disclaimer
first and foremost, this isn't a newbie friendly guide. but if you have played the event, and having a problem beating it, or want an easy grind, or even solo it, then this guide is for you!

i dare say it's 100% success rate, so far all the runs i did is a success unless i do something stupid (burnt recipe, wrong recipe, wrong purchase etc), but since it sounds cooler i'll just put it at 99% plus it sounds more humble :lol:

pls drop a comment if you found a mistake or some scenario/possibility i didn't include

i'd suggest you familiarize yourself with my system, try to watch any full videos below:
beating Gorge SOLO #4

Other videos in this playlist:
Craving #1
  • buy Grill (6) and then 1 Fluffy, 1 Pointy and 2 Blue seeds (4)
  • plant them and harvest 2 potato (fluffy) and 1 onion (pointy) then grill them
    to get Potato Pancakes(#07) (8)
  • buy and install salt rack
>> visual guide link
Craving #2
if it wants BREAD
  • harvest 2 wheat (blue seed) then turn it into 1 flour
  • get 2 berries
  • grill the flour and berries into Jelly Sandwich(#04) (6)
>> visual guide link

if it wants VEGETABLE
  • harvest the 2 onion and 1 potato
  • grill it for Roasted Veggies(#14) (10)
>> visual guide link
Craving #3
if it wants FISH
  • get 3 and buy rod from Billy
  • get 2 fish and 1 twig
  • grill it for Fishball Skewers(#09) (8)
                                 
                                 
if it wants MEAT
  • get 4 and buy rabbit trap from Billy
  • get 1 rabbit and 1 foliage from near north garden
  • grill 1 meat, 1 flour & 1 foliage for Slider(#20) (9)
>> visual guide link

you should have 10/11 now, don't forget to take 1salt if it's ready
Craving #4
will always be DESSERT
  • buy cookpot (6) from Mumsy
  • get 3 berries and cook it for Berri Jam(#21)
    (1)

this is where it gets a bit tricky
  • use the to buy a key for north garden and open it
  • buy 2 blue seeds (wheat for flour -- 1 is enough but if you have spare buy 2 to be safe) and 1 spiky seeds (tomatoes) from the seller at garden
  • get 6 spice herbs at garden
  • take the second salt rock and grind both into salt, grind the 6 herb into 2 spice and optionally grind at least 2 flours
>> visual guide link
Craving #5
it's either VEGETABLE, SOUP or SNACK
  • harvest the spiky seeds into tomatoes and put them into cookpot (3 tomatoes)
  • go to the big swamp pig elder in the south and exchange the salts into 2 keys
  • open 2 safes, get the silverwares (bowl and plates)
  • boil the tomatoes in the cookpot into Tomato Soup(#26), put it into silver bowl then offer it (1 and 6)
>> visual guide link

Craving #6
If you CAN afford the Big Grill:
                                                                   
FISH
  • TBH i think it's screwing you, you will most likely need to cook until craving
    #9++. For now, if you had fish at 3rd craving, you should have the fishing rod
    available. You will need 1 flour, 1 fish, 1 spice & 1 milk (milk is from Mumsy
    for 1) for Bagel 'NFish(#47) >> this should give you 1 and 7, but instead
    it gives 1 and 7 instead. i think it's a bug

  • if you had meat at 3rd craving, you will need to buy rod (3) if you have spare to buy big grill(8) then buy it (sometimes you do, sometimes you don't depending on earlier cravings) then follow the steps above for grilling Bagel 'NFish

MEAT / BREAD

  • grill 1 meat, 1 flour, 1 foliage & 1 milk and you will get Cheeseburger(#52),
    offer it with a plate and you will get your first , 1 and 6
  • congrats, you will most likely beat it at 8th craving!
>> visual guide link


If you CAN'T afford the Big Grill

Do not buy the milk since it expires really fast. Instead, if it wants:

FISH
  • Make fishball skewer (2 fish, 1 twig) this should give you enough to buy
    big grill next round
>> visual guide link


MEAT
  • Make Sliders (1 meat, 1 foliage, 1 flour) to top up on coins for
    big grill next round.
                                 


BREAD
  • If you have a trap, make Sliders above, else Make Jelly Sandwich
    (2 berri, 1 flour) to top up on for big grill next round.
Craving #7
it's PASTA!
  • since it's a definite request, you can start making it overlaping the previous one
  • use small cookpot to boil 2 flours and 1 milk, you will get Mac 'NCheese(#46), offer it with Silver bowl for your second , and 7
>> visual guide link
Craving #8
if it's CHEESE
  • grill 1 meat, 1 flour, 1 foliage & 1 milk for Cheeseburger(#52),
    offer it with a silver plate for another



if it's DESSERT
  • grill 1 berri, 2 flour & 1 milk for Scone(#67), you may offer it without plate
    and will still get another
>> visual guide link



if you have 3 coins, exchange it with Mumsy for the exit key (bottom one) then put it in the pillar north of the well where you entered. Congrats! you have beaten the Gorge!
Craving #9++
if the game screwed you over, or you made a mistake somewhere, don't worry you can still salvage it (if you've done your previous work fast enough and there's still some time left)

from my experience 9th one is likely SNACK / BREAD but sometimes it's randomized

if it wants DESSERT / BREAD
  • grill 1 beri, 2 flour & 1 milk for Scone, serve it with or without silver plate
>> visual guide link



if it wants CHEESE / MEAT
  • grill 1 meat, 1 flour, 1 foliage & 1 milk for Cheeseburger,
    serve it with silver plate
>> visual guide link


if it wants SNACK
  • grill 1 flour, 2 milk / 2 flour, 1 milk for Grilled Cheese(#48),
    serve it silver plate




