I've explained this a lot but you seem special to me, so I'll explain for you :) Its not how to force yourself to enjoy. ANYONE who doesn't understand what they are doing will eventually feel discouraged to quit. My videos help you explain your tools so when your in the game you use said tool. Its fairly simple to understand
This is how someone can jump to conclusions, just by reading the title. I have never seen anyone make videos like this anyway except him, no question of "people" doing it. And it's not about it being boring, but the quest tracking being confusing and the story being way too long. Got nothing to do with the quality. It's one of the better written RPGs of all time. Would have known, if u dived into it, more than just reading the title.
@@arandomguy3526 oh no, i tried like 10 times to get into it, even downloaded mods on nexus, i really wanted to love and get lost in the game but it was still extremely dull to me. when i found out combat was never gonna get better and the physics, i just droped the game... i dont care about the story because i never read the books or played previous witcher games, nor do i care to. if the combat and gameplay was really good, i might have dived into the game and loved it. but thats not the case. im not arguing against this guy making this video, thats great of him. im just spitting my personal opinion on how i view these types of things.

@@anonymous_dot_com2326 why would you play a single player game if you don’t care about the story😂😂😂 this is regarded as one of the greatest rpgs of all time and if you can’t see that you obviously are hating it just to hate it. If you don’t like this rpg how could you like any?
Stopped watching because of this. Every time the music starts my speakers explode and I'm stuck to the ceiling. That's how startled I was. Damn shame. Could have been a good video.

I also suggest to turn off Points of Interest in the options. I found myself running from question mark to question mark and it became an overwhelming chore really fast. With them off, you pay more attention to the world and you discover things more organically instead of staring at your map the entire time. Way more enjoyable in my opinion!
Thank God for this video! 👊I bought the game bought the book and was so excited to get started and immediately got overwhelmed. You broke it down into little pieces that helped me so much, just a simple point of pinning an ingredient for example. Video makers have to remember that some of us are not experienced Gamers yet and that are new to the fun and need really basic info first.😁
I miss the noob feeling. I’ve played so many games now that the novelty of a new game wears off pretty quick. I find that playing on harder difficulties and playing for immersions instead of rushing the critical path makes the awe of playing an amazing new game a little more potent. Gosh I sound old. I try not to fast travel I try to walk in towns and act like the character would act. The Witcher 3 is one of the best games for immersion. Sure it’s not perfect, Roach really pisses me off when he runs around afeared of like one wolf and just trots all around the fight getting in the way. But it truly is a game to be savored and taken slow and methodically.
Thanks finally a video worth watching. All the other Beginners guide video I watched , they fucking assume I know every everything A beginner should know and starts from middle of nowhere .
@@BUckENbooz First time a content creator comments on their 3 year old posts! Theres always that random guy, years late to a game that wants a REAL tip video. Not some bs guide. Thats me, and your provided it. And you're still here, so that makes me happy lol.
@@BUckENbooz thank you for this video, it gave me a good view about what to do in the game (just starting it) I'd have loved to see some tips about making money and stuff like that though ; )
You've convinced me to try and play through the game again. I started the game last year and got a bit overwhelmed with all the items and crafting which put me off the game. I was expecting a really great story with interesting and diverse characters. I realise that the game has those things, but I just got bogged down with the items etc. that I just quit the game.
@@farhadjawhar4055 because so many wrong in the vid, you can dismantle some items on the "other" section that way you got some crafting materials from it, and trophy has weight and some other items in alchemy/crafting like hide etc
Just buy the pc version download a few mods and skip all the bullshit, no fall damage, no weight cap, and fast travel from anywhere. Get those mods and the game is actually perfect...
Well I’m about to be in that same bout gonna give a go after I watch this, I didn’t get that far the first go through but I know it’s such a good game and my style idk what happened lol
It is terrible editing because the one who edits the videos either: A) Didn't even sample the music, or B) Knew it's loud af and didn't bother tuning it down Of which both A and B are scenarios that wouldn't exist if the editor were competent enough to care.
For the love of everything Witcher. Do yourselves a favor and craft better Mutagens! Under "Alchemy Substances". You'll give Geralt a serious boost to his attributes when you socket them, especially when compared to any Mutagens you just pick up along the way. Also there's a lot of junk you can dismantle for useful parts, instead of blindly selling. As you progress you'll find and earn a lot of money so don't worry too much about selling a ton of crap just to buy a sword a few points stronger than your own. I promise you'll find decent weapons in the beginning then get into crafting a bit later on after you've accumulated enough parts to not have ever search for what you need (usually) from 20 levels of exploring and dismantling. That's the way I play anyway. The only time I really die with this strategy is from falling.... 😑 Otherwise great video! I hope this gets people into the game for the first time/again.
Don't sell everything in other, many items can be broken down into silver, iron, steel, timber etc. I honestly don't understand how you can rage quit this game. As long as you're leveling up via quests, making potions/bombs to support, and exploring undiscovered areas you're fine.
Nope he is right..the only thing the junk is good for is to sell it. The only thing i ever upgraded was his basic suit. The rest of the stuff you truly need you can all find exploring and doing side quests. Dismantling is all just extra costs you do not have to pay for. Repairing your shit is more then enough for the lousy amounts of money you make in this game.
