As someone who hasn't played the previous games, really liking Triss and not liking Yen at all.

Yen is all slap slap kiss kiss... and that was before Geralt lost his memory and fucked her friend Triss.
(and this is Yens first appearance in the games)

So about the Frying Pan quest -

Spoiler

With the monocle and the secret spy stuff, I saw someone speculating that the man who escaped might be Thaler. I wonder if that's true and we will find him somewhere later in the game. The monocle is still in my inventory.

Answer to your question:

Spoiler

Yes, but I doubt that's his doing. He's under cover as a shoemaker

Quick tip, when the three wraiths are summoned, Jenny heals if they get close to you.

So just keep away from the three, and eventually they disappear and Jenny will have regened no health.

Crossbow will also oneshot them if it hits.

Yen has too much attitude and she seems cold, I don't feel any chemistry between her and Geralt.

Hey guys, where is the barber?

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

so yeah i dont like to use my points until i hit a wall on my RPGs (unless is a skill i want/like), in the baron quest i maxed the trap one where the secondary mode puts a ward that causes a lot of damage to wraiths and also boost your attacks when they walk on your trap circle.

i like it more than my igni one tbh!

 

[Cartoons]

Where's the earliest i can find a respec potion?

i have some ragrets

You should be able to find an Alchemist on the East side of big Skillege island, beside a cave, and once you finish his quest he'll have 5 of them in stock. Don't think you need to do any quests to get to him, bar the one which makes him sell to you.

open that wall/stone thing after defeating Nithral, it has a weird symbol I haven't seen before.

Proceed with the quest and you'll get an item to open it.

Jenny O Woods is wrecking me. I could win if she didn't regen. I know you're supposed to hit the illusions, but I can never do it in time.

There's a bomb that prevents her from doing the ability. Moon Dust bomb?. You have to time it right though. You have to guess at which poins she's going to use that ability and throw the bomb before she does it

 

[kafiend]

The Fall of House Reardon.

True the quest takes you there, although you can also just stumble on him while investigalooting.

Is it a Sun Symbol? If yes, you might need to continue the main quest.

 

[Indrid Cold]

Wow thx game. Fucking swimming controls don't work. When I hold circle you go up and surface. Not tread water or dive ffs.

 

[Mangoverboard]

Havent played any previous Witcher games but I'm really loving this. I'm so involved in the story and the side quests. Writing is amazing. Anyone catch the movie references in the notice for Fists of Fury: Novigrad? Amazing.

As someone said above, really not liking Yen. Keira makes a comment about her treating Geralt like a dog and all I could think was 'shiiiit thats spot on'

I also ran into that high level wild Griffin, it knocked me off a fucking ridge

 

[Data West]

Not a fan of the 'yeah this stuff's way out leveled for you' in the second zone.

Like just don't show it to me on the map if that's the case.

 

[Renae]

Is there any missable side quests ? Because some prologue quests are hard in Death March and I'm only at Lvl 2 at the end of this prologue.

 

[Mindman]

EDIT:

N/M

 

[Nbz]

I have been ok with enemies/quests up to 3 levels above my own level. (But I am playing on Normal).

Yeah I'm playing on Normal as well, and I've beaten Witcher 2 (which everyone says is harder) so I should be fine

 

[bodine1231]

Had to enable the DLC stuff through GoG Gaaxy through checkmarks. ><

OMG I just did this,so damn stupid. I've probably out leveled that armor by now.

 

[Lingitiz]

Do we have a weapon/armor degradation mod yet?

 

[M.W.]

Does the game tell you when the prologue ends?

Walking around Valen at night and I found a guy who

challenged me to a duel to the death. He yielded in like three hits. I don't want to know what the story with him is, but has anyone found him again?

 

[Reebot]

Not explicitly that I remember but it's very obvious.

