The success of the immensely popular open-world RPG, Genshin Impact, hinges predominantly on its diverse and intriguing cast of characters. Each character brings their own unique personality and playstyles to the table, making the game endlessly engaging. For the foodies out there, you’d be delighted to know that the character you pull for will also "buff" your food!
In Genshin Impact, food serves various purposes, such as healing characters, reviving them, buffing the player's character, or enhancing the entire party. One lesser-known fact is that nearly all characters have their very own "Special Dish", which is an upgraded version of a base dish, adding an extra layer of incentive for players to pull for specific characters.
Without further ado, here's a comprehensive list of all characters and their Special Dishes, as well as how to cook said dishes in Genshin Impact! Let's dig in.
What are Special Dishes in Genshin Impact and how do I make them?
Character Special Dishes in Genshin Impact are upgraded versions of base dishes that can only be made by certain characters. They provide more benefits than their base counterparts, such as higher healing or buffs. Although cooking Special Dishes requires some gacha luck to make, they are worth the effort for the extra benefits they provide.
They also have a unique appearance and description that reflects the character's personality or backstory, adding another layer of depth and charm to the game!
In order to make a Special Dish, you will also need to have the base dish and the required ingredients. Once you have everything you need, you can cook the Special Dish at any campfire or stove. Be sure to select the character with the ability to make the specific Special Dish before starting the cooking process!
