Have any of you collected the bounty on the molerat "Fatty"? It's supposedly attacking people on the road between the city and Valerio's vineyard. I've checked all paths (direct road, indirect road, forest/cave path) and some surroundings without any luck.

Its a cave/tunnel near that canyon near Bodowin. Its near the entrance from the city side, and cave itself is full of goblins and there are few ores of iron laying there.

You can also scale the cliffs on the road between valerio's vineyard and the city, and end up on a ridge overlooking the area where Fatty spawns. Ideal cheese opportunity for ranged characters.

It is in the cave,you could enter it by going left when coming from the village/alchemist hut and toward the city,when you get to the big open part with the campfire,opposite of it is small ledge you could go on and enter a cave. At the other end of it is fatty. It is easier to get it if you fallow the road toward the winery from the city and when you begin hiking go right in to niche that leads to the other end of the cave and fatty is before the cave entrance. It is harder to explain.

Just finished it, clocked 60 hours in the end.

I'm only about to start a tournament in Scoundrel Haven.

I know this is a sacrilige and all, but is there a way to play Gothic 2 (and this mod in particular) with Xbone controller? I don't have a monitor and table setup anymore.
There are definitely some 3D party programs that map keyboard presses to gamepad, something should be possible for mouse as well.
Anyway, found this. I haven't tried it, but it seems legit.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
So is there any way to actually win the fight with Coyote when you provoke him by insisting on talking to the other guy?
That's the quest where you have to arrange a shipment for the bandits in a swamp cave.

This game is much better than any gothic game story wise it's good till the end. Gothic games always had rushed endings and final acts there are barely any side quests in chapter 5 and 6 in Gothic 1 and 2, Here all the chapters have enough content and side quests and the ending is really good.

Not only that you get ending slides for your choices in quests something that doesent exist in Gothic 1 and 2 which are linear as fuck in the ending chapters.

For me this is a better game than the originals.

Yeah, I just killed them with AoE spells. If you are not a mage you can run away, wait for them to drop aggro and then lure them out one by one.

During my ventures in sewers i started hearing screams of men and women near certain closed gates, is there a secret or a quest there?
The city guard has a side quest or two down there but the screams and stuff are all just a spooky red herring.

You can explore Castle of the the Sons of the wolf earlier, in the corner where wall and mountain connects there is quite large stone, jump on it and then jump on the neighbouring rock shelf, just one jump more and you are on the wall. Then you can sneak around huts and get dragon root that grows near certain sad hidden man.

No need,just go talk to the bar owner and you will get free prostitute.

Also there is some beast growing in certain part of the sewer,won't be surprised if there is some secret thing in there.



Speaking of secrets,behind the cemetery chapel in the city,on the other side of the wall there is an elevated place with fountain or a water fall don't remember exactly,you could move trough it and there is a hidden room with some goodies.

There is random encounter in the swamps with mysterious merchant that wants to sell you "golden antique" chalices he dug up. He says you can sell them in the city for a much better price he sells them for 100 gold and when you check their price in inventory its 1000. I bought 11 of them for 1,1k gold all he had. When I got to town they turned out to be made from basic iron and painted over and are worth 1 gold each. Fucker scammed me for 1,1k gold :lol::lol:

In archolos even more than in the originals everyone tries to jew you out of gold and since gold is much harder to get than in vannila.

One thing I never paid a great deal of attention to (as I always had a million of them in the inventory), but do pickaxes break out in the wild? I know they do in the gold mine.

No, but there's a longstanding gothic bug where any item with a custom animation might disappear when you go to put it back in your pack afterward, so they (along with fishing rods, blacksmith's hammers, etc.) vanish sometimes.

I'm sure I had the reverse happen once or twice. Pretty sure I had a couple of perma potions that didn't disappear after being used.

Scammers everywhere, filthy streets that nobody cleans, southerners plotting, hobos harassing non stop, whores are unfuckable, sickos and serial killers are roming the streets and countryside, refugee policy like in Sweden, they even have their own local Soros with personal army of goons. No wonder protagonist says he is disappointed with Archolos and wants to leave.

Weren't you a fucking pole ???

90% of this thread are poles. :outrage:
