10+ MORE Tips & Tricks I Wish I knew (Basics/Advanced) PART 2 - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Got more tips? Leave them below! I was waiting for a reason to make a video on The Witcher 3, and the new Netflix series showing Henry Cavill's striking performance as Geralt of Rivia (and Toss a Coin To Your Witcher sweeping the web), was a clear indicator that I should do something!

As soon as you encounter the first ghouls with Vesemir, the pop-up tutorial says that the health bars are color-coded; silver for monsters. Everyone skips those pop-ups though, because they think "I know what's going on. I know what I'm doing." Haha.

I just started and have spent about an hour on this game. I’ve spent more time reading and watching videos on this game than playing and I’m loving it 😂

So your saying I cleared the entire skellige isles without realizing I could use the crossbow while steering the boat...

[FrostFire]

80 hours in and i had no ide you change signs while blocking, thanks!

[schnebot]

torches - like igni sign can actually ignite poison gas clouds so careful with that - or use aard sign to disperse the cloud for short while first.

If you go to the edge of the map, you get a free fast travel

500 hours on Witcher 3 (GoG & Steam) and I had no idea about the controller block/change signs. I've gotten so quick at opening that menu and switching between Quen and others... I feel like an idiot now lol.

Press the "Jump" button when falling form high can save your life, Geralt roll when he lands and nullifies the fall damage

[CoffeeBrainzz]

Glad you added the Sign Switch While Defending tip. The game felt so much more enjoyable and the fights so badass after I learned that tip to help streamline the action. It’s definitely one that should have been in the real game tutorial, as well as the torch tip(so many players getting lost in caves... Oh well 🤷‍♂️☠️🤣)

[sallieblanks]

If you don’t want to use cat or a torch, use the magic lamp Keira gives you for light in the Towerful of Mice quest. You always have it as a back up and I don’t think it ignites gas☺️

Thank you!! It’s 2022 and I finally decided to play this game, so I can use all the advice I can get!!

[sinister-qkkc]

Best tip is given by the game itself. “When the wild hunt comes don’t eat the yellow snow”

[owen]

Thank you for this. Im currently level 26 on my first play through, can confirm that these tips are immensely helpful.

Great tips! I'm not a new player and yet I did not know you could use the crossbow while still at the helm of a boat! And the quick way to change spells while in combat, gosh I really wish I knew that 100 levels ago!

[darksiderRO]

I know i said it in the first tips video but, when you jump or fall of a cliff or a high place, if you keep tapping the jump button when you fall, he will do a roll animation and you wont take any fall damage.

About the Gwent tip, burning all your spy cards on the first turn is NOT advisable IF your opponent has a deck with tons of resurrection cards in it (like the Nilfgardian deck). This means that all the spies you "gave" to your opponent can be used against you on the second or third turns. It's better to wait it out till the final round, try and get your opponent to use up their decoy cards while you're at it, then make the final push with the extra cards you gain in exchange for your spies.

you forgot your surplus mutagens do not carry over into NG+ So all that stuff you've saved up, and could convert into other mutagen colours. All gone in NG+ So, if you played through the game and blood and wine. Everyone knows that red mutagens are pretty much the rarest things in the base game, until you get back to blood and wine expansion. So make damn sure before you get into your NG+ that you've unlocked those bonus slots in the mutagen tree so you can add more abilities before you get into a NG+. Or else you're going to wait a while before you unlock those 2 or 3 extra slots in the mutagen tree.

I'm using a Xbox controller on my PC and I was wondering how to switch my sings on the fly without having to pull out radial menu. Thanks for sharing this tip! :D

If you're familiar with the aerondight sword, using a heavy attack gives two charges instead of just one.

[cbar]

All fist fights can be won simply by continuously pressing the heavy attack. You may take a shot or 2 at the beginning of the fight but just spam press the heavy attack and you will win. At level 10 i can beat any lvl 30 or skull enemies no problem. They might block alot of your hits but eventually you will win. Works everytime.... on ps4 anyway.
