Best cooking ingredients guide
Everyone is enjoying the new Capcom’s title, Monster Hunter Wilds which is smashing records back to back for the franchise. During the hunt, hunters might need some food for the buffs or to keep them in good condition for the upcoming battle.
Cooking plays an important part in the game and in this article, we will provide you with the best guide for the cooking ingredients.
Cooking basics: The three ingredient slots
Every meal in the game uses three slots: Rations, Additional Ingredients, and Finishing Touches. Rations serve as the base, with additions and toppings adding unique benefits. Here’s how you can get them:
- Fish: +50 Health, +150 Stamina, +4 Defense, 30-minute duration – Reel them in from fishing sites around the biomes.
- Meat: +50 Health, +150 Stamina, +2 Attack, 30-minute duration – Carve from tiny monsters, such as herbivores, while hunting.
- Veggies: +50 Health, +150 Stamina, +2 Defense, +3 Elemental Resistance, 30-minute duration; harvest herbs and plants while exploring.
Remember, rations are the backbone of the dish and they also boost stats like health and stamina. Grab extra food from the supply pouch at the outset of the hunt, or talk to the Provisions Master at Windward Plains Base Camp in Monster Hunter Wilds.
