Although the Brotherhood Plan quest in Gothic 1 Remake is tied to the Swamp Camp, you won’t find Caine there, since he’s hiding deep inside an Abandoned Mine near the Old Camp. This guide will provide you with tips and tricks on how to find Caine in the game, including the solution to the dungeon puzzle.
Investigate Caine’s Hut in the Camp
If you’re aligned with the Brotherhood, speak to Raven in Gomez’s tower about the plan involving Caine. In every other case, go to the Swamp Camp and speak to Cor Kalom about Caine, which starts “The Lost Apprentice” part of “The Brotherhood’s Plan” mission. Here’s what you need to do:
- Speak to the Templar guarding Cor Kalom and ask about Caine.
- He’ll direct you to Caine’s hut, which is located in the lower part of the Swamp Camp near the Swampweed mashers.
- From the entrance, where Lester is, go right along the water path and pass the mashers on the left.
- Inside the hut, pick up the Drawing of the Abandoned Mine on a crate opposite the bed.
Note that you can also speak to Nyras nearby for more info, but it’s optional. Return to Lester at the Swamp Camp entrance and show him the drawing. As a result, he’ll confirm that it’s the Abandoned Mine near the Old Camp’s Exchange Zone. Finally, travel to the Abandoned Mine northeast of the Old Camp, past the stone bridge, and speak to the guard Orry.
Enter the Abandoned Mine
The easiest way to enter the mine is to bribe the guard with 200 Ore Nuggets. If you don’t have that much but you’re aligned with the Old Camp, you can tell him that Raven sent you. If none of these apply to your case, then all that’s left to do is fight him and take the key. Once you enter the mine, follow these steps:
- Enter and follow the tracks inside the tunnels and crouch through low sections.
- When you reach the first flooded area, dive in and grab the Detached Winch near some ore nuggets at the bottom.
- Climb to the platform above the underwater gate and attach the winch to the mechanism.
- Rotate it to open the floodgate and dive back in.
- Swim through the open gate and follow the water flow to find an underwater passage to the next area.
There, you’ll have to deal with Molerats, including a Molerat Mother. Once you defeat them, there will be more swimming sections, so just follow the water flow and the ladders. Once you reach a large chamber, prepare to fight the Undead Orc boss. The easiest way to do this is to lure it into water and use ranged attacks or Fire Bolt. In the end, it’ll drop a Strange Amulet and Kush Pach.
Now you can complete the quest by looting Caine’s corpse nearby and confirming his death. Use the Strange Amulet on the doors to exit the mine and report back to Raven or Cor Kalom in the Swamp Camp by showing them the Strange Amulet. In the end, you’ll be rewarded with 1,000 XP, 50 Ore Nuggets, and the Brotherhood’s approval.
