Mercenaries

The Mercenaries are the armed wing of the New Camp. They are led by Lee, the rebel commander who shares day-to-day authority of the camp with the Water Mages. Alkimia Interactive has confirmed the Mercenaries as a joinable combat path for the New Camp in Gothic 1 Remake.

Role

• Protect the Water Mages so they can continue their research on breaking the Barrier.

• Guard the camp's ore supply from Old Camp interference and wildlife alike.

• Provide the raw combat strength the New Camp would otherwise lack against Gomez's larger, older faction.

How They Relate to the Old Camp

The Mercenaries are the combat expression of the New Camp's politics. Where the Old Camp uses its Guards and Shadows to enforce Gomez's rule and protect his ore trade with the Crown, the Mercenaries exist specifically to defend the opposite project: ending the Barrier and escaping the Colony.

Confirmed Members

Alkimia's public remake communications have confirmed Gorn among the Mercenaries being recreated for the game. Additional members of the combat wing will be detailed at launch rather than pre-release.

Path for the Hero

A Hero who joins the New Camp can work his way up through the Mercenaries' ranks, which is how a non-mage player commits to the New Camp's combat path. Late-game access to Water Circle training still runs through being in good standing with Lee and proving useful to the Mercenaries first.
