How to unlock Chef in Risk of Rain Returns

Are you ready to slice through enemies like a seasoned chef in Risk of Rain Returns? Unlocking Chef, one of the most brutal characters in the game, may seem daunting, but with the right strategy, you can add his agile hands and sharp knives to your arsenal. Here’s how to unlock Chef in Risk of Rain Returns.

How to unlock Chef in Risk of Rain Returns

To unlock Chef in Risk of Rain Returns, you must collect five specific items during one playthrough. These items are:

• Bitter Root 
• Bustling Fungus
• Foreign Fruit
• Meat Nugget 
• Sprouting Egg

Although it’s important to have all the required items in your inventory, you don’t necessarily have to keep Foreign Fruit equipped for the entire run. Just picking it up once will still count towards unlocking Chef. One valuable item that can greatly assist you in unlocking Chef is the Artifact of Command.

This artifact, found in the fourth level, can be a game-changer. By activating this artifact, you gain the power to choose what awaits you in each chest, eliminating the randomness of item drops. With the Artifact of Command in hand, you can strategically open chests and select the items you need. This eliminates the need to rely solely on luck and increases your chances of obtaining the required cooking ingredients within a single playthrough.

Once you have gathered all five ingredients— Meat Nugget, Bustling Fungus, Sprouting Egg, Bitter Root, and Foreign Fruit, you will unlock this powerful Chef. He has agile hands and sharp knives, which will aid you in cutting through your enemies effortlessly.
