The Witcher 3 new game plus

In one of the patches for the game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the developers added a new mode called New Game+. This mode allows the player to start a new playthrough with already learned recipes, saved equipment items and all the skills he has.

New Game+ does not introduce any new unique armor sets or monsters, as in some other games - this mode is created rather for some variety, since it allows you to develop skills beyond the maximum level in the original game and create a little more diverse builds. In addition, it relieves the player of some of the gameplay routine associated with learning alchemical recipes and leveling up at the initial levels.

New Game+ can also be used to obtain the "Witcher on the Road" achievement, which is awarded for beating the game on the maximum difficulty level. Despite the fact that the level of opponents in this mode increases in proportion to the player’s level, this is still much easier to do than in the original game due to the presence of a whole pool of useful skills and potions.

About witcher equipment in New Game+

Keep in mind that various armor and swords will have to be collected anew (it is called legendary in the New Game+), starting from the weakest to the grandmaster. The weakest set of legendary equipment has better characteristics than grandmaster equipment. And the strongest version of equipment is called, accordingly, the legendary grandmaster set.

All elements of armor and swords are in the New Game+ in the same place where they were in the original.

How to develop a character in New Game+?

The original game puts the player in a fairly strict framework, limiting him in the number of skill points that can be obtained. After all, in order to unlock high-level skills, you must first spend a certain number of points on the entire class of skills as a whole. In New Game+, these restrictions are removed, since for the second playthrough of the game you can score approximately the same number of points as in the original.

What does this give us? And this gives us the opportunity to put together a fairly unique build, which at the same time will not be weak. Let's look at one example that is closest to the classic build options - for damage.

Fencing and alchemy - the strongest attack build

Main slots

ViewNameViewNameViewName
Vortex Accurate strikes Body memory
Determination Immortality Razor blade
Shackling Blows Lightness of feet Deflecting Arrows
Metabolism control Cat School Technique Killer courage

Additional slots

ViewNameViewName
Acquired Fortitude Synergy
Tissue mutation Refreshing drink

All leveling in the proposed version is built around the main fencing skill, which is called Vortex. It allows the witcher to fly through enemies like a hurricane, leaving behind heaps of chopped up bodies. But in order for the bodies to be chopped up, you need to take the right skills. Please note that the Vortex spends your energy exactly until it is completely used up. The skill then begins to quickly consume adrenaline points.

We will accumulate adrenaline, so necessary for the Vortex, with the help of skills Razor blade And Determination. A controversial skill can be called Immortality, which replenishes health points with adrenaline (since adrenaline is constantly being consumed), but this choice can save our lives at a high level of difficulty from an accidental error.

From the fencing branch, in addition to the Whirlwind, those skills that increase the damage from a quick attack are also required, namely Accurate strikes And Body memory. All the rest are quite optional and are taken to enhance the attack with Big red mutagens. Instead, you can gain several much more useful skills from alchemy, receiving some damage reduction and at the same time many other useful bonuses. But this build is not about that.

The main skills from the alchemy branch here are Acquired Fortitude, expanding the threshold of intoxication (later an additional skill gets to it Metabolism control- this will allow us to drink four decoctions at a time), Synergy, enhancing the effect of mutagens, as well as Killer courage, allowing you to quickly gain a high probability of critical damage.

Adding to existing skills Tissue mutation, we will get 4000 health from above. Refreshing drink, which restores a quarter of health when using elixirs - this is a classic for survival. After acquiring the last skills, thin Geralt becomes not so thin anymore.

Alternatives: what can be replaced with what here?

ViewWhat are we changing?ViewWhat do we change it for?For what
Deflecting Arrows River of WrathFor fun. River of Wrath uses the energy needed for Whirlwind and the adrenaline needed for Whirlwind, making the overall build less effective, but much more interesting. The River of Wrath skill allows you to use Signs of the second level, and opens up a different side of gameplay for the swordsman.
Deflecting Arrows Lethal Precision With the Lethal Precision skill, you have a chance of killing your opponent in one hit, so your overall offensive ability will be stronger. The problem is that the one-hit kill mechanic itself is pretty dull. In addition, the skill will only give +2 points to the increase in adrenaline.
Immortality CounterattackImmortality itself does not look as good as it could next to the Whirlwind, which consumes energy and adrenaline, despite the fact that you will gain adrenaline very quickly. Instead, you can rely on alchemical skills and potions, and stuff something to your taste into fencing, for example, Counterattack.
Refreshing drink Hunting instinct I don’t know if the developers will ever fix the bug related to the fact that the instinct skill does not work properly and always adds 20% to critical damage instead of 100%. The gaming community did this with their own hands - there is a mod lying around the Internet that fixes the bug. If you have installed it, then this skill is required.
Refreshing drink Contempt for pain The refreshing drink makes the witcher almost immortal, but when used in conjunction with Fast Metabolism. There was no place for fast metabolism in this build, and, in addition, we did not take Increased Resistance, which reduces the overdose threshold, so the Contempt for Pain skill will do the best job, increasing the overall amount of health.

