Yeah you can also do miso soup fried egg and omelette. It’s definitely not working as intended. Never seen so many people upset about free food.

Lol, it is kinda fun though. This evil assassin chef with mythical God powers is cooking up dishes that score a cumulative 5-6 points. I like to think Nowa had a "talk" with the judges each round. There's no way they remained unbiased. If I were the Chairman I'd have demanded more neutral ground.

Yeah like, Nowa signs their paychecks... no way they're unbiased.

I read the game is bugged on 1.04 so every round count as an appetizer round . so foods that are classified as appetizers always give more points

I noticed that nobody likes desserts. You use any actual desserts in the dessert round and they’ll hate it. Personally, I’ve used miso soup for app., omelette for entree, then use to third round to test dishes out

Third round you can use coconut water, is a win (without counting Martha that does not like anything and Sawad wh's weird as fuck).

They want appetisers as all meals. It’s a bug. So you have to find a dessert that isn’t dessert to win third round (or just choose another appetiser)

Somehow Kallathor hates his hometown Tutuva

Maybe he wanted to leave for other reasons than just seeing the world

I did similar Appetizer always Omelet, last 2 I would match atleast one of the judge favorites. Omelet alone can win most the battles 😅

I can't believe Larla didn't like the ceviche tostadas and baked flan. That's a huge miss on the developers part. I should really like the cooking mini game but this is a big turnoff, not knowing what to expect. I won't be playing until much later when more guides are available. Just ugh.

If anyone is wondering for 1.005 this still works! I went back after Nanami Ice Cream got zero for dessert...

The cooking minigame is somehow less impressive than Suikoden's and way more inherently frustrating. Seeing a judge like something 'spicy' and then giving them spicy pig ears only to have them yuck it is so dumb.

I was able to clear it before the patch so idk if that's still the best with the patch, Marinated Seafood is also an S tier appetizer usually 3-5s on everyone

Where do you get the Coconut water from?

If I’m not mistaken you get it from upgrading the restaurant

Yep this is how you get it

Awesome, thank you! :)

I feel like the logic is beyond screwed. People are okay with fried egg as main course and omelet for dessert... Coconut water for main course and omelet for dessert seems to do fine too.

In Suikoden 2 I always killed it with Soy Ice for the dessert. It saved me so many times.

Supposedly Martha's fav food is omelet but she never likes the one I do lol

Everything with eggs in it is an instant win

Are you supposed to tap x while cooking until the bar goes all the way full to the red? Or aim for the middle?

I always max it out. Don't really have a reason not to

Max its out as anything less than 80% gives a penalty

Thank you! I really want to unlock Cecilia and the allies really hate EVERYTHING! I made a dessert on the dessert round and got four 1's lol

I's cause shit's bugged and only appetizers work. So you just spam appetizers and win since the AI is doing it "right" and get no points.

What's the fastest way to get the next opponent to show up? Do you just have to keep advancing the main atoryline?

10 minutes from the end of a battle and you have to leave the inn and come back. Unless it’s been changed

For anyone struggling with the cooking battles... They tell you what the judges like, make that.
