How to Unlock The Town in Graveyard Keeper 2: Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Grand Inquisitor Petition & Supply Delivery

Passing the armed checkpoint requires political maneuvering with the church's enforcement arm.

Unlike the original Graveyard Keeper where approaching the town triggered an explosion death cutscene, the sequel treats The Town as an expansive four-district urban center fully open to the player.

The Grand Inquisitor appears on Witch Hill exclusively on Mars Day. He requires practical support for his regional mission: twenty bundles of firewood to fuel trial bonfires and ten promotional flyers to stir up public fervor.

Preparing these resources requires roughly three in-game days. Having these materials ready before the next Mars Day prevents having to wait an entire week for the Inquisitor's return.

First Priorities Upon Entering The Town

The Town opens up massive commercial and narrative opportunities for the mid-game.

Once inside, head directly to the central Market Square to meet master merchants who purchase high-tier agricultural goods and sell luxury building blueprints.

Visit the Masons Brotherhood headquarters to unlock marble cutting contracts, and introduce yourself to the Harbour dockmaster to initiate deep-sea fishing access.

Establishing your presence in The Town transitions your economy from manual subsistence into commercial wholesale trading, setting the stage for Act III restoration.

Town Council Ranks and Harbour Shipping Docks

Climbing the civic ranks from humble rural Gravedigger to honored Town Council Magistrate.

Passing through the Town Gate is only the beginning of your civic journey. The Town features four distinct reputation ranks: Vagrant, Resident, Merchant Guildsman, and Council Magistrate. Each tier unlocks specialized vendors, exotic blueprints, and access to the prestigious Harbour Shipping Docks.

To increase your Town reputation, complete civic restoration contracts posted on the Town Hall Bulletin Board. Rebuilding the Eastern Aqueduct and paving Market Square with cobblestones grants hundreds of civic goodwill points, unlocking the purchase of rare Silk and Damascus Steel.

Ascending to Council Magistrate cements your economic hegemony over the entire valley, funding late-game architectural marvels.
