Manana's Cooking is a discussion in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. It can be received by cooking Manana's Battle Soup while Triton is in the party, after at least one main party member has attained rank 10 of the class Soulhacker. Completing it automatically starts the ascension quest My Memories.
Unlike other discussions, the background music of Millick Meadows rather than the ordinary Rest Spot.
Noah, about our next destination...
Ahoy, laddie! There's somewhere I be wantin' to go to.
...I am not "laddie", and I'm under no obligation whatsoever to listen to you.
Actually, there's a bunch o' places I need to pay a visit to.
You can talk to yourself all you want. We don't have the time to listen to you drone on.
It was on a cold day, nearly a hundred years ago.
Hey, don't just ignore me when I'm talking to you!
I was on a journey at the time, seeking strong foes.
What, like you're doing now, you mean?
One day, I ran into...him.
Aye, him. An eccentric man was he. Couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag.
But then, he ended up entrustin' somethin' important to me.
I see... But if this was so long ago, then... That man must be...
Anyone's life is short if you look at it from my perspective. Not that I be tryin' to offend ye folks.
Anyway, this man, he handed me a... I think it was a...pot? After that I can't remember a blessed thing.
You think? You can't remember? What are we supposed to do with that?
Um... So what does this have to do with where you wanna go?
Very good question, girl!
It came to me suddenly that when he and I went places, I'd leave some kinda mark.
I mean, it'd be a bother if I forgot where we went, eh? So I left my giant handprints all over the place.
"All over the place", huh? Very helpful.
Well, now and then stuff comes back to me. I just remembered I left one mark by a lake around where Gamma is right now.
Does the place stand out?
Ahh... Sorry, can't remember anything except that mark.
Back then I used to fly everywhere in a Ferronis.
You used a Ferronis just for that? What the... What a waste!
I suppose. It did cause a few squabbles with some other colonies. Haha!
Forget about that. At least we've got something to aim for.
Of course, we can't just run around endlessly hunting for those marks.
But if we see something similar to what he remembers, it might jolt his memory.
...Then I suppose I don't mind.
Sorry, folks. Just keep your eyes peeled for 'em, and I'll be grateful.
