Soul Hackers 2 is the latest turn-based JRPG developed by Atlus Studios, who are also the developers of the critically acclaimed Persona franchise. Like most JRPGs, there are a ton of side activities in Soul Hackers 2. One of them is to feed your characters with different foods. We’ve prepared this guide to inform you about the best foods in Souls Hackers 2.
Soul Hackers 2 takes a lot of inspiration from the Persona series, but its unique story and certain gameplay mechanics set it apart. Different foods provide different benefits to your character, so without further ado, let’s get started with our guide to the best foods in Souls Hacker 2.
What are foods in Soul Hackers 2?
Food can be bought in multiple locations and the game doesn’t lag behind when it comes to the variety of food. Players have a ton of choices when it comes to food types and buffs. We would consider these to be the best foods as they provide the best buffs in the game.
- Negoti-ale
- Humble Mushrooms Rice pudding
- Chakra flan
- Philanthropic Shoyu Ramen
- Critical Boscaiola
- Chewy Taiyaki
- Placebo drink
- Admiration City Sign
Negoti-ale
As the name suggests, Negoti-ale’s buff effect lowers the level needed to negotiate with demons and generally just makes negotiating easier.
Players can get the Negoti ale from the vending machine in Karakucho.
Humble Mushrooms Rice pudding
The buff effect of the Humble Mushroom Rice Porridge allows the players to heal while exploring dungeons. This buff is extremely useful because you never know when you’ll run into a tough enemy and end up losing a ton of health.
Players can obtain the Humble Mushroom Rice Porridge at the Heidrun Bar in Shinsado.
Chakra flan
This buff is very similar to the Humble Mushroom Rice Porridge, except that the Chakra Flan MP will recover instead of health while exploring dungeons. Nevertheless, it’s worth being called one of the best foods in Soul Hackers 2, because more MP is never a bad thing. It allows the players to use their magic more often.
Players can obtain the Chakra Flan from the Breaking Mart in Karakucho.
Philanthropic Shoyu Ramen
Unlike the Humble Mushroom Rice Porridge that heals the player while exploring dungeons, the Philanthropic Shoyu Ramen can enhance the healing abilities of your allies.
This means that your supporting characters can recover even more of your health while having the same FP consumption as before. Use these two buffs together and you will find yourself with an abundance of health.
Players can obtain the Philanthropic Shoyu Ramen from the Food Cart in Karakucho.
Critical Bascaiola
The Critical Bascaiola increases your side’s chances of hitting a critical hit that you can use later in the fight to launch a high-damage attack.
Players can obtain the Critical Bascaiola from the Pizza Shop in Karakucho.
Chewy Taiyaki
The buff effects of the Chewy Taiyaki extend the effects of your card skills. This is very useful when exploring the dungeons in Souls Hackers 2.
Players can obtain the Chewy Taiyaki from the Breaking Mart in Karakucho.
Placebo drink
After using the Placebo Drink, players will find more loot when exploring dungeons, and their allies will heal them more often as well. Make sure to use this item when exploring the dungeons to collect loot.
Players can get the Placebo potion from the vending machine in Karakucho.
Admiration City Sign
We recommend using the Admiration City Plat before fighting a hard boss as it increases the party’s max MP, allowing you to use your magical abilities more often. Combine it with the Chakra Flan and you have a deadly combo.
Players can obtain the Adiraion City Plate at the Bar Heidrun in Shinsado.
How to Activate Buffs in Soul Hackers 2
Players will only gain access to food after defeating the tutorial boss named RS. After defeating the tutorial boss, you will return to the safe house and players will be given the option to buy and consume food in the safe house menu.
One thing to remember is that if you leave your safe house and go to the overworld. The buffs offered by the food you consumed in the safe house are activated and will remain activated as long as you are in the overworld. Once you leave the Overworld, your buffs will also disappear.
Another thing to note is the face icon at the top of the screen when you choose a food item in the safe house. This icon indicates how much your character will enjoy the food. Depending on how happy the face icon is, better improvements will be activated.
Conclusion
That concludes our guide to the best foods in Soul Hackers 2. The game features a unique story where people are consumed by the commercial convenience brought about by technological advancement. In the midst of this, a war rages between the Phantom Society and the Yatagarasu.
Since you’re tasked with saving humanity from an apocalypse and researching the end of the world, consuming the right food to activate the right buffs is paramount to success. That’s why we’ve informed you about the best foods in the game in this guide.
