The best way to farm a couple pieces of Yao Guai Meat is to steal them from Longneck Lukowski’s Cannery.

Additionally, you can get 4 more pieces from dead Yao Guai, in a ravine, northwest of Coastal Cottage.

If you don’t feel like getting in trouble, you can buy Yao Guai Meat from some traveling merchants.

If you only need a couple pieces of Yao Guai Meat, stealing from Longneck Lukowski’s Cannery will do. Otherwise, you will need to go hunting for Yao Guai.

 

Best Looting Location: Northwest of Coastal Cottage

Luckily, there’s a place with 4 dead Yao Guai, which will yield 4 pieces of Yao Guai Meat.

Unfortunately there’s a Deathclaw guarding the spot, but if you stay hidden, you will be able to loot all the yao guai meat without it seeing you.
