All 7 Portal Fragments: Where They Are and How to Get Them

The seven fragments at a glance

Here is the whole shopping list for one broken portal. The number is the order the story hands the pieces out. Envy and Pride open at the same moment, so those two can swap places depending on which one you finish first.

Why the names sound familiar

The week in Graveyard Keeper 2 has six days, shown as glyphs: Gluttony, Sloth, Lust, Envy, Pride and Wrath, then back to Gluttony. Each glyph is the symbol on one portal fragment. Greed is the odd one out: no day carries its name, and it is the final piece.

The collection order is not tied to the calendar, even if the two lists look alike, so there is no point waiting for Sloth to go looking for Sloth. Only one fragment is sold on a set day: Lust, which you can only buy on Lust. Several battles on the way are Sloth-only, though, the Final Battle that guards Greed included, so the weekly calendar still matters.

Before the hunt: reaching the Royal Foundry

The hunt properly starts at the Royal Foundry, run by monks under the old Bathhouse in the zombie-held north of Town. Four quests lead up to it:

1. Any Portal in a Storm, which opens after Heart of the Swamp. Ask Larry at home about the portal, then Gunter in his tower (the quest pays a silver Story). Gunter points you to a former Bishop now living in the Royal Foundry.
2. Front-of-the-Envelope Calculation, which opens after the election (Campaign of Thrones). With Jack at 60 reputation, choose to look at his calculations at the workshop, then ask about the water tunnel.
3. Water Locked: Herbert asks you to close the ship lock’s western gate.
4. Steamy Royal: Herbert again, this time through the Water Tunnel and the Bathhouse basement into the Foundry, where you meet the Bishop and his monks.

Magic Mirror, the first fragment quest, needs both Any Portal in a Storm and Steamy Royal. Any Portal in a Storm is also one of the prerequisites of Even More Portal Parts much later, so it is not optional.

The battles on the fragment path

These are the battles between you and a complete portal. The squad number is the most squads you may bring, hired mercenaries included, not a requirement.

The Bathhouse battle asked for 96 power before patch 1.007; 88 is the current figure. In the two-part fights, Part II has no power check of its own, but the mercenaries you hired for Part I are gone, so your zombie squads and structures must carry it. A loss in Part II sends you back to Part I, and neither part pays out until Part II is won.

The Western Floodgate, both Eastern Floodgate parts, both POTATO parts and the Final Battle each pay 10 Zombie goo and, as of 1.008, 16 Town Gratitude. The Bathhouse battle pays 3 Keys for Looters, 1 Victory Banner, 4 Zombie goo and 1 Defender’s Emblem, but no Gratitude. Squad building, towers and barricades are covered in the battles and army guide.

The game only saves when you sleep, so sleep before the Bathhouse battle and check afterwards that its Defender’s Emblem and Victory Banner actually reached your inventory (look on the ground too, and reload if they vanished). That Emblem opens your fourth squad slot at the Barracks, the one the Final Battle’s four-squad cap is waiting for, and the Banner pays for extra Barracks building space. With 144 power to find, you want both.

Fragment 1: Sloth, the Bishop’s price

1. At the Royal Foundry, choose The Magic Portal with the Bishop and let his Mirror finish. The vain talking mirror sees far-off places and reveals where each fragment lies, which is how the rest of this list exists.
2. Give the Bishop 3 Zombie Power. He hands over Sloth.
3. Take Sloth to the Astrologer’s Tower and insert it. This opens The Hungry Cosmos.

The catch is the Zombie Power. Only the Bioreactor in the Factory makes it: 5 Wheat become 1 Zombie Power, automatically, with no zombie working the machine and only Farming mastery 1. Three units means 15 Wheat. Wheat goes in on the left side of the machine and the output comes out on the right.

If you have not built one yet, research Bioreactor in the Building tree (130 red and 20 blue points on the node, but 897 red, 37 green and 140 blue from a fresh tree, so check tech priorities first), then build it with 10 Glass, 8 Bronze Gear and 6 Advanced Detail. The crafting calculator breaks the three units down for you.

Fragment 2: Gluttony, Gunter’s souvenir

The cheapest piece in the game. Once Magic Mirror is done, go to the Astrologer’s Tower and choose Piece of a portal with Gunter. He gives you Gluttony, which also earns +10 reputation with him, then admits he sold another piece to a merchant. That confession starts High Price.

The portal frame is in the same tower, so insert Gluttony before you even leave the room.

Fragment 3: Lust, 1 gold and only on Lust

1. Ask the Trademaster at the Main Pier about the portal piece.
2. Come back on a Lust day, when the trade ship is in, with 1 gold in hand (that is 100 silver, or 10,000 bronze), and buy the fragment.
3. Insert it at the tower.

Turned up on the wrong day? The ship docks every Lust, so simply come back the following Lust. Lust is a busy day at the Port anyway: Green Scrolls for Linda and looter orders with Davy the Dagger at the Dockside Club happen on the same day, so one trip can cover all three.

Inserting Lust is the big junction of the hunt. It gives +10 reputation with Gunter and a bronze Story, and opens three quests at once:

• Green Fragment, the Envy hunt.
• More Portal Parts, the Pride hunt.
• Why don’t you like me?, Gunter’s PR target: hold at least 100 Likes and talk to him for +10.

