How to Learn Alchemy in Gothic 1 Remake
Alchemy is one of the most useful skills in Gothic 1 Remake; it allows players to combine Lab Flasks and Herbs into powerful concoctions that can heal them or help them recover their Mana.
To learn Alchemy, players need to get to Chapter 3, and find one of the following instructors after completing the Minecrawler Nest Quest in the Old Mine:
- Kor Kalam: If players are affiliated with The Brotherhood, he will teach them Alchemy for 10 LP and 100 Ores. He can be found in the Alchemy lab in the Swamp Camp.
- Damarok: Can be found inside the Innos Chapel in the Old Camp, alongside the rest of the Fire Mages. Players can talk to him during Chapter 3, after talking to Master Corristo. He teaches Alchemy for 10 LP and 100 Ores.
Should You Join Old, New, or Swamp Camp in Gothic 1 Remake?
Gothic 1 Remake offers players the choice of joining Old, New, or Swamp Camp, each with its own benefits and limitations. This guide analyzes the pros and cons of each faction to help players choose the best path for their playstyle.
Once you get your Alchemy Skill, you can go right ahead and create your first potions. To create Potions in Gothic 1 Remake, simply approach an Alchemy Table and press the interaction key (E in PC). This will open the crafting menu, and players will be able to elaborate pots according to the recipes they've unlocked.
More recipes can be purchased from Magic Item vendors like Chronos or Torrezand the more complex the potion, the rarer the ingredients needed for crafting it.
Luckily, vendors resupply on Lab Flasks and Herbs every three days, which means players can resupply on potions on a practically infinite basis. Unlike the classic Gothicwhere resources are more limited, in Gothic 1 Remake, players have a bit more free reign. Herbs regrow after a few days, so farming them is possible. That's another factor that makes Alchemy more approachable.
