The Ultimate Guide to Getting Fried Chicken in Spiritfarer: Everything You Need to Know

Are you stuck trying to figure out how to make that delicious fried chicken in Spiritfarer? Maybe you’re helping Atul complete his quest, or perhaps you just wanna make some comfort food for your spirit friends. Either way, I’ve got your back! As someone who’s spent wayyy too many hours playing this beautiful management sim, I can tell you exactly how to get that crispy goodness cooked up on your boat.

Why Would You Need Fried Chicken Anyway?

Before we dive into the cooking process you might be wondering why you’d even need to make fried chicken in the first place. Well in Spiritfarer, you’re basically helping various spirits come to terms with their fate and move on to the afterlife. One of these spirits is Atul, a big blue frog who LOVES good food.

During Atul’s questline he’ll specifically request fried chicken as part of his “Fishing Trip” request. So if you’re trying to help this jolly amphibian cross over, you’re gonna need to learn how to make this dish.

But that’s not all! Fried chicken is classified as a “Comfort Dish” in the game, and it can be given to any spirit who eats animal products. It’s a large-sized dish too, so it’ll fill them up real good!

What You’ll Need to Make Fried Chicken

Before you can start cooking, there’s several things you’ll need to have:

1. An Upgraded Kitchen – You can’t make fried chicken with just the basic kitchen
2. Chicken – The main ingredient (duh!)
3. Fat – Either Olive Oil or Sunflower Oil will work

Let’s break down how to get each of these components.

Upgrading Your Kitchen

First things first, you need an upgraded kitchen. Luckily, if you’re making fried chicken for Atul, this step should already be taken care of. Why? Because Atul himself gives you the blueprint for the kitchen upgrade during his quest called “Big Stove.”

To complete the upgrade, you’ll need to gather:

• 5 Bright Jellies
• 8 Lightning in a Bottle
• 12 Linen Fabrics

Here’s how to get each resource:

Bright Jellies

These come from the Jellyfish mini-game with Gwen (your first spirit friend). Jump from the rooftops of your boat buildings to catch the green jellyfish floating by – these drop Bright Jellies. The gold ones only give you Glim, so focus on the green ones!

Lightning in a Bottle

This resource is actually unlocked with Atul himself. Make sure you have empty bottles in your inventory, then sail into a stormy area. You’ll have the chance to collect lightning during the storm event.

Linen Fabrics

You’ll need to build a Loom first (blueprint available at Albert’s Shipyard). Once you have that, you can make Linen Fabric from plant fibers.

Once you’ve gathered all these materials, you can upgrade your kitchen and be one step closer to that crispy fried chicken!

Getting Chicken

Now, this is where things get a bit tricky. Unlike many other ingredients in Spiritfarer, you can’t simply grow or collect chicken naturally. Even if you have a chicken coop on your boat, it only gives you eggs, not actual chicken meat.

To get chicken, you’ll need to purchase it from a merchant for 100 Glim. But not just any merchant – there are only specific places where you can buy it.

The easiest place to find chicken is from the Raccoon Inc. merchant on Nordweiler Island. This island is located in the northern region of the map, but here’s the catch – you can’t just sail there from the beginning of the game.

To reach Nordweiler, your ship needs the Icebreaker upgrade because the northern islands are surrounded by ice. Getting this upgrade requires:

1. Visiting Albert’s Shipyard
2. Having a spirit flower (which you get when a spirit passes on)
3. Purchasing the Icebreaker upgrade

So yeah, it’s a bit of a process. But once you’ve got your ship upgraded, head to Nordweiler and buy that chicken!

Getting Fat (Oil)

The second ingredient you need is “Fat,” which is actually a category that includes both Olive Oil and Sunflower Oil. Either one works perfectly fine for the recipe, so choose whichever is easier for you to get!

To make oil, you’ll need:

1. A Crusher building on your boat
2. Either olives or sunflower seeds

The Crusher building becomes available when you meet Bruce and Mickey later in the game. Once you’ve built it, you can use it to crush olives or sunflower seeds into oil.

