Gothic 1 Remake: All Focus Stone Locations (Chapter 3)
Where to find all four Focus Stones in Chapter 3 of Gothic 1 Remake. The Monastery Ruins, Troll Canyon, Stone Circle, and Mountain Fortress, who points you to each, the best route to clear them, and the experience and reward you get for finishing the hunt.
The Chapter 3 scavenger hunt
Chapter 3, Artifacts of Ancient Power, hands you the mid-game’s biggest objective: track down four Focus Stones scattered across the valley for the Water Mages. The quest is The Search for the Focus Stones, and it is a real exploration chapter. Each stone sits in its own landmark, behind its own small puzzle or fight, and the experience adds up fast. If you have been putting off pushing your build, do it before this hunt. The best builds guide and the skill trainers guide will get you ready for the tougher open-world fights here.
Good news up front: Milten gives you a map with all four locations marked, so you are never guessing where to go. You can tackle them in any order. A clean route runs counterclockwise, starting in the north and ending in the south.
The four Focus Stone locations
Each stone is tied to one of your Old Camp companions, which is a nice touch and a handy memory aid.
1. Monastery Ruins (north, near the Fogtower)
The northern stop, sitting close to the Fogtower. This is the natural starting point for a counterclockwise loop. The stone here is connected to Gorn. Expect ruins to pick through and a short challenge to reach the stone itself.
2. Troll Canyon
The stone associated with Milten, the same companion who hands you the map. As the name warns, the canyon is dangerous ground, so come with a weapon you trust and the stats to back it. Do not wander in expecting a quiet pickup.
3. Stone Circle
Tied to Diego. The Focus Stone here is found below the stone circle landmark, so look for the way down rather than expecting it out in the open. A bit of poking around the structure is the puzzle.
4. Mountain Fortress (south)
The southern stop, connected to Lester, and a sensible place to end the loop. The fortress is the most fortified of the four, so save it for when you are warmed up and your gear is sorted.
The smart way to run it
- Take Milten’s map and confirm all four markers before you set out.
- Go counterclockwise, starting at the Monastery Ruins in the north and finishing at the Mountain Fortress in the south. It keeps your travel tight.
- Clear the area as you pass through it. Chapters change the world in Gothic, so mop up loose side quests now rather than after you advance the story. The full walkthrough explains why finishing an area before the next chapter matters.
- Do the Orc Cemetery quest on the same trip. It sits near the Focus Stone route and pays out a solid chunk of experience plus an Orcish teleport scroll, so it is easy value while you are already out there.
The payoff
Every Focus Stone you bring in is worth a large slice of experience, enough that the full hunt can push your character a meaningful step forward in a single chapter. Finishing the quest rewards a teleport scroll to the Water Mages, which saves you a long walk back and forth. Combined with the Orc Cemetery reward, this is one of the better experience-per-hour stretches in the mid-game, so do not rush it or skip the optional pickups along the way.
Focus Stone locations, the companion each is tied to, and the suggested route reflect the 2026 remake as played post-launch and are confirmed across multiple guides. The exact puzzle and enemies at each site can differ with your level and approach, so treat the route as the efficient path rather than a fixed script.
