Arcania: Gothic 4 Hints
How can I get this barred gate open?
1 of 6: You can't lockpick it, so you'll have to find its key.
2 of 6: Go down the passage on the opposite side of the room to find a large room with two stone golems and a bunch of skeletons. Lure the golems off one at a time, then start in on the skeletons.
3 of 6: Clear out that room, including the skeletons who are guarding the NW and NE passages, then use either passage to get around to the northern room. (Note that the NE passage is much shorter and has a lot less combat.)
4 of 6: In the northern room are a bunch of skeletons you'll need to fight, so use the lure-them-off tactic to eventually finish them all off.
5 of 6: In the room north of that one, kill off the four skeletons in pairs, then raid the chest that's against the north wall to get the key you need.
6 of 6: You can now finally return to the barred gate and open it.
