The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt |OT3| Metz Some Ploughing Good Ladies In the Forest
- Thread starter Coreda
- Start date
Okay, I just finished Baptism of Fire and I'm trying to find a detailed but brief full summary of the last two books: The Swallow Tower and Lady of the Lake. I'd like to go ahead and complete my understanding of the books before starting TW3 and I don't have time to read the fan translations, much less wait for the official English versions to come out in 2016 and 2017.
The two main English wikis don't have detailed summaries of the books, only what's probably on their back covers. Even Geralt's profiles on either wiki don't describe at all what he does in any of the books.

Bosses, like normal enemies have fixed levels. The higher difficulty just gives them better stats. The only enemies that increase their levels based on Geralt are the soldiers (Novigrad, Oxenfurt, Crow's perch etc).

Is anyone else running into this gamebreaking "can't interact with (character spoiler)
" bug after the 1.07 patch on PS4? Thankfully got through the main story bit involving him earlier on, but can't do any of his side quests now; there's an exclamation point over his head, but no option to talk to him ever shows up, no matter how many times I reload.
EDIT: Figured out a workaround...starting "A Deadly Plot" resets his location and lets you talk to him again.

Need help. Finally getting into the game and making some progress. How do I get an upgraded Steel Sword? I am stuck on the lvl 1 sword I started with. I am at Lvl 7 now and enemies aren't taking much damage. I have been to numerous blacksmiths and I can't buy or craft one. Did I miss a quest or something?
You might know this but you have runes for either armor or weapons. Maybe you're trying to put an armor rune on a weapon? Also, do you actually have rune slots on your weapons/armor?
What do you see in the crafting menu or shop menu of a blacksmith? Have you picked up any diagrams for swords?
Edit: you can loot them, and pick up better ones from fallen enemies too although they'll require repair

The first, shorter one which revolves around Oxenfurt.
I'm sure there are trophies. Big DLC's like this usually have.
No clue if I have slots or how to check. Im new to rpg stuff haha

So I just beat the game, and it sucks so damn much that achievements got borked by 1.07.
Such a great, but bug riddled mess of a game. Why I love, and at the same time detest giant games like these. So many damn bugs in em.

Hey guys, I need help against one of those Wild Hunt fellows:
I do fine against him until he starts his second fase. Then, and I partly blame the camera for this, I keep getting pummeled.
Doesn't help that I wear Bear gear and waiting for my stamina to fill up for takes ages.
So, tips?
Imerith.

I used Archgriffin Decoction for damage (does 10% damage per heavy strike, but consumes all stamina), and rolling rather than short dodges. Here is the video and you maybe able to get some ideas - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhtSnbTgD6M
Don't have that decoction, and I don't have that trap you set neither.
And your stamina fills up three times as fast as well.

Tawny oil? Took me a while to get used to the timing on his ports, just gotta learn it.
Yes. Only Triss and Yennefer.

First time I fought him, I stuck to him like glue the moment he was about to enter his second phase. Do that (requires you constantly rain light attacks on him while doing quick dodges around him) and you can kill him without ever seeing the 2nd phase. The next time I fought him while going for another ending was much easier, the alternate Quen sign might help absorbing the damage from phase 2 if you have it.
Mine's the opposite, he'll stick it anywhere.
Sorry, not understanding. Are you saying yes, now I can only plough Triss and Yennifer, or are you saying yes, now you can't plough Triss and Yennifer?
I would like to plough everyone I can if possible.

Who wouldn't.
Well, I would imagine promiscuity goes with the territory of being a witcher?

I did wonder what happened.Speaking of little details, got around to the Cat and Wolf DLC quest and liked how
the Witcher comments about the school of armor you're wearing before initiating dialog. Was wearing Feline at the time and he wondered if I was some half-breed
It's funny you mention this, discovered the Superior Northern Wind manuscript in chest off a coast in Skellige while exploring points of interest au naturel.

No, it won't. You can plough as many people as you want, so long as you don't plough both Yen and Triss.
Sorry, I wasn't being clear. Yes, you can still plough both Triss and Yennefer or anyone in particular. This will only affect your ending with them.
LonelyGreyWolf

No, again, it won't. There are no consequences to ploughing other characters, so long as you don't plough both Yen and Triss.
Just making it clear for the guy, as all your posts are a tad misleading.
I'm pretty sure that's how you're supposed to play it. Witcher 1 and 2 Geralt collected an entire gallery worth of conquests. Witcher 3 Geralt seems to have mellowed with age.
He just ploughed a whole brothel full for me bwahahaha

Cool, never checked there, no superior northern wind either.
Also never got superior insectoid oil, which was supposed to pop up in the novigrad sewers, but no go there.
Everything else is done, except Doppler concoction, because Geralt aint a Doppler murderer
.For plough's sake. My Geralt has no game.

While on the subject of locations, anyone know how to get inside this building in Novigrad? Took these screens earlier. Witcher senses indicates monsters but the doors require a key. Doesn't look like the stables that I helped
, but I could be wrong.
Also the no music bug is annoying. Experienced it for the second time since 1.07. Hopefully it resets like it did previously.

The only diagram I have for crafting is a lvl 12 Silver Sword.
No idea where to look for something lower.

Different place.
can you buy a diagram from a blacksmith?

Actually you can
plough both Yen and Triss too, with no negative consequences, if you're clever about it (in terms of timing and quests), so long as you don't tell them both that you love them. If you take that approach you'll end up with Triss in the ending.
That's part of the quest that follows Carabet, its part of the investigation. Those are
dogs
I think that's a location you visit during the
serial killer
EDIT: whoops, too slow, so I may as well post my own question: I've just started the
Final Preparations
