A late-game set of Cookbooks in Elden Ring, these will add plenty more options to your arsenal and as such are well worth collecting. These include special aromatics and spraymists that buff your Tarnished character and debuff the enemy, as well as powerful consumables that harness the power of lightning.

These items teach you new recipes so that you can craft items using the resources you find in the Lands Between. Cookbooks containing restorative items, ammunition, and items that boost utility within the game are all found dotted across the map, and here’s where you’ll find all four Ancient Dragon Apostle’s and Perfumer’s Cookbooks.

How To Craft Items Using Cookbooks

Every time you collect a Cookbook, its contents will be added to the list of possible items you can craft through the menu. However, before you get into crafting for yourself, you’ll need to get your hands on a Crafting Kit.

Just as well we have a guide on where to find that Crafting Kit as quickly as possible, eh?
