Gothic 3 Hints

Combat Tips

  • 1 of 5: There will be a lot of tough orcs and mercenaries who'll be hostile to you the moment the attack starts, so make sure you're ready, having gotten all the level-ups and skills you can, along with lots of healing items.
  • 2 of 5: To avoid getting overwhelmed, quickly run out of the city and see if you can get only one or two enemies to follow you. That should make it more manageable.
  • 3 of 5: For instance, right after you talk Wenzel into starting the fight, run out of the lighthouse, past the arena, and into the forest.
  • 4 of 5: This strategy is especially useful if you're good with ranged combat, such as arrows and spells.
  • 5 of 5: If that's not enough, try using the "kill them one at a time" strategy outlined in the general Liberation Tips to kill off several orcs and/or mercs before getting Wenzel to start the attack.
