Pokémon Legends: Arceus – How to Get Bean Cake

While also effective for attracting Bird and Fish Pokémon, the Bean Cake in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the quest item needed to compete Request 55, “Poor, Peckish Piplup.” To start the Request, Trainers need to travel to the small island north of Tombolo Walk, right below the hand-shaped peninsula of Cobalt Coastlands. An NPC by the name of Maris will be trying to feed a Piplup Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. However, the Piplup doesn’t want to eat, so it is up to the player to craft something special to entice the hungry Pokémon.

After the dialogue ends, the quest will begin, requiring the Trainer to craft a Bean Cake for the poor Piplup. First, the player will need to obtain the recipe for the Bean Cake from the Craftworks shop in Jubilife Village. Anvin, its shopkeeper, can be found to the left of the Galaxy Hall on the northwestern side of town. Speak to him and select the “Crafting recipes” category to find the Bean Cake recipe. The item will cost 1,000 ₽, so players will need to ensure they have the funds to buy it.

Once players have acquired the Bean Cake recipe, they will need Plump Beans ×1 and Cake-Lure Base ×1 to craft the quest item in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Plump Beans can be found along the southern coast of the Cobalt Coastlands. Trainers should be able to find a couple of them by searching around Ginkgo Landing and Crossing Slope. Alternatively, they can be purchased from Anvin for 200 ₽ each.

How to Craft Bean Cake in Pokémon Legends Arceus

There is an easy way to obtain Bean Cake in Pokémon Legends Arceus. Players can buy Bean Cake for 400 ₽ from the General Store in Jubilife Village once they’ve finished Request 61, “More New Wares.” To complete this quest, players will need to collect Crunchy Salt ×3 and give them to Tao Hua in the Galaxy Hall. Crunchy Salt can be found in the Bolderoll Ravine of the Coronet Highlands. On the other hand, the Craftworks in Pokémon Legends Arceus will have Cake-Lure Bases available for 100 ₽ per purchase. Additionally, completing Request 6, “Mushroom Cake Marketing,” will reward the player with Cake-Lure Base ×5.

Once players have collected all the necessary resources, they can interact with the crafting station next to Anvin to make the Bean Cake. Then, return to Maris and feed the Piplup the cake to complete the Request. Finishing “Poor, Peckish Piplup” will reward Trainers with Razz Berries ×5 and Hyper Potions ×3.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is available on Nintendo Switch.
