Gothic Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos mod for Gothic 2

[Sjukob]

I don't know what you're talking about, it's obvious that Detlow is the beast. I found his potion pile in the woods before I found any of the bodies, then once I found the bodies the plot rail-roads you into the velociraptor den through cutscenes.

Yeah, I had the same thoughts and the same thing happened to me. Didn't see any option after these events that allowed for alternative outcomes. Got the achievement and everything, but the ending slide was still negative.

You have to confront him AFTER the hunt is over and celebrations are done. Just come to his house in the old town.

 

[Sjukob]

Is it possible to join the hunters in the araxos guild? I've done the same amount of quests for both lieutenants, but I only got offered to join the mercs.

Yes, it's works the same as joining the mercenaries does, complete all of the quests for Garos and then wait for some time, then one of the araxos runners will tell you that Lorenzo has a message for you, go talk to Lorenzo and then Garos to become a hunter. Note that it's absolutely required for you to have bow proficiency of at least 30%, otherwise Garos will not accept you.

Yep, I did. I think it comes down to how I acted during the hunt borking the script that opens up the dialogue options. I didn’t hit enough “true beast” script nodes before getting railroaded by cutscenes into the false conclusion.

 

[Mauman]

Ok....

I'd like to meat the person who got the idea for the mysterious merchant in the swamp.

I'd like to shake their hand......then break all of their teeth in.

May be, I don't know the exact win and failure conditions for the revelation. I've heard that checking on the big cage near Bermar's farm is a foolproof way to complete it, I didn't gather all of the clues during the hunt either, but I checked out the cage while doing the quest for the ghost of a fire mage and I was able to press Detlow into revealing his cards no problem. So I guess it actually works.

I'm playing as pure mage now, so I guess I will not get accepted. Hopefully it does not prevent me from progressing (no spoilers please, except for maybe a yes/no).

 

[Konjad]

For the beast quest, I knew I should have reloaded and tried again. I found the potions, and several other clues but I think i did it in an odd order that broke the scripting for the real reveal.

No, Marvin doesn't get "AHA! So the beast is this and that!" in the forest. Your scripting was fine, you just didn't connect the dots as a player and didn't look further as the game hinted you to.

I don't know what you're talking about, it's obvious that Detlow is the beast. I found his potion pile in the woods before I found any of the bodies, then once I found the bodies the plot rail-roads you into the velociraptor den through cutscenes.

Ah, alright. Then you are correct - you can't reveal it in the forest, only later in the city. I misunderstood you.

 

[Mauman]

Holy shit....

Berter and the cannon in Haven

Spoiler

Getting people to believe that Saul SHOT HIMSELF WITH A FUCKING CANNON

Not to mention how the cannon sent you flying when you shot it.

I had a feeling this wasn't going to end well, but God damn was it hilarious.

edit - also (and this must be a bug), Larry (the guy that Ripper, well, ripped off) is now walking around in his undies. Kinda strange

 

[HoboForEternity]

i lost my main weapon somehow (raven's beak) cannot find it anywhere. can i use marvin mode to insert it? what's the code?

 

[Abu Antar]

I finally started.

I'm now with Riordan to collect herbs in the wood, and he's one shotting everything with fire spells. I'm just collecting exp.

I already believed you guys, but this is Gothic through and through. Love it.

 

[Havoc]

As a Gothic fan, this is a wonderfully done game. Better than G1/2/NotR and better than PB could ever do (a Gothic game). It has its hiccups but overall great.

Is that a G.W. Bush meme with Gomez as Bush in the Gothic engine?

 

[agris]

who are the madmen who are taking the time to script cutscenes like this in the gothic2 engine?! or are they taking the assets and doing it in a more friendly engine environment?

Check the view count.

It depends, the guy who made the Gomez W. Bush video does his work in Blender, but I'd say most people actually do their stuff in game.

i feel like i understand germany so much better now

 

[Abu Antar]

Lol, I hope that the second one didn't spoil stuff. :D

Just in case someone don't know already - araxos trackers armor does not have clobuk/hat/cape/whatever on Garos head, you will see only standard Marvin's head. Don't be me and spend several levels of exp on learing 30 bow in hopes that you will have cool armor with clobuk. Thankfully my build isn't harmed by this, at least for now.

 

[Alphons]

Pathetic.

2-handed and Strength or GTFO.

Exactly, my build had plenty points in two handed (much more than in one-handed) and Adelard was ready to accept me in unit, but for some stupid reason I decided "fuck it, I want cool armor" and went full stupid in bows.

Maybe advance into the ranks nigger? There are at least 2 different armors for trackers.



Here is Marvin wearing hooded armor.

Ah, so there indeed two armors and even higher rank for trackers...
I did some search about armors on different forums, but didn't find definitive anwer on this question. Thanks for clarifying.

You get the hooded armor in chapter 5.

I must say, I'm really impressed with Rahma the Alchemist

Spoiler

She made the stupid dress armor SO bad that she somehow managed to flood the world

I'm still wrapping my mind around this one.

edit - I swam out of the house and the world fixed itself, so I didn't need to reload or anything. Still, what in the God damn FUCK
