Free Gothic Remake lock solver. Enter your lock, get the exact move sequence — no sign-up, runs entirely in your browser.
Free online tool for Gothic Remake lockpicking puzzles. Enter your lock, get the exact move sequence in seconds.
Plate 1 is the back plate, the highest number is the front plate where the lockpick enters. Holes run −3 (far left) to +3 (far right). Click a hole to place the gold start pin. The lock opens when every plate reaches its target — in-game that is all plates centered at 0.
Read each row like this: “When I move Plate X, what happens to the other plates?” Click a cell to cycle: — no effect, S same direction, O opposite direction.

Every plate is already on target — move a start pin off its target to set up a lock, then press Solve.
In the Gothic Remake lockpicking minigame the metal plates stack toward you. Plate 1 is the plate at the back; the highest number is the front plate where the lockpick enters. Each plate sits in one of seven holes, −3 (far left) to +3 (far right). Set the gold start pins to match what you see in-game. The target is normally every plate centered at 0.
Moving one plate drags others along. In the Interactions matrix, each row answers: “when I move this plate, what happens to the others?” Click a cell to cycle — no effect, S same direction, O opposite direction. A higher in-game lockpicking skill simply removes some links.
Press Solve lock and the solver searches every reachable plate combination for the winning sequence. Steps are grouped, so “Plate 2 → Right ×3” means push plate 2 right three times. Copy the solution to Discord or share the exact lock with a link. Want to understand the minigame itself? Read the Gothic Remake lockpicking guide.
Read the current position of every plate in the lockpicking minigame, enter them into the solver above, fill in the link matrix (which plates move together), and press Solve. You get a step-by-step move sequence like "Plate 2 → Right x3" that opens the lock without breaking your lockpick.
GothicTool supports locks with 4, 5, 6, or 7 plates, which covers every lockpicking puzzle in Gothic Remake — from simple chests early in the game to master-level locks with the full seven plates.
The matrix describes what happens to the other plates when you move one plate. "Same" means the linked plate slides in the same direction, "Opposite" means it slides the other way, and "—" means it stays put. You can read the links directly off the pins in the in-game lockpicking screen.
No. A higher lockpicking skill only removes some of the links between plates, so the lock has fewer moving parts. The solver works the same way — skilled characters just get shorter solutions with fewer linked plates to enter.
It means repeat that move three times in a row. For example, "Plate 2 → Right x3" tells you to push plate 2 to the right three times before moving on to the next step.
Pick "Fewer plate switches" if you want the easiest solution to follow in-game — it groups moves on the same plate together. Pick "Shortest moves" if you want the mathematically fewest clicks. The "fast" variants trade a little optimality for much quicker solving on slow devices or complex 7-plate locks.
Hard 7-plate locks can be heavy for the exact modes. The solver stops after a generous expansion budget; if that happens, switch to one of the "(fast)" modes, which finish in a fraction of the time. A timeout does not mean the lock is impossible.
Yes. Use "Share link" to copy a URL that encodes the exact lock setup — anyone opening it sees the same plates and links. Use "Copy solution" to grab a plain-text move list you can paste into Discord, Reddit, or a Steam guide.
