Gothic 3 Hints

Destroy the five artifacts of Adanos!

  • 1 of 8: Xardas gives you this mission when you report to him after finishing "Find the five artifacts of Adanos!"
  • 2 of 8: He wants you to destroy the five Adanos artifacts using a focus stone he gives you and the furnace that's deep in the Hammer Clan mine.
  • 3 of 8: To make this process much easier, clear the orcs out of the Hammer Clan's mine on their Mine Freeing Missions if you haven't already.
  • 4 of 8: Enter the mine and go all the way down to the huge ore furnace.
  • 5 of 8: Stand near it so that the words "Ore furnace" appear on the screen, then click to get the option to use the focus stone.
  • 6 of 8: Do so, then choose to destroy the five Adanos artifacts to get 5000 XP.
  • 7 of 8: After that's done, report back to Xardas to hear more of his plan.
  • 8 of 8: Also, if Saturas is still alive, you can go to Al Shedim and tell him about destroying the artifacts to get 2500 XP.
