30 Mar 2022

In any RPG being able to cook is a must. Together with other exploration activities, like fishing or foraging, cooking immerses you in the world of the game. Plus, it’s fun. That’s why today we’re going to talk about cooking in Genshin Impact.

Genshin offers us lots of dishes to try, all of them with different characteristics and recipes. In this guide, we’ll show you which are the best foods in the game, why, and how to get them.

15. Goulash

The first dish we’re presenting is the Goulash. This spicy and hot combination of meat and vegetables can stop your character’s temperature from going down. This is helpful on DragonSpine, where the Sheer Cold Status affects you if you’re far from a fire.

Decrease the rate of Sheer Cold accumulation for 900 seconds.

How To Get:

14. Golden Crab

Next, we present the Golden Crab. Instead of cancelling status, this dish increases your team’s stats. Which stats? Defense and Healing Bonus. This can be useful both for tanky characters that need DEF, like Noelle or Itto, or healers that need the bonus, like Qiqi or Jean.

Ingredients in Genshin Impact sometimes can be difficult to get, that’s why it’s good to have many dishes that increase the same stat. In this case, Critical Rate is also increased. However, this also increases ATK, increasing the overall damage for every character.

This is all good, but my character doesn’t need stats or health if they’re dead. It’s okay, there’s a solution for you: revival food. One of them is the Fullmoon Egg, which revives characters with 1500 HP.

I said there’s stamina-related food that can decrease stamina consumption. Well, if after eating one of those, your stamina is on its limits and you’ve yet to arrive at the top of the mountain, eat Five Pickled Treasures. With this boost of stamina, you’ll get anywhere.

The goal of this guide was to show you which are the best foods in Genshin Impact. Although I’ve gotten hungry in the process, I hope you’ve learnt that food is really helpful in this game and that there are lots of effects so you should pay attention to them. Who knows? Maybe this will make you start cooking in real life as well!
