Gothic 3 Hints

Eliminate the orc patrol on the farm.

  • 1 of 16: Talk to Gelford in the small Reddock outdoor area until you can volunteer for this mission.
  • 2 of 16: To find these orcs, go up the stairs in Reddock's small outdoor area and then run straight SW.
  • 3 of 16: You'll soon come to a little farm area where the orcs are hanging out.
  • 4 of 16: Three of them are wandering around the farm area, and one named Topork is sitting on a typical orcish throne inside the building.
  • 5 of 16: You could just attack, but then you'd have to fight all four orcs and their human slave at the same time.
  • 6 of 16: Instead, talk to Topork and challenge him to a duel.
  • 7 of 16: As soon as you're done talking to him, draw your weapon and hack him into unconsciousness to get 500 XP and Strength +1.
  • 8 of 16: Don't hit him with a killing blow after he goes down, though.
  • 9 of 16: After he wakes up, you can talk to him to get 250 XP and choose a prize of either 500 gold or the freedom of Kliff, the human slave outside.
  • 10 of 16: You'll want to free Kliff one way or another, but you don't have choose him over the gold. You could ask for the gold instead and then free Kliff by killing the orcs. (But note that you'll get more XP by freeing him this way.)
  • 11 of 16: When you're ready to kill the orcs, start by drawing your weapon and beating Topork into unconsciousness again.
  • 12 of 16: This time, deliver the killing blow right afterward.
  • 13 of 16: When you kill Topork, the other three orcs will probably turn hostile and come after you. If not, go outside and attack them.
  • 14 of 16: After they're all dead, you'll get 750 XP and a Rebel rep point.
  • 15 of 16: Loot them all and then optionally kill the pigs and chickens for some extra XP. (Note that attacking the pigs will rile up Kliff if he's still around, forcing you to knock him out, but that's okay -- more XP and loot!)
  • 16 of 16: You can go straight back to Gelford to get 500 gold and 250 XP for this accomplishment, but before you do, you'll probably want to deal with the orcs' now-free human slave if you haven't already. (See the "Reddock needs a smith" mission for the details on that.)
