The creators of Gothic Remake have released new concept art – the skeleton of a mage. The accompanying entry suggests the return of the enigmatic quest from the original. The question is in what form it will appear.
The first Gothic was full of plot inaccuracies and remnants of ideas that – due to lack of time – could not be implemented by Piranha Bytes.
The first category includes Saturas’ mention of a thirteenth mage, who was allegedly Xardas. However, as we know, it was added without the knowledge of the game’s main designers and is incorrect – there were twelve mages creating the Barrier. The second category has a bit more elements, and the most popular are Quentin’s bandit camp – which was supposed to be one of the factions – and the enigmatic Stranger quest related to the search for Chromanin.
It seems that the latter will not be missing in Gothic Remake. This is suggested by a short entry by Alkimia Interactive published today, with concept art of a mage skeleton surrounded by ordinary “reanimated”. You can see it below.

Translated into Polish, the said message reads as follows:
There are so many places in Mining Valley that raise more questions than they answer, don’t they? The Tower of Mist and the maze of tunnels beneath it, infested with an army of undead, strike fear into any adventurer who ventures into them. On the other hand, the catacombs have a certain charm. But before you dive into it, ask yourself the key question: “Are you ready to prove that you deserve a Chromanin?”
Here it is worth specifying that the Stranger hit to Gothic only in update 1.08. They were designed by Michael Hoge as a kind of test for the Nameless Hero to join the Fire or Water Mages.
As I mentioned, “Piranhas” ran out of time to finish certain threads – including this one. Therefore, this quest was cut first, and some time later Bjorn Pankratz and Mario Roske implemented it again – so that it was not related to the main plot of Gothic – and added it in the patch.
This task begins in the Mist Tower mentioned in the Alkimia Interactive studio’s announcement – with collecting the Chromanin book from the remains of the mage’s skeleton. There is a riddle in it, which points to another location in the Valley of Mines. There we discover another book with a riddle. The content of the fifth volume directs us back to the Mist Tower, where we come across a corpse – probably the author of the series – and the last volume.
Who knows, maybe Alkimia Interactive will decide to return to the original idea of developers from Piranha Bytes and the search for Chromanin will be linked to the path of magic. However, it is possible that the Barcelona team will stick to the original so much that even this element will remain unchanged. Personally, I prefer the first scenario, and you?
