# Gothic Lock Breaker

> Free, beginner-friendly Gothic 1 Remake lockpicking solver with a compact three-step UI and turn-by-turn walkthrough — edge-safe, no account, works on phone.

## What it does

Gothic Lock Breaker maps chest and door lock plates, their couplings (With / Against), and returns a step-by-step turn sequence that opens the lock without grinding any pin against the wall. Unlike net-turn calculators, it uses edge-safe BFS so your pick won't snap mid-sequence.

## Why players use Gothic Lock Breaker

- **Beginner-friendly:** built-in how-to guide, onboarding tour, Old Camp tower door preset
- **Step-by-step walkthrough:** one turn at a time with visual hole readout (not net-turn totals alone)
