Thank you dear Boomers I finally defeated him with your help. I am so use to hacking away wildly like in Sacred 2 I have to get use to fighting this way. The flame isn't that bright, is there another way of counting seconds or another secret to knowing when to hit with the sword? Which camera angle is the easiest?
In sacred 2 my mouse wheel zooms in and out can't we do that in Witcher?

Really enjoying myself and even though it is going on daylight I don't even feel tired yet, after all Geralt doesn't sleep why should I? rotfl

I am now in the town looking for the Reverend.

Do remember to eat and sleep, too! grin

I have not played it before Maggie and I got to admit his voice is really sexy. lol

I am stuck in trying to reach Mikul please tell me how do I get past the bridge to reach him?

Also I am building up the skills in silver sword even though I only have the steel sword. Is this a waste ? where do I find a silver sword? I was hoping magically my steel sword would turn into a magic silver sword but oops I was wrong.

Thanks in advance to whoever replies. Also congrats Maggie on Chapter 3 my you have been a busy gal. bravo

Sherryah, with the sword fighting you can learn when to hit even without the flame if you watch Geralt's movements. But don't worry; you'll get used to the combat soon enough, and soon you'll also have more magic and potions to add to your arsenal. In fact, I found the magic and potions to be more valuable than the swords, later in the game. If you upgrade your Aard spell high enough, you can stun even the toughest opponents, and at higher levels of Aard they'll be stunned long enough that you can take them out with one strike.


I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Thanks Hagatha for the reassurance. Can you please tell me how to reach Mikul?

I can see location on the map but can't reach him under the bridge. I killed the man size plants for odo already. I even waded in the water trying to go under the bridge. The mill is locked so how do I reach Mikul?

You don't reach him under the bridge Sherryah. He is at the gates up top. There are three different entrance gates guarded by soldiers. Have you found Abigail (the witch)? Getting back on the main road from her house, follow the path going northward. It will fork, so go left toward the gates ( the other way right goes to the crypt). Or are you saying you've completed the task he asked of you, and are returning to the second gate Mikul goes to? It's a little hard to see. You go down that path to the right before you get to the main gate, and it forks. You need to stay left. Here's a map that shows better detail. On this map it is marked where you first meet Mikul and get his task. The gate he moves to isn;t marked, but you can see the winding path to it north of where it is marked #2.

You need to build your skills in both silver and steel swords, as you will need both throughout the game. In the course of the game you'll get the other sword, but it will be a good while yet before you do.

Sherryah, I don't know if this will help, but I was watching for Geralt's sword to flame--which is does, but it is fast.

Finally I noticed the Cursor changes to a flame--Much easier to see lol

Ok, back with another question.

I've been running around collecting herbs and reading books.

I have the 5 candles from the reverend and I was going to go light the 5 Shrines. It's night, but when I get to the Shrine, Geralt says "I promised the Reverend I'd light these." but he doesn't.

I tried opening the inv. to click directly on the candles or move them out and tried to use flint--all to no avail. Do I need to complete the quests for Mikhul and the other guy (not Odo, already did that one) before I can light the shrines?

Thanks guys wave

L4L I just finished that quest and I have not finished Mikhul quest but did finish Odo quest. However in the demo I did not do either of the quests and just lit the candles. You must make sure it is night time and than go into the inventory and drag the candle to the eternal flame. The evil dog will usually appear be ready to fight. Please let me know if this helps you because you have helped me many times.

Sherryah
EDIT.......................
Hmm sorry just read it again and you say it is nighttime. Have you tried to go back to a save game and restart the game? I had some strange thing happen with the map and it all turned black on me except for marked buildings so there seems to be a glitch but when I redid a save game it was gone.

You don't have to do the tasks first. Click on a shrine, and your inventory will automatically open. Drag one of the lights to the special box that has come up in inventory- can't remember if it's a box or a pair of hands or something, but it will look different than the rest of your inventory. You don't need the flint. This special box will open in inventory whenever you are giving somebody something also, or drinking with someone (rather than clicking on it and clicking it on somebody or something). And you're bound to run into lots of doggies when you get to each shrine. laugh

Thanks Nickie that is the part I was trying to explain to drag the candle too, that box in inventory. LOL lots of evil doggies and the only dog biscuit we can give them is the tip of our sword. lol

Thanks L4L I will look for that. I usually pause and than hit. I really think this game is the best game I have ever played and so much value for the money.

Thanks Sherryah

Thanks Nickie

I'll go back in and see if that works. I figured it was something simple, but I was just not seeing it. puppy

edit: Yep, it worked. I saw that before but thought it was just for money at the shrine :Lol:

Sherryah- thumbsup

There is an off road that goes to another road on the bridge, it actually goes to another bridge, boy am I am mess in giving direction tonight. Now watch it, if you find his voice sexy you are hooked, isn't she Nickie?????? rotfl rotfl
Don't pay any attention to that direction, I am terrible in that one. Did you find the guy who sells things to the squirrels? The road is not far from him. Watch out for the drowners if it is nighttime.
I am so glad you like this game.

Take care

Wait until you're on your third play, Sherryah! Then you'll really be thinking you got a great game for your money!

It's definitely up there with my favourite games, that's for sure. Argh. I was going to say more but can't type anything tonight -- I bought an electric knife sharpener and found out the hard way just how sharp those kitchen knives are now! oops


I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Those in the outskirts are bad doggies. Good doggies do not normally attack people on sight. The ones in Temple Quarter are good doggies. It made me feel bad that Geralt had to kill some of these good ones for one of the contracts.

Ahhhh, Benedict, don't you know there are no bad dogs, just bad owners rotfl

I don't like killing doggies---but most dogs don't glow green so I've been dispatching them with nary a qualm. Now, if some of the doggies look like doggies and act like doggies, it will be much harder for me.

Edit: Ok, back with more questions.

I found a Place of Power. What do I use it for?

I also found the Standing Stones. I visited them once already on the Outskirts--do I need to visit them more than once? thanks

You can elect to not take the contract that requires you to kill good dogs in the city - I sure didn't do that one, the thought made me sick. Even when they blocked my way and growled at me - I just took a few steps back and let them pass.

I couldn't kill the good doggies in the Temple Quarter, so that particular contract went unfullfilled! The first time I played I found enough pots of dog lard in the houses that I was able to fill the contract that way. This time I forgot and used them to make Necrophage Oil.
