After mastering using bows (and special bonuses), you will be able to kill your enemies before they reach you.

Bows and crossbows are very effective weapons (the first ones are quicker and the second ones do more damage).Frankly speaking it's the only effective way when you have to liberate a city (then you have to face more than one hundred warriors). Almost during the whole game you are fighting with large groups of enemies, so there is no shame in retreating to the place where you can heal yourself and prepare for the next opponent. When fighting do not hesitate to run away to the safe place.You don't have to face a Troll or an Ogre to be defeated, even ordinary boar or a wolf can kill you in a few seconds. Do not underestimate any enemy, even looking not nasty. And you have no chance to defeat yourself. I don't know if it's a kind of combo or maybe a bug of the game, but it's certain that you will die more than once in such way: after being hit with first blow, you are constantly beaten until death. Even the weakest monster can kill you with a set of blows, and such situation happens very often. In Gothic III each fight can be the last one. Save your game very often, even before every fight (at least at the beginning of the game.Actually there are three possible ways, one for each main fraction: Rebels, Orcs and Hashishin. In the further part of this solution I give the best way (the quickest one) of finishing the game. Generally it's your choice which way to go, which towns to visit and which quests to solve first, but you have to be aware that there are a few quests having a time limit - they must be done in a few days or even hours.I believe these are quests that were to be included in the game but they were forgotten during the process of Gothic 3 creation. I call them strange cause they can be solved but you never find a person that gives that mission. There are a few strange quests in the guide.There are a lot of problems caused by inadequate order of dialogue and you can't mend it. After that, when meeting a proper NPC you get experience points for nothing! It's quite good system but sometimes it may cause problems: a NPC may not talk to you despite he should give you another quest. For example, when wandering through the wasteland you kill the group of wolves, and then you receive a message that you solved a quest "Wolf hunting with XXX". It's normal in Gothic III that you can solve a quest even before you get it.

And unfortunately there are a lot of bugs that will not let you to talk to some characters (when you should) or you will be ignored even if you have the item needed by NPC. It's very likely that you will not find some characters, because the world is so big that it's so easy to miss some people. Some of them are not accessible when you choose a fraction you want to cooperate with (then the opposite fractions are not going to work with you). It's impossible to do all quests during one game.The main quests (a few of them are solved for almost a whole game) can be found at the end of the guide. All quests listed in the guide are divided in a few groups (one group for one town).Naturally, if it's possible, I try to give some tips making your game easier.Īt the beginning you should learn some clues that help you to understand my tips and game's rules. I only give you information who offers the quest and where it must be solved. That's why I decided only to list all possible quests without going into details. The hugeness of Gothic world and a very large number of quests do not let me to prepare a solution guiding players step by step. At the beginning I have to point that it's not a guide in the classical meaning. Welcome to my guide dedicated to the one of the most expected games - Gothic III.
