Gothic/Glitches

Infinite Food
It might not sound like much, but in Gothic food both restores Life and is also used as a currency of sorts in the bartering system. In other words, with unlimited food you're financially set for life, and you need never fear suffering from wounds again! So what's the secret?


 * 1) Kill a Scavenger or Molerat, very easy prey.
 * 2) Get the Raw Meat.
 * 3) Go to any of the camps and look for a cooking Pan. It's those grey little things stewing over a fire. Now stand in front of it, and it should say "Pan".
 * 4) Open your inventory and select "Raw Meat". Hold the Use button down, and you should crouch before the pan, as if you were going to cook the Raw Meat with it.
 * 5) Do NOT press up or initiate any action, just let go of the Use button. Now look at your inventory again and look at your Raw Meat. It's now double the quantity!
 * 6) Repeat. So if at first you have 1 Raw Meat, after this you will have 2 Raw Meat! Nice. After a while you'll have hundreds then thousands, that should be more than enough to keep you financially and healthily fit for the rest of the game. And if not, just find another frying pan.

It's unclear whether you can exceed 65,000 pieces, since games usually use a Short for these quantities, which lets values go up to some 65,000+. Unlike some games the value will never become negative or roll over to zero. 65,000 should be more than enough, anyway.

Infinite Sword Trick
Another way to get infinite ore (it does require a small amount of ore to set up though).


 * 1) In the old camp go to the blacksmith.
 * 2) Buy some raw steel (40 ore)
 * 3) Smelt it in the fire
 * 4) Hammer it on the anvil
 * 5) Cool it in the water bucket
 * 6) Sharpen it on the grindstone

You should now have a sword, which sells for 50 ore, which is a 10 ore gain.

While holding Ctrl, if you press up repeatedly when doing any of the steps needed to make the sword you may be able to make it to the next step without wasting the previous material. For example, when smelting the steel in the fire, you could have the hot steel and still have the raw steel.

Another way of doing that is to select the item (raw steel, glowing steel or blade) to its corresponding tool (furnace, anvil or grindstone) and just hold Ctrl for a while, then release it, just like the trick with the raw meat.

Swords. Lots of swords
In the chest from the blacksmith in the old camp (RRLRLL) you'll find 20 raw steel and 2 crude swords. Now go to the swamp camp. (Baal Parvez in the old camp can take you) Ask Lester (near the entrance) the way to the smithy. Pick the lock on the chest (LRRLLL) and you will find an axe (32 DMG/12 STR), mandibles of a minecrawler (you can take these to Kor Calom), 27 raw steel and 16 blades. Using the furnace (use+keep tapping up) your raw steel turns into glowing steel, the anvil turns glowing steel into glowing blades, the water bucket turns glowing blades into blades and the grindstone turns blades into crude swords. You now have 65 crude swords that can be sold/bartered for 3250 ore nuggets of value. And you have the axe, which is an excellent starter weapon.

Robbing Gomez
Once you have access to the castle, enter the house of the ore barons during daytime. If you didn't join the old camp, ignore the guards.. they'll give up soon enough. Go upstairs. The room on the left belongs to Gomez, you can't open his chests yet. Opposite Gomez' room there is a bedroom with several chests that are worth the trouble. Right next to Gomez' room though you'll find Bartholo's room. Here you find a chest with a useful amulet (Amulet of Stone Skin, +15 weapon and arrow protection) and a door. Pick the lock on the door to find a hallway with.. another door. Pick the lock and enter the tower. The chests on the second floor of the tower contain goods worth thousands of ore nuggets. Climb all the way to the top for a great view of the colony!

Note: do not do this at night, unless you like being stabbed. Also, don't take the thousands of coins. You'll break your keyboard for nothing if you do.

Fall without taking damage
It is possible to fall from any height without taking any damage. Simply hold left or right strafe and you should land without taking any damage.

Infinite Experience
In the Sleeper's Temple in chapter 5 there is a big room with 3 gates and an area full of holes, you will know that you found the room when you will encounter "Gor Boba" guarding the way at the end of one of the closed gate. After you have managed to shot the targets in the spiky room and opened the second gate in the room you will encounter after passing the gate 3 swiches. In order to proced to the next room you will need to turn the swiches in the right order(The farest one to the door, The closest one to the door, and the one in the middle). However if you turn the swiches in the wrong order a Lasser Demon will apear, in order to make infinte exp turn the swiches in the wrong order as many times as you wish(for example turn the first swich every time) and Lasser Demons will continously be spawned providing you 600 exp infinte times( Be aware to turn again the wrong swich after you have killed the Lasser Demon otherwise more demons will be spawned)

Potions in the Sleeper temple and Orc temple
Sleeper temple: next to the lava lake with the platform elevator in the sleeper temple there are some rooms. The room on the right has an elixer of healing and a healing scroll. However, there are also some potions stuck on the wall. If you use telekinesis on them, they will fall down. Be careful though, they can fall through the floor. On the wall, you'll find an elixer of magic energy (mana bonus +70) and two elixers of life. (maximum life +15 each)

You will at some point encounter a fanatic templar who explains to you how he was made immortal. Open the gate he's guarding, go through and turn right. Cross the minecrawler chasm. On the other side, you'll find a box. It will highlight, but it doesn't have a name, similar to benches. Open it to find a ring of greater invincibility and an essence of strength potion. (+3 strength)

In the orc temple, treat the mummies like chests. They have lots of potions. Use switches to open the locked cells, you will also find some artefacts there. Just before meeting The Sleeper you can also find two rooms with mummies that have useful potions.
