Gothic 3 Hints
Get rid of the roaming orc patrol between Reddock and Ardea.
1 of 9: Talk to Gelford in the small Reddock outdoor area until you can volunteer for this mission.
2 of 9: The orc scouting party that you're to eliminate for this one is a short way NW of Ardea.
3 of 9: The easiest way to find them is to go to Ardea and then leave via its NW exit.
4 of 9: At the path split, continue NW until you pass a burned-out building and come around to where the orcs are camped.
5 of 9: They aren't hostile at first, so you can wait and let some wild creatures weaken them a bit before you attack. (In fact, you can draw wild creatures to them if you want to, but they'll usually only attack wolves.)
6 of 9: When you're ready to attack, you may want to back off a ways and start hitting them with arrows or spells, then switch to a melee weapon when they get close.
7 of 9: Remember that when you defeat an orc with a sword, he's only unconscious. You'll need to kill the first orc you defeat either by using the killing blow manuever after he goes down (see page 26 of the game manual) or defeating him with arrows or spells (since those always count as a kill).
8 of 9: Once they're all four dead, you'll get 750 XP and a Rebel rep point.
9 of 9: Loot them and then report back to Gelford to get 500 gold and 250 XP.
