Gothic 3 Hints

Random Item Chests

  • The chests listed below can randomly have some nice items in them, such as powerful spell scrolls, staves, and pure magic ore blanks. When you come across one, you can quicksave right before you open it, then keep quickrestoring and opening it until you get what you want. (Though if you're going for pure magic ore blanks, you'll have to have a *lot* of patience.)


    MYRTANA

    * Cape Dun: near the ramp leading up in the two-dragon area in the cave complex underneath the city
    * Faring: in the locked treasury room to the right (SW) of Kan's house in his restricted castle area
    * Gotha: near the cliff edge of a high-up mountain area that's just NW of the city (to get there, start at Faring's pass and take the first route listed in the instructions on getting to Nordmar; when you come to the cave tunnel entrance past the two-golem clearing, skip it and take the passage to the left to reach a large open area; turn left and look for a black troll near the cliff edge, then find the chest among some trees near the troll)
    * Okara: in the large troll camp a ways east of town and NW of Gotha (just a short distance SE of Kent's small cave -- see the mission about the malicious ripperbeasts)
    * Silden: near the throne in Umbrak's house, to the left of the waterfall that's a bit NE of the escaped slave camps (see the liberation mission about rescuing escaped slaves from the wilderness)
    * Trelis: in Vak's war room
    * Vengard: in the right (NE) tent of the three-tent cluster in the orc siege camp a bit SW of the city, near the throne in the fifth orc commander's house


    VARANT

    * Al Shedim: near the middle of the southern-most of three islands that are a ways to the east
    * Bakaresh: in the dark mage's room in the first temple building's treasury, to the left of the gold warrior statue on the lowest level of the first temple building's treasury
    * Ben Sala: next to where Julio sits and uses a water pipe during the day
    * Mora Sul: rightmost of the two chests that are to the right of the throne in Gonzales' home
