Valley of Mines! *Part 2* - Things you didn't know in Gothic 2 (Ep. 4)

Thanks for watching everybody, I really appreciate everyone who watches the video. I'm not here for money of for fame I just really appreciate that I can entertain people who share love for the same video game.

[@rounak3811]

That part when Diego tells you about the past gave me a warm feeling

[@MIRCaliasCena]

It warms my heart to see that people still care about Gothic. Very cool video, you even showed couple of things i didnt knew. I tought that was impossible. Keep up the good work!

[@janodefenua4603]

Yes, it is one of the Best RPG games. Gothic 1 and 2 were ahead of the time and inpired future great games to some degree. I personally Rank G1 and G2 way above elder scrolls games. I still do full play of thoose games yearly and have fun. G3 had wast potential too bet they relased unfinished product, it needed atleast 1-2 years in development. Also i could not run G3 When it came out on High-end tier Gaming computer in that Era, Barely Low-medium settings.And still it stuttered and dropped FPS like crazy. So people with not that good of a PC at that time would barely play it at lowest settings possible with lot of fps drops. That is another point why Game was a Flop. Like Oblivion Elder scrolls i Ran at Max settings on like 30-50FPs with not many issues for example. Basicaly it is a big shame G3 ended this franchise for good. It could have been Big as Elder scrolls and WItcher. Or imagine like Gothic MMO set like 10 years Before the G1, wou would maybe meet our Hero in his Teens haha.

[@ronondex6]

For changing Chapters Just Spawn The Story helper : Activate Marvin Mode Open consol and Type : insert SH That should do the trick By the way great Video ^^

[@ricktac9811]

#16 the old mine and the temple of the sleeper collapsed in Gothic 1. That is why they are abandoned and look like that...

[@Venakis1]

About the last tip, you can easily pull and kill almost all of the orcs around the castle with one speed potion and two rain of fire spells. Just pull them at the ram where they stop attack you and cast the two rain of fire spells. I did that at chapter 4 and went from 31lvl almost 34lvl. I insta killed about 80 orcs and some wargs. There were some orcs left though that they didn't follow me all the way and I walked again one more time around the castle to finish them off with melee fight.

[@ToriToriUwU]

I'm REALLY happy that orcs don't use crossbows in Gothic 2. Projectile dmg is vile in this game, it deals like 4x more DMG than melee attacks, plus it would be really annoying to get into the castle in the old valley

[@Skorpion1991]

1:55 this note teach you about bloodflies venom, it is usefull but forget about that miserable 100xp, it let you eat bloodflies stinger which restore 100%hp, also let you brew mental alteration potion for quest with Fortune and second for yourself (potion give you 250xp per chapter, so if you drink it in 5th you will get 1250xp, 6th chapter - 1500xp

[@razvandamian3286]

Haha, the fire rain one, where you gathered literally every orc you could, I used to do that as well in the past. I love this game, it's probably my first RPG ever, found your channel today and I can't stop watching them. It's funny to see how after a crapton of playthroughs I didn't know about those 2 caves you mentioned in your previous valley videos (the waterfall and the one where you find the dragon snapper scroll). I used to also do the aggro thing the hard way, just gather everyone possible without a potion and get them to the ram and then shoot them one arrow at a time. It was painfully slow and sometimes even took half an hour of shooting, so I'd always buy as many arrows as I could before heading into the Valley. Love your vids, hope you're still making G2 content

[@zzebzik]

Gothic 2 NOTR SPOILER. That extract secretion from bloodfly sting is useful. In Jharkendar in bandit camp there is Fortuno, an old novice from G1. He needs special potion for cleaning his head so he can remember some stuff (about Raven I think). If you make the potion without knowing this skill and just put bloodfly stingers - Fortuno will die after drinking it. With knowing this skill he will recover and you get xp, you can also sell him swampweed palnts for money. (You can also learn this skill for LP from one of the bandits in the swamp but you will need them in more important skills).

