An Impromptu Witcher Lets Play - now with the Witcher 2!

[BathorysGraveland2]

Garkains I believe can be found behind the hill that the cemetery is sat upon. So on the opposite side from where the path begins, beneath the ruined bridge. At least, this is what I remember. I could be wrong. They will also only appear at night.

And yeah, it's always god damn fire in these games that drag the framerate down. Unfortunately, you can't have battle without fire, so.

 

[Norrdicus]

I'd like to mention something. It seems to me that the boxing minigame is broken. Badly broken. I found during the inn matches that if I just clicked constantly, I would win all matches, no matter the skill of my opponent. It is slower with the old man "best boxer in the world" but it still works. Actually, I found that if I clicked on him more slowly, his HP dropped faster.

The mini-game is even easier in Witcher 2, which is a major bummer. I'd have preferred some Fable style regular unarmed combat

Did I really just finish this whole chapter in two days?

Well, if it means that one can get to the awesome epilogue sooner, I think I can live with that

Garkains I believe can be found behind the hill that the cemetery is sat upon.

You are correct!

This isn't enough for a proper (or interesting) update, but I'll go ahead and mention what I did today.

I slept until dusk, then headed to the Swamp. At the Cemetary, I bumped into Grakains at the gate - and a named one. I got the Saliva and a head for the Huntsman all in one go. So I headed over to the Druid cave to drop it off for loot and XP. Then I headed back - they respawned so I killed them again. Weirder yet, there was a whole mass of Bruxia farther up with a named Bruxia! After killing them I took that head to the Huntsman as well. Awesome!

I took Kalkstine his saliva and got rewarded for that too.

And then I went back to Raven's tomb and did some grinding. I am now level 40. I discovered that, after clearing the dungeon (for aprox 25k XP each time), I could sleep at the fire for 20ish hours (until the next midnight) when everything in the dungeon respawns, and then do it again... and then sleep again... and then clear the dungeon again. I de-equipped my anti-wraith talisman to make it more interesting - now the Wraiths attempt to murder me. This makes them more of a threat, but also makes killing them much faster (since I don't need to chase them down anymore).

After doing this for a while, I headed back to town and sold 50 Flender Fangs to Kalkstein (as well as 50 wing membranes and some Ectoplasm - sadly he won't buy Death Dust). And then I bought all the strong alcohol Kalkstine had for sale.

And checked the Dwarven Blacksmith and Dwarven Quartermaster for strong alcohol as well, but nether had any.

I wanted to restock my potions, but there's no more alcohol to do it with! I had enough to get up to 9 Cat potions (strong on Rubido) in my inventory, but not a 10th, and I'm down a White Gull as well.

Is there anywhere I could go for more strong alcohol?

Well, if it means that one can get to the awesome epilogue sooner, I think I can live with that

So I should stop grinding and just advance the plot, huh? ^^;; But I want to make it to level 50 and unlock all those cool Gold Talent abilities!

Though to answer one of your earlier questions, yes, the Raven's Armor's stats depend on your faction. Scoia'tael get you a sign user's armor, The Order gets you a tanky physical one, and neutral route gets you an armor in-between (naturally) with some stat resistances as extra

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

Booooooh!!!

I like grinding when it's fun. Murdering Wraiths, Flenders, and Basilisks is fun because they're still fairly challenging - and still give good XP.

 

[BathorysGraveland2]

I wouldn't bother grinding, honestly. There is a hell of a lot of fighting to go around before the game's end, so you'll get your chance at leveling up. You won't need the gold talents anyway, you should be strong enough now to deal with what's ahead. Have you made any potions that increase your resistances to stun and blinding?

 

[Norrdicus]

By the way, Witcher 2 is 60% off on Steam for 21 more hours if you don't mind having that version instead of GOG or retail

Edit: though I've heard you can claim a back-up copy on GOG if you give them the CD-Key from the Steam copy

Nope. Mostly concentrated on Wolf, Wolverine (with Albedo), the Vitality ones (with Rubido), Swallow potions (with Negrido), Blizzard potions, and Cat potions (with Rubido) for seeing in the dark. Also, I have a couple of potions that I found and haven't ever used (or made more of) that no one wants to buy, so they're just sort of sitting around in case I need them.

