DOCUMENTS (BOOKS, MAPS, SCROLLS)
• All the written items are stored here. Some books are very helpful in
destroying enemies, others have background information to help you in
other areas.
MISCELLANEOUS
• Ore, Keys, torches and all sorts of stuff to trade with are stored here.
KEYS
• You can open doors and chests either with the correct key or by picking
the lock. Those who have not learnt the skill will need a lot of picks, how-
ever, they will break as soon as they are turned the wrong way.
TORCHES
• Use with CTRL up. Drop with space.
TRADING
• If you meet people who you can trade with there will be an option in their
dialogue to “show me your wares”. When you choose this you will see your
inventory on the right and his on the left.
• Move between and in the inventories using the arrow keys.
• In the middle of the screen you will see the actual items you choose to
trade with. To move an object into or out of the “Selling” place use the
CTRL and arrow left/right keys. Above the inventories is the cost of the
items in the selling place. You will notice that the amount changes. Simply
match your amount with his and press return.
MAGIC
To be able to use magic you will need mana. This is the energy mages receive
ARTIFACTS
• There are magical rings and talismans to be found in Gothic. If you wear
them they will enhance your skills or talents. Try and find the right combi-
nation as you can only wear one talisman and two rings.
FOOD
• Some revive your energy, some your mana. Just pick up everything and
read the description in your inventory to decide which you need.
POTIONS
• This is where you will find all types of potions: energy and mana can be
replenished with these (greater effect than food). You will also find special
potions along the way that can be of permanent use.
