Lockpicking Guide

Lockpicking in Gothic 1 Remake is a pin-alignment minigame. This guide explains how it works, shares tips for difficult locks, and links to our free Lockpick Solver.

How the Lockpicking Minigame Works

  1. Approach a locked chest or door and select the lockpick option.
  2. Observe the pin positions displayed on the lock interface.
  3. Click the pins in the correct sequence to set them.
  4. If you make a mistake, the lockpick breaks and you must try again.
  5. Higher difficulty locks have more pins and shorter timing windows.

Tips for Hard Locks

  • Invest in Dexterity and the Lockpicking skill to widen the success window.
  • Save before attempting high-difficulty locks.
  • Use the Lockpick Solver for locks with 4+ pins.
  • Carry multiple lockpicks — they break easily at low skill levels.
  • Some locks can be opened with keys obtained through quests instead.
