Exploration in Gothic 1 Remake heavily emphasizes vertical movement. It is really important to reach elevated locations and uncover hidden loot. One of the most useful abilities is climbing. To unlock this skill, you will need to seek out an NPC named Theron, who plays a key role in teaching it to your character.
If you want to unlock the climbing skill, this Gothic Remake Theron guide explains his location and the steps required to gain his support.

Gothic Remake Theron Location: How to Find Climbing Teacher
Unlike many trainers who can be found in the bustling Old Camp, Theron prefers a quieter life in the Swamp Camp.
To track him down, head to the Stone Temple located in the center of the camp. From there, turn right and continue along the shoreline. Keep an eye out for a small hut sitting near the water’s edge. Theron spends his time around this secluded spot, far from the camp’s busiest areas.
Gothic Remake Theron: How to Learn the Climbing Skill
Theron won’t train you in exchange for Ore. Instead, he asks for a specific local resource before he’s willing to share his knowledge.
To unlock the Climbing skill, you will need:
- 6 Northern Dark Sprouts
- 5 Learning Points (LP)
Once you meet both requirements, Theron can teach you the ability.
Northern Dark Sprouts
Fortunately, collecting the required sprouts is easy. There is no need to venture into dangerous territory. You can obtain them from Fortuno, an NPC located beneath Cor Kalom’s alchemy workshop in the Swamp Camp.
To find him, simply follow the signs pointing toward the alchemy lab in the swamp camp or ask nearby camp residents for directions. Fortuno distributes Northern Dark Sprouts on a daily basis.
Theron’s Training
After collecting all 6 Northern Dark Sprouts and saving up 5 LP, return to Theron at his hut by the shore. Give him the requested items and he will teach you the Climbing skill permanently.
Climbing opens up new exploration opportunities throughout Gothic 1 Remake and it might make other Swamp Camp
quests easier for you. This ability enables you to scale designated surfaces, access elevated locations, uncover hidden treasure caches and take shortcuts that would otherwise remain inaccessible.
