No. You have to put it in a slot. Once it's all the way upgraded it causes huge burn damage and will kill most humans in one hit. It's my go-to. Don't think I've ever even used aard

Yeah I didn't undwrstand what the frick quen did until I fought Geralt in that cave with Keira and was like oh shite he's using quen that's what that does lol.

At level 17 I've got 9 of 12 slots open with all 3 greater mutagen boosts so I'm slaying. I'll probably use the last 3 for the miscellaneous yellow upgrades since I haven't done any of those. Just all magic and attack with a few potion upgrades

I really need to get a move on with the main story. At level 17 and I'm only a few main quests ahead of you. Overtime is dying down a little so hopefully this weekend I'll get some legit hours in

I don't think I ever died again after upgrading quen to the health shield. It's super overpowered. Well, I didn't die (post upgraded quen) except for the times I was exposed to the insane fall damage in the game.

I played last night for the first time in months and go wrecked by the golem and Niflrager or whatever the frick his name was. I'm shitty at this game/games in general and both my swords are broken.

I'm level 12 on my play through and haven't really even started in Novigrad yet. I just went to all of the notice boards around Velen then knocked out all the missions around my level.

Novigrad is the best large scale city in video game history.

Actually feels alive whereas most cities have people standing in one spot repeating the same lines over and over. Sure there is some of that, but overall, it is easily the best large city to date.

Although I never got my bearing within the city. Even after 200 hours, I still got lost moving around in Novigrad.

How do I repair my swords without paying some turd to do it? This games cool, but there's so many damn things to keep track of.

It feels similar to the level of detail of a city in an Assassin's Creed game. It's all the more impressive when you consider all that exists outside the city walls in addition to Oxenfurt all on the same map with no loading screens in between.

Dropped the coin and made it to Skellige.

Cool place. The islands at night with the moonlight are so tranquil

I was fighting a werewolf last night and the motherfricker kept healing and whooping my arse. WTF? How do i keep it from healing itself? It was some side quest, don't remember the name. (lvl 6, btw)

I did a lot of the side stuff and ?markers but I guess I was to high a level because some weren't giving XP


I did all the question marks in my first playthrough, but I don't think I would ever do them again. The only reason I did them to begin with is because I ran into a gamebreaking bug that didn't let the story advance and couldn't do anything but side missions and ?'s for two weeks

That werewolf wrecks everyone so don't feel bad.

Using oils and potions help a lot. Most of the time you really don't need them, but I recall that werewolf really caused me problems.

Same here. I remember having to do it 3 or 4 times before I beat him. I was a lower level also so I'm sure that didn't help.

That reminds me I read something about NG+


NG+ is just where you restart your game from the beginning and the difficulty is upped a little bit.

I haven't started NG+ on my game because I'm waiting to finish the DLC's.

However, I know in Dark Souls and what not you could do a NG+ and your character's level stays the same and you can carry over a certain amount of weapons and armor. Not sure how it works on the Witcher.

Glad to see I'm not the only one to get beat down by the werewolf in the velen swamp near Downraven, guarding that tree with the giant heart trapped by the 3 crones.

I fought a nightwraith at midnight once just to see....poor idea. Jenny in the woods.
