I always always go through everything. It takes much more time but you end up way way ahead usually because you won't need to go back anywhere for anything.
Pedagogical pro tip: don't use directions like left and right or say "first", "last", etc. unless there is only one possibility. Not just here, but in many places, someone will say "go into the first buildding on the right", but for me it's the last building on the left because I came from the opposite direction. It's more useful to say "when coming from the east, go into the first buildding on the right".
3:42 I didn't know you needed to read the damn map to unlock those fast travel points. GAAAAWD fr i only like accidentally read two of those maps. I had to manually travel.
Look closely at that cutscene. They shot that scene so early into development that it's still the old playermodel for Geralt, and Novigrad is only in early development, unrecognizable to the actual harbor you see in game upon release
They speaking with Irish accent because Skellige islands (in games and in books) were modeled after Ireland, Scandinavia and Scotland. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skellig_Islands
Dude, wow, all the hours i put in the game, never knew you could get your 1000 crowns back, thats amazing, its always such a pain having to pay that much, it hurts but so relieving that you can get it back, nice
I didn't know about looting the captain. Went back and his body wasn't there. Can't rem looting him either because everything was still there to loot so I do think he does disappear eventually.
Help me please. I'm stuck in trying to get to Skellige because the Captain is dead on the floor at the Golden Sturgeon. I meditated, I went back to all of my older saves but it doesnt help. Doing other quest and returning does nothing. I'm stuck.
Wish I had seen this video yesterday, just did the opening part on skelligge without knowing could get the 1k back and went back to novigrad to do some stuff there before saving for the night. Just gone back now and as others have noted. Captain corpse gone. Still thanks for the tip as also didn't notice the place of power when was there last night and 1k at this point is a small drop in the ocean. Least I'll know if do future playthroughs.
Damn finished the first quest and then watched this lol. Can't seem to find where I even started but reading one of the other comments doesn't seem you can get your coin back after leaving that part :/ ah well I had like 6k crowns anyway but still lol
"[...] they all speak with Irish accents, but they have sort of viking costumes. Very strange." I recommend everyone who finds this strange to look up the Norse-Gaels.
Yeah the Skellige Isles always reminded me of the Hebrides. Like Skellige the Hebrides were known for being difficult to navigate (hence all the shipwrecks) and for being unruly. Different Islands ruled by different Clans, some islands shared between two or more. All Lords (lairds) in their own their own right and frequently feuding, fighting, raiding and marrying between one another.
@@MenWhoStareAtGames honestly, I don't really get mad at spoilers lol. I kinda hate those guys who tells you they won't spoil you when you literally ask for it lol. Like come on, the reason I'm asking is because I'm curious, i want to know, and want to get ahead as i follow many, games, animation, etc. that knowing a few things, heck even the whole scene doesn't bother me.
I loot a lot I am sick of it and have to wish don't come across a loot don't want to spend another hour looting all around. I hate caves for same reason so much to explore and don't even know if you miss somethings there i hate missing things and also they are like maze sometimes annoying I think I just hate feeling of being trapped.
I know its 2020 but i still play this good game and i already missed this mission where you have to pay 1000for a map..and now no way to go skellige...plz help me...
But i lost my powerful silver blade when i take this quest? Wtf??? They just took my sword and give me a default sword from beginning with low atk point
Nice. Thank you for the tips. When i got there i was thinking how can i go to every island becaue it was surrounded by water. I’ll go and buy the map to the merchant. And also i didnt saw the captain behind the boat. I hope he is still there
how the fuck do I leave skellige and go back to the main place? every quest I still have to do just sends me to a fast travel sign.. although it doesn't let me travel back :(
Ah You may have an active quest OR could be a bug its worth reading all the comments on this thread as well: steamcommunity.com/app/292030/discussions/0/523890046883411837/ I like the load a save file from before skellige then load skellige again suggestion. I hope it helps :)
hey tyvm for the feedback but I figured it out lol, I never realized how to go into the world map, like to change locations ;p was only lvl 10 at skellige
Does this only work with this captain or any other ship that sails to skellige? Cause I have a side quest to interrogate some dude in skellige. Will be my first time going there and i found other ships
You where level 19 when you sailed to skellige? Shit I played normal and I was only level 10 thank god te captain took out all the mercenaries becasue they where way to tough to kill at that time.
