One of the best features of the Alloyed Collective DLC is Risk of rain 2 introduction of cooking mechanics.
This feature allows you to combine different ingredients to create different items, and some of them can be extremely beneficial to your chances of survival. While there are many items to craft, this guide will briefly give you an idea of the best ones.
Best Risk of Rain: 2 Items to Craft
The table below provides information on what I consider to be the best items to craft. These items are useful in any circumstance, so they are very important to have.
| Element | Recipe |
|---|---|
| Charged hammer drill | ACT + Tesla/Capacitor |
| Empathy Cores | Box of dynamites + turret key |
| H3AD-5T v2 | Combine any two of Quail, Feather and Spur. |
| Shattersplin | Poisonous Thorn + Will-o'-the-wisp |
| Pocket ICBM | ATG+ Disposable rocket launcher |
| Disposable rocket launcher | ATG + fuel cell |
| ATG Mk missile. 1 | Sticky bomb + fireworks |
| Recycler | Chaos Bottle + Fuel Cell |
| The Ultimate Meal | Clover + Bottle of Chaos (other options work too, but I have yet to test them) |
| Covering the cerebellum | Encrypted Cerebellum + Empathy Cores/Inlaid Key/Orphaned Core/Rusty Key/Prison Matrix/Guard Key |
Of all the foods in this table, I prefer to cook H3AD-5T and Ultimate Meal whenever possible. The latter is quite cheap to do and increases your overall luck. Luck is extremely useful for your runs, no matter what build you use.
Some of these, like the Charged Hammer and Empathy Cores, are boss items, but you'll need them to get deeper into your runs.
Cerebellum Enveloped is the most unique of all the recipes. You will need Encrypted cerebellum (dropped by Solus Wing) and combine it with the other items shown in the table. Encompassed Cerebellum allows you to unlock a hidden final boss in the form of Solus Heart and will help you reach the true ending of Alloyed Collective.
How to cook items in Risk of Rain 2
After you defeat Solus Wing, you will be able to access Computational exchange region. You will find the Chief behind a glitchy wall. Provide him with the right ingredients and he will prepare the right food for you.
You can create different items and they should be based on your needs. I'll be updating this guide with more recipes as I explore more levels and try different builds.
