Great guide, i wish the game had a cookbook (which filled up during experimenting) and maybe a shortcut menu system for often used dishes like cooking after battle in Tales of Vesperia.
@@GamerGrade I agree that a cook book would be great, but I don't agree with you wanting them to explain it. The best parts of games like BoTW and Elden Ring is that they don't hold your hand and overtly tell you everything there is to know, like how you have to not only uncover sections of the map yourself, but also you have to mark points of interest on your map instead of them being there already.
@@TryonixGaming shit? Just because you lack the ability to understand the way it works, especially after watching a video explaining it, doesn't make the system "shit".
2 mighty BANNANA bladed rhino beetle, moulin guts, and molduga fin. There is a molduga fin and moulins in the dining hall in hyrule castle and a rhino beetle in front of shrine of resurrection in the tree next to the boulder
Genuinely an awesome guide. Covered basics, moved quickly through concepts, and gave an example when needing to cement a new idea. Reading from a script is way better than people trying to make it up as they go and their umms and uhhhhhs.
These are the recipes I came up with awhile back while experimenting with the cooking mechanic. I think some of the recipes don't need 4 parts, but it just makes it easier to remember.: Hearty Simmered Fruit (full heal plus extra) - 1 Hearty Durian Enduring Fried Wild Greens (full stamina plus extra) - 1 Endura Carrot (5 for 2 extra stamina) Mighty Steamed Fruit (+3 attack for 30 mins) - 4 Mighty Bananas + 1 Dragon Horn Tough Steamed Mushrooms (+3 defense for 30 mins) - 4 Ironshroom + 1 Dragon Horn Sneaky Fried Wild Greens (+3 sneak for 30 mins) - 4 Silent Princess + 1 Dragon Horn Hasty Fruit and Mushroom Mix (+3 speed for 30 mins) - 4 Fleet-Lotus Seeds + 1 Dragon Horn Electro Mushroom Skewer (+3 shock resist for 30 mins) - 4 Zapshroom + 1 Dragon Horn Chilly Mushroom Skewer (+2 heat resist for 30 mins) - 4 Chillshroom + 1 Dragon Horn Spicy Mushroom Skewer (+2 cold resist for 30 mins) - 4 Sunshroom + 1 Dragon Horn Cook during Blood Moon: (this one might not always last 30 mins) Fireproof Elixir (+2 flame guard for 30 mins) - 3 Smotherwing Butterfly + 1 Moblin Guts + 1 Dragon Horn
Hey thanks a lot mate! I found the crafting so confusing after playing for tens of hours and couldn't find a good guide explaining things in this level of detail. Again thanks a lot! Great guide
You're most welcome Ray, glad to hear the guide was helpful for you 🙏 Its a shame the game doesnt do a better job of teaching the nuances of cooking. Its a real game changer once you implement it properly. Good luck and enjoy the game 🍻
This is a great comprehensive guide! Ive been using a site to help figure out what to make but the site gave too much info and not enough if that makes sense? I was just starting to hate the cooking system and thinking i was never going to pick it up, but your way of going about it makes so much more sense!
Thanks so much for the feedback! The game doesnt do a great job explaining the cooking which is a shame as once you understand the mechanics, its a game changer. Enjoy :) 🙏
Thanks for this video, cooking is such a different concept for a Zelda game and it’s really helpful to know the basics. Most other videos out there are all about much more advanced cooking and for me just starting the game yesterday aren’t very useful. It’s nice to get this information without having to learn it via trial and error.
You are very welcome David, glad the video came in helpful for you, thats the exact reason why i made the video, information for beginners seems to be somewhat lacking. Hope you enjoy the great game! :)
You are very welcome! Glad to hear the guide was helpful for you 🙏 Its a shame the game deosn't delve deeper into teaching the cooking mechanic as its a real game changer if can wrap your head around it! Happy holidays and enjoy the game bro :) 🍻
wow. great video! was hard to find a good beginners guide and watched a few video's already. this one was by far the best for beginners thanks! i litterly only played for about 1-2 hours atm and have 2 shrines. this helps so much
Thank you mikee368, you are welcome, glad you found the video helpful, i hope it gives you a good head start in understanding the cooking. Enjoy the game! :)
@@GamerGrade it's not easy, lynels and silver and above enemies are rally tough, and i had never worried for the climate this much but it is real fun, even more so as i almost never cooked in my first run
Lol thanks for the positive feedback! 🙏 Understanding and implementing the cooking correctly will make a huge difference in combat and survivability :) Hope you're enjoying the game 👊
Thank you so much for this! I really enjoy using elixirs, but all other videos or sites just say "just stick to cooking food" or doesn't go into potency for the critters. Just saying which do what stat. So this guide will be most helpful to me!
