Gothic 4: Arcania Maps - Innos Statuettes

For a list of all Gothic 4: Arcania maps by HaKaShi, click here.

The Statuettes of Lord Dominique

Amongst Daranis' documents you found an excerpt from a text about the life of Lord Dominique, who is said to have hidden a large number of Innos Statuettes on Argaan. Whoever manages to find all of them, is said to have the blessing of Innos. Keep your eyes open, perhaps you'll find them.

Cleaved Maiden

At the side of the barn next to Murdra's tavern
Inside the Southern mine behind some crates

South Stewark

Upstairs in Ogtar's house, the statue is cunningly hidden in between the 3 barrels. This can be awkward to pick up but I managed to get it by climbing on the bed on the left and looking down at it.

Stewark Castle

Stand in front of the Citadel in Stewark then look to your left. You should see a wooden staircase going up. Climb the staircase and enter the house. You should see several lectern's on the first floor. Go up the next set of stairs to see some bookshelves. There is a Shaman's Bracer's plans on the table and the statue is on the bookshelf behind it.
In the Citadel inside Stewark Castle (the building kept locked by Grom until the end of the "Stewark Stew" quest).

Valley of Blood

Go to the logging camp just north of the Ranger's Camp. On the map, just a little to the north west are some rocks with a wooden awning at the bottom of them. The statue is hidden behind the barrels.
In the cave where you obtain the Golden Arrowhead, take the right fork and it is behind some barrels in a small camp, just before you enter the circular area with the relic and stalactites.
Inside the cave to the north-east (not the cave with the scared man in it). The cave has goblins inside and also "Gawaan's Standard".

Silverlake Castle

When you enter Silverlake Castle, look directly ahead. You will see an open door with a window above it. To the left of this door (while facing forwards from the castle entrance) you will see some stairs up to the ramparts. Go up these stairs and inside the door at the top. The statue is hidden between some shelves and boxes.

Silverlake

Inside the watchtower (where you go to get Welgard's sketchbook during the "Dark Business" quest).
In the cave with Erhag during the "Argent Honour" quest. Next to some barrels.

South Silverlake

Just outside the back door of Melog's Hut.

Swamp

Southeast of the Tooshoo tree is a farm in the swamp (Shake's Hut). It is on the path between the Tree and Lester's Hut to the southeast. A Relic is against the wall of the hut, on the outside, near a barrel.

Blackwater (NOT the swamp and NOT the Tree, but the village around the tree)

Hut at the west of Blackwater where a path leads directly west out of the town. Inside a room in the hut.
Southernmost hut of Blackwater. Outside of that hut are some long boxes. The Statuette is behind them; the usual glowing butterflies won't activate until you are close to the Statuette.
The hut northeast from the Statuette #15. The statue is next to the door in the corner.

Tree of Knowledge

Go upstairs from within the trunk to a northwest hut. Typically a Firemage and a Shadowmage are just outside, going up and down the nearby stairs between this hut and the hut with Beliar Artefact #15. The Statuette is on a table in plain view.
Go upstairs from within the trunk to a hut with a lot of lecterns and bookcases. Behind some barrels.

Monastery

As you enter the monastery, there is a building to your left. Walk around the building and go up the wooden stairs and inside. The statue is on a bookshelf.

Jungle

After Ancient Relic #21, continue following the east side rock wall in the Jungle till you find an Innos Statuette in a nook in the rocks.
Outside Jabo's Hut, northeast corner, right against the hut and the rock face. Glowing butterflies marking the location are visible inside the Hut.

Refugee Camp

At the Refugee Camp, check inside a cart next to one of the huts.

Lost Goddess Temple - If you go too far into the Temple you will not be able to backtrack out of it

In the first room after the fight with Dantero; the same room you meet the first Minecrawler. On the floor on the right side of the room, near the roots.

Village

When you are sent to the first village to clear out the undead, it is sitting behind one of the huts to the west.

Thorniara

As you enter the harbour, it is on a boat on the bow (there is also a meteoric ore on this boat).
In Rhobar's Castle, head upstairs and it's in the corner of one of the rooms to the north west area of the castle.
Again in Rhobar's Castle, head down to the cells and it's under the bed in the middle cell.
After you clear out the Belios Cultists from the north eastern temple, head outside and hidden in the grass to the north is the statue.
If you look at your map, south west of the north eastern temple is a pie shaped building. Walk down the path and inside, in the corner is your statue.

