Arcania: Gothic 4 Hints

...or tear out the Ahn'Bael's hearts (0/5)

  • 1 of 7: All five ahn'bael creatures have been marked on the area map with quest markers, but they can still be very hard to get to due to the twisted nature of the city. Follow the directions below to get them all with a minimum of traveling.
  • 2 of 7: Start by going back down the stairs to the catacombs under the temple's big dome room. Run back through them and exit through the broken cellar doors, then look to the west for your first ahn'bael.
  • 3 of 7: Go back down the path to the sewer/cellar area, then go up the stairs to return to the open area with the teleporter stone. Go through the house that's directly north of the teleporter stone and down the path to find another ahn'bael (plus some undead if you didn't clear them out earlier).
  • 4 of 7: Return to the teleporter stone, then go down the west path and through Lester's gate. Go down the stairs and back to the harbor to find an ahn'bael flapping around near Diego's barricade.
  • 5 of 7: Go all the way back to the teleporter stone, then reenter the cellar and go out the sewer area's southern exit. (Note that whether or not there are a bunch of undead soldiers nearby depends on whether or not you cleared them out earlier.)
  • 6 of 7: Head down the path and on around until you reach the ahn'bael that's marked on the area map a ways NW of the fortress.
  • 7 of 7: After killing it, head south across the bridge to the fortress' forecourt, then go out its eastern gate and along the path until you find the fifth and final ahn'bael.
