How to unlock Scatty's Chest

To open Scatty's Chest in the Gothic Remake is tied to Fingers and the chance to earn his favour to access the old camp, as well as learn the basics of lockpicking. Admittedly you'll have to pick a lock to learn how to do that, which seems a bit backwards, but I guess you have to prove some knowledge of the basics first. If you want to know how to find and open it, here's how to get into Scatty's Chest in Gothic 1 as part of the quest A Ring for Fingers.

Scatty's Chest in the Gothic 1 Remake is found feet away from where Fingers is standing, you really don't have to go far. Head down the slop he's standing on, turn right, and that building next to you is Scatty's hut. I've put a picture of its exterior above so you know what you're looking for.

I recommend heading in during the day, as Scatty is usually at the arena during that time and it's easier than sneaking in while he's asleep. Make sure that Mud isn't following you to risk giving you away - if he is, find out how to get rid of him in our full guide to the atrocity that is the Gothic 1 Remake Mud NPC.

The chest is in the corner of Scatty's hut, and there is no key to open it anywhere: you need to open it with the Gothic 1 Remake lockpicking minigame system. Our attached guide will explain that process in great detail if you're not familiar with it, but here's the exact process of how to open it and complete the minigame (assuming you have no Lockpicking training). Remember to save before you start!
