Pax Dei: Best Foods To Use

Pax Dei is an upcoming open world sandbox game which is currently in development. Its Early Access version was made available recently on Steam. One of the best features of this game is that it is online. Which means you can explore the vast world it offers with other players.

Food items (consumables) are an important aspect of this game. Which is why cooking has a dedicated skill which you can try to max out by cooking different foods. This guide will show you the best foods that you need to start using in order to get even better in the game.

Best Foods To Use

Before I talk more about the foods, if you are still new to the game and would like to get familiar with game faster, then check out this guide: Pax Dei: Complete Beginner’s Guide | Crafting, Building, Resources, NPCs & Combat.

Now, there are two main categories of foods in this game. The first category of foods are the ones that you can find in the open world and use them without any other requirement. And the second category of foods are the ones that you need to cook. Best foods of both categories are mentioned below:
