The blade acts on creatures using magic in a rather destructive way. If the creature has a strong spirit, then it resists this influence, but the rest are unlikely to stand, which is what happened with Rademes. As a result, he and all the builders became greedy and insane.
The claw was forged by Beliar from black ore, it emits dark energy. Rademes, under his influence, began a fratricidal war. The result was sad: their civilization was destroyed and perished.
The picture below represents Beliar in person.
Raven wanted to get this blade for himself to take advantage of his power, but one hero who was able to get into the temple killed the baron and took the sword to himself. Later it turned out that you can not use this blade, if you try to pick it up, you can get a lightning strike. The hero goes for advice to Saturas, the water mage. In addition, Xardas may well know at least something about the weapon. It is in this way that Beliarās Claw falls into the hands of our hero.
Two scenarios
It is the hero who must determine what to do with the blade further. Or he gives it to the water magicians, but they destroy him. Or he leaves Claw to himself, hoping to use it for good deeds.
In the first case, Xardas will be very upset because of the destruction of the blade, and you gain experience. In the second case, you will need a lot of patience. Is the game worth the candle? Experienced gamers say: definitely. The thing is that in the game "Gothic: Raven Night" Beliarās claw can transform. Its transformation directly depends on who the character is.
So, for example, if you play a magician, he will receive Beliar runes. If you are a mercenary, militia, dragon hunter, then use as directed. In addition, the Claw can, by itself, whether you want it or not, become not only a one-handed, but also a two-handed sword. It depends on your skill. Suppose you have a one-handed weapon, you will receive the same sword, respectively. It should be understood that before using the Claw, it is sanctified. To do this, go to the statue of Beliar and pray to him.
The statue is made of an unknown rock. In the dialog, you select the option where the improvement is indicated.
An important fact: a lot depends on the level of the character. If you have a level from one to 10 and you consecrate it for the first time, then the weapon will receive 1 level. Every 2 lvl you have the right to improve your weapons. To do this, just pray. But if you want to pump it to the maximum, and this is level 20, your lvl should be 47. The higher the level of the weapon, the more damage it deals, the greater the chance of additional damage.
Do not think that someone will allow you to do this for free. To improve Beliar's Claw, you will have to give 5 units of your life. Let's say you upgrade weapons by three levels. In this case, the character must be at level 6, and he loses 15 units of life, while forever. Next, be sure to see what kind of weapon you get.
Most importantly, the strength indicator and the use of weapons are independent of each other. However, force can affect the damage you do to your opponent.
When you strike your enemy with Claw Beliar, he takes more damage from lightning. If lightning strikes him, then he loses 100 units of life, regardless of what kind of protection he has.
At the first weapon level, you can deal 12% additional damage.
Tip for the magician
If warriors receive a sword as a weapon, then for the magician Beliar's Claw are runes. When the magician consecrates it, the sword disappears in the inventory, but a rune appears. It allows you to get a spell that depends on the circle.
For example, it could be a zombie challenge. In this way, you challenge yourself to beings who will fight for you. Or you call the Guard, who does almost the same thing. But it is worth considering that the Stone Guard. The most effective spell is the green tentacles. They can paralyze your enemy for a while, and then you can have fun with him. You can also steal energy, inflict damage. There are two more interesting spells: the swarm and the cry of the dead. When using the first, there are bees that inflict bites on the enemy in any accessible place, in the second case a skull appears, it flies out of your hands and inflicts 666 damage to your enemy. However, if you use the last spell, your mana supply will be completely empty, you need to keep this in mind.
If you move to a higher circle of magic, then change the rune, and use only one of the options. To do this, you need to find the statues of Beliar give 5 points of life and learn a new spell.
Raven
You will learn about the blade of Ashtar's Golden Dragon. He will tell: everything that happens in Yarkendar is the fault of the baron, whose name is Raven, that is, a raven. You have no choice, you have to kill him.
In the game "Gothic: Return 2.0" Beliarās claw can be obtained from the baron, but just like that he wonāt give it away. You need to kill him, after which you will find this sword on his corpse.
Go straight to the temple, talk with the baron, then get ready to fight him.
Meeting the baron in the temple. It is rather dark and gloomy there. The raven greets you with the words: "Look who came." Total will be 4 waves, in each wave 4 NPCs. Neither the guards nor the priests will attack you unless you fall on them.
Fighting mummies is quite simple, but you must not allow them to surround you with a bunch. And if this is not allowed, then you will calmly kill them all. Guards will be more difficult than mummies. However, you can handle them too.
Priests. If you are a magician, you will quickly deal with these comrades. If you are a warrior, act very quickly.
Demonicons. These are the most dangerous. They rush in four, and it is worth bearing in mind that they are quite strong and fast. In addition, they can apply magic. If you are a magician, then you can kill them, but the warrior will have to work hard.
And finally, the boss appears, that is, the baron in person. Once you defeat him, you will find a sword.
Then along with the sword you go again to the dragon, who will tell you very interesting facts. Among other things, from him you will receive a quest called "Artifacts of Antiquity."
Quest completion
They will give you money for killing the baron, for this you need to tell Greg, as well as Saturas, about the death of the baron.
Saturas tells you: āThe earthquakes have stopped, and, as I see, you are still alive. Does this mean that your mission was a success? ā
The same dragon will make you an offer: destroy the Claw. Yes, you will gain experience, but players say that you do not need to do this. Go to Xardas, who will inform you about the use of the blade.
