Graveyard Keeper 2Alchemy
Alchemical recipes are made at a Laboratory. According to the game’s tutorial, some items carry red, green or blue runes, you need the exact amount of each rune from your ingredients, and crafting also needs 
alchemy flasks (loaded on the 
Flask shelf) and 
fuel. Studying items at the 
Study Table can reveal the runes an item carries, and every formula you discover is recorded in the 
Folio. This page lists each formula’s rune total with example mixes, and the runes each ingredient carries.

Ingredients
Section titled “Ingredients”
No matching entries.
- Runes are shown as red / green / blue. A mix makes a formula when its ingredients’ runes add up to the formula’s total.
- Ingredient combinations is how many mixes of one to three ingredients make the formula. Example mixes shows up to three of them, the ones with the fewest ingredients first. They are examples, not recommendations.
- Mixed at is the laboratory tier. The unlock column records the formula’s listed unlock; the game records individual discovered mixes separately, so unlocking a formula does not make every rune-compatible combination available.
- A formula’s or ingredient’s name links to the item on the items page, where its price and description are.
- Every star quality of an ingredient carries the same runes, so an ingredient is one row. Body-part ingredients that read alike (Brain, Heart, Guts) are listed once per rune value.
- The game’s text also describes boosts that add one rune each: Heat gives +1 red rune, Cool +1 green rune, Distillation +1 blue rune.
- Use this table for rune totals and formula-compatible mix examples. Static no-workbench entries that duplicate alchemy formulas are not presented as ordinary workstation recipes on the crafting recipes page.
- Words in square brackets are icons the game draws in its text.
