As in some of its predecessors, cooking plays an important role in Tales of Arise. When resting at campsites, players can rustle up a variety of delicious meals, each one providing its own unique perks and bonuses for a limited time period. Depending on which party member cooks the meal, the potency of the effects can even be increased or, in some cases, made to last even longer. Certain artifacts can also extend the duration of cooking effects, though these won't become available until quite far into the main story.
Before players can start cooking, however, they'll first need to find some of the many cooking recipes that are scattered throughout Tales of Arise. There are 38 of them in total (as well as four pre-order DLC recipes), with players needing to find 30 of the initial 38 to unlock the Globetrotting Foodie trophy/achievement. In order to actually prepare the dishes, they'll also need to make sure that they have the correct ingredients in their inventory.
