Gothic/Admission to the Swamp Camp

From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki

In order to become an initiate of the sect of the Sleeper you need to impress the Baals. They wear distinctive clothing, and require you to perform sometimes complicated tasks. You cannot talk directly to them, so you must find out how to impress them by talking to other people.

Baal Namib[edit]

Silent Lester glitch
When you get Lester to lead you somewhere it is possible that he will become glitched and refuse to speak to you. To avoid this, always solve this part of the admission quest before actually using him as a guide.

Talk to Lester and ask all the topics he offers. When you've run out of topics ask him to lead you to the temple. As soon as you're a short distance away from Namib ask him how to earn Namib's favour, and he will tell you a lie to rehearse. Now tell him you've changed your mind, and he'll go back to the entrance.

Go back to the entrance and he'll speak to you. Say you've renounced the old gods, and everything else will play out from there. Go and stand in front of Namib, who will say you must indeed be worthy. Tell him you want to join the Brotherhood.

Baal Orun[edit]

See The Swampweed Harvest. You'll need to have found Ghorim's Replacement first.

Baal Cadar[edit]

Cast a Sleep scroll on one of his pupils. You can get this from Baal Orun (after completing The Swampweed Harvest) or by choosing it as a reward after distributing weed in the New Camp.

Baal Tyon[edit]

Earthly Rewards
You only need to impress four of the five Baals, so feel free to choose the material rewards if you prefer.

Go to the New Camp and undertake the Canvassing of Customers from Baal Kagan. When he says you can choose your reward ask for his help joining the Brotherhood.

He will give you a Prepared Weed. Go back to the Sect Camp and hand it to Baal Tyron, who will be suitably impressed by it.

Baal Tondral[edit]

See New Souls for the Brotherhood.
