I threw grapeshot bombs at him when he was at distance. Unfortunately, I don't remember the fight that well, but I think that bombs not only dealt good damage, but prevented him from casting spells. I was particularly afraid of his Igni.
*sigh*
Anyone with a good hint for the fight with Letho in Chapter 1? I'm just using Aard on him and when he's stunned I hit him. When Vigor is out, I just try to avoid. Works ok, but he manages to hit me every now and then so I go down.
Playing Witcher 3 on release day is probably not a good plan.
I'll play it on normal, and hopefully won't have any end of chapter 1 moments of frustration like I did on the first Witcher….
I know this is an ancient comment but I’m just playing The Witcher now. I got pasted by that dog the first time but knocking it down with Aard and clearing the mob and then focusing on the boss ended the fight in 30 seconds. It was pretty funny.
Yeah, the hellhound fight can be weird. It's a very difficult battle at that point in the game, but Aard allows you to one-shot him if you get lucky.
Is it your first time playing TW?
Well it’s my first time getting past the beginning of Chapter III. I’m partway through chapter IV this time and still going. I’m more patient this time around which makes it far more enjoyable. I have to say I’m very impressed so far. The only thing I didn’t like so far was the boss battle at the end of Chapter III. After dying a few times Trying to dodge and move I realized the best option was to stand and tank hoping to outlast his cheesy lightening attack spell. I’d much rather face a skill based battle like Ramsmeat which was a nice challenge and felt like a real battle. Either way I plan to finish it and start Witcher II.
I only remember one hard fight - near midway - some critter that as a pia. Rest of the game was pretty easy. Fun game - meant to replay sometime as there are two different endings - but alas been distracted… and new games keep showing up.
