Bloodwyn spends his days squeezing ore out of nervous diggers, so there is a certain justice in quietly emptying his chest while he is busy doing it.

Below is the exact, tested sequence for his five-plate lock, copied from our verified database. Follow it move for move, or skip straight to the one-click method at the end.

Bloodwyn is the Old Camp shakedown artist — the guard who muscles diggers for protection ore and is about as popular as a broken pick. If you just want the lock open and the loot in your pack, the Golden Lockpick tool does it for you — but the full manual combination is right here too.

Where to find Bloodwyn's chest in Gothic 1 Remake

Bloodwyn works his racket around the Old Camp, and his chest sits near his usual patch. Before you start turning plates, check that the starting layout below matches the lock in front of you.

I always recommend saving your game before you touch the lock. That way, if you mistime a turn and run dry on picks, you can reload instead of losing progress.

How to open Bloodwyn's chest lock in Gothic 1 Remake (full combination)

This lock has 5 plates. Counting the plates from left to right as you face the lock — Plate 1 on the left — the pins start in the positions below. 0 means a plate is centred, a negative number means it sits left of centre, and a positive number means it sits right of centre. Use this as a fingerprint: if your lock does not match, you are at a different chest.

What's inside Bloodwyn's chest

A man who collects protection money tends to keep some of it close. I will leave the exact contents to your playthrough, but Bloodwyn's chest is a satisfying one to clean out.

Stuck halfway? If a turn does not land where you expect, you have almost certainly miscounted a single move — and there is no way to tell which one without starting over. That is the one thing the Golden Lockpick tool removes entirely: it never miscounts.
