Food recipes that you create in Dragon Quest Builders 2 have different properties that separate them into different tiers. Some of the recipes are well-rounded, while others are best at helping you in specific fights. It is something many players fail to realize, but it can change the game, especially when completing a boss fight.

It is important to understand the different tiers and which food recipes give you the biggest boost for each one. Your game will change when you begin understanding the food recipe tiers in Dragon Quest Builders 2.

10 Decrease Hunger

One of the common tiers among all the recipes is a decrease in hunger, as every food has some effect on this aspect of your character. Some are terrible and only decrease it by five or ten percent, which is something beginners should all know, but others will almost completely decrease your hunger.

The best foods you can eat to help with hunger are as follows:

9 Increase HP

When you enter into a fight with monsters you will often take some damage which can decrease your HP, especially when completing the quest called Sowing the Seeds of Success.

Luckily, there are some foods to help you regenerate it, but these foods are often lacking when it comes to decreasing your hunger. You should equip yourself with them before major monster fights so you can increase your health in a flash.

The best food recipes to increase your HP include:

8 Attack Up

The food recipes that increase your attack all raise it to the same level, and the same goes for any recipe that gives you a perk. However, the difference comes into play when looking at the health and hunger stats. Attack Up is great when you are entering a fight as it will permit you to do more damage per hit.

Here are the best food recipes (Hunger/HP) that give you the Attack Up perk:

7 Defense Up

The Defense Perk will allow you to retain more of your health when you take a hit when fighting monsters. This is great when facing off against Super Strong Monsters who can kill you in a single hit.

The best food recipes (Hunger/HP) that give you the Defense Up perk are as follows:

6 Destruction Up

Destruction Up might sound like it will aid you against monsters, but it’s actually for resource collection. When you eat food that gives you this perk it will allow you to break blocks and items with your mallet more quickly. This is especially useful when you need Castle Blocks or Marble that require several hits in order to break.

The food recipes (Hunger/HP) that give you the Destruction Up perk include: 

5 Increased Swim Speed

It can be a hassle to make your way through the water, especially when you find that you went too deep and now a monster is preparing to kill you. Luckily, a few food recipes can help you when you are in a pinch by increasing your swim speed.

The food recipes (Hunger/HP) that will boost your swim speed are as follows: 

4 Paralysis Immunity

Some monsters can cause you to become paralyzed if they hit you, but some food recipes can prevent this side effect. The paralysis gives the monsters a chance to beat you while you are down, and now they won’t have a chance to take advantage of you.

Here are the food recipes (Hunger/HP) that prevent paralysis:

3 Sleep Immunity

If you have ever been hit by a cloud spewed from a monster and fallen over into a deep sleep, then this is the food recipe you should be making. There might only be one you can whip up, but it will prevent this from happening so you are never knocked off your feet in the middle of a fight ever again.

The food recipes (Hunger/HP) that give you Sleep Immunity are as follows:

2 Poison Immunity

It is easy to become poisoned in Dragon Quest Builders 2, especially late in the game. There are a few food recipes that can help cure this ailment when you acquire it, as well as prevent you from being poisoned in the first place, like when you are trying to complete Lulu’s demands.

Here are the two food recipes (Hunger/HP) that give you Poison Immunity:

1 Confusion Immunity

There are two food recipes that will give you Confusion Immunity, and this will prevent any monsters from mixing up your controls. When you are confused it will turn right into left and forward into backward, but this food will ensure this doesn’t happen.

The food recipes that give you Confusion Immunity are as follows:
