The Stranger is one of the most interesting hidden quests of Gothic 1 Remake. This quest takes the player on a journey through the Colony and requires finding six Chromanin Books located in various spots in the game. There is a riddle for each book that guides you to the next book, and you need to solve them in sequence. In this guide, we will show you where to find every Chromanin Book and how to complete The Stranger quest to claim its valuable rewards.
The Stranger Quest
The Stranger is a hidden quest which starts upon obtaining the first Chromanin Book. The books will have clues that take you to the next book. You need to obtain all the books before you can get access to the secret treasure, which is filled with many benefits.
Chromanin Book 1 – Fogtower Lighthouse
Chromanin Book Vol 1 can be found in Fogtower Lighthouse, which is close to the Old Camp. Take the left route from the entrance to get to an underground labyrinth full of stairs leading down to the boss area. The Skeleton Mage is the hardest boss there. Kill this Skeleton Mage after it becomes alone, then loot its corpse to receive Chromanin Book Vol 1.
Chromanin Book 2 – Fisherman’s Hut At The Lake
This is the next hint that will guide you towards the big lake situated near the camp. This location can be reached through the gate of the New Camp up to the fishing settlement that has been abandoned. Once you swim through the lake and reach the other side, you should be able to find a single hut for a fisherman. The book called Chromanin Book Volume 2 is available on the table in the hut.
Chromanin Book 3 – Mountain Fortress Library
Make your way to the Mountain Fortress. Go inside the fortress, and take the large staircase downwards. Open the first door to the right and move ahead to the second room. You will see the picture in the following order here:
- Worm
- Wolf
- Molerat
Remember this order. Move forward to the library, where you can find animal figures standing on the top of books. The right order will reveal a secret passage for you. Make use of this secret passage and climb up the ladder and land on the platform. Look back, and there is your Chromanin Book Volume 3.
Chromanin Book 4 – Old Camp Torture Chamber
Walk into the Old Camp and go into the castle. Your fastest route to get into the prison is through the basement. Unlock the locked door and step inside. When you are in the prison, take a right to get into the torture chamber where the Chromanin Book Volume 4 is kept along with other books.
Chromanin Book 5 – Old Citadel
Journey to the Old Citadel via the Thousand Gates from the Old Camp area. Walk around until you reach an obstructed door. Go to the bell hanging above this door and ring it down. This action causes the destruction of the door and enables access inside the building. In this room, you will find the fifth book lying on a desk by the door.
Chromanin Book 6 – Return To Fogtower Lighthouse
Go back to the Fogtower Lighthouse and enter the chamber of the Skeleton Mage once again. However, this time you have to approach the staircase from the side of the room rather than moving towards the centre of the room. The book named Chromanin Book Volume 6 is available there. Reading the final book completes the Stranger quest.