But, alas, the game does not have such a delicate balance, and even in this situation, this alternative will be weaker than Refreshing Drink, since the latter restores a quarter of health from the current maximum value, and Contempt for Pain works with the base value of health.

Tissue mutation Contempt for pain You can replace it, but it's not necessary. Four decoctions give us 4000 health, and Contempt of Pain gives us a little less. That's the whole calculation.

Mutagens

All mutagens are designed to increase attack. Red mutagens, which give this effect, are the least common in the game.

Mutation

Euphoria- one of the best mutations to increase damage, if not the best. An analogue from fencing - Blood bath, is not a competition, since for it to work it is necessary to dodge all blows. If you choose Bloodbath, you will no longer be able to insert alchemy skills in place of additional ones.

Blades

Blades, of course, can be taken from the armor set that you have chosen in order to receive a second level bonus for wearing the entire set, or you can prefer the option with more damage.

Cm. And swords in the game The Witcher 3.

Enchanting Blades

dissection significantly increases the radius of the Vortex, around which this build is built, and in the game this enchantment looks quite impressive. But Inspiration gives a significant bonus to attack. Decide for yourself what exactly to choose.

Cm. in the game "The Witcher 3".

Equipment

The Cat School Armor gives an increase in basic attack, and the Manticore School Armor increases the amount of critical damage. But on average the attack is approximately equal. Here you need to choose according to your taste, although personally I prefer Manticore.

If you choose the Bear, you will receive more adrenaline and protection, but less intoxication and, as a result, damage from Euphoria, and also lose bonuses to a critical hit.

Enchanting equipment

If you chose a Manticore or any other armor other than the Cat, then to receive a bonus from the skill Cat School Technique you need to make the entire armor set light, which is what enchantment is for Ease. If you are already wearing a light armor set, then choose an enchantment to suit your taste.

Decoctions

ViewNameDescription
Devil's decoctionPrevents enemy attacks from knocking down the Vortex
Decoction of water womanSignificantly increases damage at full health
Ekimma decoctionAllows you to replenish health during an attack, which goes well with the use of the Water Woman
Troll decoctionInserted here for even greater Witcher survivability due to Tissue Mutation and damage due to Euphoria (and when using a troll, your health will not drop, despite four activated decoctions)

There are many useful decoctions in the game besides those listed above. All of them are described in a separate article.

Cm. in the game "The Witcher 3".

Just recently a small update was released for the game. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which added one interesting twist to the game. If you finished the game and didn't like something? For example, you got a bad ending, but you wanted a great one. Perhaps you want the bloody baron not to die. Or you didn’t meet Summer, but you wanted to. Perhaps, in the hunt for achievements, you just want to beat the game on the maximum difficulty level? So, now there is a good incentive to replay everything with your old equipment, level and skills.

How to start a new game plus in The Witcher 3?

If you have downloaded an update containing this mode, you will need to resave first, because... The new game supports saves that were made after its release. To do this, simply load your save and save. Next, go to the main menu and click “New Game”. First, you will be asked to import saves from The Witcher 2, then do you need training, and then the third option - On/Off new game plus.

What is carried over to the new game plus The Witcher 3:

  • Your level (if below 30, it will be 30)
  • Armor and swords (including various schools, such as bear, cat, griffin)
  • Recipes, ingredients, drawings and materials for crafting
  • Money

The plus does not transfer to the new game:

  • Books and letters
  • Trophies from monsters
  • Quest items
  • Cards
  • Places visited

Having decided start a new game plus in The Witcher 3 you will be pleasantly surprised, because... the developers have made sure that you have in your bag Potion of Purification, so you can immediately reset skill points and try something new.