Oh, and White Gull, which is what I do with any 3 slot alcohol if I don't need Cat potions.

So I could make some if you think I need to.

I wasn't really grinding because I NEED to... more like I was grinding because it's a fun dungeon to delve and I didn't want the ride to be over.

However....

A little late to ask, but does it matter where I get it from? Will the Steam version recognize the save filed from GOG?

Because I just bought it on Steam (60% off sealed the deal) and am currently downloading it, and if I need to stop downloading this version, delete the files from my HD, and redeem a CD-Key at GOG, then I'd rather do that before downloading 14 gigs of game.

Currently at 8%....

 

[Norrdicus]

A little late to ask, but does it matter where I get it from? Will the Steam version recognize the save filed from GOG?

Should be no problems. It did work the other way around for me (Steam TW1 -> retail TW2) so it's just a matter of copying your completed save file folder to the right location, if you even need to do that, which I assume you won't

Okay then.

Download at 33%.

And yes, due to request, I do plan to move directly into the Witcher 2 after I finish the first one (and I will continue posting it).

Here's a question - should I start a new thread, or keep posting in this one? Thoughts?

 

[Norrdicus]

Yay!

Well, I'm for continuing on this thread, but changing the thread title a bit once you start posting Witcher 2 stuff. The edit timers on these forums are exceptionally long.

I'm suddenly getting eager to continue my 4th playthrough on Dark Mode (hardest difficulty without perma-death).

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

Just finished installing the Witcher 2.

Quick question. I don't want to start a New Game until after I finish the Witcher 1 (for obvious reasons). However, I booted the game's main menu just to fix the settings and make sure everything works. I was checking for things like difficulty (couldn't find), graphical options (set to Low Spec), and other such things. It all worked fine except for the difficulty setting. Is that in the New Game option?

Anyway, otherwise everything seems A-Okay.

Although I'm sad the sale was on Steam instead of GOG - I would have gotten a free soundtrack at GOG.

Edit: Also, you mentioned I could give them my CD Key at GOG. How? I can't find anywhere to input my CD Key on GOG's site.

 

[BathorysGraveland2]

Well, I ain't going to spoil anything (unless you ask), but take a friendly recommendation from someone who's played through the whole game 5-6 times and has Geralt as his profile picture. I certainly do advise some stun/blinding resistance potions. The choice, however, is yours.

 

[Norrdicus]

Yeah that's a New Game option.

Although I'm sad the sale was on Steam instead of GOG - I would have gotten a free soundtrack at GOG.

Don't feel too bad, the OST is taking a sort of generic (though competent) fantasy approach in Witcher 2, you're not missing much

Edit: Also, you mentioned I could give them my CD Key at GOG. How? I can't find anywhere to input my CD Key on GOG's site.

Right here, I believe [http://www.gog.com/witcher/backup]

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

Right here, I believe [http://www.gog.com/witcher/backup]

**uses it**

Ah! Awesome! Not only does it give me a free GOG copy of the game, should I ever need it, but it also gives me all of the GOG extras! So now I have the soundtrack and comic book! ^^

Update: The Old Manor

So, I headed into that part of the swamp, and I ended up fighting Count d'Witt, because he's the one who transformed Adda into a Striga. Oh, so satisfying. So very satisfying. Killing him, I mean. I've wanted to stab him pretty much since I met him.

Anyway, I loot his corpse and the game updates my quest with a "you should really see the King" to which I respond "yes, game, I'd fucking love to, but you won't let me leave Old Vizima, so shut up about it already".

So now... bigass swamp. I head through, picking Honeysuckle (rarest of herbs previously) and other alchemical bits and killing the occasional monster that gets too close. Eventually I end up on a far shore near a campfire with some corpses and some dude who attacks me. I kill him for 1 XP and move on. I see that the plot wants me to go up the hill, so instead I attempt to go around the side. I see a wrecked ship, but can't reach it. Sigh.

