Players can find themselves pressing the buttons more often when playing the game during swordplay. Geralt can be saved from attacks and big blows by rolling. The move can help Geralt avoid sudden attacks but blocks can prevent them.
The opponent will not be open for a counter attack after a split second of blocking them. It is important to note that the steel sword is used for humans and the silver sword is best on monsters. Players may lose the game if the wrong type of sword is used.
Geralt can also cast spells to fight off enemies. The player can use the Yrden spell to trap enemies that makes them vulnerable for attacks. As for protection, the player can use the Quen sign to shield Geralt with a temporary force field.
Aside from spells, there are also potions that will become more necessary as the game continues. Geralt should not fail to load stocks of potions because different game areas can be used with specific potion types.
Before a big fight, Geralt can drink a potion that can enhance his skills or anything that the player prefers. The character can also create oils that will make his sword sharper and bombs that can put down enemies.
For fans who enjoyed "The Witcher 2," Projekt RED will release "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" sometime in May.
