Dave the Diver: Ichiban’s Holiday DLC – A Cooking Guide
In the Ichiban’s Holiday DLC for Dave the Diver, characters from the Like a Dragon series make an appearance at Blue Hole, where they join Dave and his team. After some action-packed fun in the first mission that leads Ichiban and the Bartender to Bancho Sushi, the next task involves preparing a new dish: Cold Noodles.
To create this dish, you’ll need three specific ingredients: Buckwheat (3), an Egg (1), and Stingray Meat (3). If you’re struggling to find these items, particularly the Stingray Meat, here’s a straightforward guide to help you gather everything you need.
How to Obtain Stingray Meat
Stingrays can be a bit hard to find, but thankfully, you don’t have to dive too deep. They are located in the Blue Hole Shallows during the day, typically around ten meters deep.
These creatures are generally hidden beneath the sand, so you won’t spot them until you’re close. As you near them, you’ll see a red mark indicating an aggressive fish; it will attack you. Search the sandy areas around the ten-meter mark, and if you can’t find any Stingrays, head back to your boat and try again.
Important Note: Ensure you’re hunting the regular Stingray for the meat you need. The Marbled Electric Ray found in the same area won’t provide the correct item.
Once you take down a Stingray, you can either carve the meat off or use the Salvage Drone to retrieve it intact. Usually, taking down one Stingray will give you the three pieces of Stingray Meat necessary for your mission.
How to Get Buckwheat
You’ll automatically receive Buckwheat Seeds that you can grow on the Farm. To get the Buckwheat, simply plant the seeds, water them, and wait until they’re ready to harvest.
Tip: If you miss the harvest window, you can easily purchase more seeds from Otto for 45 each.
How to Get Eggs
By the time you unlock the Ichiban’s Holiday DLC (after completing Chapter Five and gaining access to cocktails), you should already have a Vegetable Farm and some chickens. Visit your farm daily to collect the Eggs needed for the mission. Just stop by to grab the single Egg necessary for this task.
Tip: If you haven’t bought any chickens yet, you can easily do so from the Chicken Farm NPC.
How to Complete the Mission
Once you’ve gathered all the ingredients, head to Bancho Sushi at night to prepare the Cold Noodles and serve them to the Bartender. Successfully completing this task will unlock a fun karaoke mini-game, the Ono Michio phone charm, and a Cocktail Shaker.
After Ichiban and the Bartender return to Japan, you’ll receive a call informing you about the Hero’s Bat, which can be found in the depths of the Blue Hole.
Unlocks
Completing this mission rewards you with:
- Three boat decoration options (Oryu, Hannya, and Dragonfish tattoo icons)
- Access to new staff based on Like a Dragon NPCs
- The addition of karaoke and the Sea Blue’s Hideout mini-games to your phone’s app.
Dive in and enjoy the culinary adventure that awaits in Dave the Diver!
