It tells oyu everything you need to know about the game, if there are videos uploaded about it 20 years after its release and people keep playing it. Thumbs up!
I bought the gothic games on gog 2 weeks ago and already finished gothic 1 twice. gothic 2 is also oretty good, but the damage calculation is horrible and incredibly feels bad man for the first 10 hours. unless you don't play melee. honestly, as a german, I didn't know that gothic is way more niche than elder scrolls, but I'm having a lot of fun with both.
I finished this game 4+ times with each class back in the day and never once knew that freeze the seeker trick for the free spells.. learn something new all the time 😅
its not only for seekers, you can do it to everything, like merchants too but I have G2 Golden edition and it doesnt work there, you need some older versions. To be honest I'm glad that bullshit doesnt work on mine version, its just cheating and destroying fun
You must finish it way more times to know all about it, and it is still not certain. No other game has so much curiosity in it. I finished it well over several dozen times and I am still finding new things of Gothic. I'm from Poland btw, in this country this was a hit game, so finishing it that much times in normal.
There is even a seeker with wave of death, you can find him guarding a bridge (its the one on the way to the water mages when you start from the tavern, close to the folem you have to defeat to get a fire mage) But it isnt an intended feature so dont abuse this bug too much.
@@restlessheroes 1. Equip magic wand that gives +20 mana 2. Cast summon goblin or use any other spell 3. Unequip and equip wand again for free 20 mana 4. Repeat the process
Another thing you can do with magic wand is to equip it, and have some better weapon in inventory, Innos Hammer is ideal. Cast transformation spell, and after that return to human form. You should notice equiped hammer...and permament +20 mana effect from wand. You can repeat this process to have absurd amount of mana
People post tips and tricks of Gothic from time to time, but no one post about how to reach the 2nd floor of the gatehouse at the snow dragon area. I know the legit way through.
Works in the older version. The new versions and even the mods have a fix for that. Cuz iceblock used to do dmg over time but it was a small amount so they fix it doing 2 things. That depends on the mode. Some modes completely removed ice block dmf over time. Some removed dmg over time but increased the initial dmg. And some are pure evil. If u ice block and enemy with 100 hp it will take dmg over time untill he reaches 3 hp the the ice block will stop working. So yeah u can't do that anymore and im ok with it. It was busted and might as well use marvin to get your runes.
Is there a way to enable screenshots in Gothic 2? Like in Settings or in some directory .ini document or something? Something which would enable quick screenshots(as in not PrintScreen and then Paste into Paint, that takes too much time) and which would save screenshots automatically in the game directory or some other folder?
@@Maczari without any str or dex, without any weapons. gothic 2 is super easy as a mage but in NotR pure mage is difficulty insane or annoying or impossible... well you name it. have fun
@@andreasandreou1341 Yea indeed, in NotR you receive new spells that were useful in previous chapter only. Actually total endgame on Irdorath is super easy as mage, but only endgame, when you kill all mobs because of AoE spells
@@restlessheroes yeah I seen that on youtube, I also seen the guy beating orc elite with a stick and 1 lvl, its called tryhard :P I prefer to hide behind the rocks, trees or other map objects or just wait a bit more to beat them normal way without tryhard :)
you only need magic as a mage. If u use your skillpoints to get the maximum mana a teacher can teach you whitch is 200 i think then u use the king sorel plant to perma increase your mana u can have so much mana that u can spam 4th circle spell and even cast 4-5 times in a row the wave of death. mage is actually op
@@Marius-us1tq mage is the worst class in g2, game is easy so you can pass it even as a mage but still in compare to other vocations playing mage is the hardest. Besides, you need some melle as a mage to make mission with possessed almanacs where you need to beat Vino, Malak, Bromor , Randolph etc and melee help with with the weaker creatures to not waste mana for scavengers
I might be a year late, but another neat little trick, playing as a mage, is entering the 2nd magic circle (or whatever it is called in eng) by talking to Milten in the Valley of Mines. It normally costs 10 LP in the Monastary (Parlan iirc), but Milten does it for 5. You even get a nice little different dialogue.
Nope. The only runes you can use without any requirements is the light and teleport runes. The ones you find on seekers inventory you must be mage and research the equivelant magic circle the runes belongs to.
I even regular light needs 1. Circle learned. It's only the teleportation and paladin runes that need nothing. But you only find holy light and maybe a paladin healing rune in chapter 5. I believe. But I think you have to be paladin anyway for the mob to spawn that has the rune.
Well it depends on you. I continued this mage from an old saved game in which I had my strenght trained to 90 in chapter 1 as guildless, from an NPC at the "mercenary camp" (aka Onar's Farm I think). You can defently aim for dexterity and rush through chapters instead of stalling like I did.
@@oyblech8671 In NotR I've always seen dex as a very useful way of getting XP if you learn pickpocket - depends on your perspective, but imo your 10 lp investment is returned by quite a lot. At any rate, it depends on everyone's playstyle. Even if I focus on str, I tend to invest a bit in dex too just for that.
You can kill anything with "destroy undead" spell if you use it or actually missuse it the way it is shown in the video. With indirect focusing without locking a name just a target.
not really it's far more fun exploiting the game than cheating outright its something primal in it for example to cheat you just need some commands but to exploit you need specific circumstances
it takes too long because dragon has a very high life regeneration and demon has bad AI sometimes and hits slow or runs around. Fear somehow stops dragon's life regeneration so fight becomes lot faster and more controlable.
@@spacecomunication nah its not so long, duration of summoning is around 60 seconds and its twice what demon need to kill dragon, anyways it never happened to me that demon would not make it before 60 seconds ;p
This worked in G2, but not in G2 NotR. I couldn't take him down even with 3 or 4 demons at a time. He hit them few times and demons died. They are no match for the dragon.
@@zedzoony NO! I always did it in NotR of course, 1 demon is fair enough and beat dragon with 90% hp left... In g2? you just beat dragon straight away like lizard or scavenger without any problems, that obvious we speak about the expansion version. I have golden edition on steam
@@zedzoony but maybe you forgot to speak with the dragon and he was immortal hm? you have to bring charged eye of Innos, speak with the dragon AND AFTER TALK SUMMON DEMON, because dragon is immortal before the talk
I would have to disagree. You can happen upon a bug or exploit unknowingly, you might not even realize that it is one while you have to actively seek out and use cheats. Cheats are also programmed into the game intentionaly by the developers, while bugs and exploits are not
@@BlueDragonKnight77 You are are mistaken. What you are refering to is "Cheat codes" which is not something I had in mind. "Cheating" is using various bugs and exploits to gain advantage. Just because you didn't enter any codes doesn't mean you can't cheat. Exploits by their very definition are about bugs and mechanics being used repeatedly in a way not indended by the developers to gain advantage.
@@garok2412 In a wider sense "cheating" would include all of the above, since it quite literaly means getting an unfair advantage. But since we were talking about the gaming industry you can usually be way more specific. Used a bug? Thats specifically called bug-using, used an exploit? Exploiting. So no, I don't think that I am mistaken here
@@BlueDragonKnight77 But you are. It doesn't matter if it's gaming or not. "Exploit" is already a pretty specific term. It's different from cheat-code cheating, but at the end of the day it is still another form cheating and that's something that's been widely agreed upon.

What about the wand of magic regeneration and goblin army trick?
Neat trick with the storm spell. Never thought of that!
I remember how when i was playing Notr as a mage, the Fear spell was broken and lasted permanently on dragons.
