Agatha appears in Graveyard Keeper 2 after Jack leaves for the port and sends a letter back. Her quests unlock the church and sermons, giving you a reliable way to earn Faith. Later, the Nun becomes involved in corpse deliveries, lets you improve the quality of newly delivered bodies, and begins a major shared storyline with Herbert. In this guide, we'll cover all of Agatha's quests, the materials they require, and the conditions for unlocking them.
After Jack sails away, return home and wait for his letter, then head to the Village Tavern. Finish your introduction to Januarius first, then speak with Agatha and choose the dialogue options that let you reassure the Nun and try to get out of her proposal. This unlocks the Church Cleaning Technology for free, after which Agatha heads to the old church near your house. The events leading up to Jack's departure are covered in detail in our walkthrough of all Jack's quests.Image unavailableMake sure to enter the church at least once before you start improving it. Visiting the interior is a separate quest condition, so even if you already have all the required materials, the necessary dialogue option with Agatha may not appear until you have gone inside.
How to Raise Church Quality to 10
Agatha is interested specifically in Church Quality, not Graveyard Quality. Start by clearing the debris inside: remove the rubble and smash the broken pots. Some of the work requires Building Mastery 2. Do not remove the Donation Box, as it already provides one point of Church Quality and will later be used to collect money from sermons.The easiest way to get the remaining points early on is to build three Interior Bench I. Each requires 2 Wooden Planks and 6 Bronze Nails, so for all three you need 6 Wooden Planks and 18 Bronze Nails. Finish each structure with a Hammer at Building Mastery 2. Every completed bench adds three Church Quality, which, together with the Donation Box, is enough to reach the required 10.Image unavailableIf you have already rearranged the church in your own way, simply watch the quality value in the interface. There is no reason to build expensive decorations if you are only a couple of points short. Check for uncleared debris and unfinished furniture first.Once Church Quality reaches 10, return to Agatha and tell her everything is ready. She gives you a Basic Prayer and Town Gratitude, then unexpectedly decides that you will be the one conducting the ceremonies.
How to Hold Your First Sermon and Get Faith
Approach the lectern and select the Basic Prayer. You need at least four parishioners to conduct the ceremony, while the number of people who attend depends on Church Quality and your current Happiness. If attendance is too low, use Town Gratitude. Each one restores five Happiness, although there is no point wasting several when the bar is already almost full.Image unavailableIt is better to have at least eight parishioners. At that point, the Basic Prayer has a 100% success chance and rewards more Faith. Hold the sermon, wait for the scene to end, and make sure to close the results window so the conversation with Agatha can continue. After your first sermon, you gain reputation with the Nun, a Story, Priest's Clothes, and the Words of Faith achievement.Pick up the Faith that appears on the floor, and collect the money separately from the Donation Box. The amount of Faith depends on attendance and the result of the sermon, so simply completing the quest does not automatically guarantee that you will have three Faith available for Herbert.If you receive at least 3 Faith, it is best to save them immediately for Herbert's quests. Do not spend them on research or other activities yet. Regular sermons after this point can only be held on Wrath day, so if the first ceremony did not give you enough Faith, wait for the next available sermon and repeat the process.
Nun of Your Business
After the first sermon, Agatha moves to the Crossroads and asks you to bring her some writing supplies. Prepare 5 Clean Paper and 2 Ink.At the Writing Desk, one Leather Scroll produces six sheets of Clean Paper at Book Writing Mastery 1, while 1 Ash, 1 Water, and 1 Melted Fat can be turned into four Ink at Book Writing Mastery 2.This means one craft of each recipe is enough to complete the request with some materials left over. Bring 5 Clean Paper and 2 Ink to Agatha at the Crossroads and hand them over through the corresponding dialogue option. Completing the quest gives you 10 reputation with the Nun.
The Nun with the Hairy Ass
This questline revolves around the conflict between Agatha and Donkey. To trigger it, you need to complete Chasing Fairy Lights and summon Wispy, then see Donkey's conversation about the Nun. Once both conditions are met, wait for the next attempted corpse delivery and visit the morgue.Image unavailableDonkey refuses to continue working while Agatha forbids him from visiting the Crossroads. Normal deliveries are interrupted until the conflict is resolved. We explain the strike and all the reasons corpses may stop arriving in our walkthrough of all Donkey's quests.
