The closest Beliar Shrine is at Kap Dun, not Trelis

There is Beliar's statue next to the Cape Dun gate and its closer than Trelis

This is a great video. I am an old fan that replays this game like once every year, but it is always a pleasure to see a well done guide like this.

Damn its rare to see english video's about Gothic series

There's a shrine to Beliar in the forest north of the road just outside Cape Dun. The best way to play a mage is: get AK to 250, learn Mana Regen, win. You should only learn one attack spell and raise your mana to 120 (so that you can cast 2 fully charged basic attack spells for every mana potion you drink) and you shouldn't invest in any other skill until you get mana regen. Buy tablets from collectors and read books to help with this, it is entirely possible to get 250 AK by the level 10 if you're lucky with vendors (or abuse save/load before talking to them), and 250 AK by level 20 should be entirely doable without that much of a hassle. Just do quests and put all your points to AK. After you get mana regeneration, you win the game. If you use alternate balancing, you only need 200AK, but the skill itself will cost you way more and you'll need to invest in mana to make your mana regenerate faster, without alternate balancing, all you need is that 120 mana, 250AK, mana regen and you can pretty much destroy everything the game has to offer with little to no challenge.

So quick mage advice: You dont really need stamina at all And you need less hp than a melee fighter But because mages suck at the start you will fight a lot melee. Dont get a lot of spells, because you will only use the key effectiv ones anyway...for the rest there are scrolls. I would get: Fireball, ice lance, summon golem, ice explosion, meteor or fire ring, and maybe fire rain. Timebubble can be nice too. Learn water or fire mage or both. From my experience: Summon golem>summon demon, because the demon is too big to go through doors and blocks you from shooting fireballs at the opponent too much. Staffs really suck...dont use them. The good magic staffs with nice skills can only be obtained at the end of the game and by that time you already have the skills. Learn sword with shield. The def bonus of the shield even applies when you carry it on the back and the same applies for sword bonuses. Like the element sword mana bonus.

Hello everyone! I'm alive! :) I haven't realized how much recognition this guide would get! It's been quite a long time since I have posted anything, so I wasn't extremely engaged in the Gothic community. I see all of your comments and appreciate every single one. I actually have 3 scripts written for some videos, however due to some technical issues I am unable to record the needed footage for the said videos. (I will eventually figure it out.) In my personal life I'm going through college application process as of now and it's a little hard to balance some things, therefore I don't want to promise anything I can't accomplish. All I know is this engagement that the Gothic community has is quite spectacular and I am extremely proud to have been able to provide some content and be an entertainer for you guys. Thank you, Wenston Hyre.

1:44 It's closer to Cape Dun than Trelis ;)

If you want to play as a mage and it's not your first playthrough, look up the Gothic 3 water mage guide. it works great and it's basically a "run around the map collecting AK points and get mana regeneration at level 1 basically" then you return to Ardea and start the game :) It's down right OP so do this after you've safely and legit played through the game at least once.

damn, gothic 3 is the only game, that look better and more nostalgic with lower graphic, than with the highest.

Thanks for the video, it's quite useful.

2 things I'd add: 1. one of the most op spells (in terms of requirements, mana cost, and effect) most people forget/never think about is fog. cast it to create an impenetrable barrier around you, nothing can move into its aoe so you're free to walk a step closer and go for fire/ice wave or explosion. archers usually can't hit you either but some occasionally bug and continue to shoot; just take those ones out first and you're golden. 2. most op end game mage strategy imo: army of darkness and ice explosion. the hammerclan mine is a pathetic joke with just those two. yeet a fireball to engage in combat, summon, let chaos commence, throw in an explosion every once in a while. rinse and repeat once your army is weakened/scattered. you can walk aroun the back of the battlefield taking out mages if a few melee enemies bunch up, walk over and let them fly. it actually makes you feel like the avatar of beliar and like the grind was worth it

Best thumbnail ever 😂😂😂 I love it, for real.

This was nice. Thanks!

Also it would be good idea to point the cloesest place where you can learn Adanos spell which is at druid Porgan. He can teach you how to summon golem and that can be useful as hell at the begining.

Healing spell is the best part of mana regen since you also now have infinite health

Thank you for the video! You should do playthroughs!

nice to see this game making a comeback. grew up on that one, no one then seemed to have an interest.

You can also learn alchemiy from the fire mage in redock

1:45 this has propably already been said, but I believe there is a Beliar Statue near Kap Dun

If u you dont want to hate yourself playing mage, get the "Magic Mod" that reduces the cast time of all the big spells (like Flame Wave, Word spells, time bubble) and spells like Fire Rain are now cast on a enemey instead on you (so you have a chance of casting it from afar without being interrupted). Without the mod, 50% of all spells are useless because you will never get them off, because a single crossbow bolt or molerat will interrupt your casting.

