The Forgotten Recipe is a side quest in Gothic 1 Remake, which allows players to discover a recipe from the past and breathe life into it once again. After finding a recipe in the Old Camp, you will have to go and talk to the camp’s cook, collect some ingredients and make a stew. Almost all of the ingredients can be found at the Old Camp easily. This guide will show you where to start the quest, where to collect every ingredient, and how to complete it.
How To Start The Forgotten Recipe Quest


To start the Forgotten Recipe quest, you should go to the Old Camp. You will have to travel to the Arena District, and there locate the house where the red animal skins are hung outside of it, right opposite the arena. Enter the house and then open the chest inside. There you will find an object known as the Old Recipe. Once you read it, the quest will begin as it is incomplete, which means that you need to find missing ingredients.
Speak With Snaf

Leave the house and make your way to the entrance of the castle yard. By the big cooking pot, you’ll meet Snaf, the chef of Old Camp. Present him with the old recipe. It is known to him that it is Brock’s legendary stew recipe, and he will help you complete it. You will require:
- 2 Potatoes
- 2 Onions
- 2 Carrots
- 2 Bottles of Water
- 2 Scavenger Breasts
- 2 Solanaceae
After that, you should go back to him. You may buy most of the components from Dexter, the vendor in the Old Camp Market Square.
The next thing you need to do is kill two Scavenger Breasts. Go out of the Old Camp via its Northern gate and proceed towards the small island situated on the left-hand side of the adjacent bridge. There, you will find two young scavengers. Kill them and take their Scavenger Breasts.
Leave the Old Camp via its Southern gate and move towards the cave right in front of the entrance. There you will find two Solanaceae flowers.
Cook Brock’s Stew

Go back to Snaf after gathering all the ingredients for him. Snaf will tell you how to make the stew and instruct you to cook it in a cooking cauldron. Luckily for you, there is a cooking cauldron around. Use the cooking cauldron and select Brock’s Stew on the cooking menu. After preparing the stew, go back to Snaf and hand him the Brock’s Stew.
