How Cooking Works in Beast of Reincarnation: Complete Hunger, Recipes and Buffs Guide

Cooking in Beast of Reincarnation is an important mechanic to keep Emma and Koo energized and permanently improve their stats. Here is a complete guide on how it works, how to unlock it, and how to get more recipes.

How Hunger Works

Emma and Koo’s hunger meter decreases as you explore and fight. If the meter empties, they stop passively regenerating health.

You can check the hunger status with the wheat icon in the bottom left corner of the screen. As long as the meter is not empty, both characters gradually recover HP.

To feed them in the field, press down on the D-Pad and select food from the Battle Pack. When you leave the Cleanse Walker, the Battle Pack automatically refills with Field Rations, Hard Candy, and Koo Treats. You can also find Fish or Malefact Meat while exploring.

How to Unlock Cooking

At the beginning of the game you only have Plain Rice and Malefact Meat. These ingredients cook automatically when you sit at a campfire and you can consume them from the Battle Pack.

Full cooking is unlocked later in the main story, when you meet Kagura after some flashback scenes.

How Cooking Works in the Cleanse Walker

Once unlocked, you can cook specific meals by selecting “Rest Until Morning” inside the Cleanse Walker. These meals:

• Refill the hunger meter
• Heal Emma and Koo
• Give permanent stat bonuses (HP, Attack, Defense, Skill Power, or Critical Rate)

In the back room of the Cleanse Walker you can grow seedlings in the Grow Chamber. Plants are automatically harvested when ready. You can also raise chickens in the Incubator to get eggs.

To have more growing space you need to increase the Cleanse Walker’s Power with Generator Devices and Facility Modules, which are found on the map, especially on top of large mechanical structures.

Talk to Kagura to set which recipe you want to produce and which seeds to grow.

How to Unlock More Recipes

Recipes are found in books scattered around the world or bought from Merchants that appear in different zones.

Bring the books to Kagura so she can research them. She can only research one recipe or crop at a time. While researching, she cannot cook that recipe until she finishes.

Improving rapport with Kagura (by talking to her and giving her recipes) increases the quantity and quality of items she gives you when you leave for the field (such as Hard Candy and Rations).

Recipes have three ranks: normal, superior, and ultimate. To unlock higher ranks you need to research the previous tier and improve the Cleanse Walker’s Calculations with Electronic Brains.

The first time you eat a new meal you receive an additional stat bonus.

With these systems you will be able to keep Emma and Koo well fed and with better stats throughout the entire adventure.