By the way, to make the game seem even more unusual, we suggest installing free DLC, such as an alternative image

Truly, there is nothing more disgusting than these monsters, disgusting by nature, called witchers, for they are the fruits of disgusting magic and the devil. These are scoundrels without dignity, conscience and honor, true fiends of hell, only adapted to murder. There is no place for people like him among respectable people. And their Kaer Morhen, where these dishonest people nest, where they do their vile deeds, must be erased from the bosom of the earth and the trace of it sprinkled with salt and saltpeter. Monstrum or The Witcher description.

Oil painting: "Geralt of Rivia"

Hello, dear readers of this post.

Today I decided to write this article, and it will talk about survival tips and Geralt’s “BUILD” in the game The Witcher 3.

Builds, as well as playing styles, are full.

"Alchemist"- very common, but very demanding on the level, since the entry threshold is very high in terms of points)

"Mage"- for those who like to use colossal damage from Signs

"Swordsman"- in other words, a swordsman and grunt, one of the most recognizable.

I described these builds in more detail Furrion, please read (many thanks to him):

They all vary greatly, and each is unique in its own way.

I will look at my style of play, my build, since it is very rare in the game, and there are few similar to it, the so-called "HYBRID BUILD". This means mixing skills from different branches. Sometimes it is called "universal".

Special thanks to the player with the nickname wunder.. It was he who showed me this way of playing.

Now questions will immediately fly, and the most important one is “why”? Why are you going to write some nonsense now, buddy? We have all played this game for a long time and more than once, we know everything, we can do everything, and there are a bunch of these builds, each one is described inside and out.

Yes, I partly agree with you, but this is a description of my build, my passage, which I picked up through trial and error, which helped me beat the game in the "To Death" mode.

Question number two: why put such complexity? I answer, for pleasure and complete immersion in the harsh world. After all, it is in this mode that you will be able to learn all the books, bestiary, oils, elixirs and decoctions, you will understand that a simple bandit is not a stupid piece of meat, but a fighter who will reflect 60 percent of your blows and 100% slap you on the head. This is not a simple “clicking on enemies” with a mouse or gamepad, here your Geralt cannot withstand a ton of blows from evil spirits, in this mode everything is serious! This is the Witcher!!!

"THE ROACH MOVE"

P.S. There is a lot of money in the screenshots - the result of Geralt’s manipulations and unnecessary movements in freeplay.

P.S.S. All those in the know are asked to stop reading this post so as not to cause the hair on the head to move. Thank you.

"A GAME"

Paragraph 1. We set the desired difficulty and begin, and we start as a hungry man, as the dwarves say, with a bare ass. Somehow and carefully we will get to the tavern in the White Garden, immediately stock up on food, and begin collecting grass from the fields along the way. We will still need it, and food is our life, because it is in this mode that meditation sends us over the dragon mountains and does not replenish HP, and we see such a wonderful picture.

Tips for the "Death to Death" mode in the game "The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt"


Tips for the "Death to Death" mode in the game "The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt"

Clause 1.1. Set autosave for 3 minutes. There are moments when you have played well, it seems that there are no barriers, you relax a little, and that’s the end.

Clause 1.2. Save before each quest, before each group of enemies or some important, in your opinion, action, preferably in different cells. On PS4, the number of save slots is limited - this is where you need to get twisted and prioritize saving data.

Point 2. Any NPC is dangerous (up to level 5), the enemies hit hard, and Geralt has almost no health. The battle with random drowners may drag on and require a replay. Don't pretend to be a hero at this stage of the game.

Point 3. It’s only hard up to level 8-10, yes, yes, because we really don’t have anything, no leveling up, no weapons, no armor. Then it will go much easier, as if the difficulty was rolled back one point (it feels like)

Point 4. Don't forget about Places of Power: you can run up, use it and die, but it's better to use a Place of Power and run away (each place of power gives 1 skill point, provided that you used it for the first time).

Tips for the "Death to Death" mode in the game "The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt"


Tips for the "Death to Death" mode in the game "The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt"

Geralt meditates at the place of power in the White Garden

Point 5. First, complete all the side quests in the location and only then proceed to the main quests. This way you will collect maximum experience and by 90% avoid “white” quests, for which you usually receive 1 experience point. And I will not describe the entire route, because there are wonderful articles on this subject that I wrote Elle.Follow her amazing posts and you will be happy (thanks to her for her efforts).

