In The Forgotten Recipe quest in Gothic 1 Remake, you’ll need to track down a variety of ingredients hidden around the Old Camp and its surrounding wilderness. This guide will show you exactly where to find every ingredient needed for the recipe, helping you complete the quest quickly and earn Snaf’s approval.
Starting Location
To start The Forgotten Recipe quest in Gothic 1 Remake, head to your tent in the Old Camp and open the chest inside. Among the items, you’ll discover an old recipe that automatically triggers the quest.
Speak to Snaf and Learn the Secret Recipe
After discovering the old recipe inside the chest in your tent, talk to Snaf, the Old Camp’s cook. You can find him standing beside the large cauldron near the castle gate. Show Snaf the old recipe. Snaf agrees to help recreate it, but first, you’ll need to gather all of the ingredients listed in the recipe.
All Ingredients for Brock’s Stew
Snaf will ask you to bring two of each of the following ingredients:
- 2 × Scavenger Breast (Raw White Meat)
- 2 × Onions
- 2 × Carrots
- 2 × Potatoes
- 2 × Solanaceae Herbs
- 2 × Water
How to Get Scavenger Breast (Raw White Meat)
Scavenger Breasts are obtained by hunting Scavengers, the strange chicken-like creatures that roam the areas around the Old Camp.
One of the easiest places to find them is near the northern gate of the Old Camp, close to the path where you first entered the settlement. Defeat the Scavengers and loot their bodies to obtain Raw White Meat.
Where to Find Solanaceae Herbs
These herbs commonly grow inside caves and rocky hideouts scattered throughout the Colony. A reliable location is the cave near the south gate where you search for Nek for the The Vanished Warder quest.
Buy the Remaining Ingredients
You can purchase the following items directly from Dexter in the Old Camp’s market area:
- 2 × Onions
- 2 × Carrots
- 2 × Potatoes
- 2 × Water
Return to Snaf
Once you’ve collected everything, head back to Snaf near the castle gate. Snaf prepares one batch of Brock’s Stew himself and explains the recipe. He then challenges you to recreate the dish on your own to prove you’ve understood the process.
Cook Brock’s Stew Yourself
To complete the quest, you’ll need to use a cauldron and prepare the stew personally. One cauldron is located near the entrance to the arena on the left side of the Old Camp. Alternatively, you can simply wait until nightfall and use Snaf’s cauldron after he goes to bed.
Interact with the cauldron and select the Brock’s Stew recipe. Doing so will consume the remaining ingredients you gathered earlier and create your own batch of the legendary meal.
With the stew prepared, return to Snaf one final time and let him taste your creation. This will end the quest. As a reward, you’ll receive 100 XP.
