Gothic 1 Remake: A Ring for Fingers Quest Guide

A Ring for Fingers is a side quest in Gothic 1 Remake, which is a part of the “Casting Shadows” mission that can help you join the Shadows in the Old Camp. This guide will provide you with tips and tricks on how to complete “A Ring for Fingers” quest, which involves collecting and bringing Scatty’s Ring to Fingers.

How to Start Casting Shadows Questline

If you wish to join the Shadows in the Old Camp, you must complete “A Ring for Fingers” quest for Fingers, who gives you one of the key approvals for the main “Casting Shadows” questline. You can keep all the loot from this side hustle, but you must hand over Scatty’s Ring to Fingers. Here’s how to start this mission:

1. Speak to Diego near the northern entrance of the castle at the gate area.
2. He’ll direct you to some influential people in the Outer Ring for support.
3. You should find Fingers on the north side of the Old Camp, near the arena.
4. Look for a spot between Scatty’s hut and the castle wall, close to Snaf’s area.
5. Tell him that Diego sent you and ask him to put in a good word for you.
6. In return, he’ll ask you to steal a ring from Scatty’s chest in his hut as proof of your skills.
7. You need to accept it by choosing the “I’ll take care of it” option.

Before attempting to steal the ring, make sure to get some lockpicks from merchants like Glen or find them in the prison area. Also, be sure to go during the morning, before or around 12 PM, when Scatty is often out at the arena. This will minimize many of the risks connected with this quest.

How to Find and Open Scatty’s Chest

It’s more than enough to have basic lockpicking skills to complete this quest, but a higher skill, which can be later trained with Fingers or Dexter, makes it a lot easier. Once you’re ready to go, here’s what you need to do:

1. Locate Scatty’s hut right next to Fingers’ position up the road from the arena entrance.
2. You’ll find the chest with the ring inside this hut.
3. Start the lockpicking combination by moving the 5th plate right once.
4. Then, move the 3rd plate left 5 times.
5. Move the 5th plate left 2 times.
6. Move the 2nd plate right 2 times.
7. Move the 5th plate left 6 times.
8. Move the 4th plate left 6 times.
9. Move the 5th plate left again 6 times.
10. Move the 3rd plate left again 2 times.
11. Move the 5th plate left again 2 times.
12. Move the 2nd plate right 2 times.
13. Move the 5th plate right again 2 times.
14. Finally, move the 4th plate right once.
15. In the end, choose the 1st plate and move it twice to the right to unlock the chest.

If you did everything right, you should be able to pick up Scatty’s Ring and other loot from the chest and bring that ring back to Fingers.
