After the cutscene, Leo will tell you to learn the Aard sign. Loot the enemies and the barrel near the kitchen door then follow Leo up the stairs.ħ. This one instructing you on how to use the Group Style which is useful when you want to deal some crowd control. A little more inside, you'll get another tutorial. The game will instruct you on how to dodge enemy attacks (something you wont be able to do for a while if you drank the Thunderbolt potion). Continue and kill the Salamandra in your way. Once inside Leo will remark on his witcher training. Drink your potions then head inside the citadel.Ħ. Before going you'll be giving two potions a Thunderbolt and Swallow (Thunderbolt raises your strength but prevents you from parrying or dodging while Swallow gives you a slight Vitality regenaration boost). You'll be accompanied by a young witcher called Leo while the others hold off any other bandits. After the cutscene you'll be instructed to head into the citadel to prevent Salamandra from obtaining any of the witchers mutagens. Head towards the gate opposite to the citadel, kill the bandits, then interact with the 'Winch'.ĥ. Theres also a lone barrel along the walls of the citadel which you can loot.

Keep moving forward while dispatching any enemy that gets in your way. Ignore them and head towards the stairs which lead to a cutscene. After the bandits are dead you'll see some enemies with ranged weapons. (Note: Changing styles while comboing will cancel the combo). Use the Strong Style to kill the heavily armored enemies and use the Fast Style to kill swift enemies. Further on, the game will begin showing you combat styles. The game will then instruct you on how to kill stunned enemies with a single attack. Click the enemy again and Geralt will follow his first combo with a second, do it again for a third and so forth. Once you attack an enemy the sword icon will change into a 'flaming sword'. Once in the courtyard, the game will instruct on how the combo system works. Once the conversation ends you'll be instructed to go alone to the upper courtyard to secure passage for your friends while they hold off the bandits.ģ. Deeper into the conversation you'll see a mage named Savolla with a beast called a Freightener. You learn that the invaders you just fought are not your run-of-the-mill bandits but are a group going by the name of Salamandra. Follow your companions up to the gate for some dialogue. It's a pretty easy fight considering you have your fellow witchers at your side.Ģ.

After the opening cutscene, grab the Rusty Sword infront of you and use it to dispatch the invaders.
