Gothic 3 Hints

Weapon Chests

• There are 48 special chests in the game that I call weapon chests because all together, they contain a large and varied set of weapons, including otherwise-ungettable ones like the two-handed Wrath of Innos sword. Each weapon isn't set to a specific weapon chest, but is instead assigned a specific slot in the sequence. No matter which of the weapon chests you open first, you'll get a Hashishin knife from it, since it's set to be the first in the sequence. The second weapon chest you open will give you a Hashishin bow, and so on down to the 48th chest you open giving you the Wrath of Innos.
  
  Several of these chests are in restricted or hard-to-get-to-areas, but you should be able to get to most of them after building up your character a little. If you go on a "weapon chest pilgrimage," you can end up getting several powerful weapons fairly early in the game.
