Big gently caress-off tree dominating the southern Velen map. Basilisk or somesuch flying around it. Any way to climb up to the tree, or do I have to wait for a quest to direct me there?

Any way to climb up to the tree, or do I have to wait for a quest to direct me there? Quest location, I don't think there's a way up beforehand. At least I didn't find one despite spending half an hour going all the way around. Closest I could get was from the eastern side, but still no way to go higher.

For the "Even Odds" achievement do I have to have potions/bombs etc. completely unequipped, or can I just refrain from using them? I unequipped my mutagens but left everything else slotted, and my oil was at 0/20 charges when I killed a wyvern. Is that sufficient?

I know that "you don't really need money", but still - which merchants are best to sell to? Also - I got all the gear for a single Witcher school (Griffin. BTW, I got a neat option to tell the Count with the haunted house that I'm from the Griffin school) and apparently that's not enough for the achiev. Do I need to fully level it? Also, how do I get back to the King of Beggars court after leaving with Triss? The merchant there had some useful stuff.

Armor to armorers, swords to blacksmiths, food to tavern owners, etc. Do you also have the Griffin swords equipped? I don't know if Steam is different than PS4 but my trophy popped as soon as I had all six pieces on at the same time.

Innkeepers also give better prices than regular shopkeepers for most of the random junk like jewelry, broken rakes, dolls etc.

That's Odrin. The same Odrin that's in TW2 and the same Odrin that's on all the notice boards. Or rather, Odrin's friend. The actual Odrin is too busy being passed out to actually sell bottles.

Uh... I think I may have accidentally sold my Griffin sword (I got a better one, so I dropped it into my inventory until I could upgrade it). Thanks, weird skipping thing that hitting spacebar does. You'd think that sorting your inventory would prevent that sort of thing but... again, wtf is with the skipping. Anyways, I'm probably not going to check every possible merchant, nor reload a few hours back. How do I activate the cheat codes, and what's the one for the basic Griffin steel sword?

You could just craft another sword. Or one of the other Witcher sets once you find the diagrams. Also, important distinction just in case: are you talking about the "Armed and Dangerous" achievement, or "Dressed to Kill"? The second one is about the top-tier upgraded sets in Blood & Wine.

Xander77 posted:I know that "you don't really need money", but still - which merchants are best to sell to? Even with the general rule that blacksmiths buy weapons for more, herbalists buy alchemy stuff for more, etc., some merchants will still rip you off. The armorers in crow's perch, for example, are awful. Blacksmiths in Novigrad will give you the best prices on your unwanted weapons and armor until you go to Touissant. For such a good game, the way you make money feels not only incredibly gamey and artificial, it also feels very spiteful to the player. I especially hate it in blood and wine that after deciding that crafting ingredients shouldn't have any carry weight, they loaded up all the containers with junk that weighs a ton and can be broken down into useful crafting ingredients.

You need a debug console enabler mod, the command seems to be additem('Gryphon School steel sword') Really though as Walrus Pete said it would be easier to just craft a new one, use addmoney(whatever) if you care about the cost.

monster on a stick posted:I'm trying the game again. I gave the Swallow potion to the sick girl, turned the drunk forge arsonist over to the authorities, and encouraged the village to house a deserted Nilfgaardian soldier. Of course those decisions will not bite me in the rear end at all. On NG+ I'm breezing past these like "lol nice k bye." "They burned down my forge!" "Huh, well that sucks. Gotta go." "She's got a brain bleed!" "Welp. Gonna kill that griffin." "Someone find my brother!" "Your brother a werewolf maybe? No? Bye."

It's a money laundering thing. He buys stuff for full price, and you buy empty bottles to give him cash that he gives you back to buy your stuff. This makes sense for some reason that I can't remember involving legitimate merchants. At least that's how it was. Dunno if they decided that was an exploit.

I only got Yen which is I assume because I romanced her (so Triss can't come), Ciri became empress (so she's not available), and both sisters lived in B&W (which means Dandeloion doesn't need to bail you out of jail.

That's hilarious On the bright side it's the only ending where Regis doesn't become a vampire pariah, since you can decide to let Detlaff go after he's had his revenge. I recommend going back and doing all 3 endings, they all have some neat unique content. Sindai fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Jun 29, 2016 |

Where are the choices for the three? I have saves ready in fairy tale land and night of the long fangs. I got the good ending and wanna check out the bad ones. I'm guessing, ones finding the unseen elder instead, and the other is not convincing Syanna to forgive the Duchess?

You can also get 1 by doing the storybook, getting the ribbon, and then just not bothering to reconcile Syanna, but that would be a waste of time.

This makes sense for some reason that I can't remember involving legitimate merchants. He buys everything for full price. Sell to him until he's broke. Then buy bottles from him to replenish his cash. Sell more. Etc. Bottles sell at full price to everyone, so then start selling bottles to various merchants until they are broke. No idea if this is still the case. Unrelated: is there a store I can throw money at to get The Wolven Storm with Emma Hiddleston, and not a cover?

So I stumbled upon Whamawham completely by chance last night, and was furiously dodging away from all his attacks wishing I didn't have to fight him. Was so stoked when he chilled out and I got to do more troll diplomacy. No swishaswunk needed  Also, holy poo poo Lambert, I was joking when I told Zoltan's friend that Witchers fish with bombs. e] Oh and the next POI I came across after Whamawam was a troll bro who I helped to make some tasty nekker soup.
