Arcania: Gothic 4 Hints

Secret Area Notes

  • 1 of 11: On the west side of the monastery courtyard, find the open door that leads into a small library room.
  • 2 of 11: Go to the NE corner in the back of the room to find a lever on the wall.
  • 3 of 11: Use it to open a secret door in the NW corner that leads to a room with a chest and a recipe scroll.
  • 4 of 11: In the corner that's left of the chest is another lever. Jump over the table if necessary to reach it, then use it to open a secret door in the west wall.
  • 5 of 11: Past it is a small room with an ancient relic and another recipe scroll on a table.
  • 6 of 11: Return to the courtyard and climb up either set of stairs along its southern side. Past the top of the stairs, go along the western curvy walkway to get to where you can jump onto a roof.
  • 7 of 11: Move across the roofs and planks until you can jump over to a square wooden platform, then hop onto the next roof. Cross it and drop down onto a curvy stone walkway.
  • 8 of 11: Use the lever that's near where you drop down, then cross the walkway to find a chest. After looting it, go back over to the lever, but don't use the plank to get back onto the rooftops. After quicksaving, jump onto the stone railing to the left of the plank. (If you face the railing directly, you'll probably overshoot it and land in the courtyard. Try facing the railing at an angle and then jumping onto it.)
  • 9 of 11: Once you're on it, back up a bit so you can see a short, slanty wooden overhang to the left and down a ways. Quicksave again, then jump from the stone railing to the overhang. Pick up the Beliar artifact, then jump down to the courtyard. (You'll take a bit of damage from the fall, but probably not much.)
  • 10 of 11: At the north end of the courtyard, go up the wooden steps to reach a small upper room. The last lever you used opened a secret door in the back of the room that leads to a chest and a recipe scroll.
  • 11 of 11: There's one final lever near a bookstand in that room. Use it to open a nearby secret door that leads to a small room with a chest and another recipe scroll.
