Graveyard Keeper 2 Herbert

Updated 2026-10-06 · Searched as “graveyard keeper 2 herbert 55”

Short answer

Herbert's 55 check is the first step of the main quest Security Checkpoint: Democracy, which opens after Election Fever. At 55 reputation you can talk to him about election security, but convincing him needs 60 — and that first talk does not give you the missing 5. Finish another Herbert quest in between, then return to the Barracks.

Armed units fight around wooden barricades and medieval houses, with health bars above them.

Who Herbert is

Herbert is the head of the guards at the Barracks in The Town. He has the Keeper bury the fallen and sends you into the battles against the zombies.

He is tied to 15 quests, from Certificate, Please at the start to Still Standing on Stilts.

The 55 and 60 checks

Security Checkpoint: Democracy has two steps. Step 1: speak with Herbert at the Barracks about security during the elections — needs 55+ reputation.

Step 2: convince him to handle security — needs 60+.

Finishing it unlocks Campaign of Thrones, together with Vote Early, Vote Naughty and Destiny Polls.

Where his reputation comes from

Certificate, Please (bring him a Burial Certificate) and Grave Expectations (raise graveyard quality to 10) are early +10s.

Herbert and? asks you to hand him a Love Novel at the Barracks, and The Nun Also Reads has Agatha read to him.

Not in Shining Armor Yet asks for 5 Steel Armor — each is 4 Steel Ingots, 4 Steel Details and 4 Fabric, so stock steel from the Bishop first.

Reporting victories in his battles also raises it. At 20 reputation the Reinforced Plank technology becomes available.

The keeper stands among gravestones on an autumn path below the church entrance.

The graveyard from the official media kit. Raising its quality to 10 is one of Herbert's early requests.