Zoldren

If you exit the room after collecting ancient relic number 30, you will enter south into a rectangular room. Simply turn to your right as you enter and the last statue is behind the pillar.

Gothic 4: Arcania Maps - Forgotten Graves

For a list of all Gothic 4: Arcania maps by HaKaShi, click here.

The Forgotten Graves

You found a scroll talking about a Rune of Frozen Might. Rumour says this rune was smashed by Setarrifian mages, and each of the mages was buried with one rune shard. Perhaps you can find the mages' grave and put the rune back together again.

Cleaved Maiden

From The Cleaved Maiden, take the path that is just south of the path up the beach where you started with Diego. Follow this path till it forks, and take the north (right side) fork. The grave is along the north-south stretch of this path.
Just north of the triangle formed by paths between the Watch Tower and Garv's hut. On the right side, to the north of large rocks.
Follow the path leading south from The Cleaved Maiden to the mine entrance where you first encounter the Digger (for "The Abandoned Mine" quest). It is near the first fork, on the east side.
Inside the mine in one of the caves. NOT the long mounds that cannot be interacted with. Note that the map incorrectly shows that there is a grave in the southern half of the mines -- that is actually an Ancient Relic behind a table of books.
Beach south of the Watch Tower. South end of the beach.

Stewark

On the beach south of the bridge to Stewark Castle.
Along the path to the northernmost part of the map where there is a locked door to a cave. Look near the big rocks that are on the right side of the path.
From the first farm shed, head east to find a winding trail up the mountain. It is along that trail, before you get to the top.
Follow the winding trail (see above) and at the top, turn right (east) and head away from the fields. Where the trail forks to allow going around a rock formation, go right (west) and look for a grave before rejoining the main trail.

Hunter's Lodge / Valley of Blood

East side of the battlefield.
From the Hunter's Lodge, follow the path east and when it turns north, go off the path and continue east. In the area bounded by the path and the mountains, the grave is roughly in the middle.

Silverlake South

Just past the bridge, follow the rocks on the right till you find it near a beach.
From Melog's Hut, follow the south-western path. It is near the bend where it turns north-west-west, on the left (south) side of the path.
Goblin cave, east side of first cave.

Swamp

To the southeast of the Tooshoo region is a ransacked hut (Lester's Hut) in the swamp. From that hut, go directly south until you see a large outcrop of rock on the beach. The grave is at the base of this rock formation.
At the western mountain edge there is a goblin cave where you find the Water Chalice. This cave system ends on a high cliff ledge. The grave is on the ledge.
West of the great tree, in a large clearing with some ruins just past the fork in the western road.
Further west of #17 are caves. Inside the northernmost cave, there is a grave in the northernmost point.

Monastery

When following the glowing swampweed in search of Lester, the path will go past a locked gate, then down the hill to a beach, The grave is just off the seaward side of the path, near one of the big rocks.

The Black Gorges

Just past where you meet Bartur for the first time, at the intersection, at the base of one of the big pyramid shaped rocks.

Jungle

East of the Jungle Ruins teleporter there is a very large rock formation in the clearing. There is a Grave near the base of that formation, on the south side.
North-East-East of the Jungle Ruins teleporter, near the eastern rock wall and some Razors.
East of Jabo's campfire (where you first meet him).
From the bow of the ship with Varald, jump to the squarish area blocked on its three other sides by mountain/rock. Head to the area clear of grass and with two skulls on stakes.
Directly north of the ship with Varald is a north-south rock formation (forming the western wall of the area described for Grave #24. Follow the west side of this formation up the beach until you find the Grave nearby the north end of the rock formation.

Note that you may be able to see two skulls on spikes atop the very tall rock formation. Get up there and there is a chest.

Lost Goddess Temple - If you go too far into the Temple you will not be able to backtrack out of it

In the cave before the fight with the Minecrawler Queen.
From Beliar Artefact #26, jump south down off the rocky path and you will basically land right on top of it and activate the glowing butterfly marker.

Village

When you are at Khilian's cave again (now from other side) head to the northeast. It is near the path at the fork.
In the northeast of the village you have to free follow the path to the north. It is beside the path.

