Ah, the life of an adventurer in Throne and Liberty. You battle colossal beasts, delve into forgotten ruins, and shape the fate of nations. But sometimes, your greatest challenge comes not from a dragon, but from a man with a rumbling stomach and a very specific culinary wishlist. Welcome to 'The World of Cooking' Codex quest, a mission that looks as simple as boiling water but unfolds into a surprisingly deep (and occasionally grindy) gastronomic adventure. This quest becomes available in 2026 for players navigating Chapter 5 of the story, specifically after they've charmed Vienta Village and, more importantly, completed a prior fishing errand for the ever-present Adventurer Pro Percy called 'The Romance of Fishing'. Only after you've delivered eight fish of any kind—snagged from the village docks or the nearby cliffside pond—will Percy deem you worthy of handling his kitchen requests.

The core objective? To prove you're more than just a sword-swinging, spell-slinging hero. Percy wants you to embrace your inner chef and cook three specific meals for him. 🍳 This can be done at any campfire scattered across the realm, though a conveniently located (if slightly dangerous) one sits just south of Vienta Village. Just be prepared to swat away some pesky Desert Cobras and other local wildlife before you can peacefully light your fire. The true 'fun' begins when you realize you can't just whip up these dishes. Nope. In Throne and Liberty, cooking is a proper skill tree, and Percy's menu is locked behind significant progress. You'll need to level up your cooking proficiency by making simpler meals to gain experience, unlocking new recipes as you go.

Here’s the not-so-secret menu and the required chef levels:

• Laslan Style Fish Stew – Unlocks at Cooking Level 3.

• Fish Pottage – Unlocks at Cooking Level 7.

• Fish Steak – The grand finale, unlocked at Cooking Level 8.

That's right. To complete this seemingly straightforward quest, you must become a Level 8 Master Chef. This involves a fair bit of repetitive cooking, turning your inventory into a makeshift pantry as you grind for those precious skill points. Once you've achieved the necessary culinary prestige, the real ingredient hunt begins. Percy's recipes aren't for the faint of heart or the poorly stocked.

For the Laslan Style Fish Stew (Level 3), you'll need to gather:

The Fish Pottage (Level 7) requires a more sophisticated palette of items:

• Fish (Choose one): Ballan Wrasse x1, Barracuda x1, Banded Butterflyfish x3, Talon Moray Eel x3, Amberjack x3, Silver Anchovy x5, or Pink Cod x5.

• Dairy & Aromatics: Milk x1, Garlic x5.

• The Fancy Green: Celery x1. (Because every stew needs a crunchy vegetable, apparently).

Finally, the pièce de résistance, the Fish Steak (Level 8). This dish demands only the finest catches and herbs:

• Prime Fish Selection (Pick one): Belphoret Bass x1, Fonsine Barracuda x1, Arowana x3, or Largemouth Bass x5.

• Herb Garden Raid: Basil x3, Garlic x5.

So, you've spent hours fishing, foraging, and leveling your cooking skill from 'burnt offering' to 'master chef'. You've assembled the ingredients and cooked each dish to perfection over a campfire you defended from serpentine interlopers. What now? The final, most satisfying step: waltzing back to Adventurer Pro Percy in Vienta Village, presenting your culinary masterpieces, and watching that Codex entry finally, blissfully, check itself off your list. It's a quest that teaches a valuable, if slightly sardonic, life lesson: sometimes, saving the world requires a perfectly seasoned fish steak. 🎣➡️🍽️