Thanks man. I understand why a good amount of people are upset with my advice and had some good points and maybe even potentially better advice. This video wasn't made for absolute fact its a video on how I PERSONALLY enjoyed Witcher 3. Glad it helped.
I just started playing this game. I was going to quit after a couple of hours. I was so overwhelmed by the inventory. Once you get the hang of it it's not to bad. If the combat and movement was more fluid this would be a great game.
You shouldn’t sell everything in your other or even armour. It can be dismantled for crafting components. You also should sell some of roach’s stuff as saddles are one of the heaviest items. It’s also useful craft with your mutagens in alchemy as you can make better mutagens for % increase on your abilities
The Witcher series on Netflix of seriously outstanding. Anyone with even a vague interest in The Witcher needs to watch it as soon as possible. Henry Cavill is seriously fantastic as geralt. The series has definitely given me renewed interest in this game.
I also just started TW3 after watching the Netflix series. The fact that it's only $15 on steam with all dlc may have also been a factor in my decision to pick the game up. So far (10 hrs), so good.
Nice video, just the music bits are little bit too loud. AND: Some annotations. 1. You need some kind of alcohol "White Gull" for certain alchemy ingredients. Those ingredients you need for highest tier potions, oils and bombs. 2. Decotions are refilled with alcohol while meditating. 3. Crafting witcher gear is essential because you can improve them 3 times (with BaW 4 times) to (grand) master tier and they are so much better than anything you can loot. 4. You did not explain the mutagene slot beside the character abilities, which gives you depending on the colour benefits, with colour matching within abilities and mutagenes the benefits are even better.
hey man great video. just real quick, you really need to craft "White Gull" under the alcohol tab in alchemy. you need it ALOT to craft the better oils and bombs.
@@hcaps3129 Seen the first three episodes. I'm diggin it. Since its release I noticed the increase in views for the video. Guess it got a lot of people either back into or starting the game.
Not sure if it’s because I’m a gamer, but I just got into the Witcher(only played Witcher 3 because I had extra cash in my psn wallet and wanted to spend it) never cared for the game or anything pertaining to it.... but boy was that the best 30 bucks I spent!! My first few hours, I was grinding/ leveling up, exploring the land etc until I was above the “recommended level”😂. Had loads of fun and the game became a breeze for me
The game is super boring. The graphics are very good, but it has too much cut scenes. I've played 6 hours Total, ive tried to enjoy it some 5 times. But I just can't find it any interesting.
Man this is a Hella good guide, really really helpful, you've answered all my questions unlike lots of other channels that just expect you to know everything 🙌🙌
I've read lots of comments and want to make a few things clear based off what my advice is in the game. Decotions. It is brought to my attention I was incorrect and decotions you do in fact only have to craft once. The second one is selling all your other. Now I'm not saying I regret selling everything in your other. This video is how I enjoyed witcher 3. I never based this as fact however, if I gave the impression that other is ONLY for selling that wasn't my intention. You can use other to break down items for crafting. Hope this clears some things up.
Finally a video that has actually helped me navigate the maze of sub menus!! Ive watched so many witcher tip vids to help get me into this game with the same shit- "Dont forget to save, you have a silver sword and a steeeeeee-" BLARGH NOT HELPFUL MATE! Thanks so much again :)
I will have to try to get in to it since i never owned a RPG before the only RPG i have is AC Origins. And i am a big Assassins Creed fan. I will do my best maybe it's just because i am not into RPG"S i was only used to Assassins and Splinter Cell and driving games Batman A. Asylums games etc.
People hating in the comments. Thank you for making an in depth explanation in a categorized fashion. You helped alot of people and I also learned from this
BUckENbooz DLC? What’s that? I have not been able to access or use the crossbow. I am on an Xbox One X. New to Xbox. Any idea why I can’t access it? Or is there a trick to to getting to get it tor work?
@@JonneytheKidd DLC is "downloadable content." Basically, the two expansion packs that were released for the game. You probably have the complete edition of the game that already has all that included. Crossbow: Have it equipped in your inventory, then when you're in the game bring up your quick select menu (the one where you pick what sign to use during combat). The crossbow should be at the very bottom of that menu. Highlight it, exit that menu, and it should be ready to use.
I downloaded the game 1 yr ago. Lost interest just the minute playing, that time im not into rpg not really interested on learning much of everything about the mechanics. Then i gave it a try last 2 weeks. Now my butt fukin hurts playing it 16hours a day nonstop! Cant believe o gave this up forgot about it for a year .what an amazig game and for me its better than skyrim Skyrim is diffrent but witcher is a bit higher. So vast. Best rpg by far next is skyrim. (For me)
Ikr? I played this game 5 hours after i just bought it and i quit it for a long time. Decided to give it another try... Oh boyyy... Right know i'm on my 6th playthrough. I've been litteraly playing this game for 2 years straight only stoping for two weeks or so after i've finished it each time. Best game ever!
Kyriacos Keravnos im currently going through it again because I had to restart due to me dropping the game a while ago. So when does it get fun? Im playing it and the game feels like a chore and I hate it. I know it gets better but I cant spend so much time. Im getting bored and very tired playing the game. Any tips to keep it fun or last until It’s fun?
This is probably the most underrated video on this game. A lot of useful information and I like that you showcased things that discourage newcomers to the mechanics of the game. Greatly appreciate this man!
