GiGi Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Alternatively just leather the shield with power attacks until it breaks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I've done pretty much everything in WO now. Can't select crossbow from my L1 menu with the magic signs for some reason so haven't been able to kill the underwater drowners at the last ? I have on the map. Read online that you can swim past them though. Only have 2 bombs so will have to leave one monster nest intact and can't find the key to the windmill, will do a google search for that tomorrow. Once these are out of the way I'll leave WO to continue with the main quest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you meditate then any bombs, oils and potions will be replenished and use up one bottle of alcohol from your pack (alcohest, dwarven spirit, cordials etc). As for the crossbow I'm not sure it works with menus on console but I'd unequip everything from your spare item slots then re-equip the crossbow alone. See if that helps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll destroy all those nests then. Read online that other people had been having the same problem with the crossbow and to try unequipping/re-equipping I can't use it in the same way I would a magic sign even though it's part of that wheel menu when I press R1. Apparently that windmill door can't be unlocked and there's a lot more like it later in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I've just done the wedding in the HoS add on. Hilarious! Got pumped too, as you should. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Although B+W is easily the better DLC, HoS is underrated. The entire main quest line in that is gold. Wedding like you say was brilliant, and it only gets better from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The heist quest in HoS is really good as well, made me think of GTA V when you pick your squad for it, with in-game consequences depending on the guys you end up with. Actually the main story quests in HoS might be the best ones in the whole thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Without spoiling, it was the last run that really stuck with me in HoS. At the house. It was something competely different to what had gone before in the game, and there were a few wonderful moments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Completed HoS the other night, Master Mirror is one creepy fck. Started BaW yesterday as far as meeting the vampire guy after I lost a battle. Feels like it'll be good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Just ventured to skellige at level 19. Jesus it ramps up difficulty in some parts. Some of the creatures id be ripping apart with ease in velen and novigrad seem to have my own level added to them and doubled in numbers. Couple of near deaths taking them on. Poison shooting ones are a particular b*****d 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Way down in the list of free DLC there's a New Game Plus one. Lets you restart with all your gear minus quest items, at the level you finished at, but everything has been ranked up in terms of required level. It's absolutely brutal so far, each fight is a real battle. Reached level 55 by end game last time, and most enemies I've found are at least 61 so far in Velen. Going to try and complete the game one last time before I finally leave it behind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightscamera Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 So I picked this up the other week. I'm not far into it at the moment. Have almost hit level 3 and have completed all of the parts leading up to the Griffin, is it recommended to be a few levels above what I am before attempting to kill him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Yeah I'd say so. If you have time, get ready to be completely lost in this for weeks, months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are going to love this Tbh I've only played a few hours and am loving it already anyway! One thing I'm not keen on is the swimming, I've banished a noonwraithe from a well but after I'd jumped into the well it took ages for me to get back out again, it seemed that every time I started swimming in the right direction I ended up turning around and going back the way I'd just come from 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not keen on it either. Drowners when swimming are a pain as you end up facing all the wrong ways and almost drowning.Also not a fan of the horse riding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) The one weakness the game has are the horses. Still don't control quite well enough, and often just stop for nothing. Still, they have improved things from release, more than other developers do. Just playing through the Bloody Baron quest line again. What a masterpiece that is. Reached level 59 I believe on New Game Plus, it's becoming quite difficult to level up further, having some absolute wars to get through fights. EDIT: I had no idea that the Baron questline had two different endings Previously I've always got the one where he hangs himself, which is really the only way they can trump their absolutely miserable story up to then. This time though I didn't do any of the stuff with that haunted tree thing and just killed it, which apparently led his wife not to be fully cursed by the witches and be taken away for healing by the Baron. Nice that even after hundreds of hours on this game, you can find something you haven't seen before.

lightscamera Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Very probably a stupid question, but after the Griffin has been killed and you are preparing to leave White Orchard, do you get to travel back there or do you have to have cleared all of the Side Quests 1st? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
