Each time Geralt drinks potions they increase the toxicity level of his body. Once the player creates an unknown potion he can choose to drink it, but if the potion is a failure it will poison the character. The recipes for these potions can be learned through scrolls, or by experimentation. The player can create potions that increase health or endurance regeneration, allow Geralt to see in the dark, or provide other beneficial effects. Both of Geralt's main swords - the steel and silver ones - have distinctively different combat styles from the rest of weaponry, and serve very distinct purposes: where the steel blade is used to fight humans and other flesh-and-blood beings, the silver one is more effective against supernatural monsters and beasts (against some of which steel may have no effect whatsoever).įor the main article, see The Witcher alchemy.Īlchemy is a major part of gameplay.

The quest portion of the journal tracks Geralt's progress as he takes on and progresses through the many quests in game. Some of these entries contain clues to help devise an effective strategy, for example detailing a monster's strengths and weaknesses. As Geralt learns about formulae, monsters, characters, places and so on, new journal entries are added for future reference. The in-game journal tracks information from a variety of sources. Geralt's body, where weapons, armor, jewellery, and up three quickslots to are kept or worn.įor the main article, see The Witcher journal.The trophy slot, where Geralt can keep one trophy head at a time.It also has a sort button and a set of very handy basic substance filter buttons.
