All story quests in Gothic 1 Remake

The plot consists of six chapters and completely repeats the story of the original game. Faction selection does not affect the main events, it only determines the character's class: Fire mage and guard (Old camp), water mage and mercenary (New camp) or follower of the Sleeping One and templar (Swamp camp).

The World of Prisoners

The nameless hero finds himself in a Colony surrounded by a magical Barrier and meets Diego, a ghost working for the ore barons. To secure temporary shelter in these hostile lands, he must enlist the help of influential people: cult idols, bandits from Lares's group, or members of Gomez's gang.

The first chapter includes four tasks:

• Letter from the Fire Mages;
• "Invitation to the Old Camp";
• "Invitation to the New Camp";
• "Invitation to the Swamp Camp."

After joining one of the three factions, other missions from this category will be automatically failed (the "red cross" symbol in the guide).

Nest of crawlers

After meeting with the Brotherhood's spiritual leader, the hero receives a new assignment: to search for the Unitors—ancient artifacts needed for the ritual to summon the Sleeper. The first location to explore is the Old Mine in the northern part of the map. Here, you'll have to fight Queen of the crawlersto gain the favor of experienced gurus.

The introduction to the second chapter differs depending on which camp you join:

• "The Brotherhood Plan" is the first mission for the New and Old Camps;
• "Delivering the Swampman" is the first task for the Brotherhood's novices;
• The Missing Student;
• "Yu'Berion";
• "Unitor";
• "Almanac";
• The Nest of the Crawlers;
• "The Great Awakening";
• Orcish Crypt.

Ancient artifacts

Continuing his search for the Unitors, the nameless one ventures into even more dangerous places, inhabited by predatory lizards and orcs. Along the way, he manages to uncover more interesting information about the nature of the Barrier. When all the ancient artifacts are in Yu'Berion's possession, the leader announces the next stage of the plan—a meeting with the mages.

The third chapter consists of three tasks:

• The Water Mages' Plan;
• "Unitors";
• "Flame and Waves".

Also in this part of the story you will be able to complete a unique task Bandit Camp from Guard Torus or General Lee for promotion.

Ксардас

According to the Water mages, only Xardas can reveal the truth about the great Sleeper's nature, so the hero must travel through orcish lands to meet this mysterious and powerful mage. He learns that the deity worshiped by idols and acolytes is in fact a demon. Its power could threaten not only the Colony but also life beyond the Barrier.

The fourth chapter includes the following quests:

• "Xardas";
• "The Exiled Shaman"
• "The Greatest of Banners";
• "Return of the Free Mine"
• "City of Orcs".

Guardians of the Portal

The events of Chapter Five are devoted to the nameless one's preparations for the breakthrough into the demon's lair. In the process, he strengthens his faction's position and becomes more powerful himself. After visiting the Temple of the Sleeper, he manages to find the ancient sword Urizel— the most powerful weapon in the game.

During this part of the story you will complete these missions:

• "The Chosen Path";
• "The Dreamer's Nightmare";
• "Urisel".

The Sleeping Man's Halls

The final sixth chapter contains only one task - Awakening the Sleeper. Using all the received knowledge and artifacts, the hero resists the Sleeper himself. In a life-or-death battle, the Barrier holding the Colony collapses. The prisoners are freed, and the nameless newcomer ends his journey as a "savior."
