Gothic II city entry, apprenticeships and master approvals

Earn access and income without confusing the city's several membership systems.

Edition covered

The 2002 Gothic II main campaign, with Night of the Raven differences identified separately. Pictures show Gothic II: Gold Edition, which includes that expansion and its Jharkendar region. Gold changes balance, training costs and some quest routes compared with the original release.

Use Lobart's farm as an opening route

Work at Lobart's farm can reduce the cost of farmers clothes, providing a straightforward way to approach the city gate. The game also supports other entry routes, so city access is not a single mandatory quest solution.

Collect the masters approvals

Apprenticeship in the lower city is separate from joining a main guild. Bosper, Harad and Constantino are the possible masters, while other craftsmen also influence whether you are accepted.

Choose income that suits the character

Bosper rewards hunting-related work, Harad favors smithing and Constantino uses alchemy and ingredients. Consider the learning points and routine you want before committing to the apprenticeship.

Return after finishing the requirement

Many early tasks only complete after reporting to the requester. Check the journal and speak to the master again before assuming that possessing the required item has already earned approval.
