Arcania: Gothic 4 Hints
Find the entrance to the hidden grotto
1 of 10: Exit Xardas' room and turn right to find a narrow, rocky path that leads down to some stones you need to jump across to reach the start of a cave tunnel. (Or you can just drop into the water and slosh your way over there -- it won't hurt you any.)
2 of 10: Run down the cave tunnel until you reach a red-lit room, where you'll encounter three skeleton warriors.
3 of 10: The stone door at the south end of that room is locked.
4 of 10: Move along the passage past the stone door until you reach a large room with two fire golems in it, then trash them and move on to the next room.
5 of 10: It has three skeletons in it, two of which are priests of fire. Try to lure off the third skeleton and dispose of it before letting the priests see you.
6 of 10: In the next room, try to shoot the two priests of fire through the windows in the back wall without them hitting you. It can be a pain, but it's also a pain for them to hit you. (Note that arrows will work better for this than spells.)
7 of 10: Go west from the room and south at the path split to reach a room with two more priests of fire, plus two melee skeletons. Dispose of them, then move on to reach the room on the other side of the windows. If you shot down both priests of fire in that room through the windows, there won't be any hostiles left.
8 of 10: The next room has one of those flapping ahn'bael freaks to kill. Do so, then go south to a large room with a single melee skeleton at its south end. The next room has five skeletons, two of which are priests of fire.
9 of 10: Head south from the next room and move forward slowly until you can see a bunch of flappy ahn'bael and two demons in the distance. It'll probably be impossible to lure them off one at a time, but at least they won't go far from their room. You can use that fact to hit them with ranged attacks while retreating, then go back after them when they retreat back to their room.
10 of 10: After you finally finish them all off, go to the south end of their room to find an exit that leads outside. Using the area map, you'll see that you're back in the Monastery region, and are ready for the Monastery Endgame.
