Undawn Cooking Guide: Everything You Must Know

Undawn Cooking is very important in the game since it will not just make your character full to survive in a zombie-infested world but also boost your character’s ability or stats on the game. in a period.

In this Undawn Cooking guide, I will guide you to know everything about cooking in Undawn that can help you survive in the game.

I already mentioned in my previous Undawn content that I’ve been playing LifeAfter for 4 years and its gameplay was almost the same in Undawn, I also played Undawn from the very beginning when it was released and even participated in the Undawn Beta test before the game released on the public.

I’m very familiar with this game and let me guarantee you that cooking is very important in the game and you will badly need to learn everything about cooking. So without further ado, let’s dive in on our cooking guide in Undawn.

What are the benefits of cooking in Undawn?

Cooking is essential in the game, without it, you will run out of food and might get your character starved to death. Well sure you can get some ready-to-eat foods in the game like food can, berries, or even veggies in the game but I guarantee you it will never be enough for your character to survive.

Those kinds of food can just be a supplement if you don’t have any food in the game like when you are just level one or a bit higher, but when your level goes higher—- trust me you will need to cook a lot of foods in the game.

Below is the list of benefits you can get when cooking in Undawn:

The character will not die from hunger— When you let your character without eating, it might starve to death, you can see the white bar below the HP bar? it was the indication of how full your character is.

When it reaches zero your character will be very hungry that its movement is affected, your gathering speed will be reduced, and worst your HP will continuously decrease while you’re in a hunger state.

You will benefit from food buff– This is the main reason why you need to learn more about cooking in the game. It is also the most important one which is why I encourage you to learn about cooking in the game.

Some of the buffs include Increases in armor piercing, Increase damage, Increase critical hit, Increase armor, Increase skill strength resistance, Increase max HP, Increase damage reduction against zombies, restored HP per second, and a lot more.

How To Cook In The Game Undawn

There are a couple of ways how to cook in the game, let’s give you some ideas on how to do it.

TreeHouse Furnace

The very first thing that is introduced in the game is how to cook, remember the story part where you and Sherry are in the tree house to rest? The story includes you cooking food using a furnace for you and Sherry.

How To Cook In The Treehouse Furnace

After the story mode, you can still use it to cook some food in the game. All you need to do was head over to the tree house, find the Furnace inside the treehouse, and start cooking.

Grill

I already mentioned in my previous Undawn guide that grills are one of the most important pieces of furniture that you should have on your Homestead. Most of the time you will use your Homestead grill to cook food.

How To Cook On Grill

Cooking on the grill is the most common way to cook in Undawn, all you need to do is to craft a grill then place it everywhere on your Homestead and start cooking. Try to mix every random ingredient to discover new recipes or buy cooking recipes in the Raven shop.

Bonfire

Our third way of cooking in Undawn is through the use of a bonfire. This method is handy especially if you are out in the wild and you run out of foods.

How To Cook Using a Bonfire

Cooking using a bonfire is a bit different compared to a grill or furnace. First, you will need to use the crafting on the go and choose to craft a bonfire, you will need wood to be able to craft one and after that place it on the ground and make a fire.

After your lighting the bonfire two options will appear “Cook or Warm-Up” Choose the cook button and start cooking. The downside of using a bonfire for cooking was there is no option to view your existing recipes that you buy on Raven shop but you can still cook it if you memorize all the ingredients.

How To Get The Recipe For Cooking In Undawn

To benefit from different kinds of buffs from the food in the game, we need to have access to different recipes in Undawn. But the question is how can you get these recipes?

Below are different ways how to get Undawn recipes for you to use in cooking.

Experimenting Different Recipes

The first method to get different recipes in was to experiment, once you have a grill you can start placing different ingredients like meat, vegetables, fruits, fungus, and other ingredients to unlock new recipes.

In addition to that, discovering new recipes has another benefit — you can get some rewards which you can claim in your gallery.

Buy Recipes In Raven Store

Aside from randomly discovering new recipes you can also buy some ready-to-cook recipes in the game, you can buy them from the goods merchant in the Raven shelter, inside your camp, or use a shortcut and buy them in the Raven Shop.

To buy a cooking recipe using Raven Shop, just click the diamond icon at the topmost part of your screen, then a new option will appear, then scroll it down to find the market just beside the tournament and pass.

Then click on the raven shop >> click cooking recipes >> then you can buy some using silver.

How To Get Ingredients

You can’t cook without ingredients even if you already have some recipes. Luckily there are a couple of ways to obtain ingredients in the, let me show you how.

Gathering Ingredients In the Wild

The most common way to get these ingredients is by gathering them in the wild. Since your first day in the game, you will see some symbols in certain maps like apples or tomatoes those are all ingredients.

The symbol in every map might be the same but the ingredients are different based on map levels. For example, are the pumpkins, I see some players keep asking in the chat room about how to get pumpkins in Undawn. All they need to do is to check every map and click the “leaf” icon at the bottom part of every map and they can see what resources and ingredients they might obtain in the region.

In the Redwood Forest, you can gather Pumpkin, Tomatoes in Central Plain, Alovera In Koller Mine, etc. You will just check what ingredients are available in the region and try to get as much as you could.

Farmland

Another way to obtain ingredients is through farmland. At a certain level, you can unlock the farmland feature in the game. After that, you can use silver to unlock each plot in your farmland and plant some seeds which you can buy in the supplies shop.

All you need to do was head to your farmland then click the button with the symbol of the plant then select the seedling that you want, if you don’t have any seedlings you can buy them at the supplies shop just on the left side button as shown in the image below.

You can buy Chinese Cabbage Seeds, Pineapple Seeds, Romaine Lettuce Seeds, and many more. After planting the seedlings you need to take care of them by watering, and adding fertilizer until it was ready to harvest to use in your Undawn cooking recipes.

Fishing

Recipes are based on certain ingredients and some dishes in the game have fish as a main ingredient. Different kinds of fish can be caught while fishing all you need to do was to craft a fishing rod and bait and then find some bodies of water for fishing like lakes or rivers and start fishing

Raven Shop

You can also buy some basic ingredients in the Raven Shop, you also need to know that some recipes in the game have an ingredient that you can’t find elsewhere rather than in the Raven Shop.

Just go to the Raven shop by navigating through the bottom part of your dashboard and find “Market” Just click on it and you can find the Raven shop. From there you can find the ingredients tab and buy the ingredients that you need by using a silver.

Dining Hall

I will assume that you already join a camp and even if you don’t I advise that you should since the camp is very important in Undawn since there are a lot of activities inside the camp with great rewards that you will miss out when not joining a camp.

If you have a camp you can also buy some ingredients by navigating through Camp> then click building> then find dining hall> click on it and go to the bottom part of your dining hall > look for materials then click on it and voila! you can now buy some ingredients using silver inside your dining hall.
