The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero

Creative Cooks Wanted!

By
Ben Chard

Walkthrough for the Creative Cooks Wanted! request on Chapter 4 Day 1 of The Legend of Heroes: Trails From Zero. Details on how to get maximum DP by waiting until the Finale chapter to complete the request.

Creative Cooks Wanted is a request you accept in Chapter 4 Day 1, but should complete during the Finale.

How to Start Creative Cooks Wanted!

Creative Cooks Wanted! is a request that you can begin by examining the computer in the SSS HQ on Chapter 4 Day 1. This request is a bit of an odd one, as although you can start it on Chapter 4 Day 1, if you wish to get maximum DP and the final Recipe in the game, you need to wait until the start of the Finale Chapter.

The reason for this, is the fact that you are awarded more DP for handing over more peculiar dishes, and you’ll need the final two Recipes you can earn at the start of the Finale. Once you’re in the Finale, make your way to Vingt-Sept in Central Square and head into the kitchen, you’ll find Salteo to your left who will give you details on the request.

Speak to Salteo in Vingt-Sept’s kitchen to begin the request.

How to Complete Creative Cooks Wanted!

This is a rather simple, but time-consuming request to complete, but its rewards are twofold as you’ll also be one recipe away from an Achievement. Salteo is after peculiar dishes, these are the ones you obtain when cooking a recipe with a character that has the least stars. This will be the recipe on the bottom of the recipe page when you cook them. You can make this easier by equipping the Prankster Quartz, this will increase the chances that your dish will be a peculiar one.

In order to get the maximum amount of DP for this request, and the reason why you should leave until the Finale to complete it, is to hand over 23 peculiar dishes. This is every recipe you can obtain in Trails from Zero save for the final one you’ll get here for achieving that feat.

Mira should be a lot easier to come by at this stage of the game, and you can either buy the ingredients (most from the grocery store in Times Department Store) or trade for them (monster ingredients at Neinvalli in Downtown District). Of course, you can also save and reload if you don’t get the desired effect to save on ingredients, this will just take a little longer.

(1 of 3) The goal is to cook all 23 peculiar dishes so use the character with the lowest stars to cook

Once you have made one of all 23 peculiar dishes, return to Salteo and hand them over to complete the request. As a bonus, for handing over Reflect Liquid, the peculiar variant of Rich Cream Soup, you’ll obtain the final recipe, Ripe Onion Soup. With this final recipe, you’ll obtain the Hail to the Chef Achievement, and you can finally create the final superb and peculiar dishes to obtain two further Achievements. This will also most likely be the final request you have left to complete too, at which point you will most likely obtain the Your Friendly Neighborhood SSS Achievement.