 

[Inkvoterad]

Is the guy who did the photo mode mod through cheat engine here? I'm just wondering something regarding cutscenes. the camera is severely zoomed out during cutscenes. I guess its an effect because of the mod? I'll survive, can just disable the photo mode during cutscene heavy questlines. Just wondering if it's supposed to do that.

 

[Furyous]

I ran into an issue completing family matters.

Spoiler

I followed the scent from the candle to the cellar with the hidden shrine and went back to the main room. Checked picture frame, everything behind it, the flowers on the table, the scaffolding, and the candle again. Quest marker tells me I'm missing something. What am I missing? Where is the armor in the baron's castle?

 

[Sorian]

The Fall of House Reardon.

Seriously? God damn it. I used the save from the OP and apparently that person wasn't alive on the save. I was lied to.

Come back later? And even though it's activated at first, you can deactivate points of interest, so when you explore you never know what you're gonna face.

Oh wow, the

quest is pretty dark. I've not finished it yet but chose to

not kill it

Also, anyone got any tips on defeating the Cockatrice bounty? I'm terrible at dodging its attacks and just die. Lots.

I don't think there's a giant "PROLOGUE OVER" text, but it ends after you leave the White Orchard.

Yeah, he shows up again.

Is he the guy who goes on about Bilberry Maid or something? If so then yeah. Bumped into him a few more times after the first in Novigrad. Spoilers for what ends up happening,

Spoiler

I met him again like, 3 times I think over the course of the game. Final time I met him in Novigrad I just killed him (he tries to take you on 3v1, and has a shield now, what a douche right?) but the dialogue had other options. So not sure how it'd go if you don't slice him in half.

 

[shinobi602]

Spoiler

Do we ever come across Keira again in the game after completing her quest in Velen?

Just a yes or no answer would do

Anyone?

Wraiths

 

[Artanisix]

"Keira has one for 1000 crowns if you haven't done all her missions"

fuck.

thanks for the help though, there's one in novidiodivagrard

 

[Dog Problems]

Anyone?

Spoiler

Do you mean beyond the main story quest involving her? Then yes.

 

[Reebot]

Spoiler

Wraiths

Spoiler

Then Letho is dead, sorry man

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Spoiler

Yeah, he shows up again.

Sweet thanks. The dialogue made it seem obvious, so I was going to be really disappointed if he didn't actually show back up!

 

[Evazan]

Oh man just the story please is the way to go with this.
It is so much more enjoyable now that I don't have to worry about the combat.

 

[mgs2master2]

Anyone?

depends on how you played out the quest and ended it

spoilers concerning it, dont read if dont wanna know. short answer yes or no depending on choices

in depth spoilers

Spoiler

if you sent her to Kaer Morehn you will see her there in Act 2. If you let her leave to try to persuade the king, you will find her burnt body in act 3. Also if you killed her in her quest, then no obviously you wont see her.

I guess it's not spoilers just to ask if anyone's seen Iorveth yet? Witcher 2 characters I've met so far are

Spoiler

Triss, Zoltan and Dandelion, Letho, Roche & Ves, and a few other minor characters, but no Iorveth yet. Considering he's 1 of the main characters, and definitely was in my play-through, I'd be disappointed if he's completely omitted,

[Papercuts]

I HIGHLY recommend people turn off undiscovered POIs so the map isn't just a bunch of ? marks letting you know where to beeline to. I'm enjoying the open world a hell of a lot more just naturally finding stuff, where before I was just placing markers and zigzaging to everything.

Are automatic finishers the occasional thing where geralt does some attack that usually decaps an opponent? How do you even do those if you turn it off?

 

[Sorian]

Spoiler

Then Letho is dead, sorry man

Wonder what else is screwed up in that save. Now I'm worried.

 

[Demoskinos]

You'll know. It makes it very obvious.

[Mangoverboard]

I get them every time if I cast axii on the enemy first. Also I've noticed them happening naturally too, always if I'm a few levels higher than the enemy.
