Gothic 3 Hints

Akascha's ancestor stone.

  • 1 of 7: This is the tomb at the red X that's nearest the top right corner of the ancestor map that Kerth gave you.
  • 2 of 7: After you thrash all the orcs at the camp, search the shamans' bodies to get Akascha's ancestor stone.
  • 3 of 7: Then systematically clear out the two chambers in the cave.
  • 4 of 7: Actually, you only have to clear out the first chamber, since it's the one that has the runed pedestal gadget in it.
  • 5 of 7: Stand so that the words "Runed pedestal" come up, then click and choose to place the ancestor stone in the pedestal.
  • 6 of 7: That'll get you 2500 XP, five Fire Clan rep points, five Nordmar rep points, and Ancient Knowledge +10.
  • 7 of 7: And don't forget to loot Akascha's body to get one of the two Rings of Adanos. Those are powerful main-mission artifacts.
