How to reach the Temple of Innos
Step 1
Begin following the mountain route leading toward the temple region. The initial section consists of climbing ledges and navigating elevated pathways.
Step 2
Continue through the cave network and make your way across wooden scaffolding structures. Pay attention to jumps and climbing opportunities, as the route often requires vertical movement.
Step 3
Keep ascending through the mountainous terrain. Several platforming sections connect the different areas, eventually leading toward a waterfall.
Step 4
Enter the cave system hidden behind or near the waterfall. This area serves as the final approach to the temple.
Step 5
Defeat or avoid enemies encountered along the route. Goblins are common, but the most dangerous encounter is a Shadow Beast near the waterfall section.
How to find Magic Runes and Rituals
After entering the temple complex through the waterfall cave, progress into the central chamber. Search the main room carefully.
Collect the book called Magic Runes and Rituals, which is one of the required quest items.
| Item | Location |
|---|---|
| Magic Runes and Rituals | Central room inside the Temple of Innos |
How to find Innos Grace
Leave the temple’s central area and continue progressing upward. Follow the snowy staircase leading toward the highest section of the temple.
At the top, locate a corpse resting near the summit. Loot the body to obtain Innos Grace.
| Item | Location |
|---|---|
| Innos Grace | On a corpse at the top of the snowy stairs |
Returning the texts to Nefarius
Once both texts have been collected, use a teleport rune if available to quickly return to the New Camp. Speak with Nefarius and hand over the recovered artifacts.
After delivering Magic Runes and Rituals and Innos Grace, the quest concludes and Nefarius continues the story involving the magical secrets of the colony.
The Temple of Innos is primarily an exploration-focused quest that tests your climbing skills and endurance rather than presenting complex puzzles. The biggest challenges come from the lengthy mountain ascent, dangerous platforming sections, and the Shadow Beast guarding part of the route. With sufficient preparation and careful navigation, you can recover both sacred texts and complete one of the most memorable expeditions in Gothic 1 Remake.
