Food are a large group of consumable items found throughout Barony, serving to combat the player’s insatiable hunger and provides a ticking clock for players who spend too much time over-examining the floors of the dungeon.
Description[]
Food allows the average hero to travel through the dungeon without starving to death in the first few floors, satisfying their hunger and preventing malnutrition for players who can manage their hunger well. Food can be found scattered across the dungeon or as loot from defeated enemies. Meat is an extremely powerful food item early on into the game, as it has the third-largest satisfaction of any food and comes from killing common Rat enemies in the Mines.
Mechanics[]
Consuming Food[]
Like most items, right-clicking on food inside the inventory will show the option to eat that item. When in the hotbar, the item will be automatically selected and eaten by the player.
The Tin Can is the exception to all of this, requiring a Tin Opener in order to access its contents, and a possible penalty for players in the form of grease that will cause them to fumble their weapons. Tins also have a random chance to provide supplemental health and mana regeneration. If the player has the tin opener, and maybe a Towel to wipe themselves with after, then they can consume the tin can. Alternatively, the Goatman allows players to eat the tin outright.
See the equipment page for info about the tin opener & towel items.
It should be noted that consuming too much food can be dangerous, as it will force the player to vomit and reset their hunger to a normal value, effectively wasting food items in the process. Drinking cursed Bottles of Booze, or an excess of booze at one time will also result in vomiting, causing hunger to decrease and the player to become hungry. For more information, see Hunger.

Food Qualities[]
Like most other items in Barony, each food item will have an item quality associated with it when it is picked up, changing how the item acts in regards to edibility and how “safe” it is to be consumed. Stats such as constitution also play a role in how the player tolerates food quality.
| Quality Title | Chance to Puke |
|---|---|
| Fresh | 0% |
| Slightly Aged | 4% |
| Aged | 10% |
| Mouldy | 25% |
| Rotten | 100% |
Disabling Hunger[]
Within the Options menu, the player can opt out of Hunger in favor of disabling natural health regeneration. Doing so, food sources will begin to heal for five health each, making them smaller scale Potions of Healing to an extent. Players can still vomit if hunger is off.
This allows players to explore the dungeon more thoroughly, and get a better feel of how the game works before delving into the more difficult parts of the dungeon, where taking high damage is more common and food sources generally becoming rarer to come across.
Trivia[]
- Players can equip cream pies in their main hand and then throw them at enemies (or friends) and blind them.
- There are some rotten inedible foods hidden in the game.
