Not a big deal you can keep food and potions on hand. If you’re playing on either of the two highest difficulties (we recommend “Blood and Broken Bones” for a nice challenge), Geralt won’t restore his health while meditating.

Practice early in the game so you can learn the timing.

While the dodge should be your go to move, there are certain enemies, and attacks that will require a full roll to avoid, or to maneuver yourself for a counterattack. Geralt has two quick ways to avoid attacks: a sidestepping dodge, or a bigger rolling leap. You’ll start your fight with a shield and a full stamina bar, so you’re free to use other Signs. Before any major battle – or really anytime you see an enemy in the distance – cast Quen on yourself. Quen is an extremely useful Sign at Geralt’s disposal, providing him a one-hit shield against nearly all enemy attacks. So you can make the most of your time with the game and stay one step ahead of all the monsters and ghosts trying to kill you, we’ve got some more tips for you (in addition to the pointers we gave you earlier this week!).

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt offers both a solid gaming challenge and myriad activities – which together make for a seriously in-depth and compelling experience.
