An armourer's chest is exactly the kind worth picking, and Huno guards his with a full six-plate lock.

Below is the complete, tested sequence from our verified database. Follow it move for move, or let the tool at the bottom open it in a single click.

Huno is the Old Camp's armourer — the smith who hammers out the plate that keeps Gomez's guards alive, and a man who knows the worth of good steel. 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 Huno's chest in Gothic 1 Remake

Huno works at his forge in the Old Camp, and his chest sits close to the anvil. The starting plate layout below confirms 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 Huno'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 Huno's chest

A smith's chest tends to hold the good metal. I will leave the exact contents to your game, but Huno's stash is a strong Old 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.
