Gothic 3 Hints
Liberate Nordmar!
1 of 13: Kerth will give you this mission when you finish his Ancestor Missions.
2 of 13: You're to liberate Nordmar from the orcs by going around and destroying all five major orc camps.
3 of 13: You've probably already finished off two of them in the course of the ancestor missions.
4 of 13: You had to wreck one orc camp to get an ancestor stone on the "Angir's tomb" mission.
5 of 13: You passed by two major orc camps on your way to Akascha's tomb on the "Akascha's ancestor stone" mission, though you may not have noticed the first one.
6 of 13: The first camp is just a bit west of the three-sign area that's mentioned early in the directions to get to Akascha's tomb.
7 of 13: You'll probably remember the second orc camp that's on the way to the tomb -- it's mentioned in the directions because you have to run right by it.
8 of 13: The orc camp at Akascha's tomb doesn't count as one of the Big Five, since the orcs don't ever flee and give an "Orc camp wiped out!!!" entry like the five major camps do when enough orcs are killed in them.
9 of 13: However, if you go SE down the road from next to the entrance to Akascha's tomb, you'll eventually come across a major orc camp on the left side of the road that does count.
10 of 13: For the last camp, go to the Hammer Clan village and follow my directions for getting to the Fire Clan village (see link below) up to the part where you're in large valleys with ice golems. Find the spot in one valley with the goblin camp on the right (east), then go past the goblin camp to find the orc camp.
11 of 13: You'll get 2500 XP and two Nordmar rep points for every orc camp that you wipe out, plus a one-time reward of 5000 XP, 10 Fire Clan rep points, and five Nordmar rep points after you get the last one.
12 of 13: Report success to Kerth to get 1500 XP and your choice of rewards (a Nordmarian sword, a pure magic ore blank, or 10,000 gold).
13 of 13: TIP: The pure magic ore blank is by *far* the hardest of those three things to find elsewhere, so you should probably choose it.