Okay, up the hill. And - it's tattoo boy. He's the big bad (so far) but I can never remember his name.

Anyway, he's undead-ified the Female Order Knight who several of you slept with instead of (or in addition to) Tourviel. Ew. Do you fight undead Tourviel here if you were with the Order, or does she die either way?

I smite her, loot her, and move on, killing a few more dudes and a fucking armored dog. WTF?!

Up the hill, I take on some more guys guarding a ruined castle - the old Manor, I assume. I'm looting corpses, careful not to agro the remaining guys beyond the gate, when I hear combat. They're fighting... someone. I loot another corpse, then get worried, so I head in and - holy crap! Where to begin?!

Yaevinn and a group of elves and dwarves are fighting giant zombies! Or... not zombies. Frankensteins? They're called "giant mutants" but they look remarkably like Gravers that someone decided to play Operation on first.

Oh, and half of the elves/dwarves are already dead, because they've been fighting without me because I didn't realize there was a battle already in progress going on.

I fire and sword them until they stop moving. Yaevinn and ONE dwarf survive the battle. ... eh. I loot the dead Squirrels (because the mutants have no loot) and then talk to Yaevinn. We chat about the battle in the city first, and then (because it is clearly the "advance the plot" dialog option) I take a moment to loot a nearby trunk and explore the rest of the island. I find a place of power near that wrecked boat.

Also, my inventory is REALLY full. I sit down and make some potions, concentrating on Willow potions since I was advised to make some. I also restock a few other useful potions (thanks to alcohol bought from the Druids and found in the aforementioned chest). That done, I rest one hour, and SAVE, and then go talk to Yaevinn.

He takes me to a "well"... which is back down the hillside near all those random critters. Lovely.

Inside, I save in a new slot, because I assume that was officially the point of No Return. I also take a cat potion because it's fucking dark, and use a Argentia oil on my Silver sword. And then I start murdering mutants. I kill my way through a group, and then arrive at a branch in the path. One goes towards the plot, the other doesn't, so I take the branch that doesn't and explore it first. I find some undead of various sorts and kill them all. I've had to reequip the anti-wraith amulet because of limited inventory space, so they're push-overs, but the vampire dudes with the saliva are slightly more trouble.

After that, I dead-end, so I head back to the branch and go the other way. I enter the Lab... and Big Boss appears and ... chats. I clicked on him, hoping I could attack him, but he just talks instead. Turns out he's got a Giant Fucking Spider, that looks suspiciously like the Queen Spider that fucking ONE HIT KILLED ME a few chapters ago. Yeah, that's not good.

Since I saved before entering the room, I run up and attack it. And... it hits me, and I only take a moderate amount of damage. Okay then, battle on. It stuns me, though, so I open my inventory and take a Willow potion. My strong Rubido Cat potion isn't really tanking this damage the way I'd like, so I down a Swallow potion as well. And then a White Raffard's Decoction. Damn this thing has a lot of fucking HP. I switch between Fast and Strong style - Fast to inflict Pain to give me some breathing room, and Strong to do damage and inflict Bleed. Oh, and I throw in some Fire whenever it stops burning to keep Incinerate on.

And, finally, if fucking DIES. I loot its body and find a special substance. Now... I could run all the way back to that fireplace at the beginning... or I could press on.

... press on it is.

I continue on, killing more mutants and mutant dogs on the way. I am also hallucinating pretty red flickers because my toxicity is rather high at the moment (even though I made the Willow potions strong on Albedo). In short order, I reach the final fight. Once again, Tattoo appears to taunt me, once again I try to stab him and instead talk, and once again he teleports away. Mother fucker. I kill two minions and THEN he teleports me to the boss fight room for the final showdown.

But first, he claims that he's captured Triss and is going to torture her. Um... I explored the whole dungeon, side rooms and all, and she ain't here. So... yeah, no. I don't actually have the option to tell him to fuck off since Geralt just does it. He also claims that the Triss comment is likely bullshit anyway. Oh good.

