Where to find Caine in Gothic Remake

Tracking down Caine in Gothic Remake took me longer than I’d like to admit. This missing mole is apparently somewhere in the Swamp Camp, but if you’re ever been to that sprawling mess of ramshackle huts and walkways, you’ll understand the issue. If you recall that Caine is Cor Kalom’s apprentice, then speaking to him will give you some guidance.

Even then, though, you still have to track down his hut based on a very vague description. I’ll run you through The Lost Apprentice quest below, and explain the long process of tracking down Caine.

Where to find Caine in Gothic Remake

As part of Gothic’s main quest, you’ll be sent to the Swamp Camp to find Caine, a mole secretly feeding info back to whichever camp you joined, but tracking him down is a challenge. First off, you’ll want to go see Cor Kalom, the alchemist whose formula you stole in The Cult’s Recipe quest and ask him about Caine’s whereabouts. This will begin The Lost Apprentice quest.

He has no idea where Caine is, but you can find clues in his shack near the Swampweed mashers. You can see how to get to this location in the video above, or follow these instructions below:

From the Swamp Camp entrance where Lester hangs out, go right and follow the path along the water with the pierKeep going past the swamp weed mashers on the left and the first hut, and go into the second on the right

Inside, you’ll find a drawing of the locked Abandoned Mine close to the Exchange Zone which you passed when you started the game, so take this and speak to Lester at the entrance, before heading to the mine in the north-east of the map.

This next section is quite long and there’s a boss at the end, so make sure you’re in a good state to fight with plenty of healing. I recommend completing The Price of Magic if you haven’t got the fire bolt rune and grabbing some swamp weed for mana regen.

Outside the mine, you’ll have to convince Orry to give you the key, which is much easier if you’re with the Old Camp, as you can tell him Raven sent you.

After this, you’ll have to complete quite a long traversal section with lots of underwater swimming. The only tricky part is when you arrive in an area with a big pool and an underwater gate you have to open. Grab the Detached Winch underwater in the center of the pool, then climb to the platform above the gate to attach and open it.

Keep traversing the mine until you reach the ruins, where you’ll find Caine’s corpse, guarded by an undead orc. Defeat this boss, take its strange amulet, and then you simply need to head back to Cor Kalom to complete The Lost Apprentice quest.
