Cooking Skill Guide [Final Fantasy 15/ FFXV]

THIS SECTION CONTAINS A GUIDE ON IGNIS' COOKING SKILL IN FINAL FANTASY XV

This page contains a guide on Ignis’ Cooking Skill in Final Fantasy XV, including basic mechanics, strategies, inredients, recipes, food effects and tips and tricks in the game.

Cooking Skill Guide

Ignis can cook when the party camps out or rests at havens via the Cooking Skill. Recipes are unlocked through various methods such as eating a dish at a restaurant, finishing sidequests or raising the Cooking Skill to a certain level. Just make sure that you have the required ingredients.

When a party member eats one of their favorite foods, they will receive specific bonuses:

  • Noctis’ tech bar will have a fill rate increase of 100%
  • Allies leveling rate will be doubled for any techniques used. Critical hits are also guaranteed when techniques are performed.

To best take advantage of stat buffs from eating cooked meals, we recommend that you unlock Ignis’ Aftertaste nexuses as early as you can. This will extend the duration of food effects to help you in combat as you progress further in the game. The duration of buffs is indicated below.

  • Default: until nightfall (up to 12 hours)
  • Aftertaste (18 AP): until sunrise on the following day (up to 24 hours)
  • Lingering Aftertaste (99 AP): until nightfall on the following day (up to 36 hours)
  • Persistent Aftertaste (333 AP): until sunrise on the day after the next (up to 48 hours)
