Master Garrett route
Gothic 1 Remake Lockpicking Guide
Get lockpicks, train with Fingers, save before hard chests, and track 20 opened locks for Master Garrett.
How it works
Lockpicking is punishing when untrained, so protect your picks with saves and train before expensive chests.
You can find lockpicks while exploring and buy them in the Old Camp market area from Mordrag or Dexter. Fingers in the Old Camp can train lockpicking after early Old Camp progress.
Safe fixes first
Open locks without burning your whole stack
- 01
Carry spare picks
Do not start a theft route with one pick unless you are happy to reload.
- 02
Save before hard locks
Reloading is safer than losing every pick to a difficult chest.
- 03
Train with Fingers
Training makes the minigame less punishing and helps your 20-lock route.
- 04
Track opened locks
Count successful unlocks toward Master Garrett instead of counting attempts.
20-lock tracker
Check each successful unlock
Troubleshooting
Breaking too many picks
Stop, reload, and train before repeating the same chest.
Out of picks
Check Old Camp market vendors and prisoner-heavy areas while exploring.
Quest chest pressure
Save before quest chests, especially when one item blocks faction progress.
