Risen 3 Risen 3 resources

WORK IN PROGRESS

I'm currently replaying the game so this thread will contain info on best weapons per chapter, legendaries, recipes, schematics, permabonus herbs and other stuff that could be nifty.
It won't be fast to write it all and I'll probably miss one or two things worth noting, so if I do, feel free to add/correct it.
Since the replay is about me joining demon hunters (first runthrough was mage), I've cleared demon hunters' island completely. Except the chapter 3 part, but that'll be added eventually.
I'll do this for each island then I'll reedit and sort the whole thing per items, not per location.

When something is in a chest, the chest difficulty is mentioned in brackets.

So let's see for starters what can be found on Calador.

*****
CALADOR chapter 2
*****



Just so you can understand hints better.
Those three houses at the bottom of the map is fishermen village.
West are some ruins, a labyrinth of a sort, do notice there is a lone tower north from it and a huge clearing below. A bit south from the sole tower is a teleport and hunters' lodge.
On east part of the map you can see two teleports. The one on the left is by the tavern, the one on the right is by a huge castletype building called citadel.
A bit west from the tavern lives the butcher.
A bit north from citadel you may spot a graveyard on the pic with a windmill nearby, more north is some house without a roof and an entrance to a mine and more north from there is just a common house while even more north you can see some 5 dots around one which is in fact a stone circle where you just have to bring Bones to hear his comment.

KILA chapter 2
*****



When you arrive on Kila for the first time, you'll land near pirates' settlement. It's where the silver arrow is on the map, in southeast part of the island.
From there you can reach east coast through a cave or over the hill.
All way north is a remote island without a teleporter.
Going west through the jungle will lead you to natives' village teleporter. North from it is a big wall impossible to pass in chapter 2.

TARANIS chapter 2
*****



The spot you'll arrive is the harbor on the east side of the island where Rumold is running a warehouse with two gnomes acting as helping hands, Safi and Gadi who'll go for a mining later in southern mine which is just a bit southwest from the harbor.
On the harbor exit you'll find Baker who'll lead you to mages' base.
You won't be able to enter main building in mages' base immediately, only after you solve a few quests for Magnus who is standing in (not immediate) front of it. Inside main building are four mages of which only one gets outside during day, in it's basement is Nergal the alchemist who sells different common herbs and recipes.
Just a bit south from port you may see a monolith on the map, there are two more, one northwest and one all way south.
Towards northwest from the harbor is mages' base, more northwest is north mine.
South from that mine is an abandoned house with another mine below it, I'll call it Cox mine as once you explore it, Cox will go start the business there.
More south is the woods area.
All way south from woods is a swamp with shadow infested area just west from it.

TACARIGUA chapter 2
*****



The inquisition base with Sebastiano in charge is on the west, the most northern building in the base is a (former) prison.
North from it is badlands area with a ruined plantation, a bit west is the watchtower.
By that watchtower is a teleporter which by itself is not interesting, check the map and spot directly south from it some path that leads to the top of the mountain.
Apart from that top of the mountain pass, in the middle part of the island is the lighthouse and all way north is the skullcave.
Second badlands on this island is in the swamp all way east. The silver arrow marks one interesting spot that's near a campfire, more about it below.



Hints on legendaries

- Blue Quill - on the beach below the pass to the top of the mountain
- Herb Liquer - in the cave you reach by crossing the bridge a bit south from skullcave
- Target - in Sebastiano's room (main building in inquisition base)
- Damaged Cuirass - in a crate by a couple of graves in eastern badlands (swamp) just where you swim out



Legendaries to collect

- Target - on the roof of the main building in inquisition base (use liana in the back to climb up or pull it down with telekinesis)
- Plan of Holm the Great - inside Sebastiano's chest in the main building in inquisition base
- Vial - dig Nameless' Captain's treasure, you can learn the location only by reading about it on Taranis



Booze recipes

- Fighter's Liquor - pickpocket Rodriguez in inquisition base
- Painkiller - chest (20) by the campfire in the most western end of the island (where you meet Horas)