You should know that if you take the above quest, and you have a sword in your inventory, and you go to pray to God, the minions of Senyak will appear all the time, who will demand from you that you give them the blade. They will constantly bother you under your feet, and they will stop appearing only after you finally complete your quest.
What is the difference
There is a difference between using one-handed and two-handed weapons. Experienced players say itās best to choose one-handed, as you will strike at a much faster rate. A weapon is pumped as soon as possible after you received it. It is very effective to use against any NPC, because it takes 100 points of life from the enemy.
Suppose you have an adversary who uses knives, for example, an orc. Experienced players say that lightning strikes the enemy, and the enemy seems to die, but he still runs quietly for some time and can deliver some blows. This usually lasts from 1 to 3 seconds.
Some features
Do you have an NPC that you don't need to kill, but only stun? Lightning can kill him, so itās advisable to use some other weapon, or to survive before that.
If you are a magician, and you do not yet have 3 circles, then use the steal energy spell. It takes energy from the enemy, as a result of which he takes 900 points of damage, after which the enemy has 1 point of life left, and you can finish him off with something, for example, a staff. However, this spell only works effectively on humans, on monsters and animals, such tactics will not work. Itās good to use in missions when you can beat someone.
The tentacle stops your enemy, they are advised to use several opponents, which the spell will stop them, after which you will calmly kill each separately.
The players also noticed one feature: if you took the runes, similar to the Beliar runes, of red color, and you pray to this god, then all of them will disappear, only one of them will remain. Well, then you have to choose.
Cheat
There is a cheat code on weapons, Beliar's Claw can be obtained with his help. To do this, activate the Marvin mode.
If you are a warrior, you want to get one-handed weapons, then write the following:
ItMw_BeliarWeapon_1H_01 to 20
If you have a desire to fight two-handed, then:
ItMw_BeliarWeapon_2H_01 to 20
And if you are a magician, then press F2, after which in the console that appears you need to write:
INSERT RUNENBRIEF.
See the scroll, it must be read. Next, you get runes not only Beliar, but also water, and water spells.
Unfortunately, the code is not known on the tentacles. If you want to steal energy, enter ItRu_SuckEnergy.
Beliar's Fury - you need to write ItRu_BeliarsRage.
Stone Guard - ItRu_SummonGuardian, zombies - ItRu_SummonZombie.
If you like to watch bees bite your opponent, write ItRu_Swarm.
And finally, Scream the Dead can be obtained by ItRu_Skull.
Return
It is worth noting that in the game "Gothic - Return" Beliar's Claw is a quest, but "Return" itself is a mod. Although many players believe that this is more of an addon. In "Return" the game world received an extension, and the plot became much more interesting, characters and locations were added. If you are new to the game, it is better not to use this mod, since you will be pumped at a rather serious level.
A total of 7 chapters, 23 places + 3, which are already available. Old places have been changed, locations from the first part are added. Previously, if you were walking into the Valley of Mines, then there was a void behind the wall. Now there you will find some more adventures. And also there are locations in which you can get only if you take some kind of quest. You can also join 3 guilds and play a game for them. The first guild is water magicians, the second is dark magicians, that is, necromancers, as well as the Brotherhood. Three factions were added: these are the Free Hunters, and 2 guilds: merchants and killers.
NPCs added about 100 species, 200 quests, completely new. Some missions have an alternative ending, which depends on what actions your character performs.
They also added a bunch of weapons that are easy to find. If you wish, you can sell it in the Upper Quarter, the merchant will give you a good price. Added armor with redesigned parameters. To purchase them, you must complete some quest or find them during the game.
Now all magicians can use their magic during battle, and not just with weapons. Various items were added, including artifacts and books, in some of them you can find out which monsters have what weaknesses.
Problems
Sometimes in "Return 2.0" Beliar's Claw creates problems. For example, when killing Raven and taking away his sword, the player sees the message: āIf you want to put on a sword, then offer a prayer to God.ā The character offers prayers, Beliar shows a good attitude, and the sword is not worn anywhere. In theory, prayer takes your health, after which the game correlates the weapon with your level. But it also happens that nothing happens. The player prays, he is informed that God is good, but when the Claw improves, he receives a lightning strike and a message that the favor is not enough. Players pray several times, but still nothing happens.
You should first talk to Saturas, who should tell you how to use the weapon. You can also talk with Xardas, although the latter does not affect anything. Beliar does not like to be addressed too often.
Actually, the Claw cannot be worn initially, and it has no characteristics. And if you saw some characteristics, it means that it has already been adjusted in relation to you. It is best to go to chapter 3, after which you need to take Beliarās rune from the Seeker and improve it.
Advice
If you are a paladin, a militia or a knight, then you have some opportunities, but with Beliar you will not have a very good relationship.
The necromancer is much simpler about this, because on the fourth lap he can already use Beliarās Wrath. In addition, he has a very good relationship with God, and his magic of darkness acts better on opponents. If you find the Mora Ulartu rune, you can catch the soul of your defeated enemy in soul stones, after which you use these souls to pump the blade of Beliarās Claw, as well as your staff. However, the necromancer has a very bad relationship with Innos and people.
Often players say that itās good to join the trading guild, because you get not only experience, but also certain money. Further the guild gives you many interesting quests. When your character becomes a master of this guild, he can find quite valuable goods from merchants.
