As in the previous games, sex scenes will play a role in the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. They will not only be used to titillate, however, but will be woven into the story, according to writer Jakub Szamalek. “It’s not just because: it serves as a tool to tell a story between characters and give another dimension to the relationship we are portraying” he explaines.

Abilities

Abilities (Skills) in the Witcher 3 can be gained and upgraded by gaining experience. The game has four talent trees from which you can choose – combat, signs, alchemy, and general. Choose wisely in which talent tree you want to spend your skill points: you will not be able to max them all out so assign points in accordance with your play style.

The various upgrades are arranged into 4 branches, each of which can be unlocked by spending a certain amount of points. To unlock the second branch of upgrades you need to spend 8 points in the first branch. Unlocking the third branch will cost you 20 points in the second, and to gain access to the fourth branch you will have to spend 30 points in the branch above it. Geralt’s skills can also be boosted with special items called mutagens.

This guide will show you all the Witcher 3 skills you can choose from, along with their effects and the mutagens that suit them.

Mutagens

Mutagens are a special type of item in the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt; they are the genetic material of slain monsters. You can use them to improve your character in one of two ways:

As the main ingredient in mutagen decoctions.

Monster Trophies

As a trained and mutated monster-slaying machine, you will be killing a lot of monsters in the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Monsters both big and small are your prey, slaying them will let you take their heads as trophies as a show of your skill or to complete a quest. This guide will show you the monster trophies in the Witcher 3, and tell you how to acquire them all.

Horse Guide

With the alleged vastness of the world in the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, horse travel will likely play a large role in getting around. Traveling on horseback is not required of course, but can make a world of difference when covering large distances between quest areas. Geralt’s horse can also serve as extra storage for all your loot.

Meet Roach: Geralt’s trusty steed. Note that Roach is not one horse, it is a name that Geralt gives to any horse he uses as a companion. This guide will give you all the information you need on horses in The Witcher 3.

Witcher 3 Signs

Signs are magic spells in the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. There are five signs in the game – Aard, Igni, Axii, Quen and Yrden, each with a unique effect and upgrade tree. Signs are not a substitute for weapons, but they can be very helpful if you upgrade and use them properly. This guide will show you all the signs present in the game, along with their effects and upgrade benefits.

Using signs will drain your stamina, so keep an eye on your stamina bar whenever you use them. You do not want to run out of stamina during a fight. Fortunately, you will receive a bonus to your stamina regeneration whenever you upgrade a sign skill.
