How To Open Orc Hammer Chest In Gothic 1 Remake

If you want to get the powerful weapon known as the Orc Hammer in Gothic 1 Remake, you have to find a locked chest located inside a ruined forge close to the Mountain Fortress. Gaining access to the location is not simple at all, since this area is guarded by deadly Bloodhounds, which can kill any player without much trouble. However, you can get access to the chest only by solving a lockpicking puzzle. This guide will show you where to find the chest, how to unlock it, and what rewards you will get inside.

How To Open An Orc Hammer Chest

It is possible to get hold of the Orc Hammer by going to the abandoned forge close to the bridge that leads to the Mountain Fortress. One needs to be very cautious about this, as this place is full of Bloodhounds who might overpower any player. It is best to wait until you feel confident enough to take on these Bloodhounds before trying to get hold of the weapon from the chest. Upon clearing this place of Bloodhounds, it will be easy to enter the forge and open up the chest. To open this chest, follow these steps:

1. Shift the first plate to the right three times.
2. Pick up the second plate and shift it to the right three times.
3. Shift the third plate to the left one time, and then shift the fourth plate to the left one time.
4. Shift the first plate to the right one time, the second plate to the right one time, the third plate to the left one time, and the fourth plate to the left one time.
5. Shift the first plate to the right one time, the second plate to the right one time, and the fourth plate to the left one time.
6. Repeat Step 5 five times.
7. Shift the first plate to the right one time, the third plate to the left one time, and the fourth plate to the left one time.
8. Repeat Step 7 three times.
