To join the Old Camp faction in Gothic 1 Remake players need to complete a series of quests, including A Ring For Fingers, which involves stealing a Ring from Scatty's Chest. But the Arena Master will not give his precious heirloom so easily, so players need to use all their Lockpicking skills to open that chest and complete the quest.

Luckily, we got the solution to Open Scatty's Chest with the right combination of movements to pick the lock and get that Ring to gain Finger's trust and complete one of the requirements to join the Old Camp. Here's what you need to do.

How to Find and Open Scatty's Chest in Gothic 1 Remake

To find Scatty's Chest in Gothic 1 Remake, go to the Arena District and look around the place where the Gladiators train. Now, pay attention to the house at the top of the hill, the one with the post board and the skull at the entrance.

Ideally, players should wait until mid-day (12 PM) to attempt picking the chest using a Lockpick. No one will be there, and the guards surrounding the place will be gone.

Now, enter the house using stealth (NPCs can still hear you otherwise), then proceed to open the chest. Considering the first row as #1 and the last row as #5, follow these steps to pick the lock:

  1. Move #4 to the left once
  2. Move #3 to the left once
  3. Move #4 to the left once
  4. Move #3 to the left three times
  5. Move #5 to the left six times
  6. Move #1 to the left once
  7. Move #4 to the left twice
  8. Move #2 to the right three times
  9. Move #1 to the right three times
  10. Move #5 to the left five times
  11. Move #3 to the left twice
  12. Move #4 to the left once
  13. Move #3 to the left once
  14. Move #2 to the right once
  15. Move #5 to the left twice

Now, pick up Scatty's Ring and other valuables from the chest and take them back to Fingers. Handle the ring to Fingers to complete the Quest and earn one of the votes to join The Shadows in the Old Camp Faction.
