Goat of Warding #1 (Graveyard, Village)

The first Goat of Wardening can be found in the Graveyard just after the first Lycan attack in the Village. The Goat is on a wooden podium with candles on either side of it.

Goat of Warding #2 (Church, Village)

In the Graveyard of the Village, you can find a Church where you can use the typewriter to save progress. On top of the Church, you will find a Goat of Wardening.

Goat of Warding #3 (Fallow Plot, Village)

In the Fallow Plot area of the Village, continue north before the gate to Luiza’s House, where you will want to take a left over the fence and look towards the brick wall to find this Goat of Wardening sitting on top.

Goat of Warding #4 (Vineyard, Castle Dimitrescu)

After escaping Heisenberg, pull the lever that will provide access to the Vineyard. Within the Vineyard, stick to the left among the scarecrows, and look to the corner where you’ll find a Goat of Wardening on some rocks in the north end of the field, before meeting the Duke.

Goat of Warding #5 (Distillery, Castle Dimitrescu)

As you continue to progress through Castle Dimitrescu, you will eventually solve the Hall of Ablution puzzle, which opens a pathway downstairs into the Distillery. Inside this room, you can find a Goat of Wardening when facing southwest.

Goat of Warding #6 (Attic, Castle Dimitrescu)

After the Aetilier bell puzzle, head up the ladder into the Attic. Once you’ve reached the top of the ladder, immediately turn around to face the north wall, where this Goat of Warding awaits your bullet.

Goat of Warding #7 (Lone Road, Village)

After escaping Castle Dimitrescu, head through to the Lone Road, where you can then take a left to a drawbridge instead of going towards the Village. Opposite the bridge is a small tunnel that you can enter, with a Goat of Warding sitting inside.

Goat of Warding #8 (West Old Town, Village)

Head into the Village and venture through the south alley from the Maiden of War, and then head east through a gate. You’ll find two buildings here, and looking at the small shack to the south will reveal a Goat of Warding on a metal sheet.

Goat of Warding #9 (Cemetery, Village)

Head through the Church in the Graveyard, where there is a locked door that requires the Iron Insignia Key. Inside, and to the southeast, you’ll find a Goat of Warding in the snow beside a grave plot.

Goat of Warding #10 (Potter’s Field, Village)

As you use the Four-Winged Key in the Altar area of the Village, continue on the foggy linear path until you reach a bridge. While on the bridge, look to your left to find a Goat of Warding on a distant bridge.

Goat of Warding #11 (House Beneviento)

When you arrive at House Beneviento, avoid the main doors and instead take a left through to the garden. Face the iron fence, and you’ll see the Goat of Warding stuck on the ledge.

Goat of Warding #12 (1st Windmill, Moreau’s Reservoir)

After a cutscene with Chris, you can continue through the area past the building and the truck to reach the first windmill. You will need to follow around the windmill towards the south, where you can find this Goat of Warding sitting among the wooden logs on the track.

Goat of Warding #13 (Reservoir)

This Goat of Warding can be found to the north during the Reservoir section, where you are trying to evade Moreau from eating you. After you push down your first cart, go down the path it was blocking and look opposite the fuse box. In the distance, you will see the Goat of Warding standing on a post towards the collapsed windmill.

Goat of Warding #13 must be acquired before you get the Crank, or else it will despawn and require you to load an older save file.

Goat of Warding #14 (Bouthouse Post-Moreau)

After you have beaten Moreau, return towards the boathouse where you initially used the Boat Key. You’ll notice that to the west, a new area has opened up thanks to the broken windmill. At the back of the broken windmill, you can find this Goat of Warding standing on the rubble.

Goat of Warding #15 (Otto’s Mill, Village)

Follow northeast of the Graveyard in the Village, where instead of going straight to Heisenberg’s Stronghold, you can travel through the tall wheat fields to reach Otto’s Mill. Underneath the building, by following the water path, you can find a Goat of Warding in an altar.

Goat of Warding #15 (Stronghold)

Navigate through the Stronghold, where, after a wave of lycans in the building itself, you can venture down a long spiral staircase. At the bottom of the staircase, before the gap in the wall, you can find a Goat of Warding hiding by some buckets.

Goat of Warding #17 (Grinder Shaft, Heisenberg’s Factory)

In the B2 area of Heisenberg’s Factory, you will eventually make your way up through the Ventilation Duct, where you will almost be sucked into a turbine until you destroy it. When you land, you will want to head south towards the Grinder Shaft, where, on the edge of the barrier, is a Goat of Warding.

Goat of Warding #18 (Elevator, B3, Heisenberg’s Factory)

While on B3, face towards the elevator where Duke can be found. You will want to stand a few paces back from the elevator, and then look up, as you will be able to see a Goat of Warding on a red beam that takes you up to B1. You can also shoot this Goat of Warding at close range by watching the west side from the elevator when you take it up to B1.

Goat of Warding #19 (Control Room, B1, Heisenberg’s Factory)

Progress deeper into Heisenberg’s Factory, where you will eventually have a mini-boss encounter with an enemy with a jet propeller for a face. After this encounter, continue on the path where you will enter an office. Within the office on the east wall, you can find a vent that you can crouch into, and in the secret room, there is a Goat of Warding on a barrel.

Goat of Warding #20 (Megamycete Cave)

The final Goat of Warding can be found after the Heisenberg’s Factory chapter. Once you finish a small cutscene involving the Megamycete, immediately turn to the right, where you can find a statue of a woman, and the Goat of Warding is at the foot of this statue.
