All Recipes Learned
Mastering the culinary arts in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC is not just about creating delicious meals; it's about unlocking powerful buffs and completing your Bracer rank objectives. To achieve the "All Recipes Learned" achievement, you'll need to acquire every single recipe available throughout your extensive journey. Recipes are primarily obtained through various means: purchasing them from shops, receiving them as quest rewards, finding them in treasure chests, or being taught them by NPCs during specific story events or side quests.
It's crucial to visit every town and village you encounter and thoroughly check the inventory of all shops, particularly the general stores and specialized food vendors. Many recipes are time-sensitive or tied to specific chapters, so failing to purchase them early on can lead to missing out entirely. Pay close attention to dialogue from NPCs, as they will often hint at where new recipes can be found or who might teach them. Some recipes are even learned by simply cooking a dish for the first time with a specific character, unlocking the recipe for future use.
The vast majority of recipes are learned during the main story progression, but a significant number are hidden within side quests or require specific actions. For instance, completing certain Bracer jobs or interacting with specific characters in particular locations might trigger a recipe acquisition. Don't neglect exploring every nook and cranny of the world map and dungeons, as some recipes are hidden in treasure chests that might be easily overlooked. Keeping a checklist of learned recipes and cross-referencing it with a comprehensive guide is highly recommended to ensure you don't miss any. The "General FAQs/Guides" by Berserker_Blade (v1.22) and yangxu (v0.2) are excellent resources for tracking down all obtainable recipes.
