|
| 2 | Dash through five apple trees in Queensdale on your skyscale. | 
|
|
Near Orchard Waypoint — . You need to use your skyscale's Dash through the five trees that have a collection icon on them. You will see Loose Vegetation that needs to be dashed through. Progress is tracked via  Fresh-Picked Apples tracker on your boon bar.
|
| 3 | Rummage for ramen around Jade Mech Habitation Zone 03 | 
|
|
Inside the building, interact with the Abandoned Ramen Cart, then solve a 5-step puzzle (pick the one right option instead of the four incorrect ones) to obtain the ingredient. |
| 4 | Convince Sous-Chef Seimur Oxbone to give you some bloodstone condiments. Speak with Astral Ward Culinary Specialist Torchmarrow in the Wizard's Tower to track where the sours-chef is each day. | Purchase a Jar of Finely Ground Bloodstone Dust for 4  and 250  Pile of Bloodstone Dust.
| ||
| 5 | Obtain some healthy (and edible) greenery from Narcisse in the Botanical Skygarden in Amnytas. | 
|
|
Complete the event Help Narcisse purge corruption from the plants! in  Botanical Skygarden — .
|
| 6 | Obtain a keg of norn ale from Kevach's Homestead in Wayfarer Foothills. | 
|
|
Talk to Lodge Keeper Kevach just east of Lostvyrm Cave Waypoint — and complete his heart quest.
|
| 7 | Convince Grand Archivist Vivienne in the Wizard's Vault to give you a crate of ancient eggs. | 
|
|
Just talking to Vivienne at the Wizard's Vault — and clicking through the dialogue will complete this step. She gives you instructions for the next step.
|
| 8 | Shoot the crate of ancient eggs that flies above Maelstrom's Core in Mount Maelstrom with your skyscale's Fireball skill, and pick the eggs out of the magma below before they burn. | 
|
|
While the closest waypoint is Maelstrom's Waypoint — , the flying crate of eggs is high above the volcano, requiring you to fly up the walls with a skyscale. If you have the Rift Repair mastery, you can alternatively use the Reality Rift trail starting west of Maelstrom's Core — which leads directly to the crate. Once near the Flying Crate of Ancient Eggs, simply use your skyscale's Fireball ability to break it. The eggs will fall down into the lava below, and a  Cooked Eggs buff timer will start (about 50 sec) indicating how long you have until the eggs burn. Drop down into the lava below and retrieve the eggs from the lava before the timer ends.
|
| 9 | Defeat 5 crabs with your skyscale's Fireball skill in Bloodtide Coast to flash-sear their meat. | 
|
|
Any crab seems to count, like Ornery Crabs or simply Crabs. Easiest way is to go to Mournful Waypoint — as there should be at least 5 ambient creature (white nameplate) crabs in the vicinity on the beach. Simply use your skyscale's Fireball. Progress is tracked via  Flash-Seared Crab Meat tracker on your boon bar.
|
| 10 | Obtain a chunk of karka carapace from inside Bakestone Cavern in Southsun Cove. | 
|
|
Access the Karka Hive — from the south and go up the spiral stairs past the diving goggles to the top level. There, interact with the Polished Karka Carapace and complete the 7-step Simon Says memory test to receive the item.
|
| 11 | Return to the Kryptis delegation after completing all previous steps to witness their feast. |
|
|
In the upper floor of the Outer Ring near the Tower Courtyard Waypoint — again.

Dialogue[edit]
- After talking to Astral Ward Culinary Specialist Torchmarrow
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (1): We are delegates from Nayos—
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (2): Obviously.
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (1): Here to experience the delicacies of Tyria.
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (3): Noodles! Noodles! Hot, hot noodles!
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (4): What is a "noodle"?
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (5): It is not meat, so I am not interested. The seared innards of a crustacean—I've heard tell that is a delight.
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (4): Ah, but Tyrian vegetation is quite intriguing to me. Such stunning variations in color and texture!
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (5): That sounds positively foul.
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (3): Chicken! Duck! Griffon!
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (2): I will consume anything. Well. Not my fellow Kryptis. Of course.
