Solving Chest Locks in Gothic 1 Remake
The remake turns chest lockpicking into a small logic puzzle: several plates sit on a seven-step track, and the lock opens when every plate lands in the middle. This tool follows the plate wording used here, but it matches the same mechanic players may describe as sliders, pins, tumblers, rows, or gates.
Instead of guessing the old left-right combination from the original Gothic, copy the current lock into the table. Mark each starting position from 1 to 7; position 4 is the center and the target for every plate.
The hard part is that plates are linked. Moving one plate can also move other plates in the same direction or in the opposite direction, so a single move may improve one part of the lock while pushing another plate away from the center. Add those Same and Opposite links, then let the solver calculate a short route through the Gothic 1 Remake lockpicking puzzle.

How to Use It
- Select the number of plates shown on the chest lock.
- Mark the current position of each plate from 1 to 7.
- Enter linked plates in Same or Opposite when moving a plate affects another one.
- Press Solve and follow the compact plate-and-arrow solution.
Why These Locks Feel Tricky
The puzzle is readable once the links are mapped, but it is easy to make a legal move that fixes one plate and ruins another. Training lockpicking in the game may make the process more forgiving; the real shortcut is understanding how the linked plates influence each other.