Potion recipes

- Potion of Will - chest (20) near the couple of graves in eastern badlands, near where you swim out
- Marksman's potion - chest (60) in the groundfloor room to the right inside main building in inquisition base
- Thief's potion - if you kill Vasco you can loot it from him (no, you can't K.O. him!), if you don't want to kill him, you can still find this recipe on Taranis



Schematics

- Gargoyle Amulet - chest (90) north from lighthouse bridge near swamp golem
- Ring from Another World - chest (20) in the skullcave guarded by swamp golem
- Heart of the Great Hunter - just across the bridge south from skullcave
- Sapphire Earring - treasure map from the watchtower leads to a spot near plantation



Permaherbs

Thief's Herb (2)
- in a cave north from the plantation farmhouse
- in eastern badlands, go west from Rosco's camp(fire) or take path upwards east from shadow lord (silver arrow on the map)

Soul Lichen (1)
- in a cave across the bridge south from skullcave

Swordthorn (1)
- use monkey in the watchtower

Hero's Crown (2)
- at the top of the mountain, you'll meet Hawke (bird wannabe) nearby

- Ursegor Flaming Eye is in the chest (0) a bit south from the pass to the mountain top, on the map it's a small rectangle west from the lighthouse
- Sphere Thorn hilt is inside the (former) inquisition base prison, use monkey to reach it



———————
* As time passes after you get the big ship Bones suggests to speak with your crew, every one in a while. Skip talking to Mendoza if you're going good route till you collect 3 items needed for his dreamquests (Fragment of Mara, Ursegor Flaming Eye and Garcia's forgot what), skip talking to Jaffar if you're going evil route, but make sure you talk to Polly the parrot. After quite a few chats, a quest Who's Polly's Daddy will trigger which will lead you into a certain cave. There you'll find a chest (10) with the best ingame armor (+25 on everything).
No, it's not chapter 3/4 item! At least not if you have DLC, I'm unsure if Bones suggests the talk as the time passes or it's based on different island visits.

Isle of Thieves DLC chapter 2
*****



In the center is gnomes' village.
What looks as some doublecave entrance in southeast part of the island actually leads to the goblin king and is guarded by a leviathan called gnome eater.
Although the area contains some hilarious quests, just herbs are interesting for this thread.



Permaherbs

Thief's Herb (1)
- east end of the southern beach, past gnome eater and another leviathan

Bloodcap (1)
- in the goblin king's cave, the entrance is behind leviathan named gnome eater, on the southeastern beach

*****
FOG ISLAND chapter 2
*****



Nothing much to say about this island except that it has superb substories.
On the island there are 5 soul eaters near each trader/trainer on the map. In the central part of the island you can spot on the map a stone circle with a ghost named Balthazar.
As gnome island, no recipes, schematics, etc, just herbs and a legendary item here. And a pot worth solving a quest.



Hints on legendaries

- Freddie's Shackles - in inquisition camp, Venturo will lead you to the camp



Legendaries to collect

- Freddie's Shackles - in a hut on southwestern beach



Permaherbs

Shadow Fire (2)

Soul Lichen (1)
- while standing in center of Balthazar's stone circle and facing south, use telekinesis spell

Swordthorn (1)

The rest maybe worth knowing, too early to say

- solve completely Balthazar's story and then ask him for magic, he'll give you one Soul Potion (permanent magic +5)

Ch 2 done.

Onward to chapter 3. IIRC there are a few herbs to collect in those parts…

But it'll be pretty boring. I actually managed to get all attributes to 105 except ranged - but it's 100 and if I knew where all these herbs are before, I could have get everything on 105.
Yes you read it right. It is possible to have all attributes maxed before starting chapter 3!!! I don't have them now on 105, but I still have 2 unused permabonus herbs in inventory which means if I managed glory better I'd have all attribs maxed.

Oh and I actually don't need another potion nor glory any more. One of legendaries accessible only in chapter 3 grants ranged +5. LOL

This game really needs another difficulty level <Gothic Veteran> or something.
At least for the second play-through.
