Part 2:

After arriving to Reddock, I decided to go cleanse the underground pass of Reddock. Taking Copper with me, I singled out the goblins and dealt with the lizards. Eventually, the pass was clean. I found a Hashishin Knife in a Heavy Chest, weaker than the Orc Slayer but poisonous. With this, I made my way to Cape Dun. I fulfilled the petty tasks of the villagers, then decided to go wolf hunting. I realised at this point that in 1-on-1 fights against animals, this knife would be useless, since it poisons upon thrusting, but with the wolves' attention focused on the new companion Cyrus, I managed to dispatch all of them - having a few close calls in the process. (Generally, if I got knocked down I just waited 'till the wolf was fighting Cyrus then stood up, poisoned and slowly killed the wolf, waiting in between every two strikes to avoid a backlash from the wolf.) I then went to learn skinning animals from Jens after rescuing Harek from the woods and bringing him to Jens' hut.

Danger level (0-10): 7.
Level: 6.
New stats: Hunting 125, +1 Str, +1 Thieving, +1 Alchemy.
New skills: Stalk animals, Skin animals.

I entered the Temple and fought Raven. He was pretty hard to beat because I spammed attacks recklessly not realizing he can also damage me while he blocks, but I changed to a more careful style and killed him with enough health left. With his Stone Tables I could tell Saturas everything about the temples I never went to^^
I sacrificed some life to use Beliar's Claw and went to the valley of mines and tear through everything, but I avoid more than one orc at once. After getting the information from Garond I go to Diego and tell him to join me and that's where our long friendship comes to an abrupt end. Before I went to him I swapped to the armor of the Ring of Water, but when he joined me I thought, hey, he's my best friend, he wouldn't kill me just because I wear another armor. WRONG! I swapped to the bandit's armor, one strike from Diego, his sword rammed into my stomach and it was over. He showed no regret!

So I read many of your diaries and started playing on hardcore myself few days ago
So right now I am in the Valley of Mines trying to get proof from Garond that dragons exist. It wasn't so hard till now but I guess that will change when seekers will show up.
That's it for now, good luck for everyone trying to beat the game on hardcore

I'm gonna try G1 HC again... hopefully I won't die this time. I'll try the same build as before.

Hero Name: Random Hero #612
Desired Build: Bow/Crossbow, 2H
Desired Guild: Mercenary
Plan: try to think more before acting

well this is it. For now

[Alwin]

Well, I died. I decided to set out to Montera with Copper, or somewhere, but bumped into that orc patrol. Well, that wouldn't have been a problem, except that I met a wolf as well. I was killing it well in rhythm, but that bastard Copper poked him and so I got out of said rhythm, getting owned pretty quickly.

EDIT: Oh yes, sorry 'bout that. Level 8 upon time of death, with the same stats as before, basically (Hunting 125, Strength something like 105). I also forgot to say that I cleaned the orcs from the farm, the ones with Topork, one-by-one, freed Kliff and brought him to Reddock before dying. Cause of death: Wolf.

[Bastardo]

Wanna give us more info so I will add you to the list later? (if you do, please do that in the same post, I get confused easily)

KILLED BY GREG AT "DEXTER TOWER"
Name: Comrade
Level: 12
Class: Fire Mage
Chapter 3
Well that was kinda stupid death :/. While I was fighting with bandits at the dexter tower some farmers who have escaped the farm with MALAK a while ago came to help me fight the bandits. After we won a fight I thought to beat farmers for some exp, so I tried that but MALAK seemed to be tougher than I imagined so I ran away from farmers and started shooting at them with my bow from the distance and killed them... Well I thought nobody will miss those farmers anyway (I was wrong ). So then I came to Greg to talk with him about that Dexter business. Oh by the way Greg was sitting in the house that used to be Dexter's, and Greg wasn't able to see how I killed those poor farmers, because usually people can't see through the walls! (well but this is Gothic ). So I walked in the house where Greg was sitting comfortably in the armchair, and when he heard my steps (yeh he heard my very own steps sound) he jumped up, draw his sword and stabbed me before I was able to understand wtf is happening...
So this is the end of my story...

[Mage Master]

Update:

I'm a lvl 14 and I just become a mercenary, and I'm on my way to the sect camp from the mine. I went through the new camp to better myself and well... i became a merc while i was at it.
heres an image of my stats.

[Mage Master]

SUCCESSSS!!!

I've finally beaten Gothic I HC. yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy...
Here's a screen of my last stats

[Hellbilly]

oh... and the sleeper got kinna bugged but then he fixed himself I guess. pic here

You're the second guy in the HC challenge that has happened to. The other one wasn't as lucky as you; for him, the Sleeper never went back to his place.

Oh, and congratulations on completing the challenge succesfully!

[Mage Master]

OK I'm gonna try G2 hc so here goes

Game: Gothic II
Hero Name: Random Hero #612
Desired Build: Bow/Crossbow, 2H
Desired Guild: Mercenary

it seems fair for my succsesful character to contiue the story so yeah...

oh and when am I gonna get added in the "Hall of Fame"

[KGS]

I read the thread and decided to give it a try... I'll be playing on my laptop while on vacantion so and I might not have internet so I might not be able to update my info regularly...

Game: Gothic
Hero Name: Frost1
Desired Build: 2H + 4th sircle
Desired Guild: Templar

yesterday i played for a while but nothing significant happened exept that i made tons of crude swords (it's nice that you can pick locks without learning lockpicking and sect camp guys don't notice me picking their chests :P) so money aren't a problem for me now

[Der_Jonn]

After a lengthy pause from Gothic, I decided to have another go at NotR hardcore. Since I've already completed the hardcore challenge as a Magician of Fire and as a dexterty based Paladin, I'll be playing a one hand strength character this time. To make this more interesting, I've placed some restrictions on myself:

- I have to become a merc (since mercs get the best one hand weapons in late game, that isn't much of a restriction, despite the fact that mercs are overall the weakest guild)
- I'm not allowed to spend any LPs on dexterty (thus giving me a much slower start because I can't use bows or the Rapier and the Master Sword)
- I'm not allowed to pray to Beliar (meaning that I can't get lots of gold at the beginning by sacraficing mana to Beliar)
- I'm not allowed to use Beliar's Claw
- I'm not allowed to save 4 LPs at every LP cost threshold by getting 5 points for the old price (for instance when you have 59 strength, it's possible to get 5 strength at the price of 10 LPs, whereas regularly training to 64 strength would cost an additional 14 LPs)
- In the first two chapters, I'm not allowed to transform into a Dragon Snapper, Shadow Beast or Fire Lizard

Of course we do. Everyday, when I have to read all threads with new replies, that's the only notion that pushes me to do it. And all those users that post as well as read, they care even more, that's why their post count is in the thousands.
