What if you had runes that didn't require a magic circle, only mana, like spell scrolls? Well, those exist (and not just the teleportation runes), and once you know about it, they're not even that hard to get! This isn't ''too'' well known, this StrategyWiki writer discovered this independently. (though it was already known, at least to speedrunners) | What if you had runes that didn't require a magic circle, only mana, like spell scrolls?

# Go to the new camp. If you just started a new game, use a [[#Swords. Lots of swords|get-rich-quick scheme]], you'll need something to barter with. The crude swords you can make in the old camp are sufficient. You need 600 ore or 1200 ore worth of goods.

# Go to Cronos. Buy 8 ice bolt spell scrolls (cost 50 ore each) and the ring of Magic Power. (+10 mana, cost 200 ore) If you can't afford the ring, increase your max mana to at least 13 some other way.

# [[File:Gothic how to evade the orc before the citadel.png|thumb|How to evade the orc before the citadel]] Go to the old camp south entrance. Follow the path away from the camp and meet Pacho who will warn you about the orc land. Continue down the path. When you see some orc dogs in the distance, there will be a rock formation on your left that you can climb. Climb all the way to the top. Near the summit you'll encounter an orc hunter. Look around the corner, when the orc notices you, allow him to come a little closer to you. This will make it easier to get past him as you won't be passing him in the narrowest part of the path. Run/bunnyhop past the orc and keep going. | # [[File:Gothic how to evade the orc before the citadel.png|thumb|How to evade the orc before the citadel]] Go to the old camp south entrance.

* Go to {{Gothic/NPC|Cronos}}. Buy the following: at least 5 {{Gothic/item|ITARSCROLLTHUNDERBOLT}} and both {{Gothic/item|ITARSCROLLICECUBE}}s. Also get his {{Gothic/item|RING_DER_MAGIE}}, {{Gothic/item|RING_DES_GESCHICKS}} and {{Gothic/item|STAERKERING}}. Also make sure you have some {{Gothic/item|ITMINUGGET}}s, 20 should be enough. | * Go to {{Gothic/NPC|Cronos}}.

* Now for the meat of the strategy.. the frozen meat. Go back to the old camp. Find {{Gothic/NPC|GRD_233_BLOODWYN}} and pay protection money. He'll be patrolling usually somewhere near the main entrance. (this is probably not strictly needed, but better safe than sorry) Now find Jackal. He'll be patrolling somewhere around the marketplace.

Particularly useful against {{Gothic/NPC|SKELETON}}s, {{Gothic/NPC|SKELETONMAGE}}s and {{Gothic/NPC|STONEGOLEM}}s who are all more vulnerable to hammers. You need either a {{Gothic/item|ITFO_POTION_HASTE_01|sprint potion}} (try [[#Robbing Gomez|Robbing Gomez]]) or defeat 4 {{Gothic/NPC|BLOODHOUND}}s, your choice. Even with the potion it's not easy. Follow the instructions for [[#Fireball, Ice Block and Fist of Wind runes, no magic circle required|free magic]] but cross the bridge. Take the sprint potion. (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. | Particularly useful against {{Gothic/NPC|SKELETON}}s, {{Gothic/NPC|SKELETONMAGE}}s and {{Gothic/NPC|STONEGOLEM}}s who are all more vulnerable to hammers.

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 {{Gothic/item|ITMW_1H_AXE_01}}. Here you can also [[#Swords. Lots of swords|get rich quick]]. | Go to the swamp camp.
