Dying Light: The Beast is the latest title in the Dying Light series, bringing back an angry Kyle Crane to take his revenge on The Baron for experimenting on him for well over a decade. There’s plenty to do to keep you busy in the game, and there are a whole load of collectibles too.

There are several achievements / trophies tied to getting different types of collectibles. There’s also the ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’ for finding them all. To spot a collectible in the game, use your Survivor Sense to highlight points of interest in the area. Collectibles can be spotted by the orange chest, see below.

Dying Light: The Beast – Find all the Castor Woods Recipes Guide

There are eight Castor Woods recipes to find scattered across the game’s map.

These are listed in the order I found them, not necessarily the most efficient / best way to find them.

Recipe for Steak Tartare (1 / 8)

This one can be found to the left of the entrance to the Town Hall (if you were looking at entrance from the main square). Head to the second floor through a window. There’s a golf-cart type vehicle underneath. Once you go through the window there should be a locked door. A medium difficulty lockpick challenge. Unlock and head in. The recipe is on the counter in the kitchen.

Iris’s Quince Liquor (2 / 8)

You can get this whilst completing the ‘Last Wish’ mission where you need to get the items for Iris (she’s in the Exile Cave safe zone, that’s where you get the mission). The recipe is in a kitchen in a house in ‘The Vale’ area of the map. It’s to the east of the map.

Fruit Dumplings by Jon’s Grandma (3 / 8)

In a house just off the main road (yellow road) to the east of the map in ‘The Vale’ area. The recipe is on a table.

Flemish Carbonade by Nathan’s Mom (4 / 8)

On the island with the mental asylum. To the south, in one of the buildings behind a desk.

North east of the Monastery, and south west from the island with the mental asylum on it. The recipe is pinned to a notice board.

Czarnecki’s Blood Sausage (6 / 8)

Not far from the monastery, in the smaller building. If you leave the Monastery from the window you’ll head forward and go to the outside of the Cafe Bistro. Unlock the door with a lockpick and head inside. The recipe is a crate amongst the barrels.

Strawberry Pasta (7 / 8)
