Jump down and swim, there should be drowners nearby the underground entrance.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

Are these spoiler comments or not? I'm getting kind of scared to stay in the thread.

There's a cave you can swim into... near the place of power, I think.

Bring your crossbow, lol

wondering the same

 

[Sir Garbageman]

ran into a bug, one of the persons in distress things, I randomly ran into some bandits, killed them but now I cant talk to or open up a cage where this merchant is.

Having the same issue. Cleared out 2 of them but couldn't find a key. Probably will ignored them for now until we get a patch.

 

[boskee]

Diving is for casuals. I jumped over there.

 

[Salsa]

regarding that lighthouse:

guys, this game is really open world

dont think ive hit an instance where I couldnt do something yet, at all

there's always a way around

Yep, finding a way into that castle was mindblowing.

Don't listen to those guys it was way more fun not thinking of that way in and instead spend 15 min. trying to platform up the side. Lol

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Man, this Dandellion arc is boring me to fucking tears. What shit pacing. None of this is remotely interesting. I thought i was to get on a ship and visit new land. Nope. Been listening to boring conversations for 3 or 4 hours

That's fine. My problem is the constant indoor battles. The targeting sucks and the spaces are too cramped for Geralt's moves. I'm honestly starting to get pissed.

 

[Blizzard]

dont do this to me man

I don't know whether that means yes or no! D: I haven't gotten to the tree.

 

[Anustart]

Just found viper school diagrams but have no option at the dwarf to craft and can't find anything in my inventory. Is it just because the dwarf isn't good enough?

 

[VE3TRO]

Any way over here or is this story related:

If you look to the right of the bridge on the other side is a ledge. You can run and jump towards it or as others said go down and swim.

 

[Salsa]

man I know it's kinda hypocrite of me since I stated some stuff considered spoilery before but chill out about the quest details

this thread is fun, dont wanna avoid it

Yeah i could not figure it out either.

Heads up: there is an enhanced seord diagram not too far from there. Stay traveling west and stick to the coast and uncover the random marks.

Yes!

Thanks everyone appreciate it!

it gives you a choice

Is it spoilers?

Spoiler

to kill the spirit or not?

nothing of that is "right" or "wrong"

 

[RoboPlato]

Found an alternate way through. Yeah, Gwent's not required. Sorry about that.

 

[nbraun80]

That's fine. My problem is the constant indoor battles. The targeting sucks and the spaces are too cramped for Geralt's move. I'm honestly starting to get pissed.

Lol yeah those do suck in a tight space with stuff around to get stuck on. I'm glad I got the alternate igni skin leveled up, I just roll away turn to them and turn on the flamethrower.

 

[Kyaw]

Which armour set is this? I NEED IT ;_;

Is it even light armour?

 

[Skyzard]

Who is playing with markers for undiscovered POI's turned off? It makes the game instantly 10x more enjoyable for me. Hunting icons on a map is too Ubi for my taste.

Definitely, otherwise I'm just setting routes at not really exploring.

I also turned off everything that stays on the HUD permanently and some other stuff. Health and quick-access items still show up automatically during combat/not full health anyway.

So good.

Only thing I'm worried about is a post that said you needed the mini-map for horse races to see what path isn't cheating, which is okay... I guess...I'll just turn it on for that. Hopefully no other issues. Perhaps in towns or in a large house I might turn it on if I'm having trouble getting around.

Minimap is useful but it's really annoying and detracts to have it there all the time. Would be nice to hotkey.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

You guys know that huge ass tree?

Spoiler

well near the area there is an ogre or whatever it is protecting a chest]

in that chest is a great sword....I got it at lvl 7 and I still use it at lvl 13.

Is this considered spoilers?

 

[Mrg8523-]

I think this is the place that Angry Joe was talking about in his CDPR trip video.

Totally going to visit there now

Spoiler

Yes, I have the humor of a child

There were 3 farting trolls in the cave named Jesse, Joe and Dodger (Jesse Cox, Angry Joe and PressHeartToContinue). It's weird that the sounds started playing as I was originally falling.

Did you try rolling immediately after loading the game to possibly reduce the fall damage or mitigate it entirely.

No but after a few reloads the fall stopped killing me.

 

[Apt101]

I have nothing but the gear I'm wearing, repair kits, and crafting supplies + misc stuff. At 41/60 weight. I guess I should sell some stuff I have been hoarding in Novigrad. Could use the coin anyways.

 

[ScepticMatt]

dive near the place of power at the bottom

There is also a cheese way,

jump right to the left of the bridge

edit: too late...

 

[Grisby]

Witcher 4 starring Johnny

He's pretty cool.

I'd play a Ciri and johnny buddy cop game.

