Gothic 2: New Balance - Update 25.12.2025

1. Slightly increased the base health of some shaman totems

2. Minor bugs fixed

3. Fixed the armor bonus of “Dragon Slayer Armor”, which was not working correctly

4. A short description of the game’s difficulty levels has been added to the help window

5. Cursed: resistance to possession now works already from the Initiate rank, not only from Master

6. Cursed (fist fighter): the “Blood Dominion” skill is now learned at the Initiate rank instead of Master

7. Asmal has been slightly buffed – he now drinks a potion before combat, and experience gained from dialogue has been increased

8. The Runner’s Ring now additionally grants +10% movement and running speed

9. Beliar’s Wrath: quest-related sheep can no longer be cursed by Beliar

10. Fixed Azgalor’s melee (fire) damage, which was abnormally low (applies to a new game if you have already summoned him)

11. Fixed a bug where periodic damage now wakes enemies from sleep (exception: bleeding). If a target has periodic effects active, it cannot be put to sleep, as the effect will immediately remove sleep

12. There are now slightly fewer orcs in the canyon near the library, making it easier to pass through

13. Improved checks when using a sleeping bag (enough space, whether it can be placed, etc.)