So battle on.

After that fucking spider, this guy is easy. He spams a Blindness spell that is a bit annoying, but whenever he does that, I just cast Fire spells over and over again until I can see to attack again. Eventually he stops blinding me constantly (he probably got tired of being set on fire) and I attack him with Strong style. This... doesn't work every well, so I switch to Fast style and inflict Pain, keeping him effectively stun-locked the rest of the battle. With my swallow potion, strong rubido, and Fast style, I end the battle at full HP. Fuck you, guy, and your dead spider too.

I loot his body for more random crap, including a book on how to harvest stuff from those mutants I was just killing. A little late, game, but whatever. And then I click on a mirror.

And learn that the Rose Knights leader is behind the whole thing! Which makes sense, since d'Witt was the one who turned Adda into a Striga. Well played, assholes.

I assume that the big bad is Yaevinn or some Squirrel leader above him if you sided with the Order? Or is it always this douche?

Anyway, Geralt smashes the mirror and... just sorta teleports out of the dungeon. Kay. What was the point of that exit near the crypts then?

Yaevinn offers to take me back to see the King. I agree, follow him to the dock, and then rest at the fire. I make the special potion (and a few other potions as well to restock), rest, take the potion, and then rest again to spend my Gold talent. I spend it on the final level of Group Silver since I bought Group Steel last level thinking I'd be fighting human Salamanders rather than mutants that dislike silver. Now all my styles in both swords are fully upgraded. Yay!

I take the boat with Yaevinn and talk to the King. I give him the info and he offers me 8k gold to kill the guy I was going to kill anyway (Geralt asks for 11k, the King haggles down to 8). I like Geralt's comment here "I'm not an Assassin... er, I mean I'll do it for 11 thousand." Well played, Geralt.

Dandelion was around a moment ago... does he have my storage? There stuff in there I want.

Also, I found a TON of yellow meteorite in the dungeon. Is it too late to go to a blacksmith and buy a new sword? And, if not, will it be better than the two unique swords I'm carting around?

Anyway, this is the Epilogue, and I had other things I need to get done, so... that's it for today. See you next time for the exciting Epilogue! And possibly forging a new sword, we'll see.

 

[Fuhrlock]

I assume that the big bad is Yaevinn or some Squirrel leader above him if you sided with the Order? Or is it always this douche?

It doesn't change in the order or neutral routes it is just some cirmstances that change... it will make sense why as you progress through the epilogue.

Same here, it was a delight to rid Count Twit of his head

Anyway, he's undead-ified the Female Order Knight who several of you slept with instead of (or in addition to) Tourviel. Ew. Do you fight undead Tourviel here if you were with the Order, or does she die either way?

You fight undead Rayla either way

I also take a cat potion because it's fucking dark, and use a Argentia oil on my Silver sword. And then I start murdering mutants.

Actually, the mutants are weak to steel weapons. You might have picked up "Experiment Notes" at some point in Chapter 5, which should have added their info in your bestiary

I assume that the big bad is Yaevinn or some Squirrel leader above him if you sided with the Order? Or is it always this douche?

It's always Jacques de Aldersberg. Siegfried and many of the knights turn against their scheming master rather quickly if you've sided with The Order

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

Really?! I thought if my medallion was twitching, it meant to use Silver. Well crap.

Then again, since Excalibur has +60% damage, and the oil gave me +60% damage on top of that, I was probably making up the difference anyway.

The mutants weren't dropping any alchemical loot, so maybe I didn't read it? I just added several kinds of mutant to my journal after killing the boss dude.

Also, I'm kinda shocked that the head of the Order is the big bad either way. Actually, that makes me feel like I chose the "right" side.

Finally - Rayla dies even if you're her ally and have sex with her? That's gotta be a downer. Does Geralt react at all in that case?

