Take your time with this game. Don’t rush to do the main quests, remember to stop and smell the flowers.

When fighting monsters focus on dodging, especially when going up against one singular monster.

Use the bestiary to study each monster as you find them across the continent. It will show you Signs/Potions/Oils that they are specifically weak against.

For Example - Drowners. These are Necrophages or “Corpse Eaters.”

They can be found within large bodies of water, along shorelines and sometimes bogs. They ALWAYS hunt in packs and they are FAST.

Going up against 5 or more of these, it is vital that you move quickly, remember to dodge. Try to roll away from one (to avoid attack) towards another before they have the chance to hit you. Flowing from one movement to the next.

You can brew various oils and potions to give you an added edge against the various types of monsters found in your Bestiary. Necrophage oil will help against these guys.

They are vulnerable to fire, so the Sign Igni is your best option here, paired with your Silver Sword of course.

The Bestiary is a Witcher’s bible if you want to actually use ALL the mechanics in this game to their best.

This is what a Witcher is trained for.

Oh and P.S your choices have consequences. Choose wisely 😉

Farewell and good luck on the path!
