Macaroni Gratin is a Food item in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Availability[]
Macaroni Gratin is prepared through Johannes' alchemy menu in Arvantville, requiring Pasta ×2, Moco Leek ×1, Cheese ×1, and White Sauce ×1. Pasta is bought at Dominique's shop as soon as you craft one of those from three cheap store-bought ingredients: Flour ×1, Egg ×1, and Halite ×1. Cheese is randomly dropped by Giant Rats nearby (12%), and Moco Leek is randomly dropped by Moco Weed (12%) early in Garden of Silence.
The last ingredient, White Sauce, becomes sold for 500G once you craft at least one of that using Flour ×1, Halite ×1, Butter ×1, and Beast Milk ×1; the first two component ingredients are the same store-bought ingredients as what goes into the pasta, and the Butter will become available for purchase once you craft that from Halite ×1 and Milk ×1. The Beast Milk is the one ingredient involved in all of this that limits when the Macaroni Gratin can first be prepared, since it is dropped by Zagans (8%) in the later, post-Craftwork region of the Garden of Silence.
In other words, this meal is a virtual duplicate of the Macaroni & Cheese, requiring all of the exact same ingredients except that one less Pasta is needed to prepare it. If you can make one of these meals, you can make the other, and you can just buy the second White Sauce when making the second Macaroni meal.
Once one Macaroni Gratin has been prepared, duplicates of it can be bought for 880G.
Usage[]
Macaroni Gratin is a food consumable restoring 220 HP whenever used and giving a permanent bonus of +15 maximum MP when first eaten. It is 88% as expensive and potent as the High Potion, but up to 99 of it can be carried at a time.
On top of requiring the exact same ingredients as the Macaroni & Cheese (besides one less unit of the Pasta ingredient), the Macaroni & Cheese gives the exact same MP bonus, which means you can create both meals at the same time for two layers of the +15 Max MP boost by the time you reach the east end of the Garden of Silence.
Unlike Macaroni & Cheese, Macaroni Gratin is also required for Susie's fifth quest, "Craving a Baked Dish", which rewards you with a Kukri.