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

The Epilogue

I talked to Dandelion and accessed my storage. FINALLY. I moved some crap over there, moved some other things over to my inventory. At the time, I hoped that the fact that they kept giving me Yellow Meteorite in the final dungeon (and money) meant that I'd be able to USE that meteorite and money to, you know, have a blacksmith make me a new sword with it. Apparently not.

Never mind.

Okay, so onward. To... Siegfried! Who is evil now, apparently. I kill him and loot his body because... it's an RPG, damn it. Looting is instinct.

I head through a house, meet some NPCs from earlier, all of whom I chat with. Then onward, through a monster filled basement, onto the street again, and into another house, and on through the sewer. There I..

... I fight a fucking KRAKEN.

What the hell?! Did someone buy a baby Kraken and, when it got to big, flushed it down the toilet? Why is there a gods dammed Kraken in the sewer?!

Whatever. It's tentacles are hallariously weak to fire, so I just Igni once to clear them, and then strong style its face until it dies.

It should be noted that, in preparation for the fight I downed a Cat with Rubido (for sight and healing) and a Wolverene with Albedo (for awesomeness and to keep my potion toxin down). Add on a Swallow mid-battle, and I was well prepared for this fucker. The battle certainly wasn't easy - it was a long haul - but I never felt very in danger due to massive regen.

I collected its loot, and a nearby corpse contained a scroll of "making this monster into Gold talents" so I do so at the nearby fire, resting one hour to make the potion (and to restock the potions I just used) and then another hour after I take it to distribute the talents.

Outside the sewer, I talk to some nurses. One wants a healing potion, so I give her a Swallow and she... teaches me about monsters I already know about. Lame. Another one asks for two alchemical items I don't have on me, and haven't seen for a while. I check around the area, but there's nowhere to get any, so she's shit outta luck.

At this point, I'll mention, I've seen a sex card for the nurses. Does Geralt really stop mid-final dungeon to boink the nurses if I have those alchemical items, or did I miss that earlier in the game?

Anyway, onward. Yaevinn gets PWNed by some minions outside the Order HQ, so he taps out and I have to go in alone.

There are a pair of fairly friendly guards who don't try to kill me until after I talk to them. I save (and there's a fireplace in case I want to make potions) and then head inside.

And the Leader of the Order talks about stuff for a while. Prophesy, the end of the world, various nasty shit. And then he takes me on a magical mystery tour to SHOW me. Apparently we're in Game of Thrones now, and Winter is Coming.

And yes, I realize that this predates Game of Thrones, and that GoT is probably ripping off the Witcher.

Geralt kills some critters and asks (eventually) asks the big question: what does this have to do with the plot of the game, stealing Witcher secrets, and all that crap? And the answer is... ...?

The guy wants to move people south. Okay. What does that have to do with his plan? He wants to make... Witchers without emotions... so they can survive on the ice... which he's planning to avoid....

Huh?

I understand his plan. I fail to see his logic. If he moves south, won't he AVOID the ice age? Why does he need to have Witchers who can keep doing their job in the ice age if he's going to dodge it.

Also, aren't there people ALREADY living in the warmer southern lands? Sure, he wants to preserve HIS culture, but don't they trade with those people already? Couldn't he just, you know, take a bunch of loyal followers and just move now? Maybe take a big ol Library with him to preserve northern culture?

For that matter, when things start getting cold, won't everyone ELSE go "hey, let's move south" ? Or is this going to be a Super Fast Ice Age? And even if it is... couldn't people pack up some food and flee south even after it starts snowing? They do have Winters here. People could escape after things started getting sucky. They aren't going to degenerate overnight.

Anyway, crazy-McCrazy teleports to the top of a mountain and Geralt has to walk there, killing minons on the way. And, incidentally, chatting with old friends. The Triss in Geralt's Mind shows up to help him with support spells and lightning bolts. Abigale shows up and tells Geralt that the monsters he's killing are the future humans. Her "great grandchildren". Um, Abigale. They are harry APEs. It would take far more than four or five generations to actually TRANSFORM into ape men. I could see angry cave men, but they'd still LOOK human, even if they were crazy. This appears to be hundreds of thousands of years in the future if we have full on Ape People.

