Next, use the Inquire Path Action on Goodwin to learn what dish he craves. After you receive the information, use the path action again to inquire further. Ratatouille is the dish he desires!

- Tomato x2
- Garlic x1
Alternatively, you can purchase the Ratatouille dish from the Capable Culinarian.
Once you have the dish, return to Goodwin on Shipwreck Island and use the Inquire Further Path Action on him to deliver the Ratatouille. During the cutscene, invite him to join your party! Goodwin will then become a new companion and resident of Wishvale.