P.S. In any case, you will receive a ton of experience for the main quests.

"BATTLE"

Point 6. Actually, when we have the very first skill points, we will begin to gain strength. The entire build will focus on HEAVY blows, Quen And alternative Aksiy.

I recommend spending the first points specifically on leveling up the blue branch: the Axii sign (for dialogues), the alternative Axii and Quen (Quen first of all: sometimes my hands also get wrapped in a donut and I get hit in the neck, and Quen will not only save you from 1 hit, it will also throw back the enemy in response (sometimes players fundamentally do not use this sign, considering it “cheating”).

You shouldn't rush into the red line, it won't help much in the first stages of the game. (Although you can distribute it in the way that is most convenient: first, a couple of skills for attacks and a couple for Signs, nothing really critical here.)

"INVENTORY"

Point 7. Are you still collecting weed from the fields? Great, go to sellers and herbalists, loot everything that catches your eye, buy recipes for elixirs. When you get hold of a Swallow, consider it done. Over time, we will completely give up food in favor of two elixirs, such as "Swallow" and "Raffar the White's Potion."

1) Martin

4x Necker's Heart

Clause 8. Use sword oils. At first it will be unusual (long), but with the updated interface in patch 1.20-1.21, finding and using oils has become easier.

Oils are a mandatory attribute of every self-respecting witcher. When used against monsters of the right type (or people), they significantly enhance the offensive properties of your blade, also giving different effects depending on the Alchemy branch skills taken. Study the bestiary before fighting monsters.

"The most commonly used oils":

1) Hanged Man's Poison

Use other oils depending on the situation.

IMPORTANT: Oils, bombs, elixirs can be ordinary, improved And excellent, that is, they can be improved by finding recipes, accordingly, the benefit from them will increase (as well as their performance).

Clause 9. Bombs... Bombs are auxiliary tactical weapons in The Witcher 3.

They are very useful both in tactical terms and in the case when your damage from swords or signs is not enough to kill the enemy. Bombs also have 3 stages of improvements.

I used 3 bombs from the very beginning:

1) Buckshot

3) Dancing Star

Creates a large fiery explosion at the point of impact, which damages and has a chance to ignite enemies in the area of ​​effect.

1x Saltpeter

Clause 10. Do not neglect the Decoctions from the monsters you have killed and do not be greedy on their recipes, and also do not chase the head of a “succubus” or “Doppler” so that you have all the decoctions in your piggy bank. From this, your Geralt loses karma and self-respect, but in the end you will still use a maximum of 3 decoctions or just one, otherwise you will die from intoxication.

IMPORTANT: Decoctions cannot be improved.

What kind of decoction do we need?

1) Katakana decoction

Increases critical hit chance.

1x Krasnolyudsky alcohol

1x Verbena

2) Decoction of water woman

At maximum health, the damage dealt increases.

1x Krasnolyudsky alcohol

1x Mutagen from Doppler

1x Bezmer

3) Echidna decoction

1x Krasnolyudsky alcohol

1x Echidna Mutagen

1x Berberka Fruit

1x Skorocel

4) Troll decoction

Restores health during and after battle.

1x Krasnolyudsky alcohol

1x Troll Mutagen

1x Crow's Eye

IMPORTANT: For the decoction from Troll, many thanks to the player under the nickname Suepan. I forgot about it myself, but I’ll definitely use it in the new game.

Note: There are many useful decoctions, some are narrowly targeted at some effect, but I personally use only these three, subsequently using only the echidna decoction.

"SKILLS"

Clause 11. Are you level 10? Then we invest skill points in the heavy branch. There are many builds with fast attacks, but I wasn't interested in it. I decided that it was better to hit once hard than ten times lightly.

Heavy blows are good because they cause colossal damage, cause bleeding more often and cause critical hits (literally a song). But we can’t do without the light strikes branch - we invest skill points there too. Sooner or later we will reach the skills “Rupture” (for single targets) and “Whirlwind” (for those moments when there are a lot of enemies and there is nowhere to retreat). Rupture is such a powerful blow that destroys any enemy armor. It is more effective against single targets (with huge damage).

"Hybrid Build". Heavy branch of blows + 2 light blows, Signs.

