Tips from users

Some tips and tricks for Gothic 3 beginners:
(Some of the exploits described in here might not work, since they were corrected in the Community Patches)

Sequence:
It is recommendable to do all quests in Myrtana at first. Than go to Varant and do the quests there. Nordmar is very hard, do it as late as possible, if you don't want to load all 5 minutes.

Thief talents:
Don't learn all of it. Most of them are not helpful. It's enough when you learn Difficult Locks, Bargain and Excuses. Pickpocket is not useful, because you get only a little bit of gold and no experience. Knockdown and Murder you don't need frequently, but it's sometimes helpful (in this situation there is mostly another way).

Revolutions:
Wait with revolutions! It's not good to free each town after doing all quests there. After a determined number of revolutions you get (big) problems. Do it as late as possible.

Alchemy:
It's not possible to learn Make poison. If you try it you lose gold and learning points, but you don't get the skill.
Permanent Potions is not useful, because it doubled only the effect of Goblinberry, Dragonroot and so on. And because there are not enough King's sorrel it's wastage to learn Permanent Potions.
Healing and Mana Potion is very helpful. There are much possibilities to make it and there are enough resources for doing that. Important is only to have enough vials and water.

Teleport Stones:
Nearly each town/village has a own one. Look for it, redundant walking bothers.

Maps:
The ingame maps are not really helpful. It's no problem if you don't find any locations. Print a map of this forum and add details you need.

Remote fight:
Buy all arrows from the traders you visit, there are unfortunately to less arrows in the game. Use strongly bows or crossbows for animals like trolls, ogres, an so on. Don't be economically, a good weapon save your life.

Shamans:
There are many shamans in Nordmar. Be careful, their attacks are very strongly! Use effective weapons or spells to kill them. Kill them before you attack the other orcs or goblins.

Escort Quests:
There are many quests for that you have to escort somebody. Often this quests fail, because of the strength of this NPCs. It's recommendable to clean the lanes you will use, before you go there with the NPC. Than you can go without any scare to lose the NPC.

I give you the tips which I found in G3:

*Climb on a roof of a Mora Sul temple and jump into hole - you're in the temple and you don't need no keys!

*If you wanna earn easy money, made Bastard sword.

*If you swimming in a sea, you can open an inventory and can attack people from here or do something else.

*Sit down on a thrown/chair/bench and nobody will attack you

*If you attack somebody in town, wield poisoned weapon, the only person who will attack you is your victim

If you open your map in the middle of a fight then the enemies won't attack you 'till you close it

To make more easy money you can beat the hunting skill trainer (i forgot his name) in front of Cape Dun a few times, take his bow (worth 5550 gold) and sell it. Every time he has a new bow with him and he will still speak to you!

About Vatras:

People have some bugs about finding the prisoner in Lago or some need to kill him but you need to liberate Lago first. Anyway as long as you do not want to lead him to Hurit's camp I have a tip for you: You can enter his cell from the ceiling, there is a hole. Just start climbing the mountain from where the nomad (lion druid) stands. You have to jump all the time so you don't fall back. When you are above his cell just jump there. Kill him or talk to him. I don't know if liberating Lago is a big problem, maybe they wouldn't let you in Ishtar.

if you want a weapon like a demon sword but you don't have enough strength all you need is a +2 strength potion open you inventory click on the potion the close your inventory quick open it again and you will see the potion, you can do this with any potion of plant or tablets or food

In the start of the game after you liberated Ardea you can draw your sword and fight with Gorn and take his battleaxe which is 10.500 gold to sell and yeah, that is a really good money for a start, and if you go to Lester and fight him and take his cudgel then come back fight with Gorn till you get like 10 or 20 battleaxes and cudgels and sell them you will have at least 100.000 gold for a good start. Where to sell them: just go to Reddock and trade there.
Then go to Cape Dun and trade, then Ardea; if you keep going like this you'll get a lot money. NEVER get far away from Ardea if you didn't get lots of battleaxes to sell because Gorn and others will disappear if you get too far away.

One more thing : if you gave something to an npc (like gold) you can get it if you beat him or her you'll get what you gave even if it's a quest objects (like crates of fur) but be sure there's none watching you and don't even think about doing it to commanders in cities or bases because they can't be beaten they'll die. If you need to beat commanders just learn the "knock opponent" skill in thievery and get a solid wood sneak then hit him behind he'll get knocked down and you can rob him.

How to kill

At the beginning, in Ardea, the orcs are dying. Their names are red, they are agressiv, so that´s nothing to wonder.
If the name of the NPC isn´t red, you have to kill the NPC with a finishing move. Knock your opponet out, then go to your opponet, focus him and hold on the right mouse, have a long click on the left. The hero should now kill the opponet.

Another way to kill is, taking your crossbow or mage.
Both kills directly and you don´t have to take an extra move.
The bow kills directly, too, but not, if you use a headknock.