When i was ending gothic 3, my fireball was an assault rifle and my Rain of fire can be used 6 Times!

Nice video bro! Hope you make more videos :)

The frustrating thing about Gothic 3 is the coolest spells are locked behind an end game choice. Time bubble is one of the most enjoyable spells ever to play around with, but most players will never experience it. It's so amazing during a city battle to cast time bubble on a gateway and then start dropping flame wave after flame wave as they try coming out.

Few advices Buy staff from Narkan in Gotha Go to Vengard for mana regeneration and mage robe First five levels invest in ancient knowlege then learn quickly fe from Sebastian and fireball fom Innos shrine in Ardea then Ancient knowledge to 250 After 250 Ancient knowledge use stone tablets and lecterns

1: uninstall Gothic 3 2: install Gothic 1 & 2 3: profit.

i appreciate the editing skills! other than that, nothing new for me xD

i didnt know about that mana regen thingy

Mage with a bow. What a COMBINATION.

Nice video

Cool Video :D well done

Can u get the summons skeletons at the beginning of gotchic3?

Closest statue of Beliar is near Cape Dun

I would say this guide is mainly suitable for CP 1.74 and below. 1.75 yeah I guess, but your AK has to be above 400 to be considered OP and it's not worth the grind. For those on the CP 1.75 patch for the game. Just grind to 250 ak to get mana regen and that's really all you need. Get learn quickly as well that's of course the best perk you can get IMO.

i know this vid is old but the closest beliar statue is at kap dun

One thing I always asked my myself why they had magical staffs in the game if you could not shoot magic from it. Staffs indeed and unfortunately sucks. For mage beginners I always suggest Fireball and IceSpear. Although the most powerful spells in game would be Firerain and Army of Darkness

Hey guys, do you know where to get staffs?

Maybe you should Mention some Breakpoints like having 375 Ancient Knowlegede + Fire Mage Perk on Easy to 1 Shot Normal Orcs, Skeletons, Zombies, Snapper, and other Creatures which grant +200 xp and below, you will also 2shot everything else except for 500+ XP creatures (where you should charge your Fireball) . On normal difficulty it should be 750 AK and on Hard 1500 (which you really cant get but maybe 750). On Alt. Balance the Mana regeneration scales with your current max. Mana if i remember so if you have 200 Mana you should get 2 Mana/s, without you get straight 5 Mana/s .. wich is very powerful .. on my 100% Speedrun i just try to get this Perk asap. because it will speedup the entire game.

I have gothic 3 on steam but I can’t move , the keyboard it’s not working. Can you help me please?

the closest shrine of beliar is in Cape Dun.

I think the AK thing was poorly made, my mage had 842 AK and still couldn't 1 shot a bison or a sandcrawler with a normal attack. For example an uncharged fireball / ice lance (without holding down left click).

wow, the unpatched Gothic runs way better

Are you really brave enough to play the vanilla version of the game? Or is this already community patched?

Best rpg game :)

my question would be if its smart to start putting points into mage stuff even though you are lvl 50 and put almost all your points into dexterity until now

How can I use the fire balls, I bought the spell but I dont know how to put it in the inventory

How to kill hard?

Should i learn hunting skills to get throphies?

Once your learn mana regeneration as a mage, the game is basically over lol.

Do a walktrough of any Gothic game of your choice. I would watch even tho I know everything, but your voice is good and interesting lol. We need to spread Gothic to english speaking people more! 😎

Here's how to play a mage: Get a basic damage spell and mana regeneration. Divide the rest of your points between Health and AK. You win the game. With alternative balancing it's a bit different, because you'll want to invest in Mana as well to increase the effectiveness of your mana regeneration, but otherwise it's the same thing. All you really need is mana regen and the basic damage spell, such as fireball or lightning bolt. Don't waste a single point in ANYTHING else (except to get your basic damage spell) before you have gotten both learn quickly and mana regeneration. Absolutely don't waste a single second with anything that has to do with melee.

KNAWLEDGE

Fireball + mana regeneration = IDDQD +IDKFA :)

Make a new players guide plz

High graphics, no lag? Tell me your secret.

Who is army of darkness teacher?

This is the best rpg ever! I never complete the game.I played 3-4 time and still cant complete but still its soooo gooood!

Rush firestorm enyoy

Water mage = druid

who the fu*k need to only a Mage Build? :D in gothic 3 you can be everything in one. because you can lesen everything 😅

If you get confused on how to be a mage in G3, then there's something seriously wrong with you. It's the worlds simplest goddamn game mechanically, and mage is the easiest goddamn character to play in it.

Most useless guide ever. And overall wrong. Mage is the easiest Class of them all. Learn one spell and use it for 80% for the rest of the game. Done. Archery and Swordmanship is much harder.