Much appreciate the positive feedback Scott! Thanks :) 🙏 BotW definitely needed some additional explanation on the cooking. Considering how game changing cooking can be, its a shame the game doesn't expand on its cooking tutorials! Good luck and enjoy the game 🍻
I've often wondered what effect things like salt add to a dish since it doesn't have a heart value. I guess it goes to increased time limit? Or could it increase the effect of a dish by leveling it up from a low to a medium? Great guide and thank you for making it!
Yep you nailed it on the head there Tony, different ingredients will either increase hearts, time, level etc or a combination, or produce a duff dish. The game doesnt do a great job of teaching you cooking which is a shame! Hence i made the guide to give players more confidence in experimentation. Thanks for watching and enjoy the game :) 👊
Do you have a video that explains cooking/elixirs from a rupee earing perspective? If no, do you have one you'd recommend? Excellent work here, by the way; knowing the grading of certain recipes, and the link provided (pun intended) from ranked boost have both been tremendously helpful.
Unfortunately i didnt get time to make such a guide, and never watched one covering this, but im sure there will be several good ones on YT :) Thank you for the positive feedback, glad to hear the guide helped you out! Thanks for watching and good luck 🍻
Another awsome guide! Can you please make a Combat (probably including Equipment, Weapons, Potions) for this game since BOTW has so many fighting mechanics going on & different enemy types!
Thank you Aye Bo glad the guide helped you out :) Its been a while since i played this awesome game but i may return to it given the time, im not sure yet? But If i do, i will definitely do another guide covering the complex combat mechanics :) Enjoy the game!
That happy uplifting jingle? From what i remember thats a critical cook which will add to the effectiveness/stats/buffs of the resulting dish. Cooking crits can be consistently triggered from around 10:30-11:00 on the nights of a blood moon, otherwise it's random :)
technically there is an advantage to roasted food, they stack. so 100 roasted meat takes as many slots as one meat skewer. not often useful though as by the time you're using that many meal slots you're probably using hearty stuff to heal
At 10:54 is a list of ingredients for elixirs and their grades. I also didn't see these item-grades on rankedboost so that's why I stamped that part. But if you notice, certain types of plants/creatures are higher-graded (crabs, frogs, darners, etc).
Hi Jahn, its been a while since i played but from what i can remember, the egg will make the status effect last longer, and having 4 bananas will still result in a high level effect, just like 5 bananas. So yes the dish would be better with an egg. Hope that helps! :)
You are most welcome! Thanks for watching :) Unfortunately the website no longer exists but i plan to open a new one. Would you have found the written version more useful?
There is not much point cooking foods that replenish your stamina when the foods that give you temporary stamina wheels when cooked also replenish your stamina on top of giving you an extra stamina wheel. This means Endura Carrots and Mushrooms completely outclass any of the foods that restore stamina but don't give temporary stamina wheels. Hearty foods make all the other heart restoration foods obsolete, Why cook 5 Prime Meats when a single Hearty Durian does the same thing and also give you temporary hearts? Food materials are pretty unbalanced in BoTW. Hearty Durians are easier to find than a lot of the other materials and do wonders for Link.
You make some very valid points, thanks for sharing. However its all for variety, so you have the option of saving the best dishes for the toughest encounters. Sometimes you need a small HP/Stamina top up so only need to consume an appropriately minor dish, while other times you need a massive boost overpowering Link. Its all situational and more choice makes it more engaging, and less predictable.
In your guide, I see the list of foods and the grade A through E, but I don't find that grading system in your linked resources. Is there a place where you got all the foods and their grades from?
Lol the game needs to do a better job of introducing new recipes and encouraging cooking. Check out the recipes on the channel from the pinned comment, he has some very good ones :)
man so much debt in the cooking for such crap reward. oh yea a buff for 5 whole minutes....... cause in this game 5 minutes is a long time. takes 30-60 minutes to run from point a to point b
The problem is i think they needlessly over complicated cooking, having too many grades and types with monster parts and elixirs confusing matters. They should have simplified it, so you can easily determine what each ingredient adds at a glance.