Thanks for the info. Now, you always recommend to stop buy at every merchant in case there are these maps ? or something else ? I'm looking for general advise...am only level 17 did not play much. Thanks !
Its the Feline set. You get it by doing the school of the Cat scavenger hunts. I would recommend trying to get the bear school gear though. It is heavy armor, and so it provides a lot more protection. You get it in Skellige, but you need to be level 20 to wear it. So it doesn't need to be something you do right away.
@@MenWhoStareAtGames no lol like I had just done the boat wreck and I searched the area. I found his body and everything. I didn't know it was the captain but my money wasn't there. Idk I guess mine just did something and it didn't show up
The amount of detail is amazing in this game...
+Kieffus So true its beautifully made!
well holy shit beat this game 3 times and never knew you could get that money back lol
+chaz Davis Thankfully a mate of mine told me otherwise I would have neve known lol!
+MenWho StareAtGames sry but your conversations are literally like lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol..... LOL
chaz Davis i found out by exident... xD i fell off a cliff and landed right on that body xD
haha brilliant :)
Im a cheapstake and looted that are for a quite a while and got rid of the nest too so thankfully got the money back on the first go 😂
didnt know you can loot that captain thanks for the tip!
No problem :)
What if I've gone up and done part of the mission if I go back will it be there?
Daniel Martin Nope
I couldn't find the captain behind that ship.
I always always go through everything. It takes much more time but you end up way way ahead usually because you won't need to go back anywhere for anything.
I like how they hide the body. Saying, in essence, if you’re thorough and observant you will get rewarded.
Went back to the crash site and the captain is no longer there! :(
Ah that sucks!
Boris Bezstrss Nah I just looted him today.
@@therealborka nope still in the game things like that don’t get taken out of single player games I just did it earlier today
Damn I went back also and mine wasn’t there 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😭
Me either
the amount of loot that comes with the shipwreck and how its all the exact level of the area makes it such a good starter kit
Finally playing this game and really appreciated this tip and vid.
I'm on the island now, and btw OMG! The MUSIC!! What a beautiful game in every way.
Only just discovered this on my 2nd playthrough all these years later. Many belated thanks!
The Witcher franchise got me through school. God Bless!
I thought from the title you were saying go to Skelligre first.
Oh I see - yeah sorry, I can see why you thought that now you mention it!
I just walked to Skellige
While I found the captain and looted EVERYTHING at the crash site I only bought one of the maps, so thanks for pointing that out. Next task: maps!!
+Steve Anderson no problem Steve really glad it helped :D

lol i missed to much at the begining i did not even saw that place of power and the captain. so many thanks
no problem!
Look closely at that cutscene. They shot that scene so early into development that it's still the old playermodel for Geralt, and Novigrad is only in early development, unrecognizable to the actual harbor you see in game upon release
ah good info I didn't know that but now you say that it completely makes sense, I guess it was the concept art version
Thx. This game is soo huge! Incredible.
I’m just glad I got my 1,000 crowns back
They speaking with Irish accent because Skellige islands (in games and in books) were modeled after Ireland, Scandinavia and Scotland.

Ah many thanks! I love your avatar as well lol!
Just got to skellige. Thanks for the tips! Quite helpful indeed.
No problem glad it helped
Found a barrel deep under water that requires a spell (Axii) to opened but I cant seem to get it done...
Dude, wow, all the hours i put in the game, never knew you could get your 1000 crowns back, thats amazing, its always such a pain having to pay that much, it hurts but so relieving that you can get it back, nice
I didn't know about looting the captain. Went back and his body wasn't there. Can't rem looting him either because everything was still there to loot so I do think he does disappear eventually.
same here
Yeah sadly if you leave the area his body disappears, so you have to do it straight away
Help me please. I'm stuck in trying to get to Skellige because the Captain is dead on the floor at the Golden Sturgeon. I meditated, I went back to all of my older saves but it doesnt help. Doing other quest and returning does nothing. I'm stuck.
I told myself that if we crashed. And the captain died, I'm gunna look for my money. Sure enough, he was the last thing I found. But I found him.
Just got to Skellige and it looks beautiful. Thanks for the video, although Im very late.
