【Official】CAVEDACK Cooking Battle Play Guide

Seize Supreme Deliciousness from the Depths of the Abyss

Welcome to the world of "CAVEDACK"!
This game is a "Cooking Battle Simulator" where you aim for the top by combining cooking, combat, and strategy in the Great Cavern (The Cave), a place where unknown ingredients slumber.
This guide will clearly explain the basic knowledge you need to survive in this harsh yet enchanting world and become the legendary "Divine Chef" (Kamichu).

World Setting

• The Stage is "The Great Cavern (The Cave)"
  For humanity, whose terrestrial resources have been depleted, this giant underground cavern is their only hope. Here, plants that have evolved uniquely, mysteriously glowing minerals, and birds and beasts possessing special energy, all unlike anything on the surface, teem.
• The Supreme Genre: "CAVEDACK Cuisine"
  By combining "Cave Ingredients" (crystals, plants, etc.) from the Great Cavern with the special birds and beasts that inhabit it, "Duck" (Dack) ingredients, you can unlock astonishing deliciousness and power. This is what holds the greatest value in this world.
• "Deliciousness" = "Absolute Power"
  In this world, chefs (Cave Chefs) who create the most delicious dishes gain fame and power that surpasses royalty and presidents. All conflicts are settled not by guns, but by "Cooking Battles."

2. The Beginning of the Story: Your Position

You are an "E-Rank (Lowest Tier Chef)" languishing in the slums of the Great Cavern's uppermost layer.
You have no skills, no fame, only a rusty knife and a somewhat foolish wild duck.
What's more, you have a massive debt of 100,000 Krona (C), and if you don't win tonight's cooking battle against your opponent, "Greasy Gail," you yourself will be thrown into the depths of the Great Cavern as an ingredient!
However, you possess a hidden "Special Ability" (like hearing the voices of ingredients, manipulating magical flames, etc.). Together with your duck partner, let's rise from this desperate crisis!

3. The Flow of a Cooking Battle (4 Steps)

A cooking battle is more than just making food. Your "choices" from pre-battle information gathering to managing the venue's excitement will determine victory or defeat.

【STEP 1: Exploration & Procurement】
Hunt for ingredients before the battle or procure them from the black market. Obtain dangerous materials within the time limit!
　　↓
【STEP 2: Cooking Declaration (Your Strategy)】
How will you combine the ingredients you've obtained? Freely present your cooking method (heat control, spices, use of special abilities) to the AI.
　　↓
【STEP 3: Battle Erupts (Improvise)】
Your opponent may interfere, or an unexpected event may occur! Overcome it with quick-witted ideas!
　　↓
【STEP 4: Fateful Judging】
Unique judges will score out of 100. Social media buzz and audience fervor will boost the score!

4. Important Figures to Remember

The "Judges" Who Evaluate You

Creating dishes that suit their tastes is the shortcut to victory.

• Elisabeth (Gourmet Noble): Dislikes crude or cheap cooking. Values beauty and "unknown originality" that numbs the brain.
• Guntz (Adventurer): Values "stamina" and "high nutritional value" for survival in the harsh caves over elaborate dishes.
• Sister Teresa (Nun): Values love for ingredients. Dislikes cruel cooking methods and cherishes "harmony" that elevates ingredients.

"Rival Chefs" Who Stand in Your Way

Initially, they are weaklings of E to D rank, but as you advance, world-class monsters will appear.

• Greasy Gail (D-Rank): Tonight's opponent. Vulgar and greasy, but skilled at rich flavors that satisfy slum dwellers. Also the boss of the debt collectors.
• Jin (C-Rank): A young genius hunter chef who dismembers ingredients in an instant with wind-manipulating knife skills.
• Dr. Clara (B-Rank): A mad scientist who controls cooking with nanomachines and chemical formulas.

5. Three Pieces of Advice for Beginners

1. Free Thinking is Your Weapon!
   The AI (simulator) will favorably judge actions not in the system, such as "The heat isn't enough, so let the duck breathe fire" or "Turn poisonous mushrooms into a delicious soup by slowly simmering them over low heat with an inverted approach." Don't hesitate to declare any ideas you come up with.
2. Aim for "CAVEDACK Synergy"!
   Instead of just grilling meat, consciously combine ingredients (e.g., "mineral salt crystals" and "duck fat") to significantly increase your evaluation score (synergy bonus).
3. Don't Miss the Reactions of Judges and the Audience!
   If judges frown or the audience looks bored during the battle, it's a danger signal. Recover the "Audience Hype" with flashy performances or your partner duck's cute gestures!
   Now, grab your knife and call your partner duck.
   Let the battle to prove supreme deliciousness from the depths of the abyss begin!
