Gothic 1 Remake Quests and Walkthrough Guide
Gothic 1 Remake has 6 chapters with a branching main quest structure. Your faction choice in Chapter 1 determines which questline you follow for the rest of the game. This guide covers all confirmed main quests based on verified in-game data.
Chapter Structure
The game is divided into 6 chapters. Chapter 1 is the faction selection phase — you can only complete one admission quest, which locks you into that faction for the entire game.
Chapter 1: Welcome to the Colony
Chapter 1 has 3 main admission quests. You can only complete one to proceed. Once you join a faction, the other two admission quests automatically fail.
Important tip: You can complete tasks for all three camps before officially joining. Speak to the leaders of each camp (Thorus, Lares, Lester) to start their admission questlines. Complete as many side quests as possible for maximum XP before committing.
Admission to the Old Camp
Started by speaking to Thorus at the castle gate.
- Casting Shadows — Complete multiple sub-quests:
- Whistler's Sword

- Out of Sight
- A New Fence for Fisk
- The Cult's Recipe
- Test of Faith — Get Diego's approval
- Reach Level 5
- Enter the castle and speak to Gomez
Admission to the New Camp
Started by speaking to Lares.

Chapter 2: The Brotherhood's Plan
After joining a faction, the Chapter 2 quests begin. Note that some quests are faction-specific.
| Quest | Faction | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The Brotherhood's Plan | Old Camp / New Camp | Speak to Raven (Old Camp) or Lares (New Camp). Look for Caine at the Swamp Camp. |
| The Lost Apprentice | Swamp Camp | Starts after Cor Kalom welcomes you. Find Caine, Cor Kalom's missing apprentice. |
| Y'Berion | All | After finding Caine and securing the Strange Amulet, enter the Sleeper Temple to share findings with Y'Berion. |
| The Focus Stone | All | Y'Berion asks you to fetch one of the barrier Focus Stones with Nyras. |
| The Almanac | All | Fetch The Almanac from the Fire Mages at the Old Camp. If you didn't get castle access via Casting Shadows, bribe Thorus, be a Water Mage Messenger, or complete Herb Delivery. |
| The Minecrawler Nest | All | Raid the Minecrawler Nest at the Old Mine and defeat the Minecrawler Queen. |
Quest Tips
- Don't rush to join a faction: Complete all available side quests before committing. Once you join, other camps' admission quests fail.
- Named NPCs give quests: Speak to every named NPC (Diego, Scatty, Fingers, Thorus, etc.) when you reach a new area.
- Save before important choices: Some decisions lock you out of certain quests. Use F5 to quicksave.
- Check the Glossary: It tracks your quest progress and shows available NPCs by camp.
FAQ
Can I complete all faction quests?
No. You can only join one faction. The other two camps' admission quests auto-fail when you commit. However, you can do some side quests from rival factions even after joining.
Can I switch factions mid-game?
No. Faction choice is permanent for that playthrough.
What's the best order for Chapter 1?
1) Talk to all three camp leaders. 2) Complete all side quests. 3) Join your chosen faction. 4) Proceed to Chapter 2.
Do I need to complete all sub-quests?
Not all sub-quests are required for admission, but they give valuable XP and rewards. Complete as many as possible before joining.
