What to do first in the Gothic 1 Remake

The Gothic Remake starts you without a map and only a rough hint from Diego when you crawl out of the pool. Before moving on, exhaust Diego's dialogue so you understand the basic situation and the immediate goals. On the canyon path you can find pickaxes and rusty swords in collapsed mines; they are weak, but better than nothing.

Near the end of the canyon, on the right in a woody grove, a Juvenile Scavenger guards the Hunter's Knife lying on overturned dirt. Return that knife to Drax, one of two hunters under a lean-to, and he will reward you with a Shortbow. Move into the Old Camp as your first hub.

You'll be asked for protection money (10 Ore Nuggets) as you enter — pay if you can, because refusing will see you beaten and robbed of most valuable items. For a place to sleep, head left on entering the camp and speak to Guy in the arena stands about free accommodation.
