Gothic II/Khorinis

Canthar's Favor
Whether you accepted Canthar's offer or not, he will now proceed to blackmail you as soon as you come within vocal range. He will demand that you get Sarah the weapon merchant arrested.

To do that, start trading with her and "sell" her the incriminating paper. After that, go to lord Andre and pocket the bounty. Canthar will give you a weapon and this is the end.

Of course you can also get Canthar arrested just by talking to Andre. Sarah will also give you a weapon, however in chapter 3 Canthar returns from jail and makes all merchants hostile towards you. You can reverse that by giving him 500 gold. Or you can kill Canthar before chapter 3 by attacking him in his jail cell and luring him away from eyewitnesses (strangely nobody will mind him leaving the prison).

If you meat him with *your* farmer clothes he takes you as a farmer and asks you how is work. If you tell that you cant complain he wont take you as a convict so you dont need to do dirty things for him nor pay 500 gold coins in chapter 3 for a nonsense

Information for Garvell
Garvell is the paranoid boat builder. You can obtain the first two bits of information he needs by giving beer to Ragnar the militiaman by the gallows. You get the final piece of information from Lord Hagen once you agree to go to the Valley of mines.

The Experiment
Ignaz the alchemist has a hut behing Matteo's shop. Accept to perform the experiment and he will give you a scroll.

If you do a little research, you find out that the ideal target is Valentino from the upper quarter. He spend most of the night in the tavern near the temple and leaves at 4 in the morning. You can beat him up behind Bosper's shop. Once you do that, use the spell and return to Ignaz.

You should also talk to Regis. He will give you a ring that you can pass on to Coragon the innkeeper.
