Sea of Stars is the latest retro turn-based JRPG game that’s been updated to the present day. If you loved classic SNES games like Chrono Trigger and Earthbound then you’re not going to want to miss this game. In this fantasy world, there are deutagonists that are blessed by the Sun and the Moon and together with their friends they’re on a quest to save the world.
The game has more than just great combat, skills and weapons to focus on, there are side quests, cooking and fishing to do in-between. And you’ll be surprised at how important and useful fishing and cooking are going to be in Sea of Stars. Not only is there an extensive range of beautiful meals that you can prepare, but eating the right things will boost and replenish your health and magic. Sea of Stars may look like a beautiful and gentle game but the enemies in it can take you down if you’re not careful.
In this guide, we’ll go through how to cook in Sea of Stars as well as all its recipes and where to find them.
How To Start Cooking
Cooking in Sea of Stars isn’t as complicated as other RPGs and farming sims that may require a bunch of different utensils, mini-games or additional materials. Instead, all you need to do is find a pre-built camp while you’re on your journey and interact with it. Interacting with a camp will give you the option of “Cook”, then all you need is the recipe as well as the right ingredients to cook it.
There are over 20 different recipes in the game which can be found throughout the land, talking to different NPCs and more. We’ll go through all of the recipe locations later in this guide. As for the ingredients to the recipes be sure to go fishing whenever you get the chance as well as gather the required materials from the flora along your travels. You can also buy the ingredients from merchants in town.
