When to start hearts of stone
Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone - Tips for an easy start
hello everybody welcome to my guide on
how to have an easy start with the
hearts of stone expansion you can play
the expansion with your safe game from
your normal playthrough but you can also
play with a preset level 32 character
created by the desk and I think that's
what most people choose now this
character has unfortunately bed gear and
bed armor bed swords and also he doesn't
have like only a few enhance and basic
potions with very few bombs also quite
basic oils and only a few not really
helpful decoctions this character
doesn't have also any jewelry and very
basic alchemy and crafting ingredients
he also doesn't have a lot of deer
crumbs for alchemy or for crafting well
he has quite a lot of oil diagrams you
cannot really create anything because
you don't have the ingredients this
diagram also has only a few basic bump
and potion diagrams the only good thing
about this character is that he has
20,000 gold but this is isn't a lot so
how to skill this character up first of
all you have only one set of medium
armor and since that I think build mix
built between competent sign and build
is a good option a battle major build so
you'll make use of the high stamina
regeneration this character is level 32
but has 42 ability points which i think
is not a lot normally at level 32 you
will have
way more ability points since you have
found a lot of places of power so I
recommend to go with the fast attack and
a goal also of the combi skills that
give you a more adrenaline regeneration
and adrenaline than focused
skills and then finally you can go for
deadly precision which will give you six
or eight percent and chance of instant
kill which is always nice and since in a
battle mage build axe is the most
powerful spell and you should you should
put all the points into into action
unfortunately you do not have enough
points to get to the second level of oxy
also do not forget to put the right
mutagens and the slots and choose the
Griffins school skill now what you can
do to get more ability points is just go
and find places of power
weiter orchard alone has six places of
power and if you do not remember where
they are I'll just show you here but you
can just Google an interactive map of
which you're free and they're easily
find all the places of power so once you
place a power found a few places of
power and white orchard they're actually
quite easy to get the points because you
know the and the monsters that guard
them are like very low level and they're
no danger to you so you can take as many
places of power as you want but I think
just for the beginning free is in
because now you have you can spend them
on the second level of oxy which allows
you to take over enemies and let them
fight for you now that you have a basic
build you can go and get all the
diagrams you need this herbalist and the
main island of skellige has a few good
decoction including the art crafting
decoction and also he has a lot of
alchemy ingredients which you can buy
especially the cheaper ones the more
expensive one you have to be careful how
many once you buy once you bought all
the necessary stuff from the herbalist
at the Droid cam draw from the droid
camp on horse to get the knife and you
won't have the fast travel point so we
have to take your horse and go into this
cave where you will find Yolo who has
older and decoctions
and all the potion diagrams and so not
only will you be able to buy them all
but just having the decoctions that
diagrams will allow you to have a higher
toxicity levels because of your alchemy
skill acquired tolerant unfortunately
you will still need a lot of ingredients
to create all those potions but some are
available right away now the next thing
is I suggest you get a good armor and a
good armor can be found from the arch
Griffin east of oxenfurt normally you'll
he'll be level 35 but he's very easy to
kill and he will give you the art
Griffin mutagen and which allows you to
create the art Griffin decoction which
is very powerful even fault it's got
nerve
and he will also give you this URL
Armour which is a very good heavy Armour
and that has resistance to slashing
damage of 40 and 25 percent resistance
to monster damage and it also will have
three slots for enhancement or glyphs
next up I suggest you get a chimera
decoction so we have to go in Velen to
byways but unfortunately don't have the
first trouble point so you have to ride
from the road to both mountain fast
travel point now there you will have to
kill some ghouls and after you do that
you'll be able to do a quest and that
will allow you to find an a chimera and
a tunnel now he's very easy to kill
because you can AXI him and he won't
attack you and a world wind attack will
kill him easily he will drop some load
and also have the a chimera mutagen
which will allow you to craft a chimera
and the corruption which gives a 10%
life leech for your attacks which
especially with instant kill is quite
good next up I suggest you go to this
point in Velen and there at noon you'll
find a noon freight and killing this new
threat is important because don't afraid
will will drop light essence and light
essence is needed to create the golden
oriole potion and normally golden oriole
might not be that important to have but
since the first big difficult monster is
the prince dot which which uses a
poisonous attack it's very helpful to
have this potion another thing you could
do before actually starting to play the
heart of stone is to go and to the main
island of skellige and go to Kerala and
get the notice board
normally the sea outside of the main
island of skellige has no question marks
but once you picked up the stuff on the
notice board those there will be
question marks which mostly are
smugglers caches which with a lot of
easy loot to get now you can go to a few
notice boards and pick up the notices
just to have all those question marks
around the map but and the biggest most
important one is in character altar so
once you have those question marks ready
and you can take a ship and it just go
and swim to deck and to this question
mark the smugglers caches will be
defended by drawners or sirens or some
other monsters but you became basically
one shut them with your crossbow and
most of the smugglers caches will have
free chest below the surface of the
water and they all will have either an
armor a sword or glyphs rune stones and
either
even equipment for your horse you can
take good swords that you want to use
and all the other stuff that you do not
need you can sell to an armor or a Smith
now sometimes this Smith won't have
enough money to so you won't be able to
sell him all the stuff but if you just
meditate for one day and come back to
the armor he will have almost two
thousand crowns which will allow you
with a few such meditations to sell
you're all yours
if you make one and half hour run
looking for smugglers caches you'll be
able to have to sell your stuff for
20,000 crowns if you want you can also
go to the herbalist north-east of the
oxenfurt forest and after robbing his
garden you can buy diagrams from him
that will allow you to create some more
advanced bombs if you want to use bombs
then go to the herbalist and know God he
also has some good bump diagrams if you
want to create all the superior potions
and bombs you will need to have also
some diagrams for alchemy ingredients
which you can find in random chests or
you can also get them from alchemists
and herbalist all around and which are
universe
now when you start heart of stone
expansion and go to the seven Kent and
and collect the notice from the no
notice board you will be able to do a
quest called enchantment start at cost
and I suggest you do it at the beginning
because this will allow you to give the
possibility to enchant your island it's
not very cheap to do it and the startup
cost are at the beginning 5000 for the
next level it's 10,000 and for the last
level is third in 13,000 but you will
have a few cool egg and changement like
I have on my sword and my armor and with
those fighting a group of bandits like
this is quite easy as you can see so
while it's not necessary to do any of
these steps I suggest if you do them
playing hearts of stone even on death
more
we'll be fairly easy so thank you for
watching and see you next time thank you
for watching please subscribe and check
out my other with two free videos chance
of an instant kill which you can see
here another way to use the theatre
Union points is for rent the alternative
attack that you can perform will holding
the strong attack button
