Well, I'm still resting, Marian and looney4labs !! grin

Although, truth be told, it's mainly because I have a busy period with my voluntary work right now and not as much "play" time.

[ So unfortunately I can't blame everything on the Orcs !! snicker ]

Mad, Now that you're at the castle, you can start killing Orcs for big experience points.
Click to reveal..
Get them to chase you to the beam leading into the castle. They can't get up it. you can.


I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

They get pretty frustrated. I love watching them try to figure out how to get at me.

I found this site which is helpful in finding the locations of all characters in Gothic 2: Character locations The site is in German but language shouldn't be a problem when searching names. With so many quests it's easy to forget who's who and where they were.

I need some help: I am ready to go to the valley of mines. I have been through the tunnel once before but it turned into night. I turned right on the path and ran into a couple of orcs who then chased me back into the tunnel. Now whenever I try to go back through the tunnel they are waiting for me. I can't fight them. Can I outrun them, and if so, in which direction should I run?

Never mind. I just ran left this time with the orcs on my tail, but I made it to the castle.

Got a quiet worry .... woozy

When I come to tackle the Stone Dragon in Chapter 4, will I need the Sacred Hammer ??
[I am presuming there will be Stone Golems around.]

I did have it earlier in the game because of a quest initiated by Lee
Click to reveal..
I got it by using a sleep spell on the guardian and stealing it
but in that same quest I had to give it to the Judge - and I've never been able to get it back from him rolleyes

I think the only way might be to kill him.
But I've never succeeded in doing that without getting caught eek

I'm in the same boat as you, Mad. I had the hammer. Now the Judge has it. Haven't tried recently to get it back. I'm just starting the dragon quests but I don't know how I'm doing there yet.

Psst! If you get the hammer first just pass it on to me. idea

Later:
Mad, you don't need the Sacred Hammer. I just killed the Stone Dragon with my bow and arrows. However,
Click to reveal..
he continually regenerates as you are hitting him so make sure your dexterity/strength are stronger than his regeneration
.

Pretty much any character can beat any of the dragons, I've discovered. You just need to make sure you don't create a character that's too generalized.

Hi Mad,

There will be a couple more when you go for the stone dragon. They shouldn't be much of a challenge for you now.

You don't need the Sacred Hammer. I was able to kill all types of golems with my bow. The only kind that may cause trouble are the ice golems as they can freeze you rendering you helpless. Just watch for that freezing magic coming your way and side step it or run then do a few more range attacks. I don't know how a melee attack would work as I did not try that.

Well, over the last several days (and with the occasional use of God Mode) I have now dealt with three of the dragons - and have mainly defeated their associated golems by using "opposite" magic from scrolls.
[For example fire against ice yes]

I must again say that after having reached the Valley of the Mines, I have found sections of Gothic 2 to be much more difficult than any part of the original Gothic - and that's just the classic Gothic 2, not the NotR version.
However, as I have always fully confessed, I am not a truly orthodox fighter (because of my occasional use of God Mode) but I am enjoying myself. And that's what I aim for with all my games - be they Casuals, Adventures or RPGs snicker
