To complete the Orc Cemetery quest in Gothic 1 Remake, you need to speak to Cor Angar, find Talas at the temple square, travel to the Orc Cemetery, find Baal Lukor inside, and complete the cemetery investigation. This Chapter 3 quest rewards 2,750 XP when you report back to Cor Angar.
Orc Cemetery Quest Essentials
How to Complete Orc Cemetery
Step 1: Speak to Cor Angar
After the failed Great Calling, go up to the pedestal where Y’Berion has collapsed and talk to Cor Angar. Learn everything you can from him and he will eventually assign you to search the Orc Cemetery.
This quest investigates the images from your vision.
Step 2: Find Talas at Temple Square
Go down to the temple courtyard at Swamp Camp.
And talk with Talas about going to the Orc Cemetery.
He’ll guide you back up the hill toward the bridge where he was mugged, but detour left at the last second to head for the second bridge across the waters.
Talas won’t accompany you further inside.
Step 3: Travel to Orc Cemetery & Enter
Cross the bridge and follow the path to the cemetery entrance. You’ll encounter Biters, Orc Hunters, and fallen Templars along the route. Turn the winch in the wall to the left of the entrance to open the wooden gate.
Head into the Orc cemetery (catacombs).
Step 4: Find Baal Lukor
Follow the corridor.
And find Baal Lukor fighting orcs in the first burial chamber.
Help him defeat the attackers—Lukor joins you from this point.
Search the mummies in alcoves for potions and artifacts before proceeding.
Step 5: Find the Torn Note Halves
From the hall with three corridors:
-
RIGHT corridor first: At the end, one half of a torn note lies on the floor
-
CENTRAL corridor: The second half sits behind a grate—open it by pressing the switch in the niche at the end.
Step 6: Decipher the Teleport Scroll
Show both halves to Lukor. He cannot translate them—head back to the three-corridor hall where wall inscriptions let him decipher the text: an orcish teleport scroll.
Step 7: Use the Teleport Scroll
Take the LEFT corridor (orc warriors). In the central chamber (four pillars), Lukor addresses you again and leads you to a wall. Cast the teleport scroll at the wall to pass through. Operate the winch on the other side to lower the door.
Step 8: Fight Baal Lukor
Continue the corridor into the hidden chamber. It is empty. Baal Lukor snaps and attacks—fight him down.
You can take the Sword of Death from the large stone in the center after knocking him out.
Step 9: Report to Cor Angar
Return to Cor Angar at Swamp Camp and report Lukor’s fate and the empty chamber to complete the quest [+2,750 XP].
Critical Mistakes to Avoid & Tips for Completion
-
If the winch is stuck: Make sure you’ve fully approached the wall mechanism—sometimes you need to hold the forward button for a few seconds to complete actions like the teleport spell
-
Don’t skip the mummies: Search all four barred alcoves in the first burial chamber—each has switches unlocking the next, containing potions and artifacts
-
Follow the corridor order: RIGHT → CENTRAL → LEFT is mandatory; skipping the sequence prevents finding both note halves
-
Baal Lukor bug: If Lukor goes crazy early, just kill him immediately and return to the cult camp where Y’Berion is
-
Prepare for fighting: You’ll face ~10 Orc Scouts plus an Orc Warrior—bring good weapons/armor before entering
-
Grate switch location: The switch for the central corridor grate is in a niche at the corridor’s end, not near the grate itself.
Getting the Orc Cemetery quest done unlocks critical Chapter 3 progression and that substantial 2,750 XP boost helps power up for upcoming orc encounters.