How to Reconcile Agatha and Donkey
Find Agatha at the Crossroads and ask her about corpse deliveries. The conversation requires 10 reputation with the Nun, which you can already obtain from her previous quests. Agatha gives you two conditions, and they can be completed in either order.The first is to raise Graveyard Quality to 20. Use the building table, place new gravestones and fences, replace weaker decorations, and bury new bodies until the total reaches the required value. The game checks Graveyard Quality specifically, not Church Quality or character reputation. We explain white and red skulls, grave quality limits, and suitable decorations in our Graveyard Keeper 2 graveyard and corpse guide.Image unavailableThe second condition involves the manhole at the Crossroads. Bring 2 Polished Bronze and 4 Polished Stone, go down through the hatch at the Crossroads, and repair the passage. The work requires Building Mastery 3. Once it is finished, report back to Agatha. You will receive another 10 reputation and 2 Town Gratitude.Once both the graveyard and underground passage objectives are complete, speak with Agatha about corpse deliveries again. She will allow Donkey to return to work. From then on, on Wrath day, you can also choose the desired number of corpses for the following week.Make sure to continue Donkey's questline afterward and personally tell him that the ban has been lifted. Agatha's permission alone is not enough to resume normal deliveries.
Brawns and Brains
After resolving the conflict with Donkey, Agatha gains the ability to improve the quality of future corpses. The first dialogue option requires 30 reputation with the Nun. If you have not reached it yet, check her earlier quests, as enough points are already available by this stage.Agatha first asks you to improve the place where she lives. Prepare 2 Wooden Kit I and 2 Stone Kit, then hand them over through the dialogue option about better corpses. You receive 10 reputation and 1 Town Gratitude, immediately bringing you to the next relationship check at 40.Image unavailableSpeak with Agatha again and ask about improving the bodies one more time. She agrees to pray more diligently over the dead, which raises the quality tier of future corpse deliveries. Bodies already lying in the morgue do not change. The bonus only applies when a new corpse is generated.You can then complete another upgrade. Bring 2 Furniture Kit I and 2 Building Kit I, give them to Agatha, and receive another 1 Town Gratitude. All future corpses will now come from a better quality pool, although Donkey's delivery schedule and the morgue capacity limit still work as before.
The Nun Also Reads
This quest begins after you return the Love Novel obtained through Davy to Herbert. The required stages are covered in our walkthrough of all Davy's quests and walkthrough of all Herbert's quests. After giving him the book, visit Agatha and ask her to read it for your friend.The conversation requires 20 reputation. Agatha agrees to help, but first demands a proper Choir in the church. Research Church Music I for 50 red and 20 blue tech points. It becomes available after Church Carpets and unlocks both Music Notes and the Choir.
How to Build the Choir
Use the church building table to construct the Choir. It requires 4 Oiled Planks, 2 Bronze Details, and 4 Music Notes.Four Music Notes are crafted at the Writing Desk from 8 Clean Paper and 4 Ink at Book Writing Mastery 5.You do not need to finish the Choir separately with a Hammer. The materials are consumed immediately when the structure is placed. Once it is built, return to Agatha and tell her the Choir is ready. During the conversation, the Keeper effectively gives her permission to leave the Crossroads briefly and attend the next sermon.Now hold another sermon and make sure the Choir is active. A regular sermon held earlier does not count. After the ceremony, close the results window and watch the scene with Agatha. You receive 10 reputation and 2 Town Gratitude, after which you can return to Herbert and continue his Reader for a Warrior quest.
Notorious Nun
This part of Agatha's storyline becomes available after the election. After the corresponding conversation and the scene outside the tavern, visit Agatha at the Crossroads and ask about Herbert.The Nun admits that being friends with the captain of the guard is damaging her fearsome reputation, so she decides to restore his righteous fury with a massive church organ.Image unavailableThe conversation gives you another 10 reputation and opens two parallel objectives. The first asks you to improve the church again, while the second sends Herbert to clear a route to the woodcarvers near the western lake. You can complete these branches in either order.To reach the woodcarvers, continue Herbert's Still Standing on Stilts quest. Winning the battle unlocks the Stilt Houses and Harold's separate questline, which is required to obtain the material for the Organ.
