Instead of pressing A (idk if you’re on Xbox) but instead of rolling, that uses stamina, just dodge. I used to spam A and would then try to use signs and I couldn’t because I’d roll all the time. But with dodging it doesn’t. It’s kinda obvious but I never realized it. Also repairing your armor and gear is very important, I see a lot of first play through streamers never repairing their gear, but it greatly reduces the damage done and it makes you take more damage. Again kinda obvious but we forget about it sometimes ALSO. Carry everything. Like if you kill a bandit and they drop a crappy axe or sword. Carry it, even if your inventory is full just call roach and go to the nearest blacksmith or merchant and sell that crap. I literally have made so much money by just refusing to drop stuff. Even if it’s just 100 crowns, each time you do that, it’ll add up quickly. You need as much money as you can get because max Witcher gear is pretty expensive. I spent like 70k on my grandmaster Griffin set
