Project Gorgon Bacon Guide: The Best Early Game Food

Bacon in Project Gorgon is one of the strongest early game Instant Snacks you can use. It restores 50 health and 20 power instantly, works in almost any situation, and has no long term regeneration effect. If you keep a stack on your sidebar, it will carry you through fights that would normally send you back to town.

This is why so many experienced players stockpile it early and never look back.

How Bacon Performs In Combat

Bacon is an Instant Snack Level 0 item with a base value of 21 councils. Instead of giving a regeneration buff over time, it heals you immediately.

It restores:

50 health
20 power

That instant burst matters. You can use Bacon while stunned, while mounted, and during certain transformations like Pig form. It does not care about your situation. If you can click it, it works.

The 20 power restore is also huge. Early builds often run dry during longer fights. Bacon lets you stay aggressive instead of backing off to recover.

How To Get Bacon

Bacon is mainly produced through Cooking once you have the recipe.

The Bacon recipe can show up in Serbule vendor stalls and has been reported from enemies such as Mantis Mentalists in the Goblin dungeon. The recipe is no longer consumed by its associated quest. You only need to own it.

Once learned, you can mass produce Bacon as long as you have the materials.

There is also a Work Order that requires turning in 10 Bacon to Fitz the Boatman for 460 councils. It requires Industry Level 0 and is an easy early source of councils.

Turning Bacon Into Profit

Bacon is not just survival food. It is one of the easiest early money makers in Serbule.

You can farm materials, cook large batches, and sell them to NPCs like Fainor. As you increase Favor, the vendor money cap increases, allowing you to move more stock over time.

Some players also sell Bacon directly to other players. High level players buy low level ingredients to:

Level Cooking
Prepare for dungeon runs
Stock up on Instant Snacks
Build Favor with NPCs

Many NPCs like Bacon as a gift, so you can also use it to push Favor while clearing inventory space.

Upgrading To Ur Bacon

Bacon can be upgraded into Ur Bacon by combining it with cedar wood chips and a femur. Ur Bacon restores four times as much health as regular Bacon.

This makes Carpentry valuable, since you need cedar chips. Once you unlock Ur Bacon, it becomes a serious emergency heal and stays relevant much longer than basic snacks.

There are also Bacon Candles that increase the healing of regular Bacon. If you are leveling Candle Making alongside Cooking, that synergy adds even more value.

Best Early Snack Setup

If you are unsure what to slot on your sidebar early on, Bacon is a safe default.

Keep a stack ready at all times. Use it proactively instead of waiting until you are almost dead. Because it is instant, you can stabilize mid fight and keep pushing damage.

Bacon is simple, cheap, flexible, and strong. Early on in Project Gorgon, that combination is hard to beat.
