The head of the Brotherhood keeps a chest worth the pilgrimage, and Yberion's five-plate lock runs longer than its plate count suggests.

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

Yberion is the Guru who leads the Brotherhood of the Sleeper in the Swamp Camp — the serene spiritual head whose word shapes the whole community. 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 Yberion's chest in Gothic 1 Remake

Yberion presides over the Swamp Camp, and his chest sits within the Brotherhood's quarters. The starting plate layout below is your fingerprint for 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 Yberion'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 Yberion's chest

The Guru's chest is one few outsiders ever see opened. I will leave the contents to your own playthrough, but it is a standout 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.
