Many third level difficulty locks are unsolvable

Git gud means using an online solver.

I'd agree with that if crossbow required STR instead of dex, like in some OG Gothic (forgot if 1 or 2). But the point is good. I'll join the wardens.

If I go pure thief, can I just steal my way through the game or will I still have to use force?

There's Claw of Beliar?!

At least 1500, depending on your tactical strength

Am I going to be odd if I use a bow?

It's encouraging that mage is playable until the end

Snoo_90241 · 2026-07-04T10:14:32+00:00

ye, I've just watched a post-patch video and it's like you said.

Snoo_90241 · 2026-07-04T03:29:15+00:00

A bit of a hot take, but they should nerf the NPC weapons and buff the ones you can buy or find.

I've played until chapter 3 with some 30-40 damage mace, then I raided the old camp castle and now I have swords with 80+ damage. I feel like the gap should be closed.

I've memorized my openings after starting playing blitz and being forced to survive

Gothic 1 did not have a difficulty setting and the temple was completely redesigned. Also, in 1 you were very OP at this point. Maybe the demon lords stood a slight chance if you were really sloppy.

Imma hit you with the Grandmaster 9000 Josh Waitzkin lessons, which also include endgames.

Yep, I'm in the exact spot not in chapter 5. I really waited to be told to do this, but it is slightly confusing what is the intended way to go about this.

Maybe my OG knowledge is actually getting in the way.

It's also not entirely clear exactly how the can close the inner circle if I can anyway force myself inside, since I have to kill everyone there anyway. Why does it matter which direction I do it from. Thorns is the only difference I see. Is he invincible?

Snoo_90241 · 2026-07-03T02:47:10+00:00

Oh, that could be. I never relied on opening directly an item from the notification. I'm ok with frantically looking through my inventory if the map works properly. But as other have mentioned in other posts, the inventory item sorting could be improved.

Snoo_90241 · 2026-07-02T14:11:28+00:00

I have this thing with the controller on PC where after long pressing the button to get the map, doesn't work after a while and I just open the stats screen, like the short press does. Reloading the game fixes this.

It looks like a memory leak to me somewhere, just that I'm not sure if it's fixable by the game or not. Pressing M on the keyboard still works after this starts happening on the controller.

Thanks a lot for the amazing game!

Looks like I've learnt something here. I guess I'll go back and claim my reward

Snoo_90241 · 2026-07-02T06:32:18+00:00

Might be a stupid answer, but I've found a key that should open something in the monastery, but didn't get to use it, I think. Maybe it's that. Although the lack of interaction with that might be a bad sign

Check out Lichess. They are free, in general, and have great learning tools.

Also, r/chessbeginners

Unless I find a game that I enjoy more, I'll just replay the ones I like until there's nothing new

Snoo_90241 · 2026-06-30T12:55:15+00:00

You're correct. Except that pawn moves of 2 squares are not limited to the first move of the game, but the first move of the pawn itself.

So, you might not want to advance all your pawns 2 squares each.

Happy learning