This is motivating me to pick the game back up and give it another shot. I didn’t quit playing because I’m a n00b to RPGs or anything like that… I just… I don’t know 🤷♂️. I bought it and put like 6-7 hours into it and just… never picked it back up. I’m gonna give it another try tho.
Do it bro! Btw Cory is my actual first name xD It's spelled "Corey" but close enough haha. Glad it motivated you man give it a go! Remember! take your time. Get immersed.
2:12 While a lot of this video is excellent, this is factually untrue. Many items in the 'Other' category can be broken down into components which can then be used for crafting. These are especially useful for the early game, when leather, fur etc. is scarce.
Just started playing, have watched 10 beginner vids and this was the best, I've got soooooooooo much stuff to sell under the "other" tab lol, thanks dude! 👍🏼
In 2017 I gave up playing the witcher 3 even when I was still in white orchad for around 4 hours. A year later I decided to reinstall and give it a chance and keep telling myself to play at least 10 hours minimal. Now I've beat the main game + all dlc 6 times and I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME. The world, the story, but most importantly the well written characters ❤. My only regret after playing this game is now I have such a high standard for singleplayer games. If it's not as good as the witcher 3, I'd uninstall them right away and never touch them 😂
@@royplayIL you should give it a try. If you love story rich games, this game is definitely for you! I'm going for a 7th playthrough and this time I'll make sure I don't miss a single side quest because there are a ton of random encounters in this game. Most of the side quests are great, and some of them actually have an impact (big and small) to the main story. Just give it time cuz the first chapter may bore some people, but after that you won't be dissapointed
is this the first rpg you have played? i have seen nothing in this game that i have not seen a 100 times...wonderful game but not that hard to understand it.
As your perceptive mind may see, that concept doesn't happen for a lot of people. for a lot of people, they enjoy a game more when they fully understand how there character works.
Thank you so much!!!! I really had a hard time to start the Game, and find the right Video to give me a Good start. Now l would like to see a Video, how to make lot's of money soon (besides dismential see shells and sell the pearl's)
Thank you! I just started playing this game and once I got the map larger I officially was overwhelmed. I wasn't leveling up very quickly and I couldn't find a lot of things to make oils and bombs. After watching this I feel 100% better getting through this game. I'm only a level 3 but I think I'll just go to white orchard and explore until I level up. It's just SO BIG and that's why I quit playing skyrim. I was too overwhelmed. Thanks though!
Same here! I just finished doing the quests and exploring everything in White Orchard and continued to the larger map (after the castle place thingy). I’m so overwhelmed of where to go, apart from the main story, so I’ve stopped playing a few days ago.
I haven't gotten back to it- it's a beautiful game but I got to a cave and there were rats and it said I had to create a bomb to get rid of the rats but turns out I could have just used my igni and it was too confusing so I rage quit- haha but I think this weekend I'll try again.
I did the same. It was on sell so I was like "might as well." Then started playing, as soon as I got into the very first battle after the tutorial I knew I was gonna have some issues and kinda just sat and made excuses not to play. I did the same with monster Hunter world. Since these are the first games of these series ngave up too easily, but I hate wasting money and decided to force myself to play them and watch some vids on RUclips. Safe to say, I absolutely loves these games now and happy I got them both.
I have only played it for a little while. Level 4... but at this point I still think skyrim is better. I stopped playing skyrim because there was just so much to do, in terms of quest, but this game I just feel lost.
Started playing a long time ago then gave up. This type of guide is exactly what I needed thank you. I'm happy to try pick the game up again and give it another try now.
The game is really Simple and intuitive. It's one of the best RPGs, no question about that. If you didn't enjoy it before chances are you're weird as fuck
2:42 literally 99% of the dialogue in this game.... i cant get over the jenky controls and tedious/uninteresting dialogue that's drawn out. i keep trying to come back to this game fresh and excited for the 10/10 experience but oh when i start using the combat and movement.... i begin to hate it. Then i have to navigate with shit controls only to talk to boring ass npcs... i cant
I want to like this game SO bad and I know it’s a great game in every way, but goddamn if I haven’t played this game 20 times and gave up on it each time, I think because in the back of my head I want it to be simple like Skyrim. Call me a normie or a casual or whatever, but this game is just too convoluted for me to love 😢😢😢
@@BUckENbooz sorry for the late reply. You probably must have tried the dlcs already. Well Heart of Stone is a smaller Dlc compared to Blood and Wine. It has new missions and trust me it is a fun story. The Blood and Wine on the other hand is a much wider expansion. It basically gives you a new map to explore, a map that is really beautiful and the story is great too. I had a lot of fun with the Blood and Wine dlc. Of all the expansions that I've played in any game, this one is the best because of the amout of content and the fun factor involved. You won't be disappointed if you haven't tried it as of yet.
Decoctions works just like potions, you just have to craft them 1 time and that's it! The difference it's on the toxicity and the duration. You only have 1 decoction of each kind, they last a long period of time and usually you just can use one of them because of the high toxicity. You refill your decoctions just like oils/potions/bombs, by meditation! No need to craft it again!
The items under "other" category are also used as materials for Crafting tools, such as metal dishes, leather, wood, etc. It is used to create bombs, swords, armor, boots, gloves, etc.
