“The Swamp Camp is different from the other camps. The Gurus speak of the Sleeper and promise enlightenment. If I serve and prove myself, I can be part of it. Perhaps it is dangerous, but here lies power … a different kind of power.”
Quest Log “Admission to the Swamp Camp”
You become a Templar in two steps: First Cor Kalom takes you as a Novice into the Swamp Camp (Chapter 1), then Cor Angar makes you a Templar (Chapter 3).
How you become a Templar: your path chapter by chapter
Every chapter has the same structure: first your goal (level and status), then what you must do, what you learn, your equipment – and what's worth doing additionally.

Learning points and experience per chapter
How much level you need in each chapter and how much of that the quests on this page already give you – the rest you get from combat.
| Chapter | Learning points for skills | Minimum level | Experience from quests | From combat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chapter 1Become a Novice | none newup to here 0 LP – at level 5 remaining 50 LP for attributes | Level 57.500 Experience · Cor Kalom will only accept you then | 700 | 6.800 |

Learning points count only the skills of the path with fixed costs; attributes cost per point and take what is left over. Experience from quests are all quests on this page up to this chapter combined – the reward of an acceptance quest counts starting from the next chapter, since you only receive it after you already have the level.

Calculated with the Build Helper on "Gothic", without jewelry and potions: first the attribute to 100, then the talents in the order of the chapter path. The calculator only knows the critical chance of talents – combos are not decoded. "Hits" = hits until kill with the named weapon; the enemies are in the order of the chapters; gray = the build does not yet wear at this level. From level 10 onwards, the table calculates with the Templar's Armor and the circles – an assumption, because what level Cor Angar requires for admission is not in the decoded game code. A full playthrough was in Chapter 4 at level 20–28.
