How the Beastro skill tree works
Every skill in Beastro unlocks a dish. The tree runs from two starting points, Rice Bowl and Bulb Bowl, and everything else grows out of Rice Bowl, so the order you spend in decides which recipes are open to you and, through them, how large a prep grid you can cook on.
Rice Bowl splits into three Beastro branches: Minnyen Meat Rice Bowl, Palo Pori Salad and Stuffed Marshroom. The longest chain runs seven skills deep, so a dish at the end of a branch needs every skill above it first.
Chef points in the Beastro skill tree
Most Beastro skills are unlocked in order, while eight cost 2 chef points on top: Maracalotl Wellington, Langoferno Ceviche, Crablamo Pasta, Mussel Cioppino, Clapbat Eye Galette, Zebraiser Over Rice, Hot Dog and Sloppy Joe. They all sit deep in their branch.
