[Act I] Getting Owned

How do you get passed the four guys in the salamander HQ after you get rid of the two guys outside ? I keep getting killed. First off you start out having to redraw your sword when you get inside. Then you have to reselect what ever power you had selected to use. By the time I do all I mentioned I am getting my butt kicked and I die. Is there a secret to this? :wall:

You mean in ACT I ? ???First of all Aard is very useful if it can knockdown your opponets, then the Group style, maybe Crinfrid oil could help you and, of course, Swallow potion.

If you have Stun in Aard, just press 1 and left-click quick. That should stun all of them, especially if you walk past the HQ before the fight and use the Place of Power and Circle of Elements there to empower your Aard. Then you can just coup de grace them all. Tawny Owl if you feel you'll need more uses, and Swallow of course as an insurance before going in. I suggest behind the shoulder-camera with keyboard+mouse configuration for that particular spot (F1 - F3 switches the camera mode) as doing a quick switch with keyboard is simply easier (although you could just pause the second you enter.

It's possible to get pinned against the door in that one, and die due to getting repeatedly pummeled and not being able to act.Try pressing W twice quickly to spin or jump to another spot, perhaps?

for me, drawing my weapon OUTSIDE the hut did not result in losing it inside, did you try that ?

 

[petra_silie]

Prepare yourself outside before you enter the hideout. Take a Swallow and use a whetstone for your blade. If you have to redraw your sword anyway when you are inside, use Aard which should give time to draw your sword again.I assume Act 1 is meant, topic edited

You can press the spacebar to pause, then hit Q to draw your sword and 1 to get Aard ready. When you hit spacebar again you'll be in good shape. If you get pinned try double tapping forward or to the side and Geralt sometimes will sumersault over the top of them giving you some space and time.
