Where do I get the 130 saddle bag?

 

[Warablo]

Is it worth starting a 20 hr playthrough over for the missable skull at the start?

 

[Serrato]

Where do I get the 130 saddle bag?

The armorer in the central square of Novingrad sells one. I think one in Oxenfurt too.

 

[RoboPlato]

Where do I get the 130 saddle bag?

The woman that assits the blacksmith at the Crow's Nest in Velen. Costs about 300, if I remember correctly.

 

[pahamrick]

Does anyone know where to find the rest of the

set?

I've got the Gauntlets and Trousers.

 

[leng jai]

Seriously what is up with games that make ridiculously loud noises when you die? Can't understand what the purpose is aside from trolling.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

What's up with the game fading to black for a split second every time you enchant your weapon/armor by the way, lol.

 

[kris.]

Jaysus, this game is something else. Fucking gorgeous. I'm gonna be stuck on this for a few weeks easily.

 

[Slackbladder]

Yeah, I think you get a +70 one in Novigrad. I'm hoping you can get a bigger one. With all the upgradeable witcher gear I'm carrying 160 is barely enough.

I just received the collectors edition of the strategy guide. The main guide is 526 pages and the lore journal is 96 pages. They did a really nice job on the journal. The strat guide has some really nice art and if you have ocd or plan on playing multiple times it is a good pick up.
This is my first Witcher game so it will help me out. I have a free code for the online guide. Am I allowed to share it or is that frowned upon?

 

[bryanee]

Thank god for the PS4 share button. I'm gonna upload that glitch to youtube. Laughed my arse off.

 

[Bessy67]

I just started the game and I wanted a bit of a challenge so I chose the 2nd highest difficulty (forget what it's called). What's the best way to restore health? I've just been eating bread but are there better food items/potions I can do with alchemy to restore health?

 

[Vitor711]

So. 25 hours in, and I discover you can press left and right on the d-pad while blocking to change signs.

Nice!

Wait what? 32 hours in... good to know.

Also, I asked the game not to create a TW2 save file for me. I'm assuming I'm going to get asked some questions at some point? No-ones brought up events from the last game yet so no idea if I did that correctly or not.

I believe you have to pick to simulate a witcher 2 save to get asked the questions, otherwise you get a default world state.

There's an early skill that gives you piddly amounts of regen, but as far as I can tell food and swallow. And rest for more potions to restock your swallow.

When I meditate and it regenerates my bombs, etc., does that consume the materials that it takes to make such items? thanks!

 

[CrazyDude]

Yes.

 

[roytheone]

No, only 1 alcholest to regen everything.

 

[Jolkien]

Yes.

No. It consume 1 unit of alcohol to replenish everything. (Alcohest, Dwarven Spirits etc)

 

[indigo-cyclops]

It's rather simple. Win two rounds, win a round by baving the higher score at the end of a round, a round ends once both players passed.You can win small amounts of money and ressources. There are also quests regarding special players in every region, inn keepers and a tournament. All of who naturally deliver experience. Also Qwent is fucking awesome.

I figured the goal was to win, the path to getting there seemed a bit more complex than the dice game. And like I said, I was eager to get playing. I'm sure I'll visit it again at some point.

 

[Jebral]

Yes.

Only alcohol

 

[Gattsu25]

Yes.

No.

It only uses one of whatever is the strongest alcohol in your inventory to replenish everything, IIRC

 

[Laurentius]

EDIT: Nevermind, beaten.

 

[BFIB]

Think im.going to restart. That way I can delay this game ending longer.

 

[Beefy]

Just got a load of gold for the quest

Spoiler

Swamp Thing. I asked for more gold then he had so he offered to pay me double in 5 days time. I ended up getting 594 gold.

 

[Wounded]

Balls I missed the skull too. Any word on what it actually does?

 

[zedge]

Ugh. Died and for some reason it would not load my save. Quit the game and restarted it. Now it just sits saying please wait at the title screen. Sigh. X1 version.

Crystal bird skull? Nothing

 

[KingKong]

Wow the whole Baron storyline is one of the best I played in any RPG

 

[Wounded]

Crystal bird skull? Nothing

Great. Is that for sure? My only save is way back, and I'd really rather not go back.

 

[BizzyBum]

Really loving the game so far. I'm 15 hours in and feel I've done barely anything.

One thing that disappoints me is that it seems there's not a lot of people to actually talk to in the world. Most people are "Peasants" and just have one or two generic lines. I guess that's inevitable in a game world so large.

The people have spoken! Thanks!

Well that's what it says in the game guide.

 

[Karish]

This game is among the GOAT

 

[Wounded]

Cool, I'll just carry on.

Did you start play after you used suspend/resume? that happened to me and I lost the entire session (3hours of play). Make sure when you are finished with the game that you fully quit the game before turning off the xbox. Do a cold boot, you should be able to load the game up again.

 

[Nbz]

Anyone know how to take a screenshot in the GOG Galaxy version of the game?

 

[RDreamer]

A bit of a PSA to all the people complaining about getting archers in the back and being "locked on" to everyone else: You know you can hold X (on PS4... on other platforms it's probably the run/roll button) and Geralt will no longer be locked on. You can then run to whoever you want to start stabbing.

 

[carlsojo]

Yes.

Nope just booze. I find Alcoholest all over the place too so I don't have to worry about it too much.

Yea it was suspended from last night. Will try that thanks.

This is my day, just found also enhanced thunderbolt both my go to potion are better.

 

[Phamit]

So I met

Leto

, it took me by surprise, sidequests can really have some surprises

Spoiler

I helped him and send him to Kaer Morhen

I also met

Spoiler

Roche and Vez

, but it seems like I was too early or have to wait for a mission

 

[jinxthejiv]

has anyone beat Olaf in the Fighting tournament? I just did and ohh boy he obliterated me the first try. i eventually defeated him after a lengthy battle. This game is amazing.

 

[QP3]

Yeah, that's what i am trying to figure. Seems like it shouldn't be too bad to just have/make alcoholest.

 

[void666]

Killed a bunch of

[SomTervo]

Hahahaha. So, so true.

In order to not bother my gf sleeping I started using in-ear headphone buds.

Pretty much blows my eardrums out every time I die. Back to speakers turned down I reckon.

Where did you find the quest? It is the only one I can't find.

 

[Maximo]

Just got into skellige what a beautiful setting love the accents and the Nordic setting, people don't seem to be complete pricks towards a witcher too, nice change and interesting to see the difference on how people treat you.

 

[Abstruse Moose]

Is anyone having crashing issues on PS4 when trying to pass in Gwent?

 

[Papercuts]

Wrapped up the Baron questline and man, that stuff was fantastic. The way the quests intersect and choices impact it were great.
