Where to find all The Forgotten Recipe ingredients in Gothic Remake

Gothic Remake’s resident nice guy, Guy, will give you a free hut once you arrive in the Old Camp. Upon entering your humble abode and looting the chest, you’ll find a scrap of paper that gives you The Forgotten Recipe quest.

Speak to Snaf, the town’s chef, standing by the cauldron near the castle gate, and he’ll give you a laundry list of ingredients to find in order to cook this secret stew recipe. Below, I’ll explain where to look to get all six ingredients, and how to cook the stew, so you’re not aimlessly wandering around like I was.

Once you speak to Snaf, you will need to find two of each of the following ingredients:

• Scavenger breast (Raw White Meat)
• Onions
• Carrots
• Potatoes
• Solanaceae herb
• Water

You can get Scavenger breast by killing the weird chicken-like dinosaurs of the same name, found just about everywhere, including in the fields and forests to the east and west of the Old Camp (near the north gate, where you first enter the town). They drop Raw White Meat, which is the Scavenger breast you need.

Solanaceae herbs spawn in and around caves. I recommend grabbing the two Solanaceae inside the cave where you find Nek in The Vanished Warder quest, just outside the south gate of the Old Camp. However, you can also find two in the small molerat cave by the bridge at the north gate, and in the larger molerat cave to the west of town, by the guarded path to the orcs.

The best way to get onions, carrots, potatoes, and water is to buy them from Dexter in the market area with the hanging cloth covers on the southern side of the Old Camp. You can buy two of each ingredient you need for a total of 24 ore, which is pretty easy to earn—sell any spare weapons, materials, and trophies if you need some extra cash.

Once you’ve gathered all the materials you need, return to Snaf. He’ll cook one batch of the recipe and explain the complicated process. Then, you need to cook it yourself—thankfully you can actually ignore all the steps Snaf told you, which is rare in Gothic.

To cook the stew recipe, you need to use a cauldron. You can find an unoccupied one near Kharim at the entrance to the arena on the left side of the Old Camp, or just use Snaf’s when he goes to bed for the night. Select the Brock’s Stew recipe and it’ll consume the remaining ingredients you gathered earlier. Then just return to Snaff so he can taste test your attempt, finishing The Forgotten Recipe quest and giving you 100 XP in return.
