Start the game by allocating Geralt's skill points well. Focus on combat, magic signs and alchemy, depending on your preferred style of play. Balance between these skills is essential.

Complete side quests to gain experience and rewards. Often, these missions offer additional skill points and valuable equipment that make the main missions easier.

Manage your resources well. Collect herbs and ingredients whenever possible to create potions and oils that strengthen your combat skills. Healing items such as food and drink are vital in more complicated confrontations.
