The Old Camp location in Gothic 1 Remake is a hub of activity, and you can complete the Snaf’s Recipe quest to earn some much-required rewards and experience points. This is one of the easier tasks to complete in the early stage of your adventure.
Let’s find out how to start and complete this quest.
Gothic 1 Remake Snaf’s Recipe quest walkthrough
To begin the quest, you’ll need to speak with Snaf. He is located in the southern part of Old Camp. Continue straight past Dexter in the camp, and you’ll eventually find Snaf by his cauldron. Speak with him, and he will ask you to find him three Meatbugs and five Hellcaps. Not the most delicious of ingredients, but needs must, I suppose.
The quest requires you to find the following items.
- Three Meatbugs
- Five Hellcaps
You can find three Meatbugs near the South gate of the Old Camp. It’s near the spot where an NPC usually mines (if it’s during work hours). Just stop the insects and get the meat to add to your inventory. If you stomped the two that roam near the starting mines, your job will be easier.
Hellcaps can grow in the open fields, but they’re easier to find in caves. The easiest way to get the five is via another quest. When you speak with Sly, he will inform you about Nek, who has gone missing. This starts The Vanished Warder quest, and you have to find Nek. You’ll eventually find him in a cave outside the South gate of the compound.
You’ll also find all five Hellcaps in the same cave. Now there are other areas where you might also find Hellcaps, but this is the best spot. You get the right quantity and also finish two different quests simultaneously.
Once done, return to Snaf and provide him with the ingredients. He will then supply you with the Meatbug Ragout dish, and you’ll also unlock its recipe. You will also get 100 XP for your efforts, which is substantial when you’re starting out. Finally, you can now speak with Snaf daily to get free food items that will help you to recover lost health.
