Welcome to the boards!

Only the 99% uninformed websites mention this outdated method which just worked in the unpatched German release version. All you need to know can be found in our cheat guide on GothicDot.

Strange. Delete the devmode thing and try only bMARVINb. One method is enough. After Marvin is displayed at top left F2 should toggle the console. If not then something is wrong...

edit: first try only -devmode, then only MARVIN.

Or, not and! The two method are alternatives. Only use one of them.
What version of the game do you have?

This is correct. Now the 'F2' key should bring down the console, 'k' should teleport you forward, etc.
It worked on every Gothic version I tried it on, even in the demo.

If your version is newer than 1.06 you can stop searching. There is no such entry.
