This is probably the best guide out there for Gothic 2. It would be great to see other builds as well.

[@dmitriykholodkov5861]

Guide not only effective but pleasant to play without prolonged suffering. Excellent.

I played this when i was just 10 years old, i'm 28 now and this video just bring me back to the good old days. Very good video man. Keep it up!

[@NAMELESSINTERNETADDICT]

Same here,man. I nuked my old steam account a few years ago. I did't miss most games,but this one made me return to gaming.

[@francescopiu5258]

I don't understand how paladins can lose the war with that power and strenght.

[@Schnitzel080690]

Xardas did an Oooopsie to rune magic. also going out of mana because you are outnumbered around 500 to 1

[@TheOne-lc2fz]

Sound like a nice build! I can provide a few recommendations for the new players from my side: 1.) You can equip "Rod's sword" instead the "Rusty axe". It requires 10 less str and provides 40 dmg as well. But it has far better length, which could help to attack from distance and save healing potions -> save more money at the start of the game. 2.) I would recommend cleaning "The valley of Mine" in chapter 2/3. At least orc siege around the castle, or orcs/lizard man. As some of them will respawn in chapter 4

[@Cheveliery]

@@TheOne-lc2fz Honestly I choose to avoid Rod's Sword due to it being a sword. Fighter moveset is more suitable to axes/hammers. Besides we got Halberd before getting to Onar's farm which is superior. About Valley of Mines. Killing Orcs in Chapter II doesn't make any more respawns than it should. Yet again, more immersion focused approach. Both options obviously are viable though

-Dragonroot #1 Xardas Tower 1:03 -Belt +5 STR Xardas Tower 1:06 -Goblin Berries #1 Xardas Tower 1:08 -Burn the rat, keep the wolfs in case skinning, or don’t 1:18 -Lester 1:21 -Burn the Goblins 1:26 1:34 Actually I would recommend Rod’s (The Mercenary) Sword. 30 STR required, but longer with same Damage. You can return it a bit later. Suit yourself. -Goblins Berries #2 Near Stones at Lobart farm (between King's Sorrel and Stones) 2:03 -Burn the wolfs 2:09 +500 Exp Guide (one of the possibilities) 2:15 -To Sexy😂 2:40 -3:10 Better take this quest directly from Hakon or you risk to lose 100 gold if you not experienced. Otherwise - OK. -Elixir of +3 STR #1 3:31 in the Ship's Hold. Be careful with patrol on main deck. They might see you downstairs. 3:49 Well since there almost no where to use Sleep Spell - OK. But I prefer to jump from back yard. 4:01 There few notes about luring: 4:05 if you trigger wolf first and run in the cave with Orc Lares will follow and help you out without need of luring Orc or risk that Lares run to far. So wolf run for you. Lares run for wolf and you run in the cave. -King's Sorrel #1 Near turn and "ladder" 4:10 When Lares wil stop to speak with you do not tell him to go on. He will stay at the place fixed. And you can lure monsters. Near first Kings Sorrel Lares Makes first stop. You do not rush him and go down to lure 7 Wargs and 1 Shadowbeast in the down walley near town. It isn't easy so save few slot's before. When monsters dead go on with Lares. Use this trick every stop to think whom you might lure. Those places where Lares starts dialogues he will remain no matter how far you run away. -Stone Tablet of Magic I #1 - 4:25 -Dragonroot #2 4:26 Mage Exam Stone golem spawn. Make sure grab sword and Ice Block spell scroll 4:33 When Lares busy with monsters you can run inside and lure all the skeleton goblins. Just run outside jumping left side to avoid final dialogue. Make more saves and practice. You also can lure a few goblins from cave an trigger Lares on them, then run back to cave and make Lares clean it. 4:55 Search tent and vicinities for skins and bow etc. -Stone tablet of Crossbow I 5:00 -Old Stone Tablet#1 5:14 in the Maya pool -5:28 I recommend do this at Chapter 2. Because at chapter 2 in the forest you can find few skeletons 5:37 PAUSE. Skeletons will be right at the place covered by our axe in the inventory. So what? Here is the thing. You trigger those skeletons and make sure Lares attack them. Then you run an the place of their essential position and staying alive while Lares killing them. Make sure Lares close to their spawn position. When he deals with them he will NOT get back to the old route. He will find new pass through WARGS 6:22. Important. Sometimes wargs in such bad positioning that he triggers only one small group. “Help him out” to take them all. Also you can try to lure 2 or 3 Wargs from little bit higher land from behind. -Kings sorrel #2 6:35 -Kings sorrel #3 6:35 Wait a bit))) Stone circle 6:40 I prefer put in jail Nagur 8:43 in the port tavern under any circumstances (because if you deliver Package from Akil you can buy 10 apples + Lord Andre reward. Then Kill Atilla 9:31. Last 2 times I killed him with summon wolf spell, but citizens might interrupt. And another time by climbing on Halvor hut. While he e was thinking I start to shoot with a bow. And step by step he easily died. He has 30 STR crossbow that we can use. - Dragonroot #3 6:42 Dark forest pass to stones 7:04 if you go to Onar’s farm at night you can activate stone circle at Sekob’s farm an lure “golem” to Lares. At night he will not kill farmers. -Goblin berries #3 7:05 Next to Dead Harpy Tavern 7:18 A bit better crossbow can “solve” the cave. But why not. Alright. -Goblin berries #4 7:25 goblins case with Greg staff -Old tablet #2 Way to Monastery 7:35 7:36 trigger plants -Dragonroot #4 Town gate 7:41 -Goblin berries #5 7:44 next to Dragonroot#4 -Kings sorrel #4 7:57 on top next to hunter on… top…😅 -Kings sorrel #5 8:00 on top of Shadowbeast… top on the top of the top by the top😂 top top top😊😅 -Dragonroot #5 The Lighthouse of Jack 8:12 8:18 not as good as 2:40😂 -Goblin berries #6 9:02 Akil’s farm 9:41 I did’t know that… is there a day when all secrets will be reviled? Last time I drop my jaws when a Girl showed me that if you! lets say as a Warg (use scroll) kill any warg it the group the rest Wargs will follow you an support you. I haven’t ever seen something like this in a life! Who!? How!? I am amazed. Check next comment for more

