How does one fix it so the gate can be opened? I have mole grease on me. I don't remember having a problem here and I did check a walkthrough but it said to just open it. Note: not talking about the orc temple past the gate and the transport scroll/spell.

EDIT: Appears to be a bug; You tube play showed unamed hero just opning it.

Should this bug keep you from entering the Orc temple, you could use the "alternate" route over the mountains. When approaching the Orc village from where the Stonehenge is you will notice ledges on the right side where you can jump up to. From there it is possible to descend all the way to the temple's forecourt.

On a side note: Ranged fighters with lots of patience can dispatch off almost all the Orcs from up there, with the exception of the shamans and the two warriors guarding the cave area which contains the transportation scroll.

Missed that (I did check for an alternate route). Since it was a bug, I marvined in. I ran into another bug at the temple gate - the transport spell didn't work so I had to marvin it again. Really didn't want to fight all the shamans at once so I didn't use the key on the pillar.

"Spoiler for Gothic 2"

Gothic
The gate before the temple doesn't need anything else to operate.
Did you install any new patches? As a fan of Gothic series (played all three more than 100 times) I can say that I just slayed all the orcs, came up the the lever, & it opened the gate.

Gothic 2
"Mole rat fat" is usable only for "Vino's cave"

Hope this helped

Been a long time since I played "1" prior to this. No, no patches or mods (although I should have used "system pack"), just the GOG version of the game. Definite bug. Been a while since "2" too - been carrying that molegrease around for no reason apparently :)
