Crafting keeps Coen alive across both halves of the day-and-night cycle in The Blood of Dawnwalker. Each recipe combines a base liquid with gathered plants, mushrooms, or creature parts to produce a consumable that restores health, boosts stamina, sharpens melee attacks, or powers your abilities. The tables below list every known recipe, exactly what it makes, and the ingredients you need.
Quick answer: Craft a recipe by learning its Manual, then combining the listed ingredients at your crafting menu. Manuals become available after the prologue and are found in loot chests, earned through leveling, or bought from street vendors.
How to unlock crafting recipes
Every recipe is tied to its own Manual, and you cannot craft an item until you own the matching Manual. Manuals unlock after you finish the prologue.
You can gather Manuals three ways. They appear inside loot chests as you explore, they can be granted as you level up, and street vendors sell them. Once a Manual is in hand, the recipe stays available for as long as you have the ingredients.
Ingredients are scattered across the map of Vale Sangora. Plants and mushrooms are foraged in the wild, while creature parts drop from enemies you defeat. Beast’s Bane Brew, for example, needs Wolf Claws, Wolf Heart, and Bear Liver, so you have to hunt down wolves and bears to collect them. Keeping a full inventory of materials is the reliable way to craft on demand, since you rarely know in advance which recipe a given item feeds into.

Note: Recipes climb in tiers, from Minor to standard to Potent, and each step swaps in stronger base liquids and rarer parts for a bigger effect. If you are early in the game, focus on the Minor and standard versions that use foraged plants and mushrooms, then save creature drops such as Psoglav Claws, Bear Liver, and Tatzelwurm Gland for the Potent recipes once you can reliably hunt those enemies.