[@tyfusstinker3198]

I'm very happy to see that i'm not the only one to keep playing (after all this years) this great game, and also: i'm even happyer to find something new every play. Good videos and, i like to see (and meet) others Gothic-nerd companions! :D P.s. The best way to skip chapter. like i always do, is....play the entire game! Make a save for every chapter and than reload it when you need that particular chapter :P

[@diddymelone2265]

nice video! but that last one with the fire rain ... buddy, I think EVERYBODY has done that at some point :D at least I sure did! it also works well with the addon spell storm, its circle 3 and deals massive AoE dmg! the main downside is its long cast time, so you have to make sure you are in a safe spot when casting. and you will need 2 casts to wipe out most of the orcs. but hell, its amazing and you can do it so early right after the addon content and you wont have to use a rain of fire scroll. fun fact, storm is also the spell I killed most of the dragons with, plus 1-2 skeletons for distraction.

[@laurentiuenculescu9676]

The rain of fire in the valey of mines trick is quite well known so it is not your thing only :) but it can also be applied to the entrance to the valey of mines to kill all the orcs blocking the way from khorinis which can get you a lot of xp at the beginig of act 2 with only 1 scrool and 1 snapper weed or speed potion:)

[@prudiceflc]

nice vid)) playing gothic in 2018 DDD

[@gbogdan3528]

2:53 that is actually gorn's leather bag, if i remember right. It is supposed to help you pay garond to free him

[@Skorpion1991]

true, and Gorn himself telling us that

[@kayn9651]

Note for whoever might still be watching this. At 8:00 or somewhere there, when mentioning the missing Orc Village and the Old Mine. - Remember that during Gothic 1 the old mine was flooded and collapsed so it wouldn't be accessible anymore and the orc village was built on top of the Sleeper's temple which also collapses at the end of G1, so it would make sense that those regions would be caved in and inaccessible.

[@jeflexxd2988]

why did i completely forgot that the old mine was flooded....

[@TheDunestyler]

the returning mod also makes those more or less accessible.

[@zvennn]

Dude! I’ve played this game sooo many times but this video was full of things I’ve never even heard of! :O

[@SixjacksJudge]

in JAKANDHAN you can get nostalgia XP by jamming into the deep chasm, before the canyon into the lake under.

[@aleksandarkostic6180]

hey! big gothic fan here as well fan of your videos. love the content, keep going dude! love the last tip i just did that tip with fire rain and my pc freezed for a sec cause there were too many orcs lol. keep going dude!

[@4michalk]

Aleksandar Kostic I'm glad you're enjoying the videos my friend, and thanks for the encouragement :)

[@BlackSecrit]

Interesting video but I think i knew most of these things :P, the leather satchel from tip 4 belongs to Gorn, if you talk to him in the prison he will tell you about it, also theres a interesting glitch called catapult glitch which we only recently found out works in gothic 2 aswell, also maybe you saw my video, but theres an amulet that spawns near the beginning of the game in chapter and its different depending on which guild you join, opening the gate in the castle is a prerequisite for Torlof to become your captain, also very fun one, orcs and dragons can wear human armor and its quite hilarious, also black ore glitch might be note worthy

[@CESSKAR]

About the #16; I've recently played a patch-mod called 'yet another unofficial patch' which is I would say very good and all BUT it includes all this places you say and filled with enemies; the orc town, the free mine, the orc cemetery, the Brotherhood Camp (now an orc headquarters). And it's the worst thing ever because I feel forced to go there and kill all the enemies when there is no narrative at all behind it. Thus, cutting out those places was the right decision (unless they could have been implemented into the story).

[@cristian-iuliancomorasu8217]

If you go with the Mercenaries, there is a quest to open that door, cool animation too.

[@jonathanniederfeilner8746]

And I'm out here watching this video on 2021 because in replay all the gothic games in this pandemic. Thx for the content!

[@arjed396]

B marvin B > F2 > Insert sh - this command will spawn story helper - he will guide you through chapters

[@jiujiu]

#21 I save all my fire rain scrolls just so I can clear the orcs around the castle in both chapters.

