I like to illustrate this point using my first ever encounter with a werewolf. Potions and oils are the answer to the inevitable question: "how am I supposed to beat this enemy?". Prepare for tough fights with oils and potions If you're on the higher difficulty levels, you won't have access to this particular (overpowered) luxury, so the best way to heal is to brew some Swallow potions, which will greatly increase your vitality regeneration for a short time.ģ. As long as you're in a safe place without enemies around, it's the work of a couple of clicks to bring your health back to full without using up any items. By far the best method of healing if you're on one of the lower two difficulty levels is to meditate for an hour. You'll need to pay careful attention to your health (or vitality, as the game calls it) at all times, because you'll only regenerate health at an exceedingly slow rate out of combat. Geralt may be a legend, but he certainly isn't invincible. Meditate for an hour to fully recover your health Get into the habit of hitting F5 to quicksave before every fight (and every so often in general).Ģ.

And the last thing you need is for the game to add insult to injury after you die by sending you back twenty minutes because you forgot to save. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt can be a pretty tough game at times, particularly when you're still learning all the intricacies of its combat system.
