All secret recipes in Cairn and how to find them

Cairn has a host of recipes for you to craft, but some of them are hidden in the wild. You’ll first have to find these recipes to craft them with the correct resources.

Most of the recipes are unlocked when you experiment with different ingredients. Some of them have special variants as well. However, the ones mentioned here will remain locked and hidden until you find them. They can be obtained at specific locations, and this guide will help you to unlock all of them.

How to unlock all secret (hidden) recipes in Cairn

The table below has all the information you’ll need to unlock these hidden recipes.

Recipe	Where to find	Image clues
Super Honey	When in The Escarpment, you’ll find a pair of crevasses between the two main cliff segments. Go to the crevasse that’s closest to the Bivouac, and you’ll find an entrance to a small cave. You’ll find the Super Honey recipe on the whiteboard.
Mountain Stew	Reach The Split Rock, and then go right from the Bivouac. There are a couple of camps located above the shrine at this location. You’ll find the Mountain Stew recipe in a journal in the upper camp.
Cave-style Trout	The Waterfall location has a hidden cave by the Bivouac. Take the stairs, go down, and reach the main room. This spot has plenty of fish. Go to the middle island, and you’ll find your recipe
Tourist-trap Noodles	Take the stairs from the base of the abandoned cable car building in The Shortcut. Reach the top of the stairs, and you’ll find your recipe. This is the easiest hidden recipe to find.
Porridge	You’ll find a Vicouac near the second doorway. Head left from the room past the statue, and you’ll reach an eating area. The recipe is on a table.
Pasture Tomatoes	This recipe can be found in the little storage by the tomato plants. You reach this spot after meeting and speaking with the Shepherdess. You can also pick Goat Milk and Tomatoes at this location.

As of writing, I have yet to unlock the Hunter’s Mushrooms and Maple Fudge recipes. Once I uncover how to unlock them, I will add the instructions to the table above.

The Future Stars Academy Evolution allows you to get two superstars for your Ultimate Team squad in FC 26.

The evolution can be done twice, and both chances are available for free. There are certain restrictions that determine which items can be used. You can completely change the look and feel of these cards with dedicated position, roles, and playstyle upgrades.

Let’s look at how you can make the most of these evolutions in Ultimate Team.

All FC 26 Future Stars Academy Evolution requirements

The Future Stars Academy allows you to evolve two cards. We can already complete the full range of evolutions once, and the second opportunity should arrive soon as part of a new objective set.

The requirements are simple: they must be born on or after Jan. 30, 2004, and their overall rating must not be above 84.

All FC 26 Future Stars Academy Evolution upgrades

Once you’ve put a card of your choice through the Future Stars Academy Contract Evolution, you can put it through one of the three following upgrades. Your decision will be based on the position of your Academy card (attackers, defenders, and midfielders).