10:04 if you keep thefts you will have to buy amulet from Erol 4:19 after you give him 3 Old stone tablets and find him at home or Early run in the Valley of mins transformed into the (scavenger or above, wolf, but not rat) and run in the swamp grab the amulet an immediately teleport out of there. -Elixir of DEX #1 Thief’s guild 10:07 -Dragonroot #6 Erol’s hut 10:36 Buster position. -Elixir of DEX #2 10:42 Field riders and Fletcher’s beat up cave -Tablet of STR+2 #1 10:47 -Thekla’s stew +1 STR 11:20 For beating Bullco -Dragonroot #7 11:37 Ladder to Bengar’s farm -Old stone tablet #3 Onar’s farm chapel 12:01 -Dragonroot #8 12:10 Trolls or Dexter -Kings sorrel #6 12:14 Trolls 12:41 I know that some versions of the game DON’T LVL UP as a beast. All EXP collecting and when you transform back to human you kill meatbug or any EXP gain and you lvl up every time and get HP until hoarding EXP equal to Lvl. I don’t know how it support to be. Back in the day I had licensed CD’s of the game. And as far as I remember everything was working like in the video. Makes sense. You buy Dragonsnapper scroll in the beginning of the game and destroy half of the island but without HP bonus by lvl up… 12:47 actually great place for fire rain scroll after 3 chest triggering, but you need 6 fireball scrolls at first for first 3 skeletons. -Stone tablet of magic II +4 MANA 12:50 Crypt behind Onar’s farm -Kings sorrel #7 12:51 Same Crypt -Stone tablet of magic III +6 MANA 12:53 -Kings sorrel #8 12:57 cemetery near Sekob’s farm -Goblin berries #7 13:18 Dark forest, watch -Dragonroot #9 13:26 Dark forest -Kings sorrel #9 13:33 back to Lobart stones 13:42 We give Erol all our 3 Old stone tablets instead. 25 left in the world but 0 in our inventory. 13:58 you better make sure to spent 1 LP on any potion if you want to be smith or hunter because under some circumstances Constantino loses dialog about study alchemy. So you better visit him already knowing simple potion to receive his agreement on study. I don’t know for sure under what circumstances his dialog disappears, but It happens to me recently. So be careful. Maybe because I joined mercenaries before his promise to study alchemy. I’m not sure. BUT BEING ALCHEMIST STUDENT IS FINE 14:15 Hey! How about 2 stone tablets on the island!? I don’t remember which one they are😮 -Elixir +3 STR #2 buy from Zuris in chapter 2 15:00 15:14 Don’t forget rune of teleport. 15:35 Nice. But a bit later I recommend transform into wolf or something and steal sword from lizard man’s and fire golem next to volcano. Rune Power I guess! 115/115 but longer. Or even better, use speed potion, grab it, and run.😊 16:00 Belt +10 STR Crossbow and Armor. 17:02 Ring +5 Dex 18:34 Stone tablet of DEX +2 18:50 Old Stone tablet (2) It took me some time to figure out where we took the first, but turns out it was here 0:54 18:52 Stone tablet of MANA II 19:00 Stone tablet of MANA I 20:16 Amulet +10 DEX for Militia or +40 HP for Merc or +10 MANA +30 HP for Mage. -Goblin berries (8) 20:55 -Old stone tablet (3) 20:58 -Tablet of STR I same place

Really nice video. I like your approach of going through how you spent your LP and when you do it, and I especially like that this build seems fun to play from the get go, not from third or fourth chapter. Nice work!