Thorniara

Near the Temple in the nothern section of the map, where the charm is. S-W of the Temple is a building that looks like a cake slice. Near the lower left corner of this building (near the Innos statue).
At the cemetery where Gorn is waiting.

Gothic 4: Arcania Maps - Beliar Artefacts

For a list of all Gothic 4: Arcania maps by HaKaShi, click here.

Hatred's Reaper

You found a letter from Daranis to Grand Master Milten. In it he mentions some Beliar artefacts that are supposed to have belonged to the Order of Hatred. Perhaps if you manage to find them, you could combine the artefacts with a common scythe and conjure Hatred's Reaper...

Beliar Artefacts are typically sitting out in the open on large rocks, but in locations you may have to jump up to.

Cleaved Maiden

Go to the Fishermen huts by the beach in the north west. Next to one of the huts on the beach is a rock. The artifact is sitting on top.
Hog's Rock, south end. Near the start of the path going east to a clearing. There is a treasure chest very close to the location.

The key to the Ranger's Armoury chest is very close: From the southernmost east-west section of the path loop on Hog's Rock, go off the path to the south and look among the bushes for a skeleton.

At the Bandit Camp, just before crossing the bridge into Stewark, head round the back of the house and the artifact is sitting in the grass.

Stewark

After crossing the bridge into Stewark, go left (to the west) and follow the cliff all the way along until it starts curving north. It is on a rock outcropping over the ocean.
Near where you first meet Hem during the "Alkaloid Derivatives" quest.
Near the entrance to the cave with Beliar cultists.
Near the locked door at the very north end of the area.

Note you can pass this door only if you side against the Rebels.

Stewark Castle

Inside Chuck's house, during "The Creepy Neighbour" quest.
Head to the very north of Stewark castle and you will find a door to a house that is locked. Climb the nearby stairs and head to the side of the house. Jump out onto the rocks on the cliff and then down into the balcony to enter the house. A chest inside the house unlocks the door to the house. A Beliar Artefact and an Ancient Relic are upstairs.

Valley of Blood / Hunter's Lodge area

South of the Hunter's Lodge, west of the main path before you enter the Gorge of the Penitants. On a rocky outcropping overlooking the bay.
From the goblin cave follow the path west. On a large rock. Climb up and find the artifact on a mossy rock.

Silverlake South (Melog's Hut area)

Go around the rocky hill in the middle of this area until you can find your way up by a path. Look around the area for a lower rock ledge for the artefact.

Silverlake East (Orc Caves)

In the Silverlake orc caves head east to the storage areas and look in the northern cave, behind some wood.

Swamp

When you leave the stony pass leading to the Tooshoo area, follow the rock wall on the left until you get to Ancient Relic #14. Jump ahead to walk in the swamp, and continue following your left side. Eventually you will curve to the right because of the rock wall and come to a lonely tree at a clearing. The artefact is at the foot of this tree.
During the "A Man of Many Friends" quest, when following the Swampweed Trail, it will eventually wind up into the mountains and shortly after you first see locked gates, it will turn south you will be at a cliff facing the sea. The Artefact is lying on the rocks there.

Tree of Knowledge

From inside the tree trunk, go upstairs to Innos Statuette #17, then exit that hut and go upstairs again to a hut on the west side. More or less in plain view on the ground at a shelf with bread and jars.

Sea Cliff Monastery

As you make your way up the winding path to the monastery, you will reach a fork in the road (and be attacked by some skeletons). Go right at the fork then immediately look to your right again. Carefully jump onto the rocks and look down and you will see the artifact on a lower rock.
Go into the courtyard in the monastery and up the stairs to reach the upper ring. Follow this to the east and you will see a roof with planks on it. Jump onto this roof and follow it along till you come to a plank jutting out. You then need to do a big jump across to the opposite building. You'll now be on the roof of the building that housed the Innos statue. Look down from here and jump down onto the awning to collect the artifact.

Jungle

Not far past Innos Statuette #20 and the Dead Refugee are more Primeval Scavengers near two boulders on the east side of the path; one boulder is laying horizontally, the other leaning against it on its north side. The Beliar Artefact is in the grass on the east side of this formation.
After leaving the jungle ruins, follow the east side rock wall until you find it behind a tree before the path slopes downward and widens into a field.
On the ship you find Varald, go to the plank extending off the south side of the ship. You can just walk through the rope in your way and then carefully down to grab the Beliar Artefact. If you jump you are likely to overshoot and drown in the water.

