Gothic 3 Hints

How loyal are the orcs' mercenaries?

  • 1 of 14: Talk to Marik, the leader of the orcs' mercenaries, to get this mission. He'll be standing near the steps to the guarded castle gate.
  • 2 of 14: He'll want you to go around and check in with his mercenaries to see how loyal they're feeling these days.
  • 3 of 14: There are several mercs you can just talk to and then report back to Marik on.
  • 4 of 14: These include Sanford in his warehouse, Bradley in the slave camp area, and Dan, Fedor, Goose, and Ugo up in the arena area.
  • 5 of 14: You get a total of 3000 XP for asking them about Marik, and a total of 600 gold and 2000 XP for reporting your findings to Marik.
  • 6 of 14: You can report Dennis at the stockyard west of town after learning something about him from Leon while on the "Tell Dennis that Bradley needs a new slave" mission. This gets you 200 gold and 500 XP. (You can get 500 more XP by reporting Dennis to Elber on the north farm.)
  • 7 of 14: See the "Bring Marik proof that Ashton embezzles gold" mission for something you can report Ashton for.
  • 8 of 14: You can report Trano for being lazy while on the rebel mission "Make the tired mercenary leave the rebels' meeting point."
  • 9 of 14: You can report Elber's problems with his people after talking to him about it on the grain farm to the north to get 200 gold and 500 XP.
  • 10 of 14: And you can do the "Collect the rent for Domenik's farm" mission and report on Domenik.
  • 11 of 14: After you do one of the Liberation Missions in which you find out that Sanford is the rebel spy in the city, you can report this to Marik for 500 XP, though he'll want some proof to back it up.
  • 12 of 14: The proof you need is a letter that Sanford has written to the rebels in Okara, but hasn't delivered yet.
  • 13 of 14: You can get that letter by getting Sanford's "A Message for Okara" mission, or you can just beat him up and take the letter from him.
  • 14 of 14: If you're sure you want to finish this mission instead of the message-delivery one, go give the letter to Marik to get 2000 gold, 1500 XP, and five Montera rep points.
