The Orc Cemetery is where Gothic 1 Remake Chapter 2 wraps up, and it earns that distinction. After the ceremony at the Swamp Camp Temple goes sideways, you're sent into a skull-gated burial ground to find a lost Templar named Baal Lukor, piece together a broken key, and uncover the connection between the Orcs and the Sleeper. Expect a lot of combat, some backtracking through dark tunnels, and a boss fight you probably didn't see coming.
How do you get into the Orc Cemetery?
Once the ceremony ends, find Talas sitting under a lean-to to the right of the Temple exit. Talk to him and he'll guide you to the bridge just before the cemetery entrance. Past the bridge, you'll move through a rocky stretch populated with a Bloodhound, Biters, and Orc Scouts. Clear them out before worrying about the door.
The entrance is a massive stone skull door, and it doesn't open with a key or a lever. Grab the shortbow and arrows from the ground to the right of the door. Two wooden target locks sit on either side of the skull door, and shooting both of them triggers the mechanism. Aim slightly above each lock to compensate for arrow drop, and the door will swing open.
Shoot both locks to open
Navigating the tunnels and finding Baal Lukor
Inside the cemetery tunnels, Orcs are the main threat. Their 3-hit attack combo can stun-lock you if you stand still and trade blows. The reliable counter is to dodge and wait for them to pause after the third swipe, then punish. A ranged weapon works well here if you want to play it safer. Loot every body you pass since the items sell well back at camp.
Keep pushing through the tunnels until you reach a room where Baal Lukor is cornered by Orcs. Help him fight them off, then exhaust every dialogue option with him. He'll mention a stone door that needs a two-part key, which sets up the next section.
Exhaust all dialogue options
Where are both halves of the Gravestone Key?
This is the part where most players lose time. The two key halves are in separate areas connected by a drop and a broken lever puzzle.
First key half
Head down the left corridor from Baal Lukor's room. Kill the Orc guarding it and loot the corpse in that area to find the first half of the Gravestone Key. Drop down through the hole in the floor to your left. Two more Orcs wait below, along with a gated door that has a broken lever mounted to the left of it. You can't open it yet.
Finding the Orc Lever
Leave that room and go straight through the corridor, then turn left. More Orcs block the path. Eventually you'll drop into another chamber with additional enemies. Loot the bodies on the ground and you'll find the Orc Lever sitting next to two corpses.
Backtrack to the broken lever door and install the Orc Lever in the empty mount. The door opens, revealing the second half of the Gravestone Key inside.
How do you use the Gravestone Key?
Once you have both halves, return to Baal Lukor and speak with him again. Head back up to the room with the stone door and use the now-complete Gravestone Key to open it. The next room has four Orcs to clear and a ruby sitting on the altar worth grabbing. Behind the altar, stone steps lead up to another door that Baal Lukor opens using a Focus Stone.

What happens in the final room?
Follow Baal Lukor through to the last chamber and speak with him before the confrontation. The conversation turns hostile and you'll need to fight Baal Lukor. Defeat him and take his Focus Stone.
Before you leave, loot thoroughly. The room contains the Sword of Fear, and a chest in one of the hallway rooms holds the Warrior's Ring of Power along with potions and scrolls. There are also two chests on the upper level as you exit the previous room, so don't skip the climb.
How do you complete the quest and finish Chapter 2?
With the Focus Stone in hand, travel back to the Swamp Camp and speak to Cor Angar. That conversation completes the quest and closes out Chapter 2. The reward is 2,000 EXP plus ore nuggets, which is a solid payout for the amount of combat this quest demands.
If you're still working through earlier quests, the Gothic 1 Remake beginner's guide covers the basics of surviving the opening hours without quest markers holding your hand. Joining a faction is also worth planning ahead, and the walkthrough for joining the New Camp is a good reference if you haven't committed yet. For everything else across the game's RPG content, the full Gothic 1 Remake guides collection has you covered.
