GUIDE THE WITCHER 3 WILD HUNT description

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an action role-playing game with a third-person perspective. Players control Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter known as a Witcher.[1] Geralt walks, runs, rolls and dodges, and (for the first time in the series) jumps, climbs and swims.[2][3] He has a variety of weapons, including bombs, a crossbow and two swords (one steel and one silver).[4] Players can draw out, switch and sheathe their swords at will. There are two modes of melee attack; light attacks are fast but weak, and heavy attacks are slow and strong.[5] Players can block and counter enemy attacks with their swords.[4] Swords have limited endurance and require regular repair.[6] In addition to physical attacks, Geralt has five magical signs at his disposal: Aard, Axii, Igni, Yrden and Quen.[7] Aard prompts Geralt to unleash a telekinetic blast, Axii confuses enemies, Igni burns them, Yrden slows them down and Quen offers players a temporary, protective shield.[8] The signs use stamina, and cannot be used indefinitely.[9] Players can use mutagens to increase Geralt's magic power. They lose health when they are attacked by enemies, although wearing armour can help reduce health loss. Health can be restored with meditation or consumables, such as food and potions.[4] Players control Ciri, Geralt's adoptive daughter who can teleport short distances, in certain parts of the game.[10]

It has responsive, advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and dynamic environments. The day-night cycle influences some monsters (and their powers), as a werewolf becomes powerful during the night of a full moon.[11] Players can learn about their enemies and prepare for combat by reading the in-game bestiary.[12] When they kill an enemy, they can loot its corpse for valuables.[12] Geralt's witcher sense enables players to find objects of interest, including items that can be collected or scavenged.[13] Items are stored in the inventory, which can be expanded by purchasing upgrades.[12] Players can sell items to vendors (who pay in crowns)[14] or use them to craft potions and bombs.[15][16] They can visit blacksmiths to craft new weapons and armour with what they have gathered.[17] The price of an item and the cost of crafting it vary, depending on a region's local economy.
