The most intense situations you've gotten your self into. [May contain spoilers]

Out of curiosity, and I'm sure I'm not the only one panic over situation like these;

1) Boat sinks in the middle of the ocean.
I swear I was having the race of my life swimming Geralt's arms off away from the ocean. I was clearing some ? marks in Skellige Isles, mostly smuggler crates hanging underwater and such. My boat sunk after rushing into the floating barrels, YES! FLOATING BARRELS, with lovely drowners having their little party in that area, and after non-stop treasure hunting, I'm overburdened. You can guess all the panic screams within that 5 mins while barely swimming fast enough to not fall into drowners' grip on the ankles.

2) Crappy Gwent hands.
That moment you're facing a monster or Nilfgaard deck with only unit card in your hands, no decoy/spy/revive/weather and 2 redraws doesn't help you one bit.

So how's yours? Any intense situations you'd like to share? XD/

I had the most insane gwent round against the halfling (first player) during the Novigrad gwent tournament.

I had two decoys and 4 spies in my deck, and I think the opponent had something similar. We just kept drawing spies, stealing each others spies and then using the decoys on the spies to draw the spies again! I think I ended up with pretty much all my 27 cards on the table at one point. In the end I beat him in the last round with something like 150 against 120. Like I said - crazy round.

Surviving encounter with Imlerith on 2nd phase(where he throws the shield away) with just a splinter of life left in Death March difficulty. Was my mistake as I forgot to restock food and mediate to refill my enhanced swallow -_-

yeah, that Imlerith Dead March battle definitely... on my first playthrough i had to move the difficulty down to pass it through... i had like 50 tries and nothing... but on the second DM playthrough, i managed to get him.

I have to totally agree, The Imlerith fight on DM was a thrill, but also the Caranthir fight. Navigating between those golems that took 70% of my HP with one hit... I felt like a baws after completing it on my 3rd or 4th try

Caranthir was a bit easier, thanks to Ciri's teleportation ability, but it was hard compared to other fights in the game. I actually wish those Witcher contracts were a bit harder, or at least those monsters would be the only one who scale towards player level, so fights would be always hard no matter what level you are.

Yeah - the witcher contract are epic and VERY well done. Some of them feel like main missions.

But some of the monsters could be harder I agree. I was tracking an archgriffin and expected an epic fight, but I just burned it to the ground with Igni in about 5 seconds. Sure - you feel like a bad ass who took down an archgriffin in 5 seconds... but.... well... it was a bit too easy tbh. And this was on blood and broken bones.

It would be nice if some of the monsters had really good regen, perhaps a few monsters you actually had to flee from and brew something special. Or maybe lure it into a trap and collapse a couple of rocks on it.

The monster contracts are epic and I do love them but the fights themselves could have been even more "special".

 

[jj284b]

maybe just giving them dynamic level based on player level, and making them +5 levels higher than actual player is... this way, such fight would be very hard (as if you try to kill any overleveled monster outside) yet still possible, as those 5 level differences are not too much to make that fight way too hard.. (like in White Orchard its possible to kill those Level 5 Drowners if you are Level 1, if youre skilled with dodging)

Fumbling with wacky controls and jumping off a cliff.

I think about 98% of all of my deaths were due to Geralt having weak knees. Maybe they need to fine tune the Trial of the Grasses to account for this serious achilles heel.

Oh man I remember dying like a punk on the Trial of Warriors because of that. I was going up the cliff path for the dexterity challenge and just before I wanted to jump across a chasm combat triggered and changed the movement controls. My Geralt rolled off the narrow path and splattered all over the rocks below.

At least he did it with gusto.
