Where to Find All The Forgotten Recipe Ingredients in Gothic Remake

If you're looking to complete The Forgotten Recipe quest in Gothic Remake, you're in the right place. This guide will walk you through where to find all the required ingredients and how to successfully cook the secret stew. The quest starts after you receive a scrap of paper from a chest in the hut given to you by Guy in the Old Camp. Once you’ve got the list, you can begin gathering the necessary items.

The Six Ingredients You’ll Need

To complete The Forgotten Recipe, you’ll need two of each of the following items:

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

Each of these ingredients can be found in specific locations, and knowing where to look will save you time and frustration.

Scavenger Breast (Raw White Meat)

The easiest way to get Scavenger breast is to kill the chicken-like creatures known as Scavengers. These can be found almost everywhere in the Old Camp area, especially in the fields and forests to the east and west. They’re also commonly spotted near the north gate, where you first enter the town. When you kill them, they drop Raw White Meat, which is the Scavenger breast you need for the recipe.

Solanaceae Herb

Solanaceae herbs are a bit trickier to find. They typically spawn in and around caves. The best spot is the cave where you find Nek during the The Vanished Warder quest, which is just outside the south gate of the Old Camp. You can also find two Solanaceae herbs in the small molerat cave by the bridge at the north gate, as well as in the larger molerat cave to the west of town, near the guarded path to the orcs.

Onions, Carrots, Potatoes, and Water

For onions, carrots, potatoes, and water, the easiest method is to buy them from Dexter, who runs a market stall in the Old Camp. Look for the stall with hanging cloth covers on the southern side of the town. You can purchase two of each ingredient for a total of 24 ore. If you’re short on cash, you can sell spare weapons, materials, or trophies to earn the necessary funds.

Cooking the Stew

Once you've gathered all the ingredients, return to Snaf, the town's chef, who is standing by the cauldron near the castle gate. He'll cook one batch of the recipe and explain the process. However, you can actually skip the steps he describes — a rare luxury in Gothic Remake.

To cook the stew, you’ll 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. Alternatively, you can use Snaf’s cauldron when he’s asleep at night. Select the Brock’s Stew recipe, and the cauldron will consume the ingredients you’ve gathered. Once the stew is ready, return to Snaf for a taste test, which will complete the quest and reward you with 100 XP.
