Scatty’s Chest in Gothic 1 Remake is a small side mission you come across when you’re working for Fingers at the Old Camp. He asks you to steal a ring from Scatty for him. Doing this quest is helpful if you want to fully join the Old Camp. Diego encourages you to get friendly with different characters around the area and build your reputation—Fingers being one of them. Plus, if you’re up for lockpicking, Fingers might even teach you how to do it if you can open Scatty’s Chest. I didn’t create this quest, but if you need help unlocking it and grabbing the ring for Fingers, here’s what you need to do.
Location of Scatty’s Chest in Gothic 1 Remake
The chest is very close to where Fingers stands. Just go down the hill he’s on, turn right, and you’ll see Scatty’s hut next to you. I’ve included a picture above so you can recognize the place.
It’s best to go there during the day when Scatty is at the arena. It’s easier than sneaking in while he’s sleeping. Make sure Mud isn’t following you—if he is, you’ll want to find a way to get rid of him. Check out our full guide on how to handle Mud in the Gothic 1 Remake if you need help.
The chest is in the corner of Scatty’s hut. There’s no key to open it—you’re going to have to pick the lock using the lockpicking mini-game system. If you’re not familiar with it, don’t worry; our guide explains the process in detail. But here’s a quick step-by-step if you’re trying to do it without any training:
- Move tumbler 3 to the left five times.
- Move tumbler 5 to the left five times.
- Move tumbler 4 to the left four times.
- Move tumbler 5 to the left four times.
- Move tumbler 2 to the right four times.
- Move tumbler 5 to the left four times.
- Move tumbler 1 to the right twice.
- Move tumbler 3 to the left twice.
- Move tumbler 4 to the left once.
If you follow these steps correctly, the lock will pop open, giving you access to the chest and its contents. Inside, you’ll find:
- Scatty’s Ring
- Junk items like Pan and Razor
- Some cheese (x4)
- Bread (x2)
- A pickaxe (weapon)
- Ore Nuggets (x16)
Once you open it, you can take everything inside. Remember to save your game before trying, just in case!