Yeah I had some earlier input on the music and during production it sounded good, then for some reason after upload it was crazy annoying. Unfortunately I can't change it unless i take it down, but what I can do is warn with annotation, sorry guys!
Biggest tip, focus your points into the quen sign, get the exploding shield and the active shield to max and when using quen you can heal yourself in fights and prevent yourself from taking damage, i’m currently on my 3rd alchemy build ps4 complete edition and having the blood and wine dlc is a must for alchemy builds because of the special mutations and what you can do with them, getting every alchemy formula to the superior category is always a top priority as well due to their extremely potent effects
My reaction after watching 5 videos on this and then being only 1 minute into this video: "Oooh shit, he's going to tell me everything I need to know. Wow."
This is great. I bought the game about a year ago and played for about 30 hours. Lost track of everything and got quite overwhelmed when it got harder and had to use potions and stuff I didn't learn about in the beggining. I will give the game another chance now after watching your video, because I really did like the game and it's athmosphere :) Thank you!
Thats awesome! Always glad to hear people respond like this. please do! remember, take your time. your not trying to beat it. you just wanna play it! have fun!
I've had this game for about 3 years. Paid $10 for it. I've tried getting into it 3 times, and just got bored with it. I'm giving it another go right now, and to be frank.... It's pissing me off I don't know where the fuck I'm going, I don't know what the fuck to do, and I don't know how the fuck to play this game. And I've been playing games since the Atari came out 1978.
@Tahir Decoctions refill on meditation in all difficulty modes. The only thing that changes with meditation on the higher difficulties is it won't automatically heal you.
Misleading title for the video. It feels like this is more a basic guide video than what you can do in the game to not want to give up on the game from frustration or not being interested in gameplay.
I think the majority are just bent out of shape about the music transitions. They are loud and annoying I'll admit. But sadly its too late to change it :(
@@BUckENbooz Ohhhhh. That's alright then. I've been scrolling through the comments for ages, trying to find someone who had figured out how to get them back quickly.
I’m confused. To craft alcohest, you need dwarven spirits and other stuff. But if you can solely just use dwarven spirits for replenishing potions, then what’s the point of crafting an alcohest?
DO NOT SELL THE ITEMS IN YOUR 'OTHER' TAB!!!!!!!!!!!!! Break them down for crafting materials. You need to craft a lot, and you actually get more money typically for the crafting items than the actual item you broke down.
This is how you know a game is overhyped and boring, if people make videos on, "how to enjoy "insert game" without giving up
I've explained this a lot but you seem special to me, so I'll explain for you :)

I started the game last year and got a bit overwhelmed with all the items and crafting which put me off the game. I was expecting a really great story with interesting and diverse characters. I realise that the game has those things, but I just got bogged down with the items etc. that I just quit the game.
"fancy a gand..." "FUCK OFF."
good video :)
molag bal thanks brother glad you liked it :)
OOOh so that's what is all about. If u want to enjoy the witcher, just tell to fuck off to every merchant u will meet :) Finally i get it! :)
2:42 how I feel about the Shopkeeper every time.
When u try to explain something without having a clue.
Wym?
@@farhadjawhar4055 because so many wrong in the vid, you can dismantle some items on the "other" section that way you got some crafting materials from it, and trophy has weight and some other items in alchemy/crafting like hide etc
@@KureyonSoloCarry make a video on it then
Oh and , don’t forget, you don’t need to craft decoctions multiple times, just meditate and they refill
I am 20 seconds into this video and you already get my like. Sorry it took me this long, busy 3 years.
I started playing this game again after stopping for half a year. Immediately saw this video, and start playing it again. Thanks man very informative.
Jimmy Merc wow man thank you means a lot to hear.. glad it helped you out!
This game is long story there is lot mission so play this game to final
Just buy the pc version download a few mods and skip all the bullshit, no fall damage, no weight cap, and fast travel from anywhere. Get those mods and the game is actually perfect...
Well I’m about to be in that same bout gonna give a go after I watch this, I didn’t get that far the first go through but I know it’s such a good game and my style idk what happened lol
I started replaying, fell off a cliff during combat had to reload like 30 minutes of gameplay said fuck it and went to Skyrim
Terrible editing.. That music, holy hell.
For some reason it brings me slight joy it bent you that out of shape. Made my morning so far thanks :3
I endorse this comment...music is waaay too loud.
"Huh. Dis goi's voice is kinda luu. Imma turn up the volume"
>Loud af intro music starts
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Okay chill music may be loud but it’s not terrible editing cause the music was too loud .... broke boy
It is terrible editing because the one who edits the videos either:
A) Didn't even sample the music, or
B) Knew it's loud af and didn't bother tuning it down
Of which both A and B are scenarios that wouldn't exist if the editor were competent enough to care.
For the love of everything Witcher. Do yourselves a favor and craft better Mutagens! Under "Alchemy Substances". You'll give Geralt a serious boost to his attributes when you socket them, especially when compared to any Mutagens you just pick up along the way. Also there's a lot of junk you can dismantle for useful parts, instead of blindly selling. As you progress you'll find and earn a lot of money so don't worry too much about selling a ton of crap just to buy a sword a few points stronger than your own. I promise you'll find decent weapons in the beginning then get into crafting a bit later on after you've accumulated enough parts to not have ever search for what you need (usually) from 20 levels of exploring and dismantling.
