In Resident Evil Village, there are 6 cooking ingredients and 6 cooking recipes and in this guide, we will tell you the locations of all cooking Ingredients so that you can make every dish that is available in Resident Evil Village.
All Resident Evil Village Cooking Ingredients Location
After you get the second Winged Key part and meet the Duke during the story, cooking will be unlocked. After that at Duke Merchant’s Shop, you will be able to cook dishes. During the story, you will get permanent boosts by the cooking recipes, that carry over to New Game+. You will get more health and also run faster by using these cooking recipes, which is very useful for the hardest difficulty mode. When you get the option for cooking, all cooking recipes will be unlocked right away. However, you can’t find some of the ingredients until later in the story. Don’t Sell cooking ingredients because they are limited. You can only get one special high-quality ingredient per playthrough, and very few animals spawn during a playthrough.

Where To Find Cooking Ingredients
Cooking ingredients that are located inside the village are obtainable before the Story’s point of no return, however, after some progression in the story, the locations of a couple of regular ingredients become unavailable.

Location #3 – Cave
When you do the first boat ride in the area of Moreau, after getting the boat key, you will find the fish inside a cave on the right side of the path there. These are missable because you cannot get back to this area once you have been past it.

Location # 1 – Church Graveyard
Go to the northeast of the church through the Iron Insignia Key gate and there you will find two chickens running around.
