ByKim Snaith
Magical Delicacy may be a metroidvania-lite, but first and foremost it is a game about cooking. And that means gathering items to combine together in different and interesting ways. You don’t always know what cooking items together is going to create, and that’s part of the joy of the game. But hopefully with our Magical Delicacy ingredients guide, you might have some idea.
We’ve listed all of the ingredients in the game (Disclaimer: that we’ve found so far. We’ll be updating this guide as find more) along with their properties, their rarity and where to find them. Knowing their property is particularly important: certain quests require a recipe to have a specific property, which can only be achieved by cooking items also with that property.
We recommend using your browser’s ‘Find’ function (Ctrl+F if you’re on Windows) to search for a particular property if you need something in particular. Otherwise, you can simply browse: we’ve grouped items by their type to make it easier to find what you’re looking for.
It’s worth noting that some of these items can be found in multiple places. Common items are typically found all over the map (you’ll have tonnes of Moonberries, for example) but others can only be found in a specific place. We’ve tried to be specific where we can. Thankfully, many items can also be bought from retailers, who are consistent with what they stock.
So, we hope you find our Magical Delicacy ingredients guide useful. If you need more help with the game, you can also check out our Magical Delicacy quest guide, which contains all story-related recipes and general help for progressing through the game.
Shop location guide
If you need help identifying a shop by its name, we’ve put a handy guide together below. You’ll find a helpful map, with all locations marked on it, in our Magical Delicacy walkthrough.
- Alba’s Fruit: You’ll find this young fruit seller near to the Town Hall.
- Bakery: This is (hopefully) sufficient enough; you’ll find it to the right of your shop.
- The Braided Petal: This is the herb shop just to the left of your shop.
- Cassia: You’ll meet this witch as part of the story. Her hut is to the north of the map.
- Curiosities: This mysterious trader appears in a tent, in a town area only after dark. Their location is randomised each night.
- Distant Wares: This is the travelling vendor, Ari, who stands with his alpaca. You’ll first find him in town, to the left of your shop, but he moves around.
- Kelp & More: This is the shop run by a frog in the Aquafarmer Huts region.
- Produce Market: This market seller is near the Town Hall.
- Spice Bazaar: You’ll reach the Spice Bazaar once you’re able to switch to your Shadow form.
- Tauno’s Wares: Tauno’s Wares is to the southeast of the map.
- Unicorn Tearoom: This will likely be the last shop you unlock in Magical Delicacy. It’s to the north of the map.
