Gothic 3 Hints

Snorre's tomb.

  • 1 of 9: This is the tomb at the red X that's near the center of the right half of the ancestor map that Kerth gave you.
  • 2 of 9: Some orcs are already there, trying to raid the place themselves.
  • 3 of 9: Kill off the two guards at the cave entrance, then wait while the skeletons finish off the other orcs inside.
  • 4 of 9: Then use standard tactics to finish off the skeletons in the entry chamber a few at a time.
  • 5 of 9: When they're all down, you can find Snorre's ancestor stone in plain sight on the floor next to the throne.
  • 6 of 9: You can also find one on the body of the orc shaman. However, you only need one.
  • 7 of 9: After you similarly clear out the inner chamber, find the runed pedestal in the back of it.
  • 8 of 9: Stand so that the words "Runed pedestal" come up, then click and choose to place the ancestor stone in the pedestal.
  • 9 of 9: That'll get you 2500 XP, five Fire Clan rep points, five Nordmar rep points, and Strength +3.
