Confit in Dark Scrolls: A Complete Guide to the Chef and His Recipes

To get Confit and his powerful food-based buffs in Dark Scrolls, you must complete a hidden, multi-stage quest called “The Last Supper.” This involves finding a clue in the Grand Archives, gathering three rare ingredients across the world, solving a pressure-plate puzzle in the Sunken City of M'gotha, and finally making an offering at a secret altar. Once unlocked, Confit sets up a Field Kitchen at safe zones, allowing you to cook monster parts into potent consumables that grant unique advantages in combat.

This guide breaks down every single step to recruiting the reclusive chef and mastering his forbidden culinary arts.

01

Who is Confit and Why Do You Need Him?tag

Confit is not a combat companion. Instead, he is a unique support NPC who provides some of the most powerful and versatile temporary buffs in the game. A former chef for the Corpulent King, he fled the Undying Court with a collection of forbidden recipes—the titular scrolls of his craft—that use the essence of slain monsters to empower the consumer.

Once recruited, he will appear at every major checkpoint (Phoenix Stone) you activate. By providing him with specific monster parts and a small tribute of Salt Fragments, you can cook meals that offer effects far beyond what standard potions or resins can achieve. For builds that struggle with specific bosses or environmental hazards, his buffs are often the key to victory.

Key benefits of unlocking Confit:

• Targeted Buffs: Need to resist petrification for the Gorgon pits? There’s a recipe for that. Struggling with stamina management against the Shadow Dancer? Confit can help.
• Cost-Effective: While the initial quest is demanding, cooking with Confit is often cheaper than buying dozens of consumable items from merchants.
• Unlocks New Strategies: Abilities like waterbreathing or immunity to stagger open up entirely new ways to explore hidden areas and approach difficult encounters.

He is, without a doubt, one of the most impactful optional NPCs in Dark Scrolls, and this guide will ensure you don't miss him.

The Last Supper: A Step-by-Step Quest Guidetag

Recruiting Confit requires completing the four stages of “The Last Supper.” This quest is unmarked in your journal, so you’ll need to follow these steps carefully. It is recommended you are at least level 40 and have defeated the Lord of the Sunken City to ensure access to all required areas.

Step 1: Find the Greasy Recipe Scraptag

Your first clue is an item called the Greasy Recipe Scrap. This is a rare drop from a specific enemy: the Gluttony Slime. These pulsating, grotesque enemies are found in the lower levels of the Grand Archives, specifically in the flooded library section guarded by the Silent Scribes.

While any Gluttony Slime can drop the scrap, the one located in the small alcove behind a moving bookcase has a significantly higher drop rate (estimated around 25%). Farm this enemy until the scrap appears in your inventory. Reading the item reveals a cryptic verse:

“The King’s feast begins with earth’s dark tear, burns with the fire of rebirth, and ends with a sorrowful sip. His plate is set in the sunken hall, where gluttony’s sequence opens the door.”

This verse is your only guide for the next three steps.

Step 2: Gather the Three Forbidden Ingredientstag

The verse points to three unique ingredients scattered across the world. They will not appear or cannot be harvested until you have the Greasy Recipe Scrap in your inventory.

• First Ingredient: The Grave Truffle

  • Location: The Ashen Churchyard, near the tomb of the First Bishop.
  • Clue: "...earth’s dark tear..."
  • How to Get It: The Grave Truffle grows at the base of the large, weeping willow tree in the center of the main graveyard. However, it is invisible to the naked eye and can only be seen while you have the Specter’s Monocle equipped. This monocle is crafted from the eye of the Apparition boss found in the Torture Pits below the main castle. With the monocle on, you’ll see a shimmering purple mushroom at the base of the tree. Harvest it.

• Second Ingredient: Phoenix Ash Salt

  • Location: The summit of Cinderfall Volcano.
  • Clue: "...burns with the fire of rebirth..."
  • How to Get It: You must defeat the legendary Ashen Phoenix boss at the volcano's peak. After the fight, its body turns to a massive pile of grey ash. Most players simply grab the boss soul and leave. With the quest active, you can interact with the ash pile a second time to “sift through the embers,” which yields the Phoenix Ash Salt.

