Wolf is the kind of mercenary you would rather have on your side than against you, which makes picking his lock a quietly risky thrill.

Here is the complete, verified sequence for his five-plate lock, straight from our database. Work through it carefully, or skip to the one-click option at the end.

Wolf is one of Lee's mercenaries in the New Camp — a hardened sellsword who has seen plenty of fights and is not easily rattled. 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 Wolf's chest in Gothic 1 Remake

You will find Wolf among the mercenaries in the New Camp. As always, check the starting plate layout below before you commit to a single turn.

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 Wolf'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.

Confirm these match before you turn anything.

What's inside Wolf's chest

A working mercenary keeps practical kit, not trinkets. I will not name the exact contents, but Wolf's chest is a solid, low-fuss open.

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.
