👹 Graveyard Keeper 2 Quest Guide - Story Walkthrough

The story runs on parallel rails: 41 main quests move you through the map, and 51 character quests build the relationships the ending audits. Side quests — 18 of them — are optional flavor and reputation-free. The ending needs the first two categories complete, all of them, not most of them. Every area you unlock exists to make one rail or the other progress faster.

• Main quests gate areas: the graveyard, the town, the forest, and the late Sewers all open through the main line.
• Character quests pay +10 reputation with their NPC — the ending's only reliable reputation income.
• All 51 character quests land each of the six key townsfolk at exactly 90 — the ending bar, by design.
• Keep the Red Eye and the bar moves to 100 with extra requests: strictly more ledger, never less.

Six NPCs hold the ending: Jack, Gunter, the Nun, Herbert, Albert, and Linda, each needing 90 reputation before the Final Battle. At +10 per character quest there is no shortcut, no grind substitute, and no slack — the count is the gate. Treat every character quest you pass by as deferred payment, not skipped content. The keeper who reconciles this early finishes the game calm; the one who does not finishes it farming.