Great video, subscribed!
definitely need that rope ladder, lol. Good tip though! I always loot as much as i can. Breathtaking game! Im happy about the money back lol
lol - no problem and glad you enjoyed it :)
Skellige is wonderful, as Time passes it actually becomes better and better.
Agreed! Its a great part of the game
They place the red head of the boat right in your view line too, because i remember walking right by it lol. I guess you live and learn.
Loved the vid Like and Subbed nice work
We have been spoiled with this game, can’t wait to see what cd project red does with cyberpunk
what armor is the one you have equipped?
So helpful, thanks! I didn't know about the maps.
No problem glad it helped
I reckon the non upgraded feline gearset is designed specifically for this part of the game, it looks so pirate-ish
What armor is that?
Where is d location of jacket u are wearing plz tel
Lol I did all of it when I arrived to Skellige on my own
Nice one - you have a gift lol!
Great vid! Thanks for this.
Wish I had seen this video yesterday, just did the opening part on skelligge without knowing could get the 1k back and went back to novigrad to do some stuff there before saving for the night.

Still exploring those islands
I can imagine! I really need to get back to this game - I'm thinking of playing the PC version!
The captain one was worth it thanks
what's that stylish armor you wearing and how to get that ?
I don't generally prefer fast travel...this game is so good y fast travel
lucky that I looted all the items including the 1K crowns in the crash site before i went back to novigrad. Feelsgoodman
:D - nice lol!
going back for my 1000 coins lol (thanks for the tip)
No problem Ricardo - I hope its still there...
MenWhoStareAtGames wdym still there? Does the capt body dissaper after a certain time!?
Galactic Onions lol finished the game 2 month ago i get 100k coin just from selling sword and armor in toussaint :)
Damn finished the first quest and then watched this lol. Can't seem to find where I even started but reading one of the other comments doesn't seem you can get your coin back after leaving that part :/ ah well I had like 6k crowns anyway but still lol

Who cares if theres spoilers im gonna find out anyway lol
hehe yup! someone had a go at me for it so I added it to the title!

whats name of the intro song?
Is their any way of getting into the captain's quarters on the other crashed ship (the one with the siren nest) or is that just permanently locked?
Hmm I really dont know, let us know if you found a way I'm sure others would like to know :)
Hey man! great video! I was wondering what armor you were wearing? thanks!
Thanks! So long ago I'm so sorry I coudn't possibly remember which armor this is!
TheGadgetStatus I believe it's the Cat school gear, Feline armor and sword set
I know its 2020 but i still play this good game and i already missed this mission where you have to pay 1000for a map..and now no way to go skellige...plz help me...
I remember this those flying shits attack you if im not mistaken, i missed the place of power :/.
Time to replay this masterpiece 👍
But i lost my powerful silver blade when i take this quest? Wtf??? They just took my sword and give me a default sword from beginning with low atk point
Bought all 6 maps and they didn’t unlock everything. Now I have to reload a save. Ugh this game I swear.
Nice. Thank you for the tips. When i got there i was thinking how can i go to every island becaue it was surrounded by water. I’ll go and buy the map to the merchant. And also i didnt saw the captain behind the boat. I hope he is still there
I hope so too! I don't know if he is still there if you leave the area
how the fuck do I leave skellige and go back to the main place? every quest I still have to do just sends me to a fast travel sign.. although it doesn't let me travel back :(
Ah You may have an active quest OR could be a bug its worth reading all the comments on this thread as well: steamcommunity.com/app/292030/discussions/0/523890046883411837/
I like the load a save file from before skellige then load skellige again suggestion.
I hope it helps :)
hey tyvm for the feedback but I figured it out lol, I never realized how to go into the world map, like to change locations ;p was only lvl 10 at skellige
ah ok lol understood :)
got the game super late ;p. surprisingly tho I am way better at it now :D, I'm addicted lmao its the only game I can play now xD
I need help! I went to skellige super early! I’m only level 8. I didn’t know they would be so high level. Now I don’t know how to get back!
Just fast travle back to another place
Dude it says on the world map what the recommended level is for each area
On this island is the wolf armor quest right?
Pay the Captain 1000 gold, ship crashes, Captain is dead, get your 1000 gold back. I showed this part to my wife, she had a good laugh.
