Summary

  • Food in Enshrouded is important for restoring health and energy, as well as providing buffs. It is better to cook food first to avoid negative effects.
  • Players have limited access to food options in the early stages of the game, so knowing what recipes are best is crucial for survival.
  • There are various recipes for cooking food in Enshrouded, such as Roasted Azure Russula, Grilled Game, and Roasted Corncob, which provide different buffs for different durations.

Food is an essential item for survival, not only in real life but in Enshrouded as well. Not only does it help players with restoring their health and energy, but it also provides additional buffs. Although various food items are scattered throughout the map and players can consume them directly, it is better to cook food first because raw food can be poisonous and has a high chance of adding a negative effect.

During the initial stages of Enshrouded, players have limited access to the map, which means a limited amount of food options. Having prior food knowledge will help players survive the early game stages. Those hoping to ensure their survival in Enshrouded should consider familiarizing themselves with the best early-game food recipes on offer.
