Walkthrough
Gothic tells its story in six chapters, each ending with a turn that reshapes the valley. This walkthrough follows that arc — from your first stumbling steps in the Old Camp, through joining a faction and earning your place, to the temple of the Sleeper and the war beneath the mountain. Each chapter page lays out the main quests, the choices that matter, and the things easy to miss, while keeping late-game spoilers behind clear warnings.