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (1): I apologize. We are all quite eager for this cultural exchange, as you might have gathered.
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (2): Can you procure these delicacies? This food preparation expert of yours will prepare them once they're all delivered.
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (4): We will try to save some for you. Or perhaps you will visit Nayos and partake of essence-marinated bristlefruit?
- Approaching the delegation before completion of the collection
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (4): This is taking some time. You had to ask for those torched sand...insects. Much harder to catch than vegetation.
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (5): I prey on my meal. Not graze like one of their bleating, meat-filled quadrupeds.
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (3): Hot, hot noodles will need cold, cold ale! (slurps)
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (1): Please, do not be rude to our hosts. I'm sure they are doing all in their power to meet our requests.
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate (2): Let us hope so. The little one's aroma is beginning to tempt me.
- Sous-Chef Seimur Oxbone
- (Initial dialogue based on day of the week)
All right.- (When Tyrian Taste Testing is active)
Have any spare jars of your finest bloodstone-infused condiments?
- I'm happy to share with someone who believes in my vision. Just note: sharing isn't always free.
I'll pay whatever it takes.
I'll be back later.
- No, thanks.
- Narcisse
- Wayfinder! Aren't they beautiful?
- So beautiful. Is any of this edible? Could I maybe grab some for the road?
- If you want to take anything from the garden, you must first help better the garden. I might have an opportunity for you soon enough. I can smell the corruption coming closer and closer...
- I'll do my best.
- You've done good work here.
During the event
- So beautiful. Is any of this edible? Could I maybe grab some for the road?
- Edible? Why would you_[sic]forget it. Help us cleanse this corruption, and you can take whatever you want, Wayfinder. Just hurry!
- I'll do my best.
- Lodge Keeper Kevach
- Do you mind if I take a keg of ale with me? I've heard good things.
- (If heart is not completed)
- If you want anything from me, you're going to have to help out around here. Help out the lodge, then come find me.
- I'll do my best.
- (If heart is completed)
- After everything you've done to help the lodge, I'm sure we can spare a keg for you.
- I appreciate that. Thank you.
- Grand Archivist Vivienne
- So, we're putting together a meal for the Kryptis delegation from Nayos...
- So I've heard. Can't say I'm exactly comfortable with it, but if Isgarren's fine with it, then I will be too. And who knows - maybe some of their goods will fill the vault someday. So. Why come to me?
- Do you have any eggs?
- I'm sorry, did you say eggs?
- Sure did. One of them likes eggs. The older, the better.
- The things we do for diplomacy... (sighs) Yes, there's an old crate of ancient eggs collected from under the ashes of Mount Maelstrom centuries ago. We've been saving them for a special occasion...
- Good news! This is that special occasion.
- I've heard these prepared just right are to die for. Literally - you have to cook them in hot magma.So, here's what I'll do: I'll send the crate out above the cauldron in Mount Maelstrom.
- Uh-huh...
- You'll shoot the crate with your skyscale's fireball to open it up. The eggs will fall into the magma below, and you'll need to collect them before they burn. That's on you to figure out, not me.
- Piece of cake. Or egg, I guess. I'm off to Mount Maelstrom!
- Good luck. Please, try not to waste them. I'd prefer not to send another scouting party to any volcanic region to get more eggs like this.
- I'll do my best!
- On second thought, I'll ask later.
- On second thought, I'll ask later.
- On second thought, I'll ask later.
- On second thought, I'll ask later.
- On second thought, I'll ask later.
- That'd be correct. I'll be leaving now.
- Upon Event Completion
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate: Have you tried the egg? The stench wraps its tendrils around my very soul. I must have more!
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate: What is this gelatinous spread? Knaebelag's blood?
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate: Yes. My digestive tract is aflame. More ale is required. And more of those sandy bugs!
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate: Mix together, noodles and crab, floating in ale! Ah! Good! So good!
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate: Thank you. Thank you all. This moment. This is the greatest moment I have experienced in the last 200,000 days.
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate: I can live in Tyria now, no?
- Hungry Kryptis Delegate: Again, apologies. We did not have the willpower to wait. But we greatly appreciate this act of diplomacy, Wayfinder.
