Cooking Guide (Unlock & Recipes)

The Strawhats’ resident chef, Sanji, must unlock their cooking skills with lost memory dice in order to deliver recipes that buffer the party.

Ever since Baratie, Sanji has been providing meals for the Strawhat crew through his excellent cooking skills, but i One Piece Odyssey the events of the main story prevent players from using his signature skills until they unlock certain recipes. Instead, Sanji’s cooking returns through memory dice that upgrade his recipes to aid the party during battle with powerful buffs such as clearing status conditions or restoring health. Able to increase from an initial level 1 to level 3, new food combinations are given to the player at each level as the battles become more difficult in later chapters.

Cooking as a mechanic does not appear in One Piece Odyssey‘s extensive history until chapter 2, where the Strawhats once again find themselves in the deserted island nation of Alabasta. Venturing into the deserts outside the city of Nanohana requires food and water, leading players to the Spice Bean Tavern. After this the goal of the main narrative leads to a scene where a challenge is given to Sanji by the tavern’s chef, opening up a quest for players to find ingredients for scorpion and clam soup. These are easily obtained from beach west of Nanohana’s Harbor and after fighting scorpions in the desert.

Unlocking cooking recipes

Track down both ingredients for the rival chef unlocks Sanji’s level 1 cooking recipes, which can be accessed through the company. Various options for crafting food items are found here and increase as Sanji’s abilities only grow as players collect more memory cubes. Like Luffy’s Observation, Haki used to level up One Piece Odysseys feast quickly, Sanji has the innate ability to track down rare ingredients for cooking recipes. Eventually this leads to Level 2 cookingwhich hosts far more potent items, albeit with more complex ingredient requirements that players must gather prior to their creation.

Players can access the menu for each cooking item through “Sanji’s kitchen,” an optional tab found at either the Spice Bean tavern early or camps at later levels. Higher boosts to XP are directly tied to parties held in these camps, so these locations are very important for players who want to gain extra advantages in battles and craft food items before taking on the challenges of the main story.

Mastering Sanji’s cooking skills

While one Level 3 cooking stage exists for Sanji as the ultimate progression of this character skill i One Piece Odyssey, the list of ingredients and effects are simply superior versions of those found in Level 2. There are more uses for the crafted food items than just rare occurrences in battle, as Bond Charge Levels between party members unlock special attacks with Sanji, if the prepared meals are used to help them in particularly adverse circumstances. Players should not be conservative with these crafted meals, as their ingredients are easy to find through normal encounters in explored areas throughout each chapter.

A number of these listed recipes are recommended to be kept at all times to suit the different situations of individual matches. For example, if players have difficulty dealing with an enemy that specializes in poison damage, a constant supply of Scorpion and Clam Soup reducing any risk the enemy would pose to the crew. One Piece Odyssey‘s JRPG-like gameplay remains only as difficult as players choose it to be, and unlocking all the recipes through cooking makes the game much easier.