Getting Olives

You can buy olives from the merchant at Edgeborough Lane, or grow them yourself by planting Olive Seeds in an orchard.

Getting Sunflower Seeds

These can be:

• Found in random crates throughout the world
• Purchased from merchants
• Grown in your garden (which gives you more seeds per harvest)

After crushing either of these ingredients, you’ll get a nice bottle of oil ready for cooking!

Putting It All Together: Cooking Fried Chicken

Now that you’ve got all the necessary components, it’s time to actually cook that fried chicken! Here’s a simple step-by-step:

1. Make sure your kitchen is upgraded
2. Open the cooking interface
3. Add the raw chicken to the pot
4. Add either Olive Oil or Sunflower Oil
5. Cook and wait for it to finish

Voilà! You’ve got yourself some delicious fried chicken that’s “eat by the bucket” good, according to the game’s description.

Quick Summary for the Impatient Captains

If you’re in a hurry and just want the bullet points, here ya go:

1. Upgrade your kitchen with Atul’s “Big Stove” blueprint
2. Travel to Nordweiler (requires Icebreaker ship upgrade)
3. Buy chicken from the Raccoon Inc. store (costs 100 Glim)
4. Get oil by crushing olives or sunflower seeds in the Crusher
5. Combine chicken and oil in your upgraded kitchen

What Can You Do With Fried Chicken?

Once you’ve successfully made your fried chicken, you can:

• Complete Atul’s “Fishing Trip” request
• Feed it to any spirit who eats animal products
• Sell it for 390 Glim (though I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re desperate for money)

The dish is classified as a comfort food and is large-sized, so it’ll make your spirits pretty happy!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When trying to make fried chicken in Spiritfarer, there’s a few things that might trip you up:

• Not having the upgraded kitchen – This is essential, so make sure you’ve completed this step first
• Trying to get chicken from your chicken coop – Nope, you can only get eggs there, not meat
• Forgetting the Icebreaker upgrade – You’ll be staring at that ice barrier forever if you don’t get this
• Using the wrong type of oil – Remember, you need an ingredient from the “Fat” category, which means either Olive Oil or Sunflower Oil

Is It Worth All The Trouble?

You might be wondering if going through all this effort for a virtual dish of fried chicken is really worth it. If you’re trying to complete Atul’s questline, then absolutely! Atul is one of the most beloved characters in the game, and helping him find peace is a rewarding experience.

Plus, fried chicken is a versatile comfort food that many spirits enjoy, so learning to make it will serve you well throughout your journey as the new Spiritfarer.

My Personal Experience

When I first tried to make fried chicken in Spiritfarer, I was completely lost. I spent hours trying to figure out how to get chicken meat from my coop before realizing I needed to buy it! And then the whole journey to Nordweiler with the Icebreaker upgrade felt like a mini-adventure in itself.

But I gotta say, seeing Atul’s happy face when I finally served him that fried chicken made it all worthwhile. There’s something deeply satisfying about fulfilling these small requests and bringing joy to your spirit friends.

Final Thoughts

Spiritfarer is a game about caring for others and helping them on their journey through the afterlife. Cooking special meals like fried chicken is just one of the many ways you can show your love and support for the spirits on your boat.

So next time Atul asks for some fried chicken, or you just wanna make a comfort meal for your spirits, you’ll know exactly what to do! Happy cooking, fellow Spiritfarers!

To get the “fat” (Sunflower Oil or Olive Oil) needed for Fried Chicken in Spiritfarer, you must first get the Crusher building blueprint from Bruce and Mickey, then build the Crusher. Once you have the Crusher, you can crush Sunflower Seeds or olives to produce oil, which serves as the fat ingredient for the recipe.

To get chickens in Spiritfarer, you need to first build a Chicken Coop and then place an egg in its incubator. The incubator will hatch the egg into a chick, which will grow into a chicken that can then lay more eggs for you. You can find eggs to incubate either by purchasing them or by hatching them from existing chickens.
