For players trying to join the Swamp Camp in Chapter 1 of the Gothic Remake, the quest “New Souls for the Brotherhood” is a vital step. Given to you by Baal Tondral, this mission requires you to recruit a disenchanted Old Camp resident named Dusty.
Tracking down the exact Gothic Remake Dusty location is only half the battle. Many players run into a wall when Dusty hits them with a blunt “Not now“ dialogue line. Unfortunately, this bug stalls the quest. This guide walks you through exactly where Dusty hangs out and the exact prerequisites needed to break his silent treatment.

Gothic Remake Dusty Location
In the Old Camp (evening), Dusty is easily spotted in the Market area listening to Baal Parvez speak. At other times of the day, search the upper/outer ridge directly overlooking the circular fire pit area where vendors like Dexter, Fisk and Torrez reside.
How to Recruit Dusty in Gothic Remake
To successfully recruit Dusty and escort him without triggering an early failure, the game expects a very specific sequence of events:
Talk to Baal Tondral.
Head to the southeastern section of the Swamp Camp, near the blacksmith. Speak to Baal Tondral to pick up the recruitment quest.
Fix Dusty’s “Not Now” Dialogue
To bypass Dusty’s refusal to talk, look for Melvin within the Swamp Camp. He can usually be found listening to Baal Tondral’s lectures. Speak to Melvin about his experience transitioning to the Brotherhood; this dialogue flag is mandatory to unlock Dusty’s recruitment lines later.
Find Dusty
Travel back to the Old Camp. In the evening, Dusty is in the Market area listening to Baal Parvez speak.
How to Pass Old Camp Guards With Dusty
Tell Dusty that his friend Melvin is doing well, and he will agree to leave. Lead him toward the Old Camp’s south gate (the exit near the collapsed tower structure). To pass safely, you must pay the guard a bribe of 100 Nuggets. Avoid being rude or admitting you are helping Dusty defect or the guards will attack.
Deliver Dusty to Baal Tondral
Guide Dusty down the paths back to the Swamp Camp. Note that even if Dusty remarks on how nice the camp looks upon entering, he will remain glued to your side. You must physically walk him directly over to Baal Tondral to hand over the recruit and finish the quest.