Does this only work with this captain or any other ship that sails to skellige? Cause I have a side quest to interrogate some dude in skellige. Will be my first time going there and i found other ships
how do i get back there? i went back to Novigrad to do more side missions. 😄
As long as you discovered a signpost while you were there you should be able to fast travel back there from one in Novigrad :)
Very helpfull, Thank you
You're welcome!
Did this get patched or something? Just playin through now, had to come back to this spot after doing things and there is no body there.
Ah if you leave the area and come back the body disappears 😐
I know im 5 years late but what armour type you wearing?? Do u remember?? I like the sleeveless look
I think it was the first set of cat gear but they may have changed the design from the original
Will the body and coin be there if I’ve done a couple of quests already in Skellige?
Sadly not 😔
Cheers man!
Likeable guy straight to the point sub from me 👌
You where level 19 when you sailed to skellige? Shit I played normal and I was only level 10 thank god te captain took out all the mercenaries becasue they where way to tough to kill at that time.
Gage Groff I'm level six and I'm there now I keep dying
Ryan Jets Wtf, lol. Get your ass back to Velen and Novigrad and do the quests. I was level 21 when I went to Skellige.
Can someone tell me the accent of Menge?
i've go to skellige before completing the main quest (get junior). what should i do? :( plss help
nothing it does not affect anything you can always get back for junior
"All speak with Irish accents"
They sound more Scottish than Irish honestly.
really? - I still think its a strong Irish accent but ok
Dwarves sound scottish. Skelligans sound irish.
I think it is Irish
is it worth wear some full witcher armour or get another, heavier but better?
Can I ask a soundtrack list?
Sorry about that - the song is "You're In Trouble Deep - Anders Bothén" I think its the dubstep remix version though!
Oh actually I had already added it to the description, thought I was going mad lol: You're In Trouble Deep Remix - Anders Bothén
Do you have to be a certain level to get school gear armor ?
Never thonk you could get your gold back, much thanks.
Thanks for the info. Now, you always recommend to stop buy at every merchant in case there are these maps ? or something else ? I'm looking for general advise...am only level 17 did not play much. Thanks !
If your into Gwent, yes stop by a merchant and also bartenders. They have Gwent cards and sometime maps for witcher gear or treasure
I went back, an his body not there.
Yeah I heard that if you dont claim it at the time he disappears which sucks sorry mate
What song are you playing?
Should I come here early so I can get these Gwen cards early
Eternal Fire Take you all
hahaa
The night is dark and full of terrors o-o
i did not know that, certainly going to find that bastard and get my money back
I came back but the captain's body is no longer there. I want my money back .
what the armor you got on?
Its the Feline set. You get it by doing the school of the Cat scavenger hunts.
I would recommend trying to get the bear school gear though. It is heavy armor, and so it provides a lot more protection. You get it in Skellige, but you need to be level 20 to wear it. So it doesn't need to be something you do right away.
Avarickan thanks alot I'll work towards it
My coins not there
This game is incredible. I wish the combat was done like in Sleeping Dogs.
I loved Sleeping Dogs!
what end did you had?
Yeah, fine, but how do you get to Skellige?
Oh wow, didnt know this :D
What?!?! I'm playing this game at the moment and I literally just looted that body and my money wasn't there😅
It can happen if you already left the area apparently? sorry about that
@@MenWhoStareAtGames no lol like I had just done the boat wreck and I searched the area. I found his body and everything. I didn't know it was the captain but my money wasn't there. Idk I guess mine just did something and it didn't show up
What song is this?
+NoMorThanMost Hey its: You're In Trouble Deep Remix - Anders Bothén
+MenWho StareAtGames Thanks... bro.
777Dubliner Agreed... but that doesn't make it useless.
How to change max. 1 Minute of Information into almost 5 Minutes...
Ok cool, sorry to waste the other 4 minutes of your life. We all start somewhere
Thank you from 2024
32 hours into the game, lvl 13 and i have 1200 crowns. Since patch 1.30 all newbies to W3 got F-ed.
Well I'll be damned
:D
thanks
No problem! glad it helped :)
Fuck!! I literally just did this bit in a replay and didn't get my cash back!!
