A free, browser-only calculator for the Gothic 1 Remake lockpicking puzzle.
Last updated: August 12, 2026
This is a free, browser-based solver for the Gothic Remake lockpicking minigame. You describe the lock in front of you - how many plates it has, where the pins start, and how the plates are coupled - and it computes an unlocking sequence that never pushes a pin against the wall, so your lockpick does not break. It handles locks with 4 to 7 plates and understands the full coupling matrix: any two plates can move With each other, Against each other, or be unrelated (None).
There is no account to create, nothing to install, and no personal information is required. The solver runs entirely on your device, and the site does not use behavior-based ad tracking on its users. It is a plain calculator for a single puzzle, nothing more.
Using the solver takes four steps. First, set the plate count to match the lock (4-7). Second, enter each pin's starting hole: holes are numbered 1 to 7, which correspond to positions -3 to +3 on the rail, with 0 (hole 4) at the center. Third, set the coupling for each pair of plates to With (same direction), Against (opposite direction), or None (independent). Fourth, choose a solver mode and press Solve.
The solver then searches for a sequence of moves that keeps every pin inside the rail at all times - any move that would push a plate beyond +/-3 is discarded. The computation runs in a Web Worker, so the page stays responsive and nothing is sent to a server. You can also share any lock state as a URL hash: copy the link, send it to someone, and the same lock loads when they open it.
Using this tool is safe for both your game and your account. The solver is a pure calculator: it reads no game memory, modifies no game files, and does not interact with the game process in any way. Everything happens in your browser, between your keyboard and this page.
Because the tool cannot touch the game, there is no ban risk - there is nothing for anti-cheat software to detect. We also collect no personal data: the solver makes no network requests, and the site has no tracking that identifies you (see the privacy policy for details). The only thing the tool ever produces is a sequence of moves for you to perform yourself.
Found a mistake, a missing feature, or a lock this solver cannot handle? Write to [email protected] and describe the problem - corrections, feedback, and questions are all welcome. Please include the lock state if you can (plate count, positions, and couplings), since that lets us reproduce the issue directly.
One final note: this site is an unofficial fan tool. It is not affiliated with Alkimia Interactive or THQ Nordic, and nothing here is endorsed by them. Gothic and its trademarks belong to their respective owners.