See You in Church
At the same time, Agatha asks you to raise Church Quality to 50. The basic early-game benches are no longer enough, so you will need to gradually improve the interior and use more effective church furniture. The game only checks the final value. No items or Church Quality are consumed when you report back.Once Church Quality reaches 50, return to the Crossroads and tell Agatha about the improvements. You receive another 10 reputation. If the Organ quest is already complete, The House at the Crossroads begins immediately. Otherwise, finish the other branch first.
How to Build the Organ
After opening the western route, find Harold at the Stilt Houses. He first needs help with his equipment, after which he begins selling Special Wood. This intermediate stage is best completed through Harold's full questline and Organic Music.The Organ requires 4 Special Wood and 6 Steel Details. The structure is unlocked through Church Music II and placed using the building table inside the church. Once it is finished, make sure to report the completed Organ to both Agatha and Herbert, as their questlines converge again at this point.
The House at the Crossroads
This quest becomes available once Church Quality reaches 50 and Agatha has been told about the completed Organ. Return to her and agree to help with a delicate favor. The Nun wants to turn her home into a proper place for Herbert to retire from service and move in with her.The Brawns and Brains corpse-upgrade branch must also be fully completed first. If it is, prepare 2 Wooden Kit II and 2 Furniture Kit II, then give all four items to Agatha through the dialogue option about making a proper home for two.This improvement also raises future corpse deliveries by another tier, reaching the highest quest-based quality level. Existing bodies in the morgue are unaffected, so you will only notice the change on future deliveries from Donkey.
A Good Example is the Best Sermon
After upgrading the house and completing Organic Music, go to the church and hold another sermon, this time with the Organ active. A normal sermon without the Organ does not count, even if it was held after the instrument had already been built.Image unavailableAfter the ceremony, close the results window and watch the scene with Agatha and Herbert. Both characters gain 10 reputation, while you receive Story II and unlock the An Unlikely Pair achievement.If Herbert has already received 5 Steel Armor sets for his own quest, the next shared chapter begins immediately. Otherwise, finish his armor objective first.
Well-Deserved Rest
Once you have held the Organ sermon and delivered 5 Steel Armor sets to Herbert, sleep once and head to the Crossroads. Agatha and Herbert will now be living together in the upgraded house. Enter the building, then leave again to trigger a scene and unlock two new gift recipes.Herbert needs a Trilogy. Craft it at the Printing Press using 3 Blank Hardcover Notebooks, 3 Ink, and 3 Story III at Book Writing Mastery 7. Giving the Trilogy to Herbert increases Agatha's reputation by 10 and also rewards you with 3 Town Gratitude.For Agatha, craft a Speech Writing Device at the Steel Anvil. The recipe requires 1 Engineering Detail and 2 Steel Screws. This time the situation is reversed: you give the item to Agatha, but Herbert gains 10 reputation, and you receive another 3 Town Gratitude.If you kept the Red Eye during Friend or Foe, both gifts also count toward the Old God's additional preparation route for the finale.
Wrath and Sloth
Agatha's final major quest begins during Eye, Red Eye. Go to the house at the Crossroads, where Agatha and Herbert now live together, and ask them to help restore the portal.If you previously returned the Red Eye, you need 90 reputation with each character. If you kept the item and followed the alternate attic route, the requirement increases to 100 reputation with both Agatha and Herbert. Reputation is only checked and is not consumed, so your relationship values remain unchanged after the conversation.If you are short on reputation, check Agatha's previous quests. It is particularly easy to miss the corpse-quality upgrades, the Choir sermon, raising Church Quality to 50, or the gifts from Well-Deserved Rest.The 100-reputation route also adds another objective involving a Comfortable Chair. Completing it grants the missing 10 reputation to both Agatha and Herbert.Once the reputation check is complete, Agatha and Herbert agree to help with the finale. You also need the support of Jack and Gunter, as well as Linda and Albert, before you can continue to the final questline and The Last Battle in Graveyard Keeper 2.``` :chatgpt-content-reference{index="0"}
