sona_11 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I just got the platinum that made me nearly lose my mind, so I decided to give you some tips for the last 10 recipes. 1- The rumor about the NPCs should visit you 50 times is wrong. Why ? Because I tested it myself 2- Each NPC have a favorite dish that is not related to their stories ( you can talk to them and they will tell what they like indirectly) Poncho: Satay Celis: hot spicy - rice curry Rosetta: sweet cold Maurice: hot spicy - man’s curry (I’m not sure of the name) Hugh: meat ( i’m not really sure sorry) Ginji: bitter cold - potato salad Chou Chou- sweet - green salad, chocolate sundae Miere: cold - fruit salad Lanch: warm sweet - muffin Dr.Zeff: Bouillabaisse 3- after long time of serving and waiting, the NPCs will start to ask for their dishes that are related to their stories, this means that you’re a little close for them to give you their recipes 4- It’s better for the served dish to be of high quality so they give you a good review ( the review is important ) 5- To not waste ingredients, put in the menu a dish that can’t be made and when the NPC visit the cafe, add their favorite dish and serve it to them I hope that helped you a little Edited January 14, 2019 by sona_11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandbw1138 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Just going to add my experience though I have no concrete answers. Definitely did not need to learn secret ingredients or have their special dish on the menu. Was reloading when no NPCs showed up so items on the menu did not appear to determine who should up. Unfortunately I did not track how many reviews/whether they liked the dish. I did track the number of visits: Poncho 46, Huey 64, Rosetta 49, Celis 53, Chou Chou 78, Genji 80, Zeff 78, Lanche 92, Maurice 88 and Miere 74. This is the order I got them in since Miere's rate of spawn was much lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeleia Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Still need 5 recipes but if it can help here's how I get 5 stars reviews from the last story characters (not sure about the dishes names in english sorry) : - Maurice : manly curry (his story dish), spicy - Ginji : bouillabaisse, bitter - Miere : fruit pie (it's in the "bread" section), cold - Chouchou & Lanche : mont blanc (secret recipe from Rosetta), sweet - Dr Zeff : energy soup (his story dish), bitter Other recipe could also work, that's just the ones I use to get 5 stars reviews. Not sure if the ingredient quality impacts the review, but I try using the best ingredients I can to make the dishes " +2 " or " +3 " quality. If you run out of ingredients just use different ones the important thing is the overall taste (sweet, salty, etc) of the dish, it has to fit what the character like. Also it's important to note that if your cook starts dancing with a sad face emoji, he WILL fail the dish he's currently preparing, even if you talk to him immediately, resulting in "it was better last time" 2 stars reviews. To prevent that, I found that giving the order right after Ipanema does it works pretty well, as Luccola is less likely to get in a bad mood between two successive orders. Basically you take the story character's order, you wait for Ipanema to put in her current order and then you do the same. Then check on Luccola: if he starts preparing the food normally, leave him be, but if he starts smiling and dancing go talk to him immediately. The first order will be ruined, but that won't matter because that's Ipanema's order and not the one for the story character. Hope that helps because the grind for the last recipes is such a pain...

fated_reverie Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Hello~! Thank you all so much for the information. I'm afraid I'm struggling as I have served Huey 60+ times, but he still won't give me his recipe. :/ Have there been any updates as to what triggers the NPC's to give out their recipes?

I had to serve the majority of them between 70-110 times (successfully) in the post-game in order to get all the recipes.

Tia431 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hi! I’m struggling with getting the remaining recipes, just wondering what the 5 star reviews look like from the characters? Any tips welcome! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vira-Kbca Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone, everything all right? I am trying to get the platinum trophy, already got 3/10 recipes (poncho, huey and Rosetta) but got stuck on these three. All my recipes to the story npc get rate 5 reviews, they even call for their story dishes but i think its taking too long. anyone already have found the trigger to the recipes?