 

[GodParticle]

sure they're enemy markers? sometimes if a herb or point of interest is below your current elevation it will have a red down arrow by it which can look like an enemy marker.

*edit, what the other poster said as well, something it may just be an underground cave.

That's exactly what it is. You can tell it's pointing you to herbs because when you get to their level those red triangle marks disappear

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Somehow I've ended up with nearly 5,000 coin. I guess I should feel bad for slaughtering every farm animal and woodland creature I've come across for their pelt...

 

[Lovely Salsa]

funny thing is, she seems more powerful than Gerald

 

[Khasim]

Look at how friendly this guy is.

 

[Rebel Leader]

It's ok

glad I could help

Just regarding an enemy I bumped into.

Gargolyes lol, fucking superman jump into the sky.

Novigrad storyline question -

Spoiler

must have missed something, but why didn't ciri/dudu/dandelion actually return to whoreson jr with dijkstra's treasure after the heist? (prompting whoreson to kidnap dudu)..didn't menge only get his hands on the gold after they escaped from whoreson's estate and got caught on temple isle?

 

[Robiin]

Broke the 1 day playtime barrier today (I've been keeping a close eye on it, so I know it's more or less accurate), and I only just completed the quest where you're

Spoiler

down in the Elven ruins with Keira

. Have only seen the middle section of the map yet, and really only stripes of that. I've only quickly visited Oxenfurt, haven't even caught a glimpse of Novigrad. And then there's Skellige. Sooo much stuff to do!

In the exact same position. The last 10 hours of my playtime has just been exploring Velen and looking for the Griffin set. Haven't been to Novigrad yet, and the last main quest I did was with

Spoiler

Keira

in a cave with the

Spoiler

Wild Hunt

, and finding the Baron's

Spoiler

miscarried baby and burying her

. I'm afraid I'll never be able to complete this game, but that's actually fine. It looks like a summer with not many releases, so I'll play this for a long time. There's always something to do.

So, just found the

Spoiler

Griffin

diagrams. Anyone know where I can craft these swords? Need a higher level smith than I've seen yet!

 

[RK9039]

funny thing is, she seems more powerful than Gerald

I think she's supposed to be, because of the

Elder Blood

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Geralt's voice actor is good enough most of the times, but sometimes he reads some lines really, really poorly and him coughing sounds so ridiculous.

Oxenfurt's smith can do it. Bridge is closed but just swim across and you're golden

I remember seeing that tree in the distance. Can't recall where it is now though. Do you remember what general area the tree is in? Just hit level 7

 

[Turin Turambar]

Any way over here or is this story related:

While the correct answer is the one people already put in spoiler tags, I actually got it jumping,

Spoiler

a bit to the right of the raised wooden plank of the moat. Geralt grasped the border of the wall with the hands and from there he climbed up.

 

[Cake Boss]

Where the hell can I get some feathers jeeeez.
I just want normal non monster, non griffin feathers.

 

[ViciousDS]

What's really blowing my mind and I can't stop staring at them is the hilts on the sword. The amount if detail and individuality of swords is just mind blowing and it gets me exciting for each new one. Right now mine is gold and has black inlays but its just so fucking beautiful to stare at. I truly don't know how any game this year can beat witcher 3 in GOTY. It truly has raised the bar in everything that's going to be released after it. Its like how every mmo is compared to WoW. Every open world game or RPG will most likely be compared to The Witcher 3.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

maybe someone else can help

it was the only time I went out to explore the world. You have to run for your life when you get there. The thing is lvl 19

 

[Beefy]

Its geralts last game.

Spoiler

Ciri's gonna be a strange protagonist

Spoiler

They need to sort out here walking, running, dash and voice acting for me to be interested in a Ciri game.

Geese.

Also, I'm pretty sure you can dismantle monster feathers into regular feathers.

[Darkstorne]

Which hairstyles are you guys favouring? I love the long and loose look.

 

[Kamina]

Just Killed The Lord of the Woods. I was heavily outlevelled (Red Skull) but found a good strategy, some random Scoia'teal also came to support.
What a glorious battle.
Playing on Blood and Broken Bones btw.

What was your strategy? Im going to tackle this one when I get home today.

Quen and Roll Evasion.
Never stand in front of him because of his root attack, and never go close to him when he teleports.
He often stops to roar which is when you can close in and stagger hit him 3-4 times with the heavy attack, then he'll teleport and you can do it over again. Quen will help you survive when he manages to hit you.

 

[Tacitus_]

Well then....

As much as I'd love it, Ciri would be OP as fuck.

 

[Squishy3]

Stop making me feel bad that I haven't even been to a barber yet. I still haven't even been to Novigrad, I just did the first part of Ladies of the Wood last night!



Playing FFXIV and this at the same time might have something to do with it.