That's the way I play anyway. The only time I really die with this strategy is from falling.... 😑
Otherwise great video! I hope this gets people into the game for the first time/again.
Another Witcher PSA: might get some hate for this one but on death march yrden is invaluable. The skills will become very overpowered when leveled.
The quest with professor mureau was unexpected.
Ian Chamberlain you can hit circle during a fall and won't die as easily
Falsifying Genesis I'm talking like big falls that will kill you either way.
Can I ask you a question please ? .. I am lvl 16 and about to meet yenefer at a city I think called skeldge .. How much % I finished of the game ?
Given up 4 times on this game. Usually shitty frustrating controls.
Nah dawg you just suck
@@rogerthat2215 nah the controls are fucking trash
I don’t understand how someone can dislike this. Good work dude. New to the game
because music
Don't sell everything in other, many items can be broken down into silver, iron, steel, timber etc. I honestly don't understand how you can rage quit this game. As long as you're leveling up via quests, making potions/bombs to support, and exploring undiscovered areas you're fine.
Matt _ i was able to enjoy the game thanks to killing 100s of pigs in order to get money.
Matt _ exactly!
Matt _ I quit the game because it felt repetitive.
Nope he is right..the only thing the junk is good for is to sell it. The only thing i ever upgraded was his basic suit. The rest of the stuff you truly need you can all find exploring and doing side quests. Dismantling is all just extra costs you do not have to pay for. Repairing your shit is more then enough for the lousy amounts of money you make in this game.
Every game is repetitive. Its a system.
Awesome guide! Thank you for allowing me to easily understand everything.
Thanks man. I understand why a good amount of people are upset with my advice and had some good points and maybe even potentially better advice. This video wasn't made for absolute fact its a video on how I PERSONALLY enjoyed Witcher 3. Glad it helped.
same here man c;
I just started playing this game. I was going to quit after a couple of hours. I was so overwhelmed by the inventory. Once you get the hang of it it's not to bad. If the combat and movement was more fluid this would be a great game.
Change the control setting to alternate
@@oscarlarsen400 I got use to it. This game is awesome!
@@lobbyrobby yes it’s probably the most well made adventure rpg to date
You shouldn’t sell everything in your other or even armour. It can be dismantled for crafting components. You also should sell some of roach’s stuff as saddles are one of the heaviest items. It’s also useful craft with your mutagens in alchemy as you can make better mutagens for % increase on your abilities
The Witcher series on Netflix of seriously outstanding. Anyone with even a vague interest in The Witcher needs to watch it as soon as possible. Henry Cavill is seriously fantastic as geralt. The series has definitely given me renewed interest in this game.
B Dre that's what prompted me to start the game!
JBob08 same, i think it’s gonna have a resurge because of it
@@jadenwaz9585 ruclips.net/video/eOOhwrl9M_g/видео.html&feature=share
I also just started TW3 after watching the Netflix series. The fact that it's only $15 on steam with all dlc may have also been a factor in my decision to pick the game up. So far (10 hrs), so good.
Yeah after watching season 1 I have redownloaded and playing the witcher again haha
Nice video, just the music bits are little bit too loud. AND: Some annotations.
1. You need some kind of alcohol "White Gull" for certain alchemy ingredients. Those ingredients you need for highest tier potions, oils and bombs.
2. Decotions are refilled with alcohol while meditating.
3. Crafting witcher gear is essential because you can improve them 3 times (with BaW 4 times) to (grand) master tier and they are so much better than anything you can loot.
4. You did not explain the mutagene slot beside the character abilities, which gives you depending on the colour benefits, with colour matching within abilities and mutagenes the benefits are even better.
hey man great video. just real quick, you really need to craft "White Gull" under the alcohol tab in alchemy. you need it ALOT to craft the better oils and bombs.
Thanks for the heads up!
No problem mate ;-)
I haven’t played this game for a while now. Think I’m going to get back into it!
i used to play but its been so long, this video helped
Play it on the switch lite.
Bro did u watch the Netflix show ??
@@hcaps3129 Seen the first three episodes. I'm diggin it. Since its release I noticed the increase in views for the video. Guess it got a lot of people either back into or starting the game.
Decoctions restock if you meditate
Awesome guide! I wish more people did guides like this. First RPG, so it's a little intimidating. Thanks.
U can dismantle things u have in “other” so for crafting mats
Yes, you can do it, but usually it isnt neccesary, if you try to forge a weapon its a good idea, but othewrwise its better too just sell the items.
Not sure if it’s because I’m a gamer, but I just got into the Witcher(only played Witcher 3 because I had extra cash in my psn wallet and wanted to spend it) never cared for the game or anything pertaining to it.... but boy was that the best 30 bucks I spent!! My first few hours, I was grinding/ leveling up, exploring the land etc until I was above the “recommended level”😂. Had loads of fun and the game became a breeze for me
I got it this year in April for $10 GOTY edition. Best $10 I've ever spent ever
Just bought it myself for $10 waiting on ps5 version before starting. I'm a newbie
The game is super boring. The graphics are very good, but it has too much cut scenes. I've played 6 hours Total, ive tried to enjoy it some 5 times. But I just can't find it any interesting.
