Gothic 3 Hints
Hidden ore.
1 of 7: You can get this mission by asking Hjalte about ore right after finishing "Hjalte is hungry" or asking Ugolf near the east end of the village.
2 of 7: The "tree bridge" that Hjalte mentions is a bit SW of his tower, down on the lower ground.
3 of 7: You can slide down the side of the mountain next to Hjalte's tower without taking any damage. Slowly go over the side, then lean on the Backward key to slow your descent.
4 of 7: Turn right (SW) when you reach the bottom and go forward a bit to find an area with a small lookout tower with large icicles hanging on it, a goblin camp, and a circle of standing stones.
5 of 7: Right near the standing stones is the fallen tree that can be used as a ramp to get up onto a bit of higher ground.
6 of 7: Run to the back of the area past the tree ramp to find a couple of sabertooth tigers and the hidden ore area. You'll get 2000 XP, three Hammer Clan rep points, and Smithing +1 for discovering it.
7 of 7: If you got this mission from Ugolf, you can report back to him to get a pickaxe and 750 XP.
