Cooking also has its very own tutorial in Crimson Desert in the form of Renee’s Request. In it, you must fix up three servings of Fish Porridge, for which you’re given the recipe and required ingredients.

In this guide, we’ll show how to cook this dish and complete Renee’s Request, which is surprisingly easy to get a handle on compared to some other Crimson Desert gameplay mechanics.

How To Start Renee’s Request

To start Renee’s Request, speak to the butcher Renee at the marked location shown on the map in Hernand. There is a fair chance she will not offer the quest right away, much like Annabella’s Request, so do not be surprised if she has nothing for you at first.

In that case, it helps to clear a few pending requests or push the main story forward a bit. You should also check the notice board from time to time, as new quests tend to show up there when you least expect them.

Once Renee finally has a request for you, you can begin and finish it on the spot. The task itself is simple, as you only need to prepare three servings of Fish Porridge to wrap this quest up. As mentioned, she’ll fix you up with the recipe and required ingredients.

How To Cook Fish Porridge In Crimson Desert

To actually cook the Fish Porridge, you must learn the recipe first. You can do this by heading into your inventory and finding it under the Crafting Manual drop-down.

Examining it brings it out from your inventory, after which you can press LB or L1, or Ctrl on keyboard, to learn it.

Following are the required ingredients to cook Fish Porridge.

• 1x Grain (lentils, peas, beans etc)
• 2x Fish Fillet
• 1x Salt
• 3x Water

If you lost the ingredients for whatever reason, you can buy more from Hernand’s Grocer Shop, but you’ll need to source the Fish Fillet by skinning fish you catch.

Once you have everything set up, head to the cooking pot near Renee’s Butchery and light it up. The Field Cooking Tool menu will appear, and from there, you need to cycle through the recipe tabs using RT/R2 or Z/C on the keyboard until you reach the Field Pot Cooking tab.

In that tab, you will see a few variations of Fish Porridge, but for Renee’s Request, you want to stick with the basic version to avoid wasting ingredients. So select Fish Porridge (Fish Fillet), then press Y/Triangle, or R on keyboard, and choose to cook three servings to complete the objective.

Renee’s Request Rewards

After cooking the dish, head back to Renee and hand over the Fish Porridge to complete the quest. As usual, you are rewarded with an inventory slot expansion, along with two Barley.