Man this is a Hella good guide, really really helpful, you've answered all my questions unlike lots of other channels that just expect you to know everything 🙌🙌
I've read lots of comments and want to make a few things clear based off what my advice is in the game. Decotions. It is brought to my attention I was incorrect and decotions you do in fact only have to craft once. The second one is selling all your other. Now I'm not saying I regret selling everything in your other. This video is how I enjoyed witcher 3. I never based this as fact however, if I gave the impression that other is ONLY for selling that wasn't my intention. You can use other to break down items for crafting. Hope this clears some things up.
BUckENbooz thank you...i was giving up on the game
Finally a video that has actually helped me navigate the maze of sub menus!! Ive watched so many witcher tip vids to help get me into this game with the same shit- "Dont forget to save, you have a silver sword and a steeeeeee-" BLARGH NOT HELPFUL MATE!
Thanks so much again :)
you got it thanks for the comment !
in alchemy the substances like rubedo is needed to craft for upgrading superior bombs and potions you need to brew whitegull alchol for it
I will have to try to get in to it since i never owned a RPG before the only RPG i have is AC Origins. And i am a big Assassins Creed fan. I will do my best maybe it's just because i am not into RPG"S i was only used to Assassins and Splinter Cell and driving games Batman A. Asylums games etc.
just downloaded this shit today and it is overwhelming af, this video helped out alot👍🏼👍🏼
Cole Thomas me too. Man I was confused as fuck. Did the level cheat and still got my ass beat. Lol. This video helping a lot!. Now ima start over.
My ears hurt, you speak so quiet that i have to put sound high and then that volume 100 intro came and earraped me
People hating in the comments. Thank you for making an in depth explanation in a categorized fashion. You helped alot of people and I also learned from this
Why am I watching this I have 400 hours in the Witcher
yeach, same but 500h
same but 1000h
Same 5hrs
Same 4 hrs
2:43 'f off' DYING🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How to play witcher 3 without giving up:
Buck: This is your inventory
Me: I'm done with this game 😒
How do you have 2300coin at level 10? Im missing something
The only way I enjoy the witcher is by playing it my way. It's a slow paced game. The mission are boring. And it demand to keep up with alot of shit.
Hands down the best explanation of how the inventory content all works. SERIOUSLY THANK YOU!
Happy to have helped! I'm actually going to jump back into this game but into the DLC. Honestly never tried the DLC yet xD
BUckENbooz DLC? What’s that? I have not been able to access or use the crossbow. I am on an Xbox One X. New to Xbox. Any idea why I can’t access it? Or is there a trick to to getting to get it tor work?
@@JonneytheKidd DLC is "downloadable content." Basically, the two expansion packs that were released for the game. You probably have the complete edition of the game that already has all that included.
Crossbow: Have it equipped in your inventory, then when you're in the game bring up your quick select menu (the one where you pick what sign to use during combat). The crossbow should be at the very bottom of that menu. Highlight it, exit that menu, and it should be ready to use.
I downloaded the game 1 yr ago. Lost interest just the minute playing, that time im not into rpg not really interested on learning much of everything about the mechanics.
Then i gave it a try last 2 weeks. Now my butt fukin hurts playing it 16hours a day nonstop! Cant believe o gave this up forgot about it for a year .what an amazig game and for me its better than skyrim
Skyrim is diffrent but witcher is a bit higher. So vast. Best rpg by far next is skyrim. (For me)
Ikr? I played this game 5 hours after i just bought it and i quit it for a long time. Decided to give it another try... Oh boyyy... Right know i'm on my 6th playthrough. I've been litteraly playing this game for 2 years straight only stoping for two weeks or so after i've finished it each time. Best game ever!
Kyriacos Keravnos im currently going through it again because I had to restart due to me dropping the game a while ago. So when does it get fun? Im playing it and the game feels like a chore and I hate it. I know it gets better but I cant spend so much time. Im getting bored and very tired playing the game. Any tips to keep it fun or last until It’s fun?
Rav FLEX I’m on the part where you find the daughter of baron and I can feel the game starting to pick up
MaizeWings im already past there and I still dont find it fun. Im at Novigrad rn
@@ravflex1899 how do i not die itimwmy does and evades and I also block BUT WHATEVER THE FUCK I DO I TAKE DAMAGE how do you not die by 2 fucking mobs
Started playing Witcher 3 only now (4 yrs late i know), watched a bunch of videos but this is by far the most useful I've seen yet. Thank you
#steamsale lol same here
This is probably the most underrated video on this game. A lot of useful information and I like that you showcased things that discourage newcomers to the mechanics of the game. Greatly appreciate this man!
This is motivating me to pick the game back up and give it another shot. I didn’t quit playing because I’m a n00b to RPGs or anything like that… I just… I don’t know 🤷♂️. I bought it and put like 6-7 hours into it and just… never picked it back up. I’m gonna give it another try tho.
Do it bro! Btw Cory is my actual first name xD It's spelled "Corey" but close enough haha. Glad it motivated you man give it a go! Remember! take your time. Get immersed.
2:12 While a lot of this video is excellent, this is factually untrue. Many items in the 'Other' category can be broken down into components which can then be used for crafting. These are especially useful for the early game, when leather, fur etc. is scarce.
