Gothic 2: New Balance – Upcoming Changes, Ring of Water, Dexter

Hi, I’ve got a few updates for you regarding the Ring of Water and some other changes coming in the next major update. I’ll serve the info in smaller portions so it’s nice and tidy instead of one giant stew. For anyone out of the loop — the new major update is coming after New Year and will bring a new class, a new map, an expansion for Water Mages, and plenty of other additions.

Future changes: Dexter

Many players ran into the issue of having to kill Dexter in some way to advance to Chapter 2. Not everyone liked using Fire Rain or the golem solution. That’s why the next major update will introduce another option:

A new way to complete Dexter’s camp will be available. You’ll now be able to poison the camp’s water supply… Most bandits will then fall into a helpless state (their health will remain nearly full, so you won’t lose almost any sneak damage).

This option will be available on all difficulties.

Ring of Water Armor

For the Warrior of Adanos (Nefarius’ apprentice), “Enchanted” Ring of Water armor will be available in Chapter 1.These will feature a blue color variant and are suited for the early game.

Below are two screenshots showing exactly what the armor will look like.(armor stats may still change)

Ring of Water – Introduction

Many players asked for an improved introduction to the Ring.The meeting in the tavern, right in front of everyone, didn’t feel logical.

So we’ve reworked the beginning. The Ring now has its own basement area, and the first meeting will take place there.

The dialogues and all other elements remain unchanged.