Lost Goddess Temple - If you go too far into the Temple you will not be able to backtrack out of it

Northeast corner of the chamber before you pass the barrier (where you fight Dantero).
Western room with a stand of 3 glowing mushrooms, two brown sarcophagi at the north end, and stairs leading up in a northwesterly direction. In the northern corner of this room is the Artefact.
After killing the Minecrawler Queen, simply head out the first opening on the right to a cliff overlooking a lake and village beyond. Left side of cliff edge.
After killing the Ahn'Bael twins, look on the ground in the north east area of the room you fought them in. Near one of the big golden bowls.
After you get the Divine Hammer and exit the Temple, the steep rocky slope down ends in a clearing and you can go either left or right. Go right and watch the ground on your right hand side to find the Artefact. It is slightly underneath one of the big rock "steps" so you will likely not see it going down, and have to turn back to look the way you came to spot it.

Village

Head slightly north from the village where you kill the undead and you will see some rocks. Jump up the rocks and the artifact is sitting on top of them.

Thorniara

If you look at the map, to the right of Rhobar's Castle are some houses. Climb the rocks round the back of the houses to get into the backyard and collect the artifact from on top of the outhouse.
When you get to the lighthouse that houses the teleporter to Xardas, take a short detour down the left side pathway. After killing 2 skeletons, the artifact will be visible in some foliage at the bottom.

Zoldren

Consult the map for Zoldren and look to the very top left of the map (most north west room). The artifact is on the central island inside the room. You'll know you're in the right place as it's filled with green goop.

After leaving the jungle ruins, follow the east side rock wall until you find it behind a tree before the path slopes downward and widens into a field.
On the ship you find Varald, go to the plank extending off the south side of the ship. You can just walk through the rope in your way and then carefully down to grab the Beliar Artefact. If you jump you are likely to overshoot and drown in the water.

Lost Goddess Temple - If you go too far into the Temple you will not be able to backtrack out of it

Northeast corner of the chamber before you pass the barrier (where you fight Dantero).
Western room with a stand of 3 glowing mushrooms, two brown sarcophagi at the north end, and stairs leading up in a northwesterly direction. In the northern corner of this room is the Artefact.
After killing the Minecrawler Queen, simply head out the first opening on the right to a cliff overlooking a lake and village beyond. Left side of cliff edge.
After killing the Ahn'Bael twins, look on the ground in the north east area of the room you fought them in. Near one of the big golden bowls.
After you get the Divine Hammer and exit the Temple, the steep rocky slope down ends in a clearing and you can go either left or right. Go right and watch the ground on your right hand side to find the Artefact. It is slightly underneath one of the big rock "steps" so you will likely not see it going down, and have to turn back to look the way you came to spot it.

For a list of all Gothic 4: Arcania maps by HaKaShi, click here.

Ancient Relics

As a token of his blessing, Gromar offered you a small y-shaped relic that he said his grandfather found in Argaan. There are said to be even more of these relics to be found there, and that he who finds them all would acquire great fame and riches.

Cleaved Maiden

Go east around the Cleaved Maiden till you find three boars. Look for the Relic by a tree in the clearing.
Beach near the watch tower, at the south end.
South of Garv's cabin, near where the path is a dead end blocked by rocks.
In the mines. Enter from the southernmost entrance and follow north till you find a table with books. Look behind the table.
Hog's Rock, south end. There is a path heading east to a small clearing. Look for it at the foot of a tree.

NOTE: The key to the Ranger's Armoury chest is very close: From the southernmost east-west section of the path loop on Hog's Rock, go off the path to the south and look among the bushes for a skeleton.

South Stewark

In the watchtower near Hertan's hideout. At the base of the stairs.

Stewark Castle

In a alcove next to Winstan in Stewark.
Head to the very north of Stewark castle and you will find a door to a house that is locked. Climb the nearby stairs and head to the side of the house. Jump out onto the rocks on the cliff and then down into the balcony to enter the house. A chest inside the house unlocks the door to the house. A Beliar Artefact and an Ancient Relic are upstairs.

Valley of Blood

In the goblin cave for "The Golden Arrowhead" quest.
In the tunnel where you find Khilian in the "Scarred for Life" quest. It is near an ore vein.

Silverlake

On some rocks to the left of a large waterfall just before crossing the bridge into South Silverlake.

