I don’t know much longer I can keep playing it. There is an RPG element tied to this, with levels and skill points you can invest in bettering your character, but it really is such a grind. If you attack too quickly, the game won’t register your parry in time. However, even a perfect Parry will leave you taking a chunk of damage, which means you always need to be on the attack. There are other ways to up your stakes in battle, such as mastering the Parry. This leaves the annoying dichotomy between wanting to actually play the game, which constantly saps your coin reserves, and saving up for the best weapons and armour, which are immediately available, but cost around £50 total. If you die, you lose it all and the enemy heals back up to max. Even with the 25% off the game gives you when it auto-equips what you need from the shop - there’s a reason your companion is a merchant, not a bard.īosses at the end of quests usually require a significant investment. Coin you get by doing quests or your one-a-day missions, reward you a meagre 50 coins, while a single battle against a medium-level enemy can cost you around 120 coins. Sure, you can make them by gathering ingredients, but that in itself requires killing monsters. You’ll know why this is when I tell you that potions and oils cost money. Here, rather than making a batch that lasts for multiple battles, you simply smash it over your sword like a jock at a frat party. So, what about oils? These are concoctions applied to swords, two or three drops at a time, that help you in your fight against certain monster types. In this game, you slam potions like shots at the club, with zero toxicity. It’s as important as it is iconic, such that it is faithfully recreated in the Netflix show.
Preparation is so key to the franchise that the trailer for the first game starts with Geralt drinking a potion, the toxicity ripping through his veins before he picks his sword. This leaves you with the other two parts: oils and potions. Sadly, you left school without the silver sword, so you’re starting with one arm tied behind your back.
Witchers carry two swords - one silver (for monsters) and one steel (for everything else). First, you need to need to know what to bring to battle. If you want to stand any chance in a fight, there are a couple of things you need to do to prepare. In this game, you frequently get your ass handed to you by the monsters you fight.
#THE WITCHER MONSTER SLAYER SERIES#
They’re super-human monster slayers who left their humanity behind in exchange for a series of extremely painful (and often lethal) mutations that help them kill the monsters humans are scared of. There are a couple of important facts to know about Witchers.