Agreed
Just started playing, have watched 10 beginner vids and this was the best, I've got soooooooooo much stuff to sell under the "other" tab lol, thanks dude! 👍🏼
This vid is very old but im new to witcher 3 and u help me with this tiny piece of info i appreciate it thank you!!!
In 2017 I gave up playing the witcher 3 even when I was still in white orchad for around 4 hours. A year later I decided to reinstall and give it a chance and keep telling myself to play at least 10 hours minimal. Now I've beat the main game + all dlc 6 times and I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME. The world, the story, but most importantly the well written characters ❤. My only regret after playing this game is now I have such a high standard for singleplayer games. If it's not as good as the witcher 3, I'd uninstall them right away and never touch them 😂
I think about buying this game again, I played it also in 2017 and didn’t really liked it and I sold it...
@@royplayIL you should give it a try. If you love story rich games, this game is definitely for you! I'm going for a 7th playthrough and this time I'll make sure I don't miss a single side quest because there are a ton of random encounters in this game. Most of the side quests are great, and some of them actually have an impact (big and small) to the main story. Just give it time cuz the first chapter may bore some people, but after that you won't be dissapointed
You can sell your "other items" but they can also be broken down into alchemy an crafting materials
Yeah I wish I’d mentioned that in the video at the time
@@BUckENbooz all good, that's what all your fans are for!
is this the first rpg you have played? i have seen nothing in this game that i have not seen a 100 times...wonderful game but not that hard to understand it.
As your perceptive mind may see, that concept doesn't happen for a lot of people.
for a lot of people, they enjoy a game more when they fully understand how there character works.
Thank you so much!!!!
I really had a hard time to start the Game, and find the right Video to give me a Good start.
Now l would like to see a Video, how to make lot's of money soon (besides dismential see shells and sell the pearl's)
Thank you so much for doing this video. After so many videos you are the first one that actually made sense and was more detailed. 😊
Thank you! I just started playing this game and once I got the map larger I officially was overwhelmed. I wasn't leveling up very quickly and I couldn't find a lot of things to make oils and bombs. After watching this I feel 100% better getting through this game. I'm only a level 3 but I think I'll just go to white orchard and explore until I level up. It's just SO BIG and that's why I quit playing skyrim. I was too overwhelmed. Thanks though!
Quenna Stewart your more than welcome! Glad your enjoying it. Going to start some dlc on it soon excited to play it
Same here! I just finished doing the quests and exploring everything in White Orchard and continued to the larger map (after the castle place thingy). I’m so overwhelmed of where to go, apart from the main story, so I’ve stopped playing a few days ago.
I haven't gotten back to it- it's a beautiful game but I got to a cave and there were rats and it said I had to create a bomb to get rid of the rats but turns out I could have just used my igni and it was too confusing so I rage quit- haha but I think this weekend I'll try again.
I did the same. It was on sell so I was like "might as well." Then started playing, as soon as I got into the very first battle after the tutorial I knew I was gonna have some issues and kinda just sat and made excuses not to play. I did the same with monster Hunter world. Since these are the first games of these series ngave up too easily, but I hate wasting money and decided to force myself to play them and watch some vids on RUclips. Safe to say, I absolutely loves these games now and happy I got them both.
I have only played it for a little while. Level 4... but at this point I still think skyrim is better. I stopped playing skyrim because there was just so much to do, in terms of quest, but this game I just feel lost.
“Let’s go talk to this merchant, hello.”
1 Second later
“FUCK OFF!”
Your intro explaining abt what you do and abt other vids being 'useless' had ME. IM DEFINITELY SUBSCRIBING
Started playing a long time ago then gave up. This type of guide is exactly what I needed thank you. I'm happy to try pick the game up again and give it another try now.
The game is really Simple and intuitive. It's one of the best RPGs, no question about that. If you didn't enjoy it before chances are you're weird as fuck
@@tomas-gp3vv BEST
TRASH
The "other" tab can hold secondary quest items. So dont just sell ALL of it, you can get important things for certain quests in there
Lol I’m on my 8th play through all of them on death march I have done all side quests and contracts and I have all achievements... And no life :(
Fruit Salad holy fuck 8 play throughs lol, if you play on pc, how much hours have you put in to the game? I'm curious
Fruit Salad on steam
Brilliant vid for new players.
2:42 literally 99% of the dialogue in this game.... i cant get over the jenky controls and tedious/uninteresting dialogue that's drawn out. i keep trying to come back to this game fresh and excited for the 10/10 experience but oh when i start using the combat and movement.... i begin to hate it. Then i have to navigate with shit controls only to talk to boring ass npcs... i cant
I want to like this game SO bad and I know it’s a great game in every way, but goddamn if I haven’t played this game 20 times and gave up on it each time, I think because in the back of my head I want it to be simple like Skyrim. Call me a normie or a casual or whatever, but this game is just too convoluted for me to love 😢😢😢
I just finished the Blood and wine expansion after completing the Heart of Stone Dlc. Blood and Wine is the best DLC of any game till date. Must buy!
I honestly haven't tried any of the dlc yet. What kind of story is it?
