Gothic 1 Remake Two-Handed Trainers: Thorus, Lee & Cor Angar
Fact-checked: July 2026
Two-handed progression is faction-gated. Choose the trainer tied to your higher-rank faction path, bring both Learning Points and Ore, and learn the timing changes that come with Trained and Master proficiency.
Two-handed trainers by faction
- Old Camp: Thorus trains the Guard route.
- New Camp: Lee trains qualifying Mercenaries.
- Swamp Camp: Cor Angar trains qualifying Templars.
- The lesson generally opens around Chapter 3 after the required higher faction rank.
Training costs and ranks
Post-release guides report Trained at 10 Learning Points plus 50 Ore and Master at 20 Learning Points plus 200 Ore. Save both currencies before visiting the trainer.
Untrained, Trained, and Master are meaningful handling states—not only damage labels. Your rank changes available attacks and defensive transitions.
What Trained and Master unlock
- Trained: faster handling, basic combos, parries, critical strikes, and dodge cancellation.
- Master: improved critical capability, combo finishers, knockback, and ripostes after a parry.
- Combo inputs are timing-based: queue the next attack near the end of the current animation instead of mashing.
- Different weapon classes have different animation rhythms, so practice with the weapon you intend to keep.
If the trainer has no dialogue
- Confirm that you joined the correct camp and reached its higher combat rank.
- Advance the main story into the expected chapter window.
- Check whether an unfinished promotion quest is blocking the rank change.
- Do not assume standard two-handed training improves Orc weapons; current guides report a separate Orc-weapon proficiency line.
Remake versus original
The original Gothic also associated two-handed trainers with Thorus, Lee, and Cor Angar, but its percentages and animation rules are not safe substitutes for the remake.
The remake adds modern parries, dodge cancellation, finishers, knockback, and ripostes. Use remake-specific costs and effects when planning a build.
