Trainers
October 23, 2026 at 12:17 PM
Corrected trainer names and locations
Trainers are the NPCs who actually teach the Nameless Hero skills in Gothic 1 Remake. Every meaningful stat bump runs through one of them. There is no path where the Hero simply levels up and assigns points; the Hero has to find a teacher, spend earned experience with them, and physically be in their camp to do so.
Trainer Type | What they teach |
|---|---|
Weapon trainers | Raise one-handed or two-handed weapon skill up the three remake tiers (Beginner, Trained, Skilled). |
Bow trainers | Raise bow skill for ranged combat. |
Crossbow trainers | Raise crossbow skill. |
Stat trainers | Raise Strength or Dexterity up to the camp-gated cap for their tier. |
Stealth and utility trainers | Teach sneaking, pickpocketing, and acrobatics-style skills preserved from the 2001 original. |
Lockpicking trainer | Teach lockpicking, which Alkimia has confirmed is preserved but presented differently in the remake. |
Smith trainers | Teach weaponsmithing, which Alkimia has confirmed is expanded for the remake. |
Cooking trainers | Teach food preparation; the cooking system is expanded in the remake. |
Mage mentors | Raise the Circle of Magic for mages committed to a camp's magical path. |
The Hero's camp choice shapes which trainers are friendly. An Old Camp Hero has easy access to Fire Mages and the camp's own weapon teachers; a New Camp Hero has easy access to Water Mages and Mercenary training; a Swamp Camp Hero has access to the Brotherhood's own progression paths. Crossing camp lines still works, but often at a steeper experience cost or behind additional quest work.
No single official roster document lists every teacher, so the table below is assembled from the shipped game. Individual character articles carry the detail for each named trainer. The structure is trainer-based throughout: experience is spent with a teacher rather than assigned from a menu.
These are the named trainers across the Colony and the skills each one can teach. Some require you to join their camp first, and a few only unlock after a specific quest.
