The new DLC adds Grom’s Cauldron where you can combine ingredients to create powerful recipes. This Total War Warhammer II Grom’s Cauldron Ingredients Guide breaks down all of the ingredients and provides a list of all of the ingredients you can find in the game.
The Ingredients can all be found in the game by completing various tasks such as sacking settlements, defeating enemies, and completing quests. It’s important to remember what ingredients you have unlocked as sometimes special events will offer ingredients as rewards, you don’t want to waste a reward unlocking an ingredient you already own.
Total War Warhammer II Grom’s Cauldron Ingredients Guide
There are 25 numbers of ingredients spread across 5 categories. You can mix multiple ingredients to make a recipe. The recipes effects are always the same but the additional effects provided by the ingredients will change depending on the ingredients you use.
For example, the Fishy ‘Shroom Burgers recipe requires one ingredient from Fishy Chunks and one from Sporez n’ Shroomz. The outcome is the same, providing Perfect Vigour to Grom and Fishy Breath to Grom bonuses, but the added bonuses provided by the ingredients will depend on the ingredients used. Check out our Grom’s Cauldron guide for more information. Now, on to the ingredients.
