Cooked Lox Meat

Cooked Lox Meat is a great simple way to boost your health while exploring the Plains.

Acquisition

• You get Cooked Lox Meat by roasting raw Lox Meat on an Iron Cooking Station over an open fire
• It takes 60 seconds for Cooked Lox Meat to roast
• Leaving it on the fire for too long will ruin the meat and produce Coal

Lox are great beasts roaming the Plains biome. They tend to move in herds, but despite their herbivore nature, they will attack you if you get too close. If you want to hunt Lox, ranged weapons are recommended. Should you fight them at close range, their powerful but slow attacks are best avoided by dodging and not blocking. Defeating a wild Lox will provide you with some Lox Meat and other resources. You can also tame the creature and even ride it as a mount.

Throw the Lox Meat on an Iron Cooking Station (Iron x3, Chain x3) that’s standing over an open fire and wait 60 seconds. Afterward, you’ll be able to pick up your Cooked Lox Meat. But be mindful that if you leave the meat on too long, it will eventually turn into Coal.

Helpful Tips

• Lox are powerful but slow. It’s easy to dodge their attacks, but if you block them, there’s a good chance they’ll break your stance.
• While cooking Lox Meat is a decent strategy during your early days of Plains exploration, eventually you’ll have access to better recipes that utilize that meat.
• Overcooking Lox Meat produces Coal, so while it’s very wasteful, you still get a useful resource out of that process.
