Kitchen

Learn how to use the Kitchen in Monster Hunter Generations to boost your health and stamina, unlock new ingredients, and gain powerful food skills for your hunts.

Hey there, hunter! The Kitchen is going to be your best friend when it comes to prepping for a hunt. Seriously, heading out without eating first is practically begging to fail! You start with 100 health and 100 stamina, but you can bump those up to a max of 150 each. You *could* use an Ancient Potion during a quest, but why waste an item when a good meal from the Kitchen does the same thing?

As you play through the game, both solo and with friends, you'll unlock new ingredients. These are super important because they let you make all sorts of new recipes. Just chat with the Purr-prietress, that charming Felyne, and she'll show you what ingredients you've got. Combine two that the game allows, and boom! You've just created a new meal that gets added to your list.

Before you head out on any quest, make sure to sit down at the bench in any kitchen you find in the main towns. Pick a meal, and you'll see the Health and Stamina boosts right there on the HUD, along with any food skills. These skills are temporary, only lasting for that specific quest. If you faint, you lose those boosts and skills unless you've eaten for the Felyne Foodie skill. Most food skills are named like “Felyne [something],” and some, like Felyne Insurance, are absolute lifesavers!

The kind of food skills you get a chance at depends on the sauce you choose after picking your main meal. So, have fun experimenting with the menu and enjoy watching your hunter chow down!
