Who Cooked This?

Who Cooked This? is a demo achievement: find and eat the mysterious meal behind a false wall in the starting dungeon, in the room where you pick up the Endu Shrine Gate Key. The full game has no achievement with that name. The meal is still there, and it permanently raises your stats.

Demo unlock versus the release meal

On the demo app the achievement pops when you eat the meal. On the release, two full lists — an English trophy site and a Chinese trophy site — simply do not have the name. I went through those lists looking for a rename and I will not guess that Oh the Places You'll Go or any other line is the substitute. If a rename exists, it is not established.

The food itself survived. The starter guide and the early-weapon guide both treat the hidden plates as permanent bonuses, the same family as a roasted bird that raises maximum health. They do not print the exact bonus on this particular plate. Eat it for the bump. Do not expect a trophy toast in the full game.

Finding the wall

Stand in the key room, the one with the Endu Shrine Gate Key on the shrine. Face the right wall, near the broken pedestal and the shrubs. That is the same wall as Pandora's Blade, which is why one visit can collect the key, the sword and the plate if you interact more than once. The reticle brightens. Press the interact control. Swinging is the usual miss, and so is assuming the plate is behind the shrine guardian.

A second plate is described once, outside the first boss arena, beside a skeleton that points at the plaster. I am keeping that as one source. A note on the plate is mentioned and not quoted, so I am not inventing a recipe or a signature. You can walk back to the starting dungeon later. I have no source that calls the plate missable.

FAQ

I ate it in the demo. Does the full game remember?

Demo saves do not carry. Eat it again in the release if you want the stat bump. The achievement will not repeat, because the achievement is not in the release list.

What stats does it add?

The guides say a permanent increase and do not print the numbers. I left the numbers out.
