📖 Bestiary

⚠️ Golden Rule: Not everything should be fought when you first see it. Knowing when to run is the most important survival skill in Gothic 1 Remake.

Combat Readiness by Level

Levels 1-3

Avoid all combat. Pick herbs, run from everything.

Levels 4-6

Scavengers, juvenile wolves, lone molerats. Still avoid packs.

Levels 7-10

Most wildlife manageable. Shadowbeasts and orcs remain lethal.

Levels 10+

Most enemies fair game. Bosses need preparation.
