[[Gothic/Magic#Fireball|Fireball]], [[Gothic/Magic#Ice Block|Ice Block]] and [[Gothic/Magic#Fist of Wind|Fist of Wind]] are powerful magic spells. If you encase your foe in an ice block first (rendering them immobile for some time) and hit them with a fireball after that, you can defeat many very powerful foes you'd otherwise have no chance defeating without massively increasing your strength and/or dexterity. Also, with Ice Block, you can freeze enemies you can't defeat and leisurely walk past them. | [[Gothic/Magic#Fireball|Fireball]], [[Gothic/Magic#Ice Block|Ice Block]] and [[Gothic/Magic#Fist of Wind|Fist of Wind]] are powerful magic spells.

Two-handed weapons: Lee's axe (105 damage/95 strength), Torlof's axe (99 damage, 85 strength) and Orik's axe. (95 damage, 90 strength) If you plan on joining the new camp, you should perhaps not get this one. If you join the new camp and kill Lee, you won't be able to become a mercenary and won't be able to get training with two-handed weapons. Also, these weapons require '''a lot''' of strength. Sure you can obtain any of them easily shortly after arrival in the new camp, but what would you do with it? | Two-handed weapons: Lee's axe (105 damage/95 strength), Torlof's axe (99 damage, 85 strength) and Orik's axe.

===Orc hammer=== | ===Orc hammer=== | ||
Single-handed weapon, 50 damage and requires 22 strength. Particularly useful against skeletons, skeleton mages and stone golems who are all more vulnerable to hammers. You need either a sprint potion ([[#Robbing Gomez|Robbing Gomez]]) or defeat 4 bloodhounds, your choice. Even with the potion it's not easy.

(or defeat the bloodhounds) There will be a cave with a door on your right. The bloodhounds can't get in there. Loot the place and if you already have a teleport rune, just teleport out of there. Otherwise, go back the way you came, maybe jump off of the bridge so you don't have to run around the orcs again. | ||
