The first opportunity to secure a weapon presents itself on the road between the Exchange Point and the Old Camp.<\/p>\n<p>If you keep questioning Diego upon your first meeting, he&#8217;ll tell you to search the <strong>abandoned mine down the canyon<\/strong> if you&#8217;re looking for a weapon. This advice is mostly useless, as the abandoned mine is locked and you don&#8217;t have a key, but it&#8217;s worth picking up the old <strong>pickaxe<\/strong> in front of the locked door. With the pickaxe in hand, take the path leading up to the hanging bridge.<\/p>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gothic-remake-get-first-weapon-2.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;Graphic: Marloes Valentina Stella\\\/Polygon | Source images: Alkemia Interactive\\\/THQ Nordic via Polygon&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gothic-remake-get-first-weapon-2.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gothic-remake-get-first-weapon-2.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gothic-remake-get-first-weapon-2.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gothic-remake-get-first-weapon-2.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gothic-remake-get-first-weapon-2.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gothic-remake-get-first-weapon-2.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Arrows point to the first weapon locations in Gothic 1 Remake.\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gothic-remake-get-first-weapon-2.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gothic-remake-get-first-weapon-2.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"img-brightness-opt-out\"\/>\n        <\/picture><small class=\"body-img-caption\">Graphic: Marloes Valentina Stella\/Polygon | Source images: Alkemia Interactive\/THQ Nordic via Polygon<\/small><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>On the other side of this bridge is the real &#8220;first weapon&#8221; we&#8217;re looking for, a <strong>rusty sword<\/strong>.

If you&#8217;d like to hold on to your sword, however, it&#8217;s strongly recommended to be peaceful and polite \u2014 don&#8217;t try to be funny if a guard questions you, and keep the pickaxe in your inventory as a backup weapon. Eventually, questing, exploration, and robbery will get you better weapons than pickaxes and rusty swords.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/gothic-1-remake-how-to-get-a-weapon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obtaining a weapon in Gothic 1 Remake is much harder than you might expect.
