Cooking is essential to survival in Cairn, as meals become more nutritious and provide warmth to Aava. Some ingredients, such as herbs, can’t be eaten on their own or would make Aava lose health, but once cooked, they are part of something great. This guide will show players all the recipes in Cairn that they can cook in the tent, along with their respective stats and buffs to help Aava climb.
How to Make More Chalk in Cairn
Chalk is essential in Cairn for improving Aava’s grip and helping her reach the summit of Mount Kami. Here’s how to make more chalk in Cairn.
All Drink & Infusion Recipes In Cairn
The following are drink and infusion recipes in Cairn, which typically satisfy thirst but can also replenish hunger and health, while also providing other buffs, such as a burst of energy for a short amount of time.
Many of these will also provide Aava with +40 warmth, as long as they are drunk within a certain amount of time. It’s therefore best to cook and eat/drink directly just before you’re ready to climb. Meals and drinks can also be reheated.
Make sure to fill up your water bottle whenever possible, not just for drinking from, but also for making these drinks and cooking meals.
