The brotherhood is quite a sect. These cultists run the Swamp Camp in the remake, and it’s harder to get to them than to the Old Camp. The main problem is to understand what the Baals want in general. Especially The Cor Feces. But there is no place without the support of four Baals, and one of them is Orun.

To earn Orun’s trust, you will have to complete not one, but two tasks. The first is “Collecting marsh grass.” And keep in mind: there’s nothing to do there without ranged weapons. You’ll have to kill a lot of bloodsuckers.

How do I launch the “Swamp Grass Collection”?

First, talk to Baal Orun. But he won’t talk in the usual way — first you need to close the Gorim Replacement task. Go to the arena, where people are pushing grass under the guidance of Orun. There you will find Gorim, one of the novices. Talk to him, and he’ll ask you to find Harlock and send him on shift.

Harlock stands at the foot of the stairs that lead to the Castle. Tell him to come back. It won’t work verbally: you’ll have to beat him. After the fight, Harlock dutifully goes to work.

Go back to the Gorim, close the task, exit the jostling area and wait for a few minutes (you can exit and go back in). Now Baal Orun will start the conversation himself — and give you a new job. This is the start of the “Marsh Grass Harvest”.

Where can I find a Balor collector?

Orun will send you to the pickers for new grass, but he won’t tell you the location. The first collector is a Balor, he lives outside the Swamp Camp.

How to get there: from the grass crush area, look outside — there’s a sign at the fork. Turn onto the right road and walk until you pass through a giant tree trunk. Keep going to the big house, then turn left, and turn right at the tent. Cross the bridge, turn right again, and you’ll see Balor under the canopy.

Talk to him, get the grass. By the way, for 50 nuggets, Balor will reveal the name of the one who buys fresh grass. The merchant’s name is Cipher, and he lives in a tavern on the lake in the New Camp. The information is optional, but useful.

Where is Viran hiding and how to clean up the bloodsuckers?

Now to the next collector, Viran. The easiest way to get from Balor is by returning to the Swamp Camp. Find Baal Kadar and start from him. Move to the opposite side, then turn left once you pass the house inside the tree trunk.

Follow the path, cross the bridge. Then go down into the giant tree trunk and turn left again. Drive straight to Viran’s house. He’s resting upstairs.

Have you talked? Now Viran will have to clean up all the bloodsuckers in the area. It’s not an easy task. Get a good long-range weapon and plenty of arrows. Well, or close combat, if you’re really desperate.

Groups of bloodsuckers around Viran’s house

The first group is at the beach. Exit from Viran, immediately to the right. Follow the path until you hit the beach. There they are. Killed? Come back.

The second group is in the opposite direction. Move from the house to the wooden bridge, but turn left before reaching it and continue along the path. Bloodsuckers hide among the trees.

The third group. Cross the first bridge. There is a dense forest in front of you. Get deep inside — there are four bloodsuckers. (Yes, as many as four, not a mistake.)

The fourth group. Go to the end of the island, turn left and try to jump the river to the neighboring wooded island. There are three more. Kill them all and the task is completed.

Go back to Viran and get your share of fresh marsh grass.

Should I give the grass to Kor Kalom or sell it to Cipher?

So, you have the grass. Two options.

The first one is to give the Kor to Kaloma. Then you complete the task and become a member of the Brotherhood in the Swamp Camp. Plus, then visit Baal with Orun — he will give you a scroll of sleep. Very useful magic to impress Baal Kadar.

The second option is to take the Cipher grass to the New Camp. The same merchant that Balor was talking about.

For this, you will receive loot (nuggets and, possibly, something else). But the entrance to the Brotherhood will be closed. So the choice is yours: reputation with the cultists or profit here and now.