Clause 12. The conduct of the battle and its style will be as follows: we run up to the crowd (any crowd), drink a decoction from Echidna, use Quen and switch to Axiy, zombify the enemies, wait until they either kill each other or seriously injure each other, if you are tired of all this , we burst into the crowd, a heavy blow, a rebound, a blow and a rebound again. And so on until victory. When we get hit in the neck, we retreat and use Quen until all our HP is restored.

The fight with Imlerich in my performance - one of the most difficult bosses in the game!

This video also proves that you can safely enter the “Hearts of Stone” and “Blood and Wine” DLCs without fear of getting hit. You can even run like this for fun, and nothing will happen to you for it.

Very important: I did not consider the mutations from the new DLC “Blood and Wine”, because I never used them throughout the entire game. Mutations will be most useful in NG+ (which, unfortunately, I don’t really like and always start playing from scratch)

"EQUIPMENT"

Tips for the "Death to Death" mode in the game "The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt"

Tips for the "Death to Death" mode in the game "The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt"

Clause 13. Equipment. You can use any swords, but collecting armor is better than the Cat School. And yes, up to lvl 10, run around in Temerian armor (you can buy it from the comrade you saved from the griffin at the beginning); up to lvl 20, you can safely collect Cat’s clothes while in Nilfgaardian armor, which are bought in Vronitsy.

You may ask, what is the Cat School equipment for? Heavy blows are more suitable for the "Bear" school, but I don't agree with this stereotype. The Kota set gives advantages to swordsmen, and most importantly, it is light armor that replenishes energy faster. And since strong blows spend more energy, we need it to be replenished faster.

We will be constantly on the move, and constantly deliver 1 or 2 heavy blows.

Also, even in such a difficult mode, you will be able to kill “monsters” that are several times higher than you in level. For example, this little animal fell at the hands of the White Wolf, a glorious Witcher who wields heavy blows.

If you considered what I described above to be idiocy, then it doesn’t matter, guys, don’t get into a fight, don’t drink elixirs, play Gwent, gentlemen, especially since our website has a wonderful article on this game from the authors Lady_Beatrice

As we already wrote, the New Game Plus mode will be the sixteenth free addition to the game (that is, the last). The DLC is now available on Xbox One; PS4 users in Europe can now download it, and tomorrow owners of this console in North America will be able to do so.

We can’t say anything about the release of the add-on on PC yet. This is expected to happen this week.

We also note that most of the new mode is contained in patch 1.08 - this explains the fact that, in fact, the addition that brings it to the game weighs quite a bit.

In this post, we have collected information about which items will be available in New Game Plus, and which ones will have to say goodbye, as well as data on what the player will be able to change before starting his new journey in the world of The Witcher 3. And what will automatically change in world of the game after it starts.

What will be carried over to the new mode

Full experience points, character level.

If you don’t have time to level up to level 30, they will pull you up to it (in “New Game +” this particular level is the minimum; as in a regular game, there is no maximum - level up at least to 200, if, of course, you can)) .

If your character's level exceeds this indicator, you will start the game with the level to which you were able to upgrade Geralt.

Your character build (skills, skill points in full) will be saved. Skills and mutagens placed in slots will remain there.

Equipment in the Inventory, including armor sets that you managed to get during the game, rune stones and glyphs.

All equipment for Roach.

Components for alchemy and crafting (but herbs will not be transferred to NG+).

All recipes and drawings that you have - but only basic ones.

In the new mode, you lose all drawings and recipes purchased or found during the passage The Witcher 3 - you will need to search/buy them again.

Quest items (for example, the magic lamp and medallion given to Geralt by Keira Metz; here are some other examples of such items: chest keys, phylactery, potestiquisitor, devil bait).

Cards for Gwent (including those purchased from vendors).

The difficulty level of the game can be changed before starting the game.

Markings on the map, including fast travel points. In New Game Plus mode, the game universe will need to be explored anew.

Glossary entries regarding monsters and characters.

Contracts - you will need to look for them again on the Notice Boards.

ABOUTworldThe Witcher 3New Game Plus

As reported by users who started the game in NG+, the level of all requirements for tasks, enemies, etc. the developers added 30 more. For example, level 6 enemies in the new mode are now level 36.

None of the decisions made earlier in the game will be carried over to NG+. You have to go through the entire storyline from the very beginning.

Places of power will be located at the same points. They will give you an increase in the power of another sign - not the one that was in the “standard” mode.
