Gothic 1 Remake Tips: 8 Things To Know Before You Play

Gothic 1 Remake barely explains its best tricks. Here are eight worth knowing before the Colony makes you pay for them.

01. Do Urgent Quests First

If a quest sounds urgent, do it before sleeping. Some quests have hidden time limits and can fail when the next day starts.

Snaf gives you free stew once a day. The Swamp Camp also hands out daily swampweed wraps. Sleep, wake up and collect them again.

Shoot a Mine Crawler, then lead it back to the guards in the Old Mine. Once the fight is over, loot the crawlers and any guards that went down.

The guards at the New Camp tavern will block the door. Climb the rocks beside the building and jump onto the balcony to get inside anyway.

Mordrag and Baal Parvez kill anything that attacks during their escort routes. Pull extra enemies toward them and stay close to collect the XP.

Take The Bestiary of Khorinis Volume 1 from Yan's hut to Cavalorn. Pass his quiz and every scavenger you kill can drop a skull plate worth selling.

There is a hidden underwater tunnel near the abandoned fishing village. Swim through it and loot the corpse inside for a permanent Dexterity potion.

Horatio gives you five permanent Strength, but it cannot take you past 100. Claim it before reaching 96 Strength or part of the bonus gets wasted.

We will keep this guide updated as the game changes and better strategies settle in.
