The fastest way to learn the skill "Pick Complex Locks"!
Everyone can do this!

You need: 2 Learning Points, a pickaxe, 80 gold (Classic Mode) - 200 gold (Insane Mode)

-



First you have to make it to the hewer sleeping area in the Remnants Camp.

Then follow the left wall to the shown corridor and open the passage with your pickaxe.( Beware of the stonebeast and dont forget the basaltroot in the next room!)



Open the passage on the left side of the room.
(The path to the right leads to a basaltroot. If you walk instead of run, you wont wake it up!)

Just follow the path until you reach the room with the 2 moles. You can either kill them or run past them SOUTH where my cursor is pointing.



Here we are! Talk to Frithjof, pay him his 80 gold (200 gold on Insane) and he teaches you to pick complex locks.



If you learn the skill from him right now, you can leave via the ladder southeast of him.

(This video is just a proof of concept of the route and how easy to access the teacher is.)

RakWithClaws, if you kill something before learning the skill to skin/get ichor you can go loot the corpse again, after you learn the skill, to get the claw/ichor/etc. Once I got the pull claw skinning skill a bunch of previously looted corpses were shiny again, this time containing, like, 1 claw or tooth, and I'm sure I had already looted those kills. So you don't have to worry about keeping animals alive until you've got all the skills.

Okay,I'd finish missions first and I will join a faction:steamsalty:

I am in first chapter, only got to Nemeton entrance camp. Cleaned Revenants shaft, road to Inn and some frog people with frog mask guy (checked them, they don't drop Ichor too). So i think enemies with ichor will be later, am i right?
RakWithClaws 8 Apr @ 1:34pm 
Hi. Can someone say which animals drop ichor?
Did a test, small flys in the beginning of the game don't drop it. Large flys in the swamp drop. But I already killed all vipers south of inn.
I am loot optimiser, in Gothic i hunt animals only then I learn how to skin them completely. Shame to lose loot in Drova too.

Last time i played was before the quicktravel update. Only faction teachers could give you the skill. If they added something meanhwile that changes it, i dont know. Sadly no proper answer from me currently.
自己的野生老fuqin 7 Apr @ 11:44pm 
Are there some way you can get the masterful spearfighting without getting into any faction?Cause i still have a lot of mission to be finished that belongs to other factions.:)
UL  [author] 5 Apr @ 6:31am 
No need to join Nemeton, just managing to enter it.
Majber 5 Apr @ 1:38am 
do you need to join Nemeton faction to reach them?
UL  [author] 5 Apr @ 12:46am 
I assume the two vagrants are the people near the ruined house in eastern Nemeton? Its a bit annoying how the game "removes" a possible trainer once you have learned a skill.

Im going to attempt a mostly skill free act 1 on my next playthrough to see whos missing still.

Who are this two vagrants?
