First time I'm trying this difficulty level, it's a world away from S&S. It's embarrassing getting killed by a pack of wild dogs or nekkers lol.
I'm getting the hang of 1-on-1 combat and I'm usually able to defeat opponents 4-5 levels higher than me (so far) if I'm careful and patient. Parry-hit-hit-parry or wait for the enemy to commit to an attack than dodge to the side and attack is my usual go-to combat tactic.
What I'm facing some difficulty in is dealing with a swarm of enemies like drowners and wolves. I inevitably get surrounded and that's usually fatal. Obviously one would say try to peel off the enemies one by one but that is not always possible.
What are some of the tactics and strategies I could use to get the enemies to come to in 1's or 2's, and what are some of the recommended crowd control tactics, or how else can I deal with multiple foes?
This is a new game (not NG+) & Geralt is about to reach lv5 and is just into Velen, looking for Keira Metz and the Baron.
Thanks.
