Getting a place to sleep in the New Camp can be quite the challenge in Gothic 1 Remake. During the A Roof Over My Head quest, you’ll be tasked with finding a house for yourself for which you’ll need to deal with a bandit named Shrike. In this guide, we’ve outlined everything you need to know for completing the quest as efficiently as possible.
Starting the Quest by Finding Gorn
You’ll need to start by going to the New Camp. Once you enter the camp, go towards the right and you’ll find Gorn leaning against a wall. Walk over to Gorn and ask him for a place to sleep to which he will explain how there’s only one hut available and that is currently being used by a bandit named Shrike. He’ll suggest that you can deal with Shrike and take the hut for yourself.
Finding Shrike
To locate Shrike, you’ll need to go to the opposite side of the New Camp, and you’ll find Shrike fixing the hut. Go over to him and ask if he’ll allow you to sleep in there. Shrike will tell you to get lost and this will be your opportunity to start a fight with him. Your objective now is to defeat Shrike by hitting him until he falls unconscious on the ground.
Once Shrike becomes unconscious, you are free to loot his belongings before he wakes up. After you’ve gathered everything from him, you will need to return to Gorn and inform him that the work has been completed. Hearing this, Gorn will reward you with 100 XP and the quest will then be completed.
Note: One of the most significant things that Shrike has in his inventory is the Sting Mace, which is described as one of the strongest weapons to be acquired in the early stages of the game, so be sure to check it out.
