Locate the ge3.ini file in the directory /Gothic3/Ini and open it in Notepad. Search for the string:


[Game]

TestMode=false


And replace the word 'false' with 'true'. Save the file as an INI file (not a TXT file -- something only Notepad can do) and boot your game. With such a minor change to the INI file, you can safely change the value back if your game crashes.


American and European Key Boards have slight differences in the arrangements of the Keys. The _ key (underscore) and the ? key (question mark) are exchanged so when you try to get the NTSC cheat codes to work, they do not work in PAL unless you replace the underscore with question marks.


An example would be give Cat_Armor would have to be changed to give Cat?Armor instead.


Once you boot Gothic 3, you can drop the dialogue box using the TILDE key (next to numeric 1 on the keyboard). Input the following codes for kicks:


give all : all items gained

give $item : gives player item specified in $item value

idkfa : give 100 of each item

god : player invulnerable

invisibility : no target mode toggle

kill : NPC entities in range all die

teach all : all skills are learned at the cost of setting player stats to zero

spawn $object : spawns specified item or creature set in the $object value