Anyway, Abigale is happy I didn't murder her earlier, so she gives me some potions. So do several other NPCs, like Toruviel, whose name I've been mispelling for ages. Some of them give me random buffs, like flaming swords. Siegfried appears and is a mini boss fight - apparently with the same stats from the last time I killed him.

Finally, we bump into Adda. She agrees to join the party, and just as I'm jokingly thinking she'd be hilarious as a Stirga, she turns into the fucking Stirga. OKAY. I was kidding, but apparently Geralt has the same sense of humor I do and this is his idea of funny.

A bridge collapses, we fight some dudes, and then Triss is like "that as far as we can go".

... WTF?! We just got Adda! She only got to help for one damn fight! Oh well, never mind.

I don't bother resting. I do, sadly, notice that all my potions have expired. So I reup Willow, Swallow, and Wolverene and then head in.

Much of the above data dump actually happens along the trip and here, but I did it earlier to save time.

Anyway, I tell him to surrender. He refuses. Battle.

He summons a TON of little fire elementals. Which sucks for two reasons.

1) I can't just set them on fire.

2) They slow my frame rate down because there's a lot of them and they're on fire, and fire is the bane of speedy gameplay.

I swear a lot, and go Group Silver style, and ignore the boss who is really hurting me to concentrate on killing these fuckers. And, a White Ranford Decoction later, I do so. I switch to Strong (leaving it on silver because I noticed that with my +60% potion, I do better with it than the Steel sword even on people) and I wade into him. I have to take another healing potion before the end, leaving me with red floaters as I poison myself, but with great effort and timing (and fire, now that I'm no longer fighting fire elementals) I take the fucker down.

And the Wild Fucking Hunt appears. And he wants the guy. Um... no? My prey.

The Wild Hunt doesn't take kindly to that and challenges me to a duel.

I'm buffed up on potions, still in Strong Silver, and have both Swallow and Rubido tanking my HP. And my anti-wraith salt is still equipped. I set him on fire and rip him up so fast, his summoned minions don't even have time to do mroe than stand around ineffectually.

THAT was for walking away from me earlier when I tried to boss fight you! Jerk! Haha!

After that, I turn around and stab the Big Bad. He blows away my steel sword, so I use my silver sword. He protests that the silver sword is only for monsters. Which is HILARIOUS since, in game, I used the silver sword on him the ENTIRE BATTLE.

After killing him, I appear back in the cloister of the Rose Knight HQ. Dandelion shows up to tell me I've been in a coma, and just came out of it. Yaevinn was watching me, but he just left to go into hiding.

I thank Dandelion and loot the Rose Knight commander. I get back the Witcher Secrets... and a medallion. Weird.

I go talk to Dandelion some more, and Geralt says it's the same sort of medallion he gave to Alvin. Almost identical, in fact, but far older. Geralt seems to think this is an odd coincidence.

....

......

So Alvin traveled back in time, joined the Rose Knights, had a vision about the Winter coming, and was the Big Bad?

And, when I joked about Alvin being the final boss, I was RIGHT? Pfft! Hahahahaa!

Although that still doesn't explain why Triss went all OOC on me. There was never any indication in game that Alvin was mind controlling anyone. Or the Big Bad, for that matter. So I maintain my WTF for Triss's OOC behavior earlier. Even if Alvin really was the final boss.

There's a little graphic-and-text epilogue thing where apparently nothing I did mattered. The King dicked over the Elves later, and the Squirrels got pissy again, and everything ended up back where it started. Great - way to make the player feel like they accomplished something. Ah well, I guess they wanted to a Status Quo to revert to for the Witcher 2.

And then, in a weirdly different art style, Geralt goes to the King to get his cash. And an assassin murders everyone until Geralt stops him by cutting off his arm. The King and Geralt peer at the assassin... who has Witcher eyes.

Dun dun DUNNNN!

To Be Continued...

Wasn't I supposed to be able to save my final data to upload into The Witcher 2? Or will the game just know?

A "final thoughts" post will follow.
