Gothic 1 Remake: Best Melee Weapons

Gothic 1 Remake
Updated on Jun 13, 2026

Overview

The Gothic 1 Remake allows you to choose between three distinct playstyles: melee, ranged, and magic.

Magic is a good mix of damage and utility, ranged allows you to do damage from afar, and melee is your Souls-like crossed with Conan the Barbarian.

If you've chosen to go the melee route, you'll need a quality weapon to accompany you.

Here's a list of all the melee weapons in the game - both one handers and two handers - and what Strength you'll need to equip them.

For more information on finding trainers to optimise your melee playthrough, check out our skill trainer location guide.

All Melee Weapons in Gothic 1 Remake

Melee weapons are divided into Swords, Axes, and Maces. Within those weapon types, you will find both One-Handed and Two-Handed options.

One handers are faster but deal less damage, whereas Two handers are the opposite. Swords, Axes, and Maces all have different movesets - put simply, Swords stab and therefore have further range, Axes cleave and are better in AoE fights, and Maces tend to stagger or launch enemies. Swords and Axes do Edge damage, and Maces do Blunt damage.

Whichever weapon type you choose to go for, here is a list of each one in the Colony.