@@BUckENbooz blood and wine is about vampires
Heart of stone I have no idea
@@BUckENbooz sorry for the late reply. You probably must have tried the dlcs already. Well Heart of Stone is a smaller Dlc compared to Blood and Wine. It has new missions and trust me it is a fun story. The Blood and Wine on the other hand is a much wider expansion. It basically gives you a new map to explore, a map that is really beautiful and the story is great too. I had a lot of fun with the Blood and Wine dlc. Of all the expansions that I've played in any game, this one is the best because of the amout of content and the fun factor involved. You won't be disappointed if you haven't tried it as of yet.
Decoctions works just like potions, you just have to craft them 1 time and that's it! The difference it's on the toxicity and the duration. You only have 1 decoction of each kind, they last a long period of time and usually you just can use one of them because of the high toxicity. You refill your decoctions just like oils/potions/bombs, by meditation! No need to craft it again!
chakalrbn only on normal dude. Don't play this on normal, you don't get the full experience
Olivia Livingston No, the Decoctions work exactly the same on each difficulty. You don't have to meditate to refill oils btw.
Ill play this for the 1st time
When it releases on the nintendo switch 😁
Thanks for the in depth tips
JJ dmd how you like it so far and me too 1st time playing it lol
The items under "other" category are also used as materials for Crafting tools, such as metal dishes, leather, wood, etc. It is used to create bombs, swords, armor, boots, gloves, etc.
i was looking for this video all along
Hey man ! I have a question :do you still play the Witcher ?
does he still playing?
Intro music was way way way too loud, but good video overall keep it up
I also feel like you could have condensed this video a bit, into a more inviting amount of time.
Yeah I had some earlier input on the music and during production it sounded good, then for some reason after upload it was crazy annoying. Unfortunately I can't change it unless i take it down, but what I can do is warn with annotation, sorry guys!
It happens m8. I subscribed anyway, looking forward to more videos :)
That means a lot thanks for the support! Warning annotations were applied as well
Don’t sell all others items like silver stones and diamonds are needed for better gear
Started playing just yesterday....best explanation for beginners..
I don't give a Fuck about the music being too loud. You explained this beautifully. You've got a new subscriber.. Plus we're the same on 2.42 :)
Just started playing and this helped. Thank you.
Biggest tip, focus your points into the quen sign, get the exploding shield and the active shield to max and when using quen you can heal yourself in fights and prevent yourself from taking damage, i’m currently on my 3rd alchemy build ps4 complete edition and having the blood and wine dlc is a must for alchemy builds because of the special mutations and what you can do with them, getting every alchemy formula to the superior category is always a top priority as well due to their extremely potent effects
I subscribed within the first 16 seconds 😂
nice intro music. my whole town loved it.. thanks to the volume

My reaction after watching 5 videos on this and then being only 1 minute into this video: "Oooh shit, he's going to tell me everything I need to know. Wow."
This is great. I bought the game about a year ago and played for about 30 hours. Lost track of everything and got quite overwhelmed when it got harder and had to use potions and stuff I didn't learn about in the beggining. I will give the game another chance now after watching your video, because I really did like the game and it's athmosphere :) Thank you!
Thats awesome! Always glad to hear people respond like this. please do! remember, take your time. your not trying to beat it. you just wanna play it! have fun!
I've had this game for about 3 years. Paid $10 for it. I've tried getting into it 3 times, and just got bored with it. I'm giving it another go right now, and to be frank.... It's pissing me off I don't know where the fuck I'm going, I don't know what the fuck to do, and I don't know how the fuck to play this game. And I've been playing games since the Atari came out 1978.
Nooo ..you’re wrong i think decodations automatically refil after meditation
@Tahir Decoctions refill on meditation in all difficulty modes. The only thing that changes with meditation on the higher difficulties is it won't automatically heal you.
For a lvl 10 character, you have lot of potions and alchemy components. nice!
Just from me lootin everything :)
Started the video off thinkn' I was gettin' tips from Jesse Eisenberg on how to not give up on Witcher 3.
Thats the first I heard haha.
@@BUckENbooz in a good way of course! Awesome video btw totally helped me not give up lmfao
Misleading title for the video. It feels like this is more a basic guide video than what you can do in the game to not want to give up on the game from frustration or not being interested in gameplay.
Hands down, best fucking tutorial vid I’ve seen! Thanks for this!
Bruh I don’t see why everyone is hating, this helped a lot like low key I watched this and now I know all the basics
I think the majority are just bent out of shape about the music transitions. They are loud and annoying I'll admit. But sadly its too late to change it :(
BUckENbooz I don’t mind it too much :p, but I could see why some people would. Your attitude gained u a new sub
Thanks brotha
decoctions refill for me when i rest
Kevin Keel yes please all know I was false with the statement that decoctions don't refill when resting. Sorry about that.
@@BUckENbooz Ohhhhh. That's alright then.
I've been scrolling through the comments for ages, trying to find someone who had figured out how to get them back quickly.
I’m confused. To craft alcohest, you need dwarven spirits and other stuff. But if you can solely just use dwarven spirits for replenishing potions, then what’s the point of crafting an alcohest?
DUDE fucken lower the intor song volume. My ears exploded.
DO NOT SELL THE ITEMS IN YOUR 'OTHER' TAB!!!!!!!!!!!!! Break them down for crafting materials. You need to craft a lot, and you actually get more money typically for the crafting items than the actual item you broke down.
woops
