Cooking in Genshin Impact is a great way to give characters a stat boost during tough encounters, and it can even be used to restore health and stamina in certain situations as well. Unsurprisingly, many of the dishes in the game require raw meat to make, but stocking up on a lot of raw meat isn't always the easiest task.

Regarding what drops raw meat, the answer is exceedingly obvious. Most of Genshin Impact's wildlife will drop a few pieces of raw meat, with the exception that birds drop fowl instead. The most straightforward way to get raw meat is to hunt wild animals around Teyvat.

Updated on January 27, 2022, by Nahda Nabiilah: When it comes to making dishes in Genshin Impact, many ingredients are more widely used than some others. For example, many foods require raw meat, fowl, and fish but only two cuisines demand Horsetails. Because of this, if players enjoy cooking in Genshin Impact, they'll find that they run out of some materials far faster than the others. For those who ran out of raw meat stock and are looking for quick farming, here are some easy ways to get raw meat in Genshin Impact.

Raw Meat Sources In Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact Hunting Boards With Venti

There are three reliable ways to get raw meat; by hunting animals, purchasing from a shop, or via expeditions. So, players should pick the method that works best for them. The more raw meat players have on hand, the more meals they'll be able to cook when at a campfire, so it never hurts to get as much as possible.

Brightcrown Canyon

As previously mentioned, the primary way to get raw meat is to hunt animals, but there is one location that works exceptionally well for this. In the area around Brightcrown Canyon, tons of Boars can be found roaming the highlands. Players need to be careful, as these creatures will run off if they see one of their own killed, so it's important to be quick. To make this easier, here are a few tips:

  • Anemo character like Venti can easily pull animals into their vortex
  • Use Ganyu for her AoE Charged Attack hits, or Bow character to hunt from afar
  • Having Aloy in the party allows people to get pretty close to the animals

Next, around Tianqiu Valley, players can find many types of creatures. Both the northern and southern part accommodates Boars, Foxes, and Squirrels alike.

Starfell Lake

Stone Gate is the border between Mondstadt and Liyue. Travelers can utilize the Pale Flame domain to reach the area. There, they will find various kinds of animals that drop raw meats.

Snowboar In Dragonspine

Other than getting raw meat immediately, players can also process one chilled meat to get one raw meat. To get the frozen pork, players can bring a Pyro character across the shore east of Dragonspine.

The Great Snowboar King

For those looking for more challenges, the Great Snowboar King will drop six to ten chilled meat. Assuming players manage to defeat it, that is.

Purchase From Draff In Springvale

For those that don't fancy the idea of hunting Boars to near extinction, raw meat can also be bought with Mora, but players won't find it on the menu in the Good Hunter. Instead, warp to Springvale in the Mondstadt region and speak with Draff.

As long as players talk to him during the daytime, they can browse his shop and find raw meat among his wares. He's currently the only shopkeeper that sells this resource, and it costs 240 Mora per piece. He also has a daily limit of 10 raw meat.

Send Characters On Expeditions

Finally, players can also get raw meat from expeditions. There are currently two expeditions (one in Windrise, and another in Musoujin Gorge) that reward raw meat for completion, so players can get 16-24 raw meat every 20 hours with this method. Of course, this time can be reduced by using either Fischl, Kujou Sara, or Bennett for their reduced expedition time.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
