You just need to find their recipes first.

Trails Through Daybreak 2 Review – A Trail Not Really Worth Following

Trails Through Daybreak 2 has several vast improvements, but a lackluster story with poorly implemented time travel makes it difficult to recommend.

Fear not though, as we’re here with this guide to ensure that you get to make every sweet treat and tasty morsel on offer. There are 21 recipes in total for you to find, with some you have to go out of your way to obtain, so here’s when and where you can grab them.

Where To Find Every Recipe In Trails Through Daybreak 2

Every recipe in the game can be found in a store of some kind, sometimes in ones that you wouldn’t naturally associate with food. To make your life easier, you should check out any store you see that is symbolized by a red marker on your minimap, as that means they have new stock. Not every recipe is available immediately, so it’s worth checking in at every shop a few times.

Without further ado, here’s every recipe in the game, which store you can buy them from, and when they become accessible in the story:

If you want to maximize Van’s Gourmet Rank (which you should as it gives you tonnes of stat boosts), then grabbing these recipes is a must. Food that you make with your party is worth a lot more Gourmet Points than food you buy from stores, and is pretty much necessary if you want to max it out.

A lot of these recipes also require rare ingredients, such as Prime Beast Essence. Your best place to get stuff like this is by trading for it with one of the many merchants out there that accept trade. The rest of the ingredients you should acquire naturally while playing, though you can always equip quartz – such as Serendipity – that make monster drop rates higher if you need the ingredients urgently and can’t buy them.
