The templars are the Brotherhood's muscle, and Cor Angar's chest is locked with the kind of long six-plate sequence that wears out picks fast.

Below is every move in order, straight from our verified database. Follow it carefully, or use the one-click method at the bottom and skip the broken picks.

Cor Angar is a templar leader of the Brotherhood — one of the armed faithful who guard the Swamp Camp and enforce the will of the Sleeper. 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 Cor Angar's chest in Gothic 1 Remake

Cor Angar stands among the templars in the Swamp Camp. The starting plate layout below is the surest way to confirm you are at the right lock.

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 Cor Angar's chest lock in Gothic 1 Remake (full combination)

This lock has 6 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 Cor Angar's chest

A templar leader keeps gear worth the detour. I will leave the specifics to your game, but Cor Angar's chest is a strong Swamp Camp grab.

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.