ALTERNATIVELY you can try Cream of Mushroom(#49) as a SNACK/SOUP option ( 2 mushrooms, 1 milk) with silver bowl for your last if you don't have a silver bowl, you should be able to purchase one from Mumsy for 2 if you have silver plated previous cravings -- courtesy of sushibar82



if it wants SOUP >> game decided to screw you over again, lol. just make Stone Soup(#12) (1 stone, 1 beri & 1 foliage in cookpot) and basically skip this one





ELSE IF you have big cookpot around and some spare time, you can also try making Onion Soup(#54) (1 flour, 1 milk & 2 onion)
>> like this

end note, tips & tricks
  • is it possible to solo end it in 7th craving or less? YES, but you will need to open the safe early (you need to open 1st safe at 2nd/3rd dish, and you will need to have some luck not to get the syrup item) you will need to recalculate some stuff from my guide. but i decided to skip it, since it really depends on luck (and it's a hassle, since you can't really restart a round, you must leave and remake the server etc) i may make a guide for it if this guide attracts a lot of interest or many request it

  • in your visual guide you're using Wicker, is it possible to use other characters solo too? YES, i believe so, you just need to be creative in how to work it out. ie. i use buffalo dung as the fuel since it'd take too much time to cut trees for wicker, and i don't really need the fertilizer bucket anyway
    Thank God the big worm doesn't have nose, otherwise he won't be pleased with my dishes lol!

  • be honest, it's not 99% win rate is it? UNLESS you make a major screwup, i believe i've covered all bases in this guide. i mean i made a mistake of buying big cras instead of big grill, and still able to beat it --> link
    But if you burnt your favor food and you have no red coin, i think it's a definite fail

  • all food recipes can be seen here https://forums.kleientertainment.com/gorge-recipe-book/
    but some of the price is different. ie if you offer jelly sandwich as snack you will get 8c, if you offer it as bread, you will only get 6c instead. Potato Pancakes is 8c as snack, but 5c as veggie

  • be creative! also pls try to help others that are struggling if possible, i do made the guide soloable, but the event is more fun to be played with others

  • you're awesome, how can i thank you? just put this guide into favorite, so i know some people really got helped and i didn't do this in vain (sob lol) also if you really want to, you can gift me the event skin (lolol) i'll be sure to credit you in this and any later guide i make

I like it! Been doing it for 5 times now and I have been winning them so far.
But it took me some time to try and get the gist of it.

@non - your gameplay is commendable! It seems rather efficient and interesting. Thank you again for trying our guide, happy it had inspired you to explore and try new ways in grinding the Gorge.
non 26 Jun, 2018 @ 4:24am 
I use WX-78 pretty much the same way @Ditto did, with a bit explanation:
- The largest amount of flour you ever need in one run is 6 (at Craving#2, #3, #6, #7 & #8) => 12 wheats /3 packs of blue seed
- Order of action at the start:
-> take hoe, till 18 slots (3 for onion, 12 for wheat, 3 for tomato)
-> buy grill and install
-> buy 3 packs of blue seed, 1 pack of pointy seed, sow seeds
-> take axe, run to pig village to harvest 4 potatoes* & 2 rots, collect around 15-20 logs
-> run back to camp, just in time for the crops fully grown (use 2 rots to fertilize 1 onion if needed)
-> make potato pancake, harvest wheats while waiting
-> offer Craving#1, take 8 coins to buy salt rack, grind all wheat to flour on the way there
...
*if you have leftover potato and onions (if Craving#2 is Bread), you can use them later to bait rabbits (idk, I really sux at chasing them to trap, it costs me hella long time to get meat scrap that way)
non 26 Jun, 2018 @ 3:49am 
Since Bagel 'NFish at Craving#6 has a bug (gives no Favor), I think the fast decision here is just making fishball skewer instead, whether you can afford Big Grill or not.
Unless you want to cook more future dishes playing in a group, 1 Red mark - or - 3 Milks, is enough to get you 3 Favors from Craving#7 onward. (welp, if you burn your dish, then it's over lol)
Skipping Bagel 'NFish means you don't need to get spice herbs from garden too. That's my experience playing solo with the help of this guide :erune:

@auntie oh that's a good idea! thank you for sharing :D
Carl Poppa 25 Jun, 2018 @ 3:06pm 
Did this several times with one other person. We skipped the potato seeds and one person grabbed the free ones instead. We also used a pigeon instead of a trap. With one of us as the haggling clown, it made coins easy. We even combined getting the large grill and spiky seeds into one step to cut down on time.

Awesome guide, thanks!
