Accidental discovery: Instant Cooked Mystery Meat!

[John Stellarum]

So, I was exploring the desert ruins again and I threw a Spear Bomb at a dried cactus. Well, the resulting explosion also hit a scorpion, killing it. Except it didn't drop regular mystery meat. It dropped COOKED Mystery Meat!

I'm guessing this means killing critters with explosions causes the meat to be cooked, so if you can manage that, it will save you a step in the Mystery Meat cooking process.

The best part is that this trick is not only for scorpions, but also for lizards, rats, birds and knife krills! (the last one isn't as useful, but you get my point!)

Sure, but cooked mystery meat isn't what you're looking for. Twice cooked mystery meat is the real prize. Cooked Bird is useful info though, gonna use that in my second playthrough

Oh, I know, but like I said, this saves you a step. Instead of having to cook it once and then cook it again, now you only have to cook it one time to get Twice-Cooked Mystery Meat.

Sadly, it's not exactly easy to cook critters with the explosive slingshot in the Liag version (v1.2.5a), since you need to hit with the explosion rather than the pebble itself...

Oh, and here is another exploit:
