About this item

Turtle neck meat that has been thoroughly pickled in a bitter solution.

Temporarily grants large boost to stamina recovery speed.

The effects of the forager brood's pickled delights are enhanced by the fermentation, or rotting, of the ingredients. Though this results in a pungent odor, some come to find the aroma irresistible.

Crafting after obtaining Forager Brood Cookbook [6]

Scadu Altus

Starting Site of Grace: Church District Highroad

Before you go

• Crafting Kit
• Forager Brood Cookbook [6]
• Ingredients per batch: 3 Rada Fruit, 1 Turtle Neck Meat, 1 Scorpion Liver and 1 Dewgem

1. From Highroad Cross in Scadu Altus, follow the road east to Moorth Ruins and activate the grace beside the cross.
2. Pass through the large stone arch east-southeast of the grace. At the house ahead, turn left toward the leaning tower. Avoid the large open shaft behind the house, which is too deep for a direct drop.
3. Find the smaller gap between the broken building and the rock wall in front of the leaning tower. Drop onto the balcony-like ledge, turn right past the dogs and follow the cave inward.
4. In the open chamber at the end, take the back-left ledges down onto the lower roof. Look for the small shrine guarded by three Inquisitors and collect Golden Arcs from the chest inside.
5. To continue east, drop from the lower roof to the ground and take the cave beside the building on the left. Follow it to the long ladder and climb out of the well at Bonny Village grace.
6. Go east through Bonny Village, watching for the large cleaver-wielding villagers, and cross the two suspension bridges. The second brings you to Bridge Leading to the Village grace.
7. Follow the road north through the woods and around its bend to Church District Highroad grace. Continue toward the northern keep entrance for the forager, or take the cathedral branch for the lakeshore recipe.
8. Stay outside the Church District entrance tunnel. Follow the slope around its southern side and turn west onto the higher ground above the road, near the keep's outer wall.
9. Look along the wall toward the cliff for the friendly pest partly buried as it forages. Talk to it for Forager Brood Cookbook [6]; do not attack it or use an area attack beside it.
10. Collect the book before choosing an answer that sends Moore away. You do not need to enter the flooded district or drain its water.
11. With the Crafting Kit, three Rada Fruit, one Turtle Neck Meat, one Scorpion Liver and one Dewgem, open Item Crafting outside combat and prepare Well-Pickled Turtle Neck.

Moore at Main Gate Cross

Gravesite Plain

Starting Site of Grace: Main Gate Cross

Before you go

• Moore is present and friendly.
• 2,000 runes.

1. From Three-Path Cross in Gravesite Plain, take the western road through the rocky passage toward Belurat. Activate Main Gate Cross grace before the settlement entrance.
2. Talk to Moore, the armored merchant sitting by the cross, and open his shop. Buy the single Well-Pickled Turtle Neck for 2,000 runes before a quest decision sends him away.

Notes

• Adds 13 points per second to stamina recovery for 60 seconds. This is a flat recovery increase, not a 13% bonus to maximum stamina.
• The effect helps the bar refill between actions. It does not remove the recovery delay after spending stamina, give unlimited attacks or increase the size of the bar.
• Does not stack with ordinary Pickled Turtle Neck. The two foods replace one another, so using both spends an item without adding their recovery values together.
• Can work with Green Turtle Talisman or Two-Headed Turtle Talisman and with Greenburst Crystal Tear. Those compatible effects add recovery separately; the two turtle talismans still cannot be equipped together.
• Consumes one prepared item without an FP cost. You can carry ten, and Old Lord's Talisman does not extend this food's duration.
• Craft one with three Rada Fruit, one Turtle Neck Meat, one Scorpion Liver and one Dewgem after learning Forager Brood Cookbook [6]. No pot or bottle is needed.
• Moore also sells one prepared copy for 2,000 runes at Main Gate Cross. Buying that copy does not teach the recipe, and the crafting menu remains available once the book is learned even if Moore later leaves.
