Shades of the Ctrl-Alt-Del Puzzle Quest comic…

How do you find your next question objective easily and quickly on the world map?

How do i easily destroy monster nests? I can’t find the correct ingredients for the bomb needed

How does one heal while in combat? I keep dying… level 6

  1. You can’t. You have to pan around the map and look for the yellow dot marking the location. The mini map does have an arrow on the edge to show what direction it is.

  2. You need the bomb, but I don’t recall where I found the ingredients and formula.

  3. Open the inventory screen and consume a healing (called Swallow) potion. You can also assign it to a quick inventory slot and use it with the up or down arrow on the d-pad for the controller, or whatever hotkey is assigned on the key board. There is a skill to allow Quen to heal you when it absorbs damage, one of my favorites. You need a bit of skill points before that becomes available though.

  1. tab key (or whatever it’s equivalent on controller). You didn’t know that Robc04? I also love the V key, it allows you to pass to a newly discovered quest without having to go to the journal, and switch between different quest points in the case a quest has several of them.
  2. Any of three different bombs will do. Give it time, eventually you will find ingredients to craft all of them, then you can return back to the nests. Remember you can always buy herbs for the herborists or alchemists if you just miss one or two ingredients.
  3. Swallow potion, Raffard potion (I think it was that one), eating lots of foods while being combat. But mostly but being careful and trying to not get hit, that way you don’t lose lots of hp :P. If you are playing in Nomal, you can meditate between fights to heal back.

  1. tab key (or whatever it’s equivalent on controller).

Left thumbstick. Just discovered it by accident.

4088

Not a huge fan of the new font size on PC, but I’ll get over it.

4089

Heh, when you are done white orchard, you are maybe 1% into the game.

4090

No, but I’m happy to know now! Left thumb stick is even better since I’m using a controller.

4091

Just when I was starting to see the seams in the fetch quests, they throw another great one at me with excellent characters, writing, and voice acting.

“Pretty good” might not cut it.

4092

Sometimes you can use Igni (fire) to destroy a nest, when you don’t have the right bomb.

4093

Be sure to explore well White Orchard, as the two Viper swords and a few Places of Power that are in WO will help you in the first hours in Velen.

4094

Not 1%, according to the game, my 12 hours in White Orchard got me to at least 4%, maybe 5% done. I made sure to explore every question mark and quest and nook and crany I could find. The only thing I didn’t go after were the Gwent cards the barkeep sold. I never had the money after crafting and armor and weapon repairs. Even after selling all 20 or so Honeycombs to the herbalist over time didn’t get me enough money to buy Emerald Essence, which I’d need to do the better steel sword recipe and the silver sword recipe I found that were way better than the swords I am using.

I think I found everything else besides those Gwent cards in White Orchard before moving on.

4095

I had a marathon session today after work. Three hours in a single day! I completed the White Orchard and transition segment after that.

It seemed you had played 3 hours, not 12!

4096

I am using Xbox 1. Left thumbstick just scrolls around the map.

I zoomed out and cannot find where I am supposed to go… I have to locate the Baron’s wife… no marker is on the map.

4097

Try clicking in the left thumbstick? I haven’t tried yet myself.

4098

That part of the quest doesn’t get marked on the map… minor spoiler:

It’s tied to part of the main Velen quest line (finding the witch that Ciri quarrelled with), so just do that and you’ll eventually locate Anna.

My gwent deck is becoming quite amazing, hero cards are so so sweet when they win you the hand. Been so sidetracked in game, I probably should push on into Act 2.

4100

Hero cards are a bit too much. They make sense because Gwent is just a mini-game inside a bigger game where you progress steadily your decks as you buy and win new cards, but if one day they release a standalone version of Gwent they would have to nerf the heroes. When you have lots of them they make weather cards obsolete which is a bit boring.

4101

Have to agree with this, I haven’t lost a game of Gwent in ages. I suggested they they should adjust the values of hero cards slightly, limit the number of hero cards you can have in a deck and make weather effects halve their numbers instead of not affecting them at all.

4102

Yeah, that’s basically what they should do. Weather cards halving their strength instead of being immune (or dropping to 1) is a fix I also had thought. It would be a decent compromise.