That last one gives no fragment, but the finale needs every main and character quest, because they supply the reputation. Town Gratitude is a usable item worth 5 Likes each and the only way to store Likes, so keep the 16 Gratitude each floodgate and POTATO win pays since 1.008. Your Likes cap must also be high enough to hold 100: Green Scrolls given to Linda raise Town quality, and the cap rises with it (see Town restoration and the Town Gratitude guide).

Fragment 4: Envy, the ship lock floor

Envy lies in debris on the floor of the drained ship lock in the Sluice Area, the canal locks in the north of Town. Three conditions must all be true before you can dig it out:

1. Lust is inserted. That is what starts Green Fragment and makes the debris workable.
2. The lock is drained. Closing the Western Floodgate, from Water Locked, takes care of that.
3. The floor is secured. Win Operation POTATO, Parts I and II, from Dirt Rights. Herbert only offers Dirt Rights once both Water Locked and A Cure for Wellness (Linda’s post-election quest about Albert’s cough) are done.

Then walk down onto the lock floor, work the fragment debris, collect Envy and insert it at the tower for another bronze Story.

Fragment 5: Pride, Jack at 80 reputation

More Portal Parts runs in two talks at Jack’s Workshop, just inside the Town gate:

1. With Jack at 60 reputation, choose Portal fragment.
2. With Jack at 80, finish his Incoming data talk. He hands over Pride.
3. Insert Pride at the tower.

Getting from 60 to 80 is the real work. Two character quests give exactly the 20 points:

Man of Steel. At the Royal Foundry, ask the Bishop about high-quality steel. That opens his steel shop: Steel Ingots cost 1 silver each, sold in packs of 1, 10, 50 or 100, and the Foundry is the only place to get them, since steel cannot be smelted. The quest dialogue mentions a single ingot, but the hand-in takes three. The quest pays +10 Jack and 3 Town Gratitude.

Factory Tour. The Factory rating is the lower of two numbers: conveyor demand and staffed Carousel capacity, where each zombie working a Carousel gives 7 power (10 with the Belt Master talent). Both must reach 20; a demand of 10 with a capacity of 21 still rates as 10. A cheap layout that works: 20 ordinary Conveyor Belt pieces (20 Bronze Gear and 20 Fabric) for a demand of 20, and three staffed Carousel positions for a capacity of 21. Keep capacity at or above demand as you add machines, or the whole Factory stops, Bioreactor included. Then choose Show my factory with Jack.

Fragment 6: Wrath, back at your own base

After crossing half the Town for five fragments, the sixth turns out to be at home. The fifth insertion, whichever of Envy and Pride came last, starts Even More Portal Parts and marks debris at your Inquisition Base. Work it to collect Wrath, then carry it to the tower.

Picking up Wrath and inserting it are two separate steps. Palace Politics, the next quest, only starts after the insertion.

Fragment 7: Greed, the Palace

Greed waits in the Palace, in the zombie-held heart of the north of Town, and nobody gets in before the Final Battle. The route:

1. Palace Politics. Inserting Wrath opens Palace Politics. Talk to Davy the Dagger at the Dockside Club, pay him 50 silver, then go home and step outside to receive his briefing. Davy talks of needing a day or two, but there is no set wait.
2. The three help quests. Gluttony and Pride (Jack and Gunter), Lust and Envy (Linda and Albert) and Wrath and Sloth (Agatha and Herbert) each need high reputation with both characters: 90, or 100 on one branch of a late story choice.
3. The Last Battle. Once those are done, a new battle marker appears. On one branch of the late story choice a follow-up scene has to play first, so if no marker shows, sleep at home. Talk to Larry and the guards there, then win the Final Battle: 144 defense power, up to 4 squads, Sloth only. Mercenaries take a squad slot; barricades and archer towers count toward the power. It pays 10 Zombie goo, 16 Town Gratitude and 200 red tech points for each zombie that fought.
4. The Palace meeting. Climb up to the Palace and see the meeting through. You leave with Greed.
5. The last insertion. Return to the Astrologer’s Tower and insert Greed. This finishes the portal and leads straight into the final choice.

Planning the week around the fragments

The six-day week runs Gluttony, Sloth, Lust, Envy, Pride, Wrath. Sloth and Lust sit back to back, which suits this hunt: fight on Sloth, shop at the Main Pier the next morning.

When the hunt stalls

More blockers, including reputation gates outside the fragment chain, are in the stuck progression guide.

Common mistakes

• Spending your steel before Jack gets his. Keep 3 Steel Ingots aside for Man of Steel. Without them Jack stalls at 60, and Pride stalls with him.
• Building belts without Carousel staff, or the reverse. The Factory rating takes the lower of demand and capacity, so twenty belts with a single zombie on a Carousel rate only 7, and with demand above capacity the whole Factory stops, Bioreactor included.
• Waiting to start Zombie Power until the Bishop asks. The Bioreactor needs a technology and a build before it makes anything, and it stops whenever the Factory runs short of power. Have it running before the Bathhouse battle.
• Fighting the Bathhouse battle without a fresh save. Its Defender’s Emblem opens the fourth squad slot and its Victory Banner buys Barracks building space, both of which you will miss when the Final Battle asks for 144 power. Sleep first and check your inventory afterwards.
• Walking past the free milestones in the north. Activate the Sluice Area and Royal Foundry posts on arrival; they cost nothing and save very long walks.

Once Greed is in, the portal is whole and the only question left is whether you go through it. The walkthrough places every fragment quest in the full story, act by act.