[@kingpintinB]

replaying it still so good

[@Faygris]

Haha awesome, I found the trick with the orcs and the fire rain myself 😁

[@OpossumGeorge]

All your Gothic videos are really awesome! Could you make some videos about behind-the-scene history of Gothic 1-2 creation? There are lots of demo videos and interesting facts, just like unreleased psyonics school of magic or console version of Gothic 1

[@komplaints7893]

I have used that fire rain thing before in Notr, there's a way you can get way more use out of it though - first drink the potion and gather up the orcs you can - then slowly make your way around the castle agro'ing more groups but don't bother trying to get the shamans (they don't follow properly because of the magic attack) if you do it right you can get every mele ork following you in one massive group. Every time you hear some giving up the chase stop for a couple of seconds to get them to re agro (or do a speed running loop back around if they follow too close), that will keep them following. Then when you have your group cast fire rain - once will kill all the warriors as you said BUT THEN switch to STORM spell scroll, gain more distance (for the long cast) and cast that to kill off all the elites giving you far more loot and exp. Its cheaty as hell of course but it works a charm for about 700g worth of supplies, also if you want an easier time just bring 2 fire rain spell scrolls since the cast time is smaller then storm, theres 2 in shops in town (zuris and salandro) and at least 3 in the addon world. I actually shot the footage of me doing this over a year ago but I decided not to bother making the video because I assumed people wouldn't be interested. Good video :-)

[@o-k9267]

Letting the orcs into the castle is a quest, when you ask Torlof (from Onar's farm) to be your captain. I wouln't consider that a tip.

[@holyshit922]

9:50 In one of these orc tents is fire lizard tongue , for those who dont want to bug game on seekers and make fire rain rune on your own

[@regnon9031]

Get yourself a wasteland mod which brings back those missing places in the Valley of Mines :)

[@Andrew85or]

Will those mods work mid game. Maybe go back to Khorinis first, install the mod, and then go back to VOM?

[@regnon9031]

@@Andrew85or It should work mid game as it doesn't affect the story/dialogs but to be sure its better to copy entire game folder elsewhere as a backup or test version of game. Since Gothic doesn't need instalation to work you would have your vanilla game safe without the bother of removing mod in case it doesnt work for you as you need or reinstslling the game entirely.

[@talictdf4757]

I did that Rain of Fire trick in the G2 NotR because you can get the spells very early in it's mad xp if you do it where it counts. I don't thing the scroll is available that early in the original G2 though.

[@tomekkborodo70]

I always was slaying orcs around the castle by luring them all to the trebuchet, then casting fire rain + some freezing novas to finish the orc elites :)

[@V-skeptic]

I've only recently discovered a cave behind the palisade in vom in which killed off versions of NPC's are dumped. Bill, Angar, Gorn and i forgot the 4th one. I found them there in chapter V. I guess it was easier for creators to kill'em off and spawn different ones in island of Khorinis.

[@Kacp3rrak]

That last tip is just *"How to get a crazy amount of levels by using one spell and 0 effort"*

[@woozleweazle6741]

the thing with firerain and the orcs is a meme of chapter 4 :D, and its the only efficient way to kill al this orcs before u get the last armor

[@albertolaurella9168]

what Gothic needs is either a remake or an accessible and comprehensive modlist, man this game needs it.

[@jeflexxd2988]

Perfection doesnt need a remake

[@wenchinatrenchcoat8459]

Your tips are good, but I’m sorry, the last one... i think everyone used fire rain on the orc siege^^

[@janodefenua4603]

That Fire rain is pretty obvious, Probabbly most value you can get outta the scroll in the game. I usualy do it in chapter 2 to gain free Xp/Gold you get if you sell orc weapons etc.

[@hazy-dreams]

Hey do you have a steam acc? Every gothic nerd it's my friend :D

[@Alexandru1996_]

I was doing that trick with killing orcs by fire rain from years ago lol 😂😂 But i was getting all orcs to the wall break where you enter the castel. Next time i will do like you, it seems more efficient 🤔🤔

[@AntonioBarbarian]

Can you make a video on Gothic lore?

[@HalloFrogie]

The way he's talking reminds me of Morty 😄

[@Alexandru1996_]

The 21'st tip, i was doing that from years ago :)) It is the best way to level up in 2nd chapter

[@destodelvita112]

Love this vid man. Been playing gothic for years and years. have some problems with it on steam now unfortunately. But ill get it running :D good work, keep it up!

[@uknw_m45k12]

#13 you have to open the door as a quest if you want torlof to be your captain

[@taldza9359]

#13 is a part of the mercenary faction mission actually

[@jarlfenrir]

10:08 actually I did this a lot in Gothic I when I was playing as a mage.

