cooked at settlement-level griddle stations. The Greymane Camp and major towns like Hernand have these stations.
Because the recipe requires pre-cooked Meat and Fish Skewers and Boiled Meat, consider batch-cooking these sub-recipes in advance.