[@TheSharpmarksman]

I love these types of guides, they're somewhat serious and memeing at the same time

[@NAMELESSINTERNETADDICT]

33:49 There is a way to get that armor in g1. Find a guard that has it,drop some weapon on the ground close to him,use the control scroll on him,pick up the weapon to unlock his inventory and open up his inventory and drop the armor and whatever else he has in his inventory. Its kinda of a glitch,but whatever...

[@Cheveliery]

Look at that. Will give it a go next G1 playthrough. Innos knows we deserve that armour

[@NAMELESSINTERNETADDICT]

@@Cheveliery dont do it to any npc that is standing guard,they are locked into that position and you will need to go marvin mode to unlock them. Do it to some guard that is walking around.

[@NarutoIIPrayer]

[@Rhamirezz85]

Level 19 with those stats?? That is some super well optimized build! Hats off!

[@NAMELESSINTERNETADDICT]

There is a pick-axe behind the windmill in Lobart's farm. Its a decent first two handed weapon too. The sacred hammer deals like 60 dmg. I usually go for that after the pick axe.

[@napalmcz]

Make another one dude... G1 or even G3. It's great.

[@sorinsandru4484]

How you managed 220 strength?

[@originalniM2]

@@sorinsandru4484 with 94 strenght I drank all strenght potions, red all stone plates and etc. Then I finished chapter 5 with 36lvl. I was able to do 2 potions from dragons eggs(20eggs) I used +10str belt. In the end I had 220 streght… also there is one dragon root near the chamber with ork leader

This is the kind of power gaming that I love. Unfortunately, it offers less replay-ability, because whenever you start a new playthrough you always know at the back of your mind that you have done a more optimized run.

[@paueru-chan918]

You nailed it my dude. This build is amazing and the game knowledge. You played the game like it is supposed to be if you want to be the hero. The only thing I don't like about this vid is the English dubbing. Compared to Polish, German or Russian it just sucks :D

[@NAMELESSINTERNETADDICT]

I learned English by basically listening to KZbin and playing this game dozens of times. This dub sounds good to me.

[@ismaylbayraml775]

I agree with Polish and German one but I think Russian dub is by far the worst one

[@Br4Ker]

you dont need to use the sleep spell for the guard, you can jump on Thorben`s cupboard, climb on the roof, jump over onto the roof of Mateo's house and then enter the storage from there.

[@Br4Ker]

also I used diego to clear out almost all orks :)

[@Cheveliery]

@@Br4Ker if I ever do another, will try to show alternative. Was trying to keep it immersive (dialog with Lares advices such practice). For similar reasons I avoided fighting Orcs with Diego. More fun with the Runes in Chapter V

[@NAMELESSINTERNETADDICT]

Pretty balanced build. You can deal high damage with a sword,crossbow and magic.

[@NAMELESSINTERNETADDICT]

I wish we had all paladins runes from vanilla G2 in the NOTR expansion.

[@eatberries3173]

great vid, shame you didnt show the endgame island

[@Cheveliery]

Sadly I find Chapther VI to be just a chore. There isn't really much upgrading you can do there and honestly I am speedrunning it without distributing any more LPs. Build realistically achives its endgame potential around level 35-41 still leaving a lot of content to do afterwards

[@eatberries3173]

[@swoldier32]

Hey Man, nice Video! When you say to put 24 points into strength and 2H. Do you mean to Level to 24 points or putting in the 24 points? Because that isn‘t possible with the amount of LP you get.

[@Cheveliery]

Hey! Generally I mean to use this amount of LP. It also doesn't mean that you should have level 5 already. Strength is more important and right after you put next 24 LP into 2H. Not necessarily straight away but when you finally have it. There is also link in my other comment with detailed LP investment

[@Alexandru1996_]

Won't it be more optimal to get to 29 strength and than get 5 more points up to 34 in one go for just 5 more learning points? It also works with dexterity and with weapon skills. Might be a bug though. Or a feature. Another mention i would like to make is about prayers, why get 5 strength from innos early on? I prefere to use up all the bonuses only when i am far into the game and all skills cost like 4 learning points per increased point. It is a prety good strategy guide though.

[@Cheveliery]

@@Alexandru1996_ utilising 29+5 strategy is obviously in place. There is a certain amount of Strength for LP you want, after that using any bonuses is in the menu. Check pinned comment

[@guthak10movie8]

I don't get the part at 3:50 - 4:00 from where did you get 40 strength to wield first axe and another 24 lp for 2h weapons?

[@Cheveliery]

@@guthak10movie8 You get 34 Strength after 24 LP, you are free to drink Elixir from the ship and start praying. With base belt you are easily over 40 Strength. About getting 24 LP into 2H, I didn't.

Apparently you aren't the brightest and have no clue how learning attributes and distributing bonuses works. In order to provide you required education I will answer. Simply because there will be no more LP investment into Strenght and every bonus is a fair game since then.
