Arcania: Gothic 4 Hints

How can I get through the opening dream sequence?

  • 1 of 8: Run down the short path from the throne to find a doorway with a torch to the left of it.
  • 2 of 8: Past the doorway, run down the passage until you find a barred door. Move up to it so you can open it by using the Interact key, then go through it and draw your sword.
  • 3 of 8: Hack all of the fallen townsmen who attack you, and don't worry about your health. You're invincible throughout the dream.
  • 4 of 8: Keep going down the linear tunnel path, hacking fallen guys, until you come to a big and scary archdemon.
  • 5 of 8: Remembering your dreamy invincibility, run boldly up to the archdemon and hack on it until it vanishes.
  • 6 of 8: Go through the passage it was blocking with its foul magic and continue onward, hacking fallen paladins, mages, and the like as you encounter them.
  • 7 of 8: When you come to the archdemon again, run up and hack on him until he disappears again.
  • 8 of 8: That'll end the dream sequence, and you'll get your first two main quests after you wake up and talk to Ivy.