• Third Ingredient: Tears of the Sorrowful Maiden

  • Location: The Weeping Grotto, a small cave system behind the waterfall in the Verdant Valley.
  • Clue: "...a sorrowful sip..."
  • How to Get It: This is a skill-based challenge. Inside the grotto is a large statue of a weeping woman. To collect her tears, you must first defeat the area's guardian, the Siren of the Grotto. The catch: you must defeat her without taking any damage. If you are hit even once, the water in the statue’s basin will be corrupted. Upon achieving a flawless victory, the water in the basin at the statue's feet will glow with a soft blue light. Interact with it to collect the Tears.

Step 3: Solve the Gilded Gullet Puzzletag

With all three ingredients in hand, you must find Confit's hidden kitchen, the Gilded Gullet. The clue points to the Sunken City of M'gotha: "...His plate is set in the sunken hall, where gluttony’s sequence opens the door."

In the grand feasting hall area of the Sunken City—the large, circular room just before the Lord of the Sunken City boss arena—there is a wall marked with four distinct carvings: a Soup Bowl, a Fish, a Roasted Bird, and a Cake Slice. These are pressure plates.

The Greasy Recipe Scrap hints at a sequence. The proper dining course of a royal feast is Soup, then Fish, then the main course (Bird), and finally Dessert (Cake). You must step on the pressure plates in that exact order: Bowl -> Fish -> Bird -> Cake.

Stepping on them correctly will cause the wall to grind open, revealing a hidden passage. If you make a mistake, several high-level Abyssal Knights will spawn to ambush you.

Step 4: Make the Offeringtag

Follow the passage down a long, winding staircase. You will emerge into a surprisingly well-kept kitchen, complete with a large, unlit stove and a pristine altar shaped like a butcher’s block. This is the Gilded Gullet.

Approach the altar and you will be prompted to “Present the Offering.” Place the Grave Truffle, Phoenix Ash Salt, and Tears of the Sorrowful Maiden on the block. The stove will erupt in a warm, inviting flame, and from the shadows, Confit will emerge. He will wordlessly bow to you, and a notification will appear: “Chef Confit has joined your cause.”

From this point on, he will be available at every Phoenix Stone.

Mastering Confit's Kitchen: All Recipes and Effectstag

Confit’s abilities are tied directly to his recipe book. You provide the core monster ingredient, and he cooks it into a buff-granting meal. His recipes are divided into three tiers, with more powerful recipes requiring parts from tougher monsters or the discovery of Forbidden Recipe Pages hidden in the world.

Tier 1 Recipes (Available by Default)tag

Tier 2 Recipes (Requires Forbidden Recipe Page)tag

To unlock these, you must find the Forbidden Recipe Page located in the Corpulent King’s throne room, hidden behind his throne. Picking it up will automatically add these recipes to Confit’s menu.

Tier 3 Recipes (End-Game)tag

These ultimate recipes require a final, Master Chef's Recipe Book, found only after defeating the secret final boss of the game, the Forgotten Glutton, in the Gilded Gullet's deepest pantry. These buffs are powerful enough to trivialize many encounters.

Frequently Asked Questionstag

Can I miss unlocking Confit? Yes. Confit is entirely optional and his quest is unmarked. If you proceed to the final boss of the main story without completing “The Last Supper,” the Sunken City of M'gotha becomes inaccessible in that playthrough, locking you out until New Game+.

What happens if I attack Confit? Confit cannot be harmed. Attacking him in the Gilded Gullet or at a Phoenix Stone will do nothing, and he will simply ignore you. He is a permanent, indestructible addition to your world once unlocked.

Do Confit's food buffs stack with other consumables? Yes. A food buff from Confit occupies a unique buff slot. This means you can have one of his meals active alongside a standard Resin weapon buff and a defensive potion effect. However, you can only have one of Confit’s food buffs active at a time; eating a new meal will overwrite the previous one.

Where are the best places to farm monster ingredients? Stone Wyverns for the Wyvern Wing Stew are plentiful in the Cinderfall Volcano foothills. The sewers beneath the capital city are the best place to farm Abyssal Eels. For Gorgon Eyes, the petrified forest before the Ashen Churchyard is your most reliable location.

Final Thoughtstag

Unlocking Confit is one of the most rewarding side quests in Dark Scrolls. It requires exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat skill, touching upon many of the game's core mechanics. The payoff is immense, providing a versatile toolkit of buffs that can fundamentally change how you approach the game's toughest challenges. Don't skip it.