MattPieti Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Just got my last 10 recipes. It took me about 3-4 days of mostly nonstop (except for sleep) monitoring the cafe. I used OP's suggestion of leaving only a dish that cannot be made on my menu to save ingredients until the important customers came. Here were the dishes I used for each of them, albeit with some slight change over time: Poncho: Well-Salted Satay +3 Celis: Slightly Spicy Curry Rice +3 Rosetta: Very Sweet Panna Cotta +3 Maurice: Slightly Spicy Man's Curry +3 Huey: Well-Salted Zucchi Cutlet +1 Ginji: Slightly Bitter Potato Salad +2 Chou Chou- Very Sweet Chocolate Sundae +3 Miere: Slightly Spicy Fruit Salad +3 Lanche: Very Sweet Muffin +2 Dr. Zeff: Slightly Bitter Bouillabaisse +3 And this was my order of major milestones: 1. Poncho asking for story food 2. Huey asking for story food 3. Rosetta asking for story food 4. Celis asking for story food 5. Lasagna recipe from Huey 6. Steak recipe from Poncho 7. Ginji asking for story food 8. Maurice asking for story food 9. Miere asking for story food 10. Lanche asking for story food 11. Chou Chou asking for story food 12. Dr. Zeff asking for story food 13? Gelato recipe from Lanche (didn't notice this one, but I think it would have been #12 or #13) 14. Cream Cake recipe from Rosetta 15. Seafood Bowl recipe from Ginji 16. Fruit Sundae recipe from Miere 17. Spaghetti recipe from Dr. Zeff 18. Tom Yam Kung recipe from Celis 19. Keema Curry recipe from Maurice 20. Acqua Pazza recipe from Chou Chou It took me several hours before anyone started asking me for their story food, then another several hours before I was given a recipe. For most of them, I estimate that I gave them over 20 instances of their story dish before they gave me their recipe, but a few of them took less than 10. I made huge progress on my third day, starting with 2/10 recipes and another ~5 characters asking me for their story dish, and finishing the day with 9/10 recipes and only about an hour left after i woke up the next day for the final one. In short, you have to put a good amount of time in before you start seeing serious progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphioon Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 This recipe trophy took far longer then i expected, this thread was a big help on trying to get the 5 star reviews, but some of the recommended recipes didnt work for me at all, so i wanted to list the characters in order that i completed, alongside what recipe + ingredients got me the max review, some of these took a bit of experimentation Poncho Supreme Well-Salted Satay +2 Lucky Yaki Meat Thick Soy Sauce Zucchi Short Rib Thick Soy Sauce Moray Eel Huey Supreme Well-Salted Zucchi Cutlet +2 Zucchi Short Rib Volcanic Rock Salt Moray Eel Celis Supreme Slightly Spicy Curry Rice +2 Garam Masala Fluffy Rice Ginger Chili Pepper Habanero Rosetta Supreme Very Sweet Panna Cotta +3 Fresh Cream Arapaima Cauliflower Corn Dr. Zeff Supreme Acquired Tasting Bouillabaisse +2 Sweetfish Char Carp Tilapia Ginji Supreme Refreshing Potato Salad +2 Potato Balsamic Vinegar Tilapia Freshwater Sweetfish Walnut Maurice Supreme Slightly Spicy Man's Curry +3 Garam Masala Zucchi Roast Yaki White Liver Fresh Grouper Lanche Supreme Very Sweet Muffin +2 Light Flour Mango Sugar Pumpkin Miere (she was tough to figure out, she likes warm and sour food) Supreme Refreshing Tomato Soup +3 Tomato Tomato Shiny Egg Fresh Grouper Chou Chou Supreme Very Sweet Mont Blanc Chestnut Fresh Cream Fluffy Rice Red Kidney Beans I hope this helps someone. I'm also very sure that the ingredients used impacts the review, i can have an identical dish in every way, having the same sweetness and +modifier as well as being supreme and the same number of 'musical notes' on it, but give radically different reviews constantly, i would bet that each ingredient has a hidden 'crunchiness' or 'sticky' modifier, that or each character has a hidden list of likes and dislikes for every ingredient separately. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokupe Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) adding my statistics for future struggling hunters: order is when I got the recipes, first number is how many visits until recipe, second number is when they started asking for story food, third number is story foods asked for and given: Poncho 41/-/- Huey 54/-/- Celis 39/11/15 Rosetta 47/11/18 Miere 63/42/6 Maurice 69/26/- Genji 55/32/11 Dr Zeff 59/54/3 Chou Chou 62/25/19 Lanche 68/55/7 I didn't check with Poncho and Huey for food since they are the fastest to do anyway, and left Maurice alone after the first food asked for. Additionally I only served Poncho 4 star 4 review foods. It seems to me like it made no difference at all whether the food was good or you gifted them anything. I assume the different numbers are because story visits count too, even if you don't get a recipe until postgame. Good luck to everyone still going for this. I'm glad I'm done. Edited October 8, 2023 by Hokupe forgot additional review info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
