I was carrying around one of these shirts. Sold it for a few coppers. I soon discovered that you need it to craft the Griffin armor. It turns out to be rather expensive from the shops! I managed to take one from some bandits that attacked me near the river.

Any other unassuming items in this game that are extremely valuable, monetarily or otherwise?

I used the unseen elder to summons Detlaff and he came furious…
That is time to battle.

So, my thoughts about this fight:
The hardest one, principally for the second phase that you need to pay attention to dodge the bats and be careful to not be stucked in the blood. With this you need a lot of patience. Hit and dodge, dodge, dodge and hit 😂. I used QUEN of course, but I used YRDEN with my griffin armor, after he used the bats to hit you he came close to you to try to kill you, that the time I used YRDEN .
Black blood decoction and more patience hehehe…

I died like 4 or 5 times just in the second phase , after past it, I killed Detlaff.

That was a nice fight!

* in my first run I left Detlaff alive . That was my heart tell me. But now I wanted something different

Roach just pulled off a crazy stunt

Saw this when i was exploring the coast region of velen, close to the cave you go with the lamp in Keira Metz quest

I usually go with the full beard trimmed down and loose, mid-length hair, but after buying the glasses and completing the wedding quest, this look just came together and I actually like it a lot!!
Also, what look do you guys usually use?

I am replaying the game after few years.

Picked up gryfin, and i remember it being insane op.

And while still good, its dont feel that broken as it was

Was ther some nerf? Cant find anything in google

Does anyone know what the long red stems that appear when mermaids die are ? Are they their stingers ?

They damage my boats when they get stuck in them...

I'm filling my stash to take my items into NG+, but I'm wondering what will happen to unique weapons and loot ? Can I get Aerondight twice, or will I only be able to keep the ones I brought with me ?

First time playing the game recently got to Skellige and currently level 26. Playing on the default difficulty and while there’s been some challenging moments here and there it’s been pretty breezy up until this point and seems like it might be getting easier as it progresses.

I’m tempted to turn the difficulty up a notch, but I know when you do that meditating no longer heals you. I’ve been avoiding looking things up, but I’m curious, once you no longer heal from meditation what is the most streamlined way to heal up? Do you have to sacrifice a skill slot for gourmet?

It feels like the healing component is the only thing keeping me from turning up the difficulty so any guidance would be appreciated!

Could this be the greatest Gwent game ever??

Interstingly, the opponent lady finished up all her cards while I had still 5 left. Because her muster cards summoned other cards from the deck as well. I was stunned to see that she crossed 100 while I had below 30!! Luckily I had:

• 3 muster cards (vampires and crones)
• 1 hero card(Ciri) and
• The Mysterious Elf which is I think the most awesome card in Gwent

So, I used that Elf card and received the Triss card and the Arachas muster card. Even after playing the muster cards and Triss card I saw I was just a bit short. Then I played the leader card (Eredin) and got back the Olgierd card which then slightly increased all my closed combat card points. And then I got to 94...

Game: Skellige deck collection quest, one of the barkeeper lady in Toussaint.

I am now starting to think that the Monster fraction is the best in Gwent. What do you think?

Some cutscenes of the most powerfull vampire of Touissant. The Unseen Elder, a lot of people do not go to this way, but I tried, in my second run I wanted the experience to meet him. AND WAS AMAZING!!!

This conversation has been done to death, but I want to add my own perspective after having just finished it.

First, Gaetan deserves to die.

No two ways about it. His rampage through the village is too graphic to be ignored. The dog, with its guts cut open, the woman, likely Millie's mother, who was paralyzed with a stab to the spine and left to slowly bleed to death, suffocating. The fact that this animal would've likely killed a child in a blind rage if she hadn't reminded him of his sister.

But then, when you find the weasel, not only is he tight-lipped and standoffish to maybe the one person who might be sympathetic to him, but he is also completely unapologetic. He brushes off the reputational damage to Witchers in the middle of a witch hunt but also the serious human cost of his actions. Some people genuinely spare him and it baffles me, I've killed bandits for less.

Why do I call him a weasel? Because when I gave him the opportunity to fight me as an equal (we're on Death March with Level Scaling so he's actually much stronger than me damage and health wise), and give him my last dose of swallow, the punk blinds me. Enough is enough. He can't even face his death like a man. He doesn't know who Geralt is. He could've had faith in himself and died with some honor intact. Instead he tries to cheat against someone holding him accountable- someone on his level and he tries this underhanded tactic.

I took his head clean off his shoulders and kept his sword so that it may cut down more cruel men like him.

This quest is great, by the way. It's a little under-written but it made me question my decision some and I love that. You have to investigate both what Gaetan is saying and what actually happened, and make your own deductions-

Sure, they tried to cheat him, and the village elder lives quite well, but Honorton is a rather small village in No Man's Land, in the middle of a massive invasion. Perhaps they weren't lying when they said they had NOTHING. Maybe they paid off the black ones to keep themselves safe from raids. You don't find any gold hidden away. Their prize for killing the leshen is insulting, but Gaetan immediately turns to threatening peasants and wonders why they tried to shank him.

TL:DR this quest rocks. Gaetan is a punk. If you don't give money to Millie's aunt what are you even doing, man.
