Skill tree issue
The Witcher 3 is among thebest RPGsever.
The fight against Dettlaff feels almost like a Soulslike for how punishing it is.
I honestly have no idea what I was thinking back in 2021.
And oh boy, okay,nowI see the problem.
My abandoned Geralt still had 23 ability points to use.
Again: what onearthwas I thinking back in 2021?
No matter, I tell myself.
I can fix him.
En garde
Maybe Dettlaff wasn’t the problem, and my terrible build was.
I seize the opportunity to get a few healthy stabs in while he’s grumbling about his burning peepers.
It tends to knock about 60% off my health every time and I absolutely hate it.
Yrden is my absolute savior here.
But between the Yrden strategy and these carefully timed dodge-stab-dodge patterns, something incredible is happening: a cutscene.
A merciful cutscene, signifying the start of Dettlaff’s third battle stage.
My heart is in my throat, and I can feel my hands getting shaky.
I’ve never been so close to defeating this bastard of a vampire.
Now, victory is in sight.
The first time I reach Dettlaff’s third stage, I die in one hit.
Typical, but understandable, since I’d forgotten to swap over to Quen.
Amazingly, this actually works.
This goes smoother than I’d expected it to, and within a minute, it’s all over.
Even more fulfilling, though, was the chance to see Geralt finally get a happy ending.
What is life without the challenge of a great foe lingering overhead, after all?
I guess I’ll have to set my sights on a new unbeatable nemesis.
Malenia, you’re probably next.
Playing adrunken Geralt in The Witcher 3 is actually OP?
