Cooking and crafting in Tie (Second Light) is one of the important key elements that help you complete quests, cook food, gain Talent Points, and much more. This page will go into detail more about the cooking information specifically.

Ao Hoshizaki, a main character in the Second Light, will receive different requests throughout the game from the other characters. The characters will work alongside Ao to craft up a new recipe and make certain foods. Completing these requests is the only way for the player to earn Talent Points.

When Ao cooks/crafts up new recipes the other characters gain a higher status. This helps in unlocking higher healing powers and improving on their Ether Recovery Speed.

Each recipe will have its own effect when used or consumed. The effects are shown before the characters craft/cook the recipe. Certain characters combinations will boost the effects when crafting their items.

Where to cook

All food items are made in the workroom at the crafting table (blue glowing table). Walk up to the table and press the interact button to begin your craft.

How cooking works

Cooking allows you to make new items from the materials that you've gathered. Found recipes are saved in your Memory List.

Select the required materials to make the recipe, if you do not have the right recipe's they will not show on the page. The game has a built-in sorting system, you can either sort by item or by category.

Once you complete the recipe making, a cutscene will play as the chosen characters "craft" the recipe together in excitement. Once the process is complete, you can use the recipe/craft in your menu.

After selecting a memory, choose the amount of the same recipe that you would like to create. Once you have chosen the amount, you will be taken to the materials page.
