Metaphor ReFantazio Cooking Ingredients: Where to Find Every Cooking Ingredient in the Game

There are a wide range of Ingredients to find in Metaphor ReFantazio, but they are all generally obtainable in one of three ways.

The first is to buy or receive them from specific merchants and NPCs. Merchants are denoted by icons related to what they buy, with meat sellers shown as a meat slab being cut and water vendors shown via a water droplet. NPCs that give you food, meanwhile, are only denoted by a text bubble, so it’s best to chat up NPCs at least once when you first encounter them.

The second method is to kill enemies. Certain monsters drop a given cooking ingredient as loot, and grinding them is a surefire way to keep your pantry stocked with rare materials.

Finally, you can get ingredients by engaging in special tasks on the Gauntlet runner. Certain mushrooms and veggies can be found growing in the Gauntlet Runner’s pantry or garden, while fish and rare items can be reeled in with the fishing rod. The majority of these activities take time to carry out though, so keep this in mind before you dedicate your time to getting ingredients this way.

All Cooking Ingredient Locations, Listed

With all that in mind, we’ve listed the location of every Cooking Ingredient down below for your convenience so that you can minimize your grinding for them.
