[ACT I] To the developer who designed the beast encounter:

[starwolf]

When you get to those mobs, don't fight them. Double tap your button to evade them (tumble, jump over them, etc.) Don't stop for any reason other than to Aard those supports. I did this on medium difficulty and I think I only had Swallow active. Took me three tries. Hopefully you'll nail it on your next attempt. I found this sequence the hardest part of the game. Good luck!

Thanks, I will definitely try that. Fighting is not always the best solution.........

You need to be strung up by your balls.What the hell were you thinking? WHAT THE HELL were you thinking? You must have a sick sense of humour. Because you have a game with a pretty clunky combat system, and this fight is a beautiful illustration of all that is wrong of the witcher's combat. Stay with me here. Lets say you zone in to a hypothetical room and for "effect" the game fades in to the encounter. Lets say that by the time the game finishes fading in that you have four meanies gnawing on you, and you are half dead. Lets also say that even though this is the toughest fight of the "chapter" you are given no opportunity to prepare(by that I mean drink potions at a time that their effects will be up for the "boss"). And goodness, lets say you die in such a display of developer sadism. To retry the encounter YOU HAVE ENDURE A POORLY SCRIPTED DIALOGUE EVERY. DAMN. TIME.But christ, this was stupid. Bad game design. Shame on you mr. developer.

I pretty much agree with the original. post. After an entire chapter filled with effortless combat (on medium difficulty) I have been thrown into a very hard battle, without a chance to prepare and standing there like a moron without a sword in my hand when all the dogs are already attacking. Having to click through the dialog before the fight every restart was completely pointless. And so far this is the only place in the game which I found so annoying, so it just stands out.

Those are links to threads about this problem. But basically i already explained all you need to do. Run, Aard the support beams, loot the corpse, run, Aard and then run as far into the corridor as you can. Dont look back. First time on normal it took me the whole morning to figure it out because of the bugs there but last time i just ran through it in two minutes.