[@andrejhornak9797]

I don't know why KZbin is recommending me Gothic videos, but God the nostalgia I have.

[@danielnetz5173]

Gothic will never die!!!

[@Sp1rak0Ss]

dude the thing you think as your own with the rain of fire i do it aswell but i have the feeling is the most common trick..

[@luigimaselli9522]

When you take diego in your crew and change clothes, if you immediately tell him to protect the city and then you take him back into the crew, he changes clothes again and stays in his underwear, and the camera follows him as he heads to the ship for quite a while. qualcun'altro conosceva questo easter egg? Anyone else knew this easter egg? it happened to me in my last playthrough, after at least 6 different runs over the years.

[@guynation41]

Ah, memories!

[@MrBricteo]

#21 I use to do the fire rain to unblock the pass since forever. Good tips BTW

[@thywhobalances362]

The only thing I didn't know in this video was that the orcs had a crossbow animation

[@alexgames176]

still watching gothic videos in 2021.

[@insanity8026]

I've actually been using tip #21 for as long as I can remember, its a smart thing to do :D

[@Zalmaxis]

i did the fire rain thing for xp too sooo long ago i dont remember when also drank the speed potion too cuz orcs be fast and since i was playing a magic user i just used a 2nd fire rain to kill everything else the 1st one didnt kill.

[@destodelvita112]

I actually remember taking some days off from work just to play it. and the first day of those i got home... we had a power failure.... ofcourse. XD

[@sicaurzica]

Wow number 10 is just , WOW, never knew that :)

[@fastbyte2235]

Great game, great memories :D

[@arty7926]

I love you. Not even kidding xD

[@sunny_ua]

As I watch these videos, I relize there's nothing in Gothic I didn't know...

[@burrak2621]

10:00 nah i also did the Orc-Gathering/firerain/burn thingy too back in my hardcore gothic times:D

[@maggotsoul6037]

A german KZbinr called handofblood did that trick with the firerain a couple years ago but anyway nice video

[@jacobaarseth5371]

insert sh (story helper) is the cheat code you need

[@azminer7318]

7:35 talk to Brutus

[@karelsebesta2159]

Hey, you don't even have to run around the orcs that much. Just climb one of those pylons and Fire Rain away. Also, have you mentioned anywhere the trick to get all spellcaster's runes using Ice Block spell?

[@1000mjf]

I love gothic 1 and 2

[@dimitriasimov2140]

Instead of 'fire rain' use 'wave of death'. It's the strongest spell ever in the game. Besides Dragons, everything dies, since dragons need this spell to be used 2 times, though 'shrink' works better on them.

[@Dejw07]

6:50 theres also dexterity ring which gives 5 dex in G2 NOTR and i belive 10 in classic G2

[@leonzawodowiec5151]

In what version of Gothic 1 there was a tavern in that ruined tower? I've never seen any bartender or guests there

[@derdork3233]

I too Always thought the ruined Tower looked Like a tavern or a Hangout place for the diggers of the old Camp. But IT was never a tavern as far as i know.

[@rpgmafia8363]

the stach at the crusht Tower is for an Quest.

[@Vertanc]

6:25 in act 4 here stay one orc shaman

[@dhakerdhouib6891]

lol the last one i did it as a mage (wich i didn't like so much) but turned up useful with storm ruin :p

[@SimbaBrank23]

Ha...I'm the coolest dude in the world.

[@MartyKub]

pls make a Gothic 2 The Returning 2.0 gameplay :D you gonna see Gothic in brand new light and its realy worth it :))

[@lobartslayer]

Nice vid man btw how do i get there? 2:17

[@szymon3572]

Insert sh talk to him and chose chapter

[@sicaurzica]

Seems like I didn't find those at nr.17 xD

Jesus what the hell is diegos english voice?? He Sounds nothing Like the German Version. The english voice is terrible. Also opening the Gate of the Castle is required by the mercenary torlof If you want him to be the Captain of the ship near the end of the game

[@jonhjonhathon5142]

When i played gothic 2 his voice was different. it's safe to assume there are at least two voiceovers

[@ForumcoldiArchon]

There is indeed a UK and a US version with different dialects. The UK hero is voiced by the original German VA.

[@Br4Ker]

man, the english voices are horrible.
