The Forgotten Recipe is one of the earliest side quests you can do in Gothic 1 Remake. After you have spoken with Guy and acquired your free house at the Old Camp, you will find a mysterious parchment containing an old recipe within the chest inside the house. You will then have to take the recipe and show it to Snaf, the Camp Chef. Turns out it’s a special recipe that belonged to the previous chef Brock. Now Snaf will want to teach you the recipe but requires you to fetch him all the ingredients.
In this guide, we will break down where you can find all the ingredients required to complete The Forgotten Recipe quest in Gothic 1 Remake.
How to complete The Forgotten Recipe in Gothic 1 Remake
After you have spoken with Snaf regarding the recipe, he will ask you to bring him the following items:
- 2x Scavenger Breast
- 2x Potatoes
- 2x Onions
- 2x Carrots
- 2x Solanaceae
- 2x Water
How to get Scavenger Breast
Scavenger Breast is basically the Raw White Meat you get from looting a dead Scavenger. You will find plenty of these beasts around the camp. Stick to fighting young Scavengers rather than the adult ones, as they can easily kill you if you are undergeared. Kill two Scavengers to get 2x Raw White Meat.
Use bows to kill them from a distance rather than melee attacks, especially if you have a weaker melee weapon. Bows in Gothic 1 Remake do insane amounts of damage, making them the perfect weapon for hunting Scavengers in the early game. It will take around three shots to kill a scavenger.
How to get Onions, Potatoes, Carrots, and Water
The vegetables (potatoes, carrots, and onions) and water can be purchased from Dexter in the outer ring area of the Old Camp. You can find him walking around a campsite located to the west of the south gate.
Interact with him and open his shop to purchase the required items. Make sure to get two of each required item to progress the mission. You will need a total of 25 Nuggets to purchase all the ingredients.
So make sure that you explore around the town and the outskirts to gather loot, which you can then sell to get a decent amount of Nuggets.
Tip: Prices for items vary at different vendors, so check out all the available vendors in the camp before making any sale.
How to get Solanaceae
According to Snaf, Solanaceae grows near and inside caves, so you will need to explore around the outskirts of the camp to get the herb. Luckily, you can get a few Solanaceae during The Vanished Warder quest, where you help Sly track down Nek (it turns out Snaf had sent Nek to collect some herbs from the nearby caves).
You can find the cave just across the south gate of the Old Camp. You will have to fight a few Molerats near the entrance of the mine. Inside, you will find two Solanaceae herbs and Nek’s dead body. You can also find a few caves near the north gate of the Old Camp, which also contains the Solanaceae herb.
Once you have acquired all the required items, return to Snaf and deliver the ingredients to complete the quest. He will cook a batch of Brock’s Stew for himself and teach you the recipe as well. After the quest is done, you can cook Brock’s Stew at any available cauldron on the map.
There are two available cauldrons in the Old Camp. The first one is being used by Snaf and is only available to you while Snaf is not using it. The second one is near the Arena gate; you will also find Kharim near the area.
