Quick Links

Elden Ring is a massive game, one that drops you into a huge world with very little instruction on where to go. From curative items to throwable weapons, one way to get hold of items to help you on your journey is to craft them yourself from the vast amount of resources found in the world.

Many items are locked from the start, and you’ll need to find Cookbooks to teach you the recipes to craft them. Some of these are easy to find, while others will require a bit of guile or supreme speedrunning skills. Here’s where you’ll find all 24 Nomadic Warrior’s Cookbooks.

Updated July 28, 2022: We've updated this article to include a video guide that shows you where to find all of the Nomadic Warrior's Cookbooks throughout the Lands Between.

How To Craft Items Using Cookbooks

Elden Ring Cookbook

Once you’ve found a Cookbook, the recipes for the items contained within are automatically added to your repertoire. However, before you can get going and make these items you’ll need to find the Crafting Kit item. When obtained, a new option will appear in the menu.

For a full explanation on how to craft items, as well as where to find the Crafting Kit, we’ve put together a dedicated guide for you to follow.

Watch out for the enemies here, and collect the Cookbook from the corpse sitting on the edge of the raised platform.
