Arcania: Gothic 4 Hints
How can I get this door open?
1 of 6: You'll have to look around for the key.
2 of 6: Go down the NE passage and fight the fire golem. (Note that like the "holy guardians" at the monastery, it's vulnerable to fire spells, and can't throw any of its own -- just rocks.)
3 of 6: Take the north passage from the golem's room and drop down to a lower floor, ready to fight a couple of skeletons right after you do. Some skeletal archers to the east will probably spot you, so deal with them next.
4 of 6: Go to the south end of the archers' room to see a demonlord, two fire golems, and a priest of fire ahead. Draw them off and kill them one at a time. (Note that killing the demonlord gets you the key you need for the door, but you can't get back to it by going back the way you came.)
5 of 6: Go to the south end of their room to find two more fire priests near a drop-down. You'll probably just want to run by the priests and drop down, then turn right (west) and run along to leave them behind.
6 of 6: You'll soon return to the room with the stone door, so go up to it and open it.
