Moon Pie is a Mondstadt defense food in Genshin Impact: its normal version gives every party member 30% Shield Strength and 200 DEF for 300 seconds. Make it with 4 Raw Meat, 4 Bird Eggs, 3 Butter, and 2 Flour. Its recipe unlock level is disputed by current guides, so check Mondstadt Reputation rewards in-game before relying on a specific level.
What Moon Pie does
Moon Pie is a cooked food described in-game as a traditional Mondstadt staple made with pickled meat and meringue. Its normal-quality effect increases all party members’ Shield Strength by 30% and DEF by 200 for 300 seconds. In Co-Op Mode, the buff applies only to the character or characters controlled by the player who eats it.
The effect varies by cooking quality:
| Quality | Shield Strength increase | DEF increase | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| SUSPICIOUS | 25% | 165 | 300 seconds |
| Normal | 30% | 200 | 300 seconds |
| DELICIOUS | 35% | 235 | 300 seconds |
These quality values are reported by the Genshin Impact Wiki; the normal-quality effect is also listed by Honey Hunter World, whose database identifies itself as updated to version 7.0.
Ingredients and how to cook Moon Pie
The recipe requires these ingredients:
- 4 Raw Meat
- 4 Bird Eggs
- 3 Butter
- 2 Flour
Once you have the recipe, cook Moon Pie at a cooking station using those ingredients. The game’s cooking minigame determines whether the result is Suspicious, normal, or Delicious, which changes the strength of the buff.

Where to get the recipe
Moon Pie’s recipe is a Mondstadt Reputation reward from Hertha, but published guides disagree about the required reputation level. The Genshin Impact Wiki lists Level 7; Game8 lists Level 8 on a guide marked updated February 3, 2026. Honey Hunter’s item entry does not state an unlock level. Since these sources do not settle the discrepancy, check Hertha’s current reputation reward list in-game rather than treating either level as definitive.
Eula’s special dish: Stormcrest Pie
Cooking Moon Pie with Eula can produce her special dish, Stormcrest Pie. It provides 40% Shield Strength and 282 DEF for 300 seconds, making it stronger than a normal-quality Moon Pie on both listed effects. The Genshin Impact Wiki lists these values.

Optional fan recreation
For a real-world version, one player has shared a fan-made interpretation of Moon Pie as a French Pithivier-style pie, with shaping and baking directions: the Reddit recreation. This is a fan recipe, not an official HoYoverse recipe, and has no bearing on the in-game ingredients or cooking mechanics.
