How to Get the Fire Mage Teleport Rune (Gothic 1 / Gothic Remake)

The “Teleport to the Fire Mages” rune is not sold by any merchant and does not appear as a random drop you can just pick up early. In both the original Gothic and the new Gothic Remake , you only obtain it as part of a specific quest chain involving Xardas and the Sunken Tower.

Quick answer (Gothic Remake)

In Gothic Remake , you get the Fire Mage teleport rune like this:

1. Talk to Xardas after he gives you a quest to explore his Sunken Tower.
2. Enter the Sunken Tower (south of the Old Citadel) and go down into the basement / underwater tunnels.
3. Fight through Skeletons, Zombies , and a Skeletal Summoner and Skeletal Mage to reach the inner chambers.
4. Use Fire, Ice, and Wind (or Telekinetic) magic to open the locked door leading to the secret room.
5. Lockpick the door inside, open the chest, and take the two runes:
   • Teleport to the Sunken Tower (yellow)
   • Teleport to the Fire Mages (red).

You now have the Fire Mage teleport rune and can use it to reach the Fire Mages’ Quarters in the inner ring of the Old Camp.

Step-by-step (original Gothic / context)

If you’re playing the original Gothic (or want to know the logic behind the quest):

• You cannot get the Fire Mage teleport rune until:
  • Xardas gives you the quest to go to his Sunken Tower , and
  • You complete the tasks that unlock the hidden chest containing the rune.
• The rune is stored in a locked chest that requires:
  • A special key given by Xardas, and
  • Progress in the storyline (specifically, the quest to explore the Sunken Tower).

Until those conditions are met, the rune is effectively “not available” in normal gameplay.

Why this matters for your playthrough

• The Fire Mage teleport rune is required for several key quests:
  • “Ambassador of Peace” (to reach the Fire Mage’s quarters safely).
  • Some mage-related achievements and combos that require using Fire Mages.
• Without it, you must fight through the entire inner ring of the Old Camp each time you need to access the Fire Mages, which is significantly harder and more dangerous.

TL;DR checklist

• Talk to Xardas → get the Sunken Tower quest.
• Explore the Sunken Tower basement → fight Skeletal enemies.
• Open the magic-locked door (Fire/Ice/Wind or Telekinetic).
• Lockpick the inner door → open the chest.
• Take both runes: Sunken Tower and Fire Mages.

Once you have it, just hotbar the rune and use it whenever you need to teleport to the Fire Mages’ area. Information gathered from public forums or data available on the internet and portrayed here.