South Silverlake

West side of the big rocky hill in South Silverlake (Melog's Hut area). Follow the edge of the hill until you find the relic sitting on a rock.

Silverlake Castle

Atop the tower with Tronter's Signet Ring during the "Lord Trontor's Heritage" quest. Climb up the stairs to the top of the tower and look behind some barrels.

Swamp

When the stone path leading to the Tooshoo region ends and you are in the Tooshoo area, follow the stone wall on the left until you can't go any further without entering swampwater.
To the southeast of the Tooshoo region is a ransacked hut (Lester's Hut) in the swamp. Southwest of that hut are two caves. The Relic is at the back of the deeper cave with Snappers.
Western end of the beach, at the very end among the tree roots.

Blackwater

Go to the south-west-south plank path leading out of Blackwater. Nearby on the walkway are a stack of three long boxes. Between them and the trunk of the great tree is a log in the water. The Relic is on the log; no glowing butterflies.

Monastery

As soon as you exit the orc tunnels after rescuing Lester, the relic is literally right in front of you on the edge of the cliff.
Head to the west side of the monastery and into the room full of bookshelves. Inside, you will find a lever on a wall. Pull it and a bookshelf will move allowing you into a back room. Go in here and then pull another lever on your right as you enter (in the corner) and this opens another side room. Go in here and collect the relic and a nice crafting plan for mage armour.

The Black Gorges

Heading north away for Bartur, the gorge has as passage to the left. After that passage, follow the left (west) wall and keep checking the wall for the Relic. It is directly south of a trio boulders (the southern boulder has a sulfur deposit).

Jungle

As soon as you enter the jungle from the Black Gorges, follow the rock wall on the east side till you find a Relic on the ground. Continue following the east rock wall to find Innos Statuette #20.
On the side of the Jungle with access to the beach and the shipwreck, there is a small lake on the west side. From this lake head north following the west rock wall. Following the wall will move you southwest before continuing northward again. The Relic will be on the ground somewhere in this detour. There may or may not be glowing butterflies marking the location.

Refugee Camp

Watchtower northeast of the Refugee Camp, on a narrow cliff. Like previous watchtower Relics, it is at the base of the stairs.

Lost Goddess Temple - If you go too far into the Temple you will not be able to backtrack out of it

Where you first encounter two Ice Golems, the are two temple entrances. At the entrance without red braziers, look behind one of the short pillars.

Village

After leaving the cave where you get the quest to kill the undead militiamen, head down to the immediate south and to the other side of the blocked road that you first saw in the Valley of Blood. The relic is behind a small rock.
The relic is just before the "locked" rubble in the cave that connects back to the Valley of Blood (the one where Khillian was hiding). The cave is located in the south west of Thorniara.

Thorniara

As soon as you enter Thorniara, go right and climb up onto the battlements. Simply follow it to the end and relic is sitting in plain view in front of the rocks.
After meeting Diego, find Snips. Follow the outer wall of the building he is standing at until you find a chest. The Relic is in a tight alcove nearby, at eye-level. You will probably see the glowing butterfly marker first.
If you look at your map, you will see the circular arena (in the north east of Thornaria). At the very south tip of the arena outside, look at the rocks by the cliffs and you'll see some bushes. The relic is hidden inside the bushes.

Zoldren

Again, consult your map. You want to look at where you enter and trace the following route. Follow the path forwards till the first fork. At the fork, go south and follow this into an open area with some fire golems. The relic is inside this room tucked into a corner by one of the broken archways at the side of the room.

Gothic 4: Arcania Map Index

If you are playing Gothic 4: Arcania and are stuck looking for the various collectibles, then these maps may be of help to you. These maps were made years ago by HaKaShi, and are mostly offline now, but we managed to find the maps and location hints.
Gothic 4 is part of the Gothic series -- Gothic, Gothic 2, Gothic 3, and Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods. The early Gothic games suffered from really awkward controls, but Gothic 4: Arkania has industry standard FPS controls, and excellent graphics. Characters in the world and their interactions/ambiance isn't as refined as Oblivion or Skyrim, but it's also nowhere near as demanding on hardware for a really pretty game.

As you play the game you'll be introduced to four quests for collectibles, for which there are basically 30 pieces to each. Click on these links to be taken to map pages and a list of hints for their locations:
