Gothic 3 Hints

Kill the druid Runak.

  • 1 of 8: You can get this mission from Ballock, the leader of the orcs' druid search party.
  • 2 of 8: Do the "Find the orcs' druid search party" mission in order to find the orc party, then talk to Ballock.
  • 3 of 8: If you decide to kill Runak instead of Ballock and his band, then enter Runak's cabin and beat him up.
  • 4 of 8: After he goes down, deliver a killing blow to get 2500 XP, four Geldern rep points, and four Orc rep points.
  • 5 of 8: It is possible to fight and kill him without any of the rangers outside noticing. If they do notice and attack, you can probably run away from them. (Lead them to Ballock's camp, perhaps.)
  • 6 of 8: Report Runak's death to Ballock to get 300 gold and 500 XP.
  • 7 of 8: Also report it to Grok in Geldern's temple once you have access to it to get five mana potions and 1000 XP.
  • 8 of 8: TIP: You can still do Runak's "Kill the druid hunting party from Geldern" mission to get the XP and rep points -- you just can't report back to Runak for a reward.
