Santino’s Special Pieces in the Gothic 1 Remake is a confusing quest since Santino does not tell the player anything about the unique piece that he is after. Players can present him with various valuable items, yet he will turn down all of them unless the player finds out which one he needs at a later stage in the game. The unique piece becomes accessible in Chapter 3 through the main quest. In this guide, we will show you what Santino wants, where to find it, and how to complete the Special Pieces quest.
Special Pieces Quest
First, visit the Old Mine. Pass through the bridge at its entrance, and Santino will run a small stall there. Once you talk to him and show some common objects, he will only call them junk and ask you to bring him something really special.
The object that Santino requires will not be available until Chapter 3. As part of the main quest, you will be asked to bring Focus Stones. One of them can be found at the Mountain Fortress, where you should go with Lester. Once inside, head towards the library. While you take the Focus Stone, Lester will wait for you outside. Do not teleport to the Water Mages afterwards; instead, return to the library and talk to Lester.
In the middle of your talk, Lester will tell you that he has found something more: a Land Deed which is necessary for owning the Mountain Fortress. Since he does not need the deed, he will advise you to sell it and share profits.
What Does Santino Want
In the latter part of the story, once everything has occurred in the Old Mine, Santino departs from there and goes to the Old Camp. He is generally found hanging around near the marketplace or in his house in the area. Talk to him once again and give him the Land Deed. It is the special item that he has been looking for the whole time. Having been impressed by the item you bring to him, he will agree to purchase it and tell you why it is of such importance. Once the deal is done, he will guide you to a secret entrance into the castle and give you its key. This completes the Special Pieces.
