tl;d'r - I need to kill a monster. How do I add voices to the Bestiary? I need info before I kill the monster, not after.

I'm trying to play the Witcher 3 for good since I bought it back in 2021, don't ask me why I couldn't go past the Griffin.

Now I'm in Velen, lvl 4, not the best Witcher around for sure, but I like this game a lot and I want to take it slow and steady and dive into this very well crafted world.

There's this quest were I have to fight a Werewolf but I can't seems to kill it.

I can do good damages but he just recover too rapidly. I tried fire, the flash bomb, the magic trap, the Axii, but nothing seems to work.

So, instead of going on the internet and see were am I doing wrong, I would try to "research" the monster so that I could take it down in a proper way. The question is, how? Should I head to the nearest city and looks for book? Is there someone who can teach me this kind of things like Vesimir?

No spoiler please, I guess it would really easy to understand how to kill it through the internet but I don't want to, I just want to know if "research" is possible.

Thank you so much!

EDIT: I know about the bestiary, the right question is How do I add entries to the Bestiary? I need info before I kill the monster, not after.

TL;DR - I wanna try a "mixed" build with 2 handed sword, Mage armor + heavy helmet, and 2 spells: Frost (for the slow) and Protection to give support. Food will be kind of balanced. Do you have any wisdom to share?

Ehi there,

I've already wrote a last week about the D-Day in Ashland and took your advice for navigating the land better. And it worked for the most part: I'm trying to stay alive, keep the Protection bubble up for me and my comrades and shoot fireballs. It works, but mainly because my friends upgraded to Ashland gear and can actually dishes out tons of damage and resist fairly well against those blows they cannot parry or avoid.

I am doing support-ish things, but doesn't really seems I'm making that much of a difference rn. Damages I do are really low. I'm sure that with new staves things change but for now, I feel like trying something different SO... I'm here once again for your precious advices: Battle Mage, what's a good setup?

I'm thinking:

• Weapon: 2-handed Ashland Sword (it's cool, it hurts and I like the moveset)
• Food: Mistland Feast (the best so far) + 1 Eitr Food + 1 Stam
• Armor: Embla Trousers and Pants (100% Eitr Regen) + Flametal Helmet (armor and no penalties) + Not sure about the cape (i like the Feather fall, but also the the 2 new capes looks really good!)
• Magic: Staff of Protection (I'm not going to be a healthy warrior anyway, so the protection seems necessary and can be applied to friends) + Staff of Frost (can help with dmg, but I love it for the slow effect).

(Skellets are nice as distraction, but I'm not playing solo and I don't feel like needing them so much. Fire bombs are fun and they were OP in the Mistlands, not so much now from my experience. Btw I can't spend to much time leveling up, since we play once a week and the grinding for skills is pretty intense. Plus, dying it's easy, so I don't really get "stronger" that much)

The plan is basically to give some support to the battlefield with Protection Bubbles and Slow from the frost staff, while being relevant in melee with the big sword and some more armor than your avarage mage. I don't need tons of Eitr, I can swap from fighting with Stam to Support with Eitr. What do you think?

Thank you so much!

Hail vikings, we landed the Ashland during the last session with friends. It was brutal.

A giant weird sea snake was shooting bile balls at us from behind while we were trying to navigate trough sharp and big rocks in boiling waters. We reached land somehow just to get swarmed by flying monsters and a horde of flaming "skeletons". After several deaths, we managed to reclaim a part of the beach, but I don't feel confident at all navigate this lands.

I am the mage of the groups, not a powerful one yet, but I want to aid my comrades in the best way possible.

What knowledge have you to spare with me? What's the best armor pieces for a novice mage, what spell should I enhance to the fullest? What kind of food is best consumed to fight the longest? And what potion is a must in those burning lands?

Right now I feel my fire balls are not of much helps and the Ice shards chew through my Eitr fastly. The Magic Shield is enough to keep at bay those foes for a bit, but keep a steady formation is hard, so most of the time, me and my skeletons are the only one benefiting from the blood magic.

Please give me advice and may Valhalla welcome you.

Hey everyone, I play rock-pop-punk in a band (34 yo crisis, pretty much) and I know power chords, palm muting and how to alternate picking (not really fast yet) but I wanted to improve since playing guitar is incredibly fun and I felt like being able to play Dammit and I Fought the Law wasn't enough. So I started taking some lesson and boy, music theory it's awesome.

I'm now learning scales and grades and dexterity and precision, which is all great and feel like slowly getting better. Things about the fret board start to make sense now.

Yesterday I told my teacher that I wanted to play American Idiot just like the Green Day. He said "Ok", took the phone, searched for the song on Youtube and listened. 5 seconds in and he figured out the verse (pretty easy, I know), then the chorus (still easy) and then the solo,he got all the notes right at the first try. I know it's probably easy for the 90% of you, but to me it was like magic.

Maybe this is a pointless post but I wanted to share how great playing an instrument is and also I wanted to ask you how long it took you untill you got the "magic" behind notes and chords? I'd really love to listen songs and immediately say "Yep, got it".

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I am not sure the flair is right since I'm not the one giving Tips and Tricks rather asking for them.

I have less the ten hour in the game and I love the feel of challenge that Outward gives me but I feel like I am wandering around, scared of every thing is not a Bandit.

I reached Berg, trained with the dude that teach Enrage, found a slitghly better armor (padded+fur boots) and crafted a Fang Greatsword. I have the Pommel Counter and feel "quite confident" but the reality is that I can take 1 or two bandits at the time. I am scared of descending in dungeons because everytime I do there's some weird monster killing me before I can kill him. Once again, I love it, I am not complaining.

My goal is to reach Levant (i liked the dude with a big sword at the beginning), but I would like to get a bit stronger in Enmark before venturing into the Desert so I wanted to get some good loot, sell it or use it, but I'm not sure if there's some entry level dungeon or they are all mean and I just have to get powned times and times again before being able to survive.

I tried to get to a Bandit camp but there where three golem like monster guarding it, so I tried a Misc. Dungeon (the one in a big dead tree) but a "mecha" dog killed me before I could kill him.

Can any of you give me a solid advice to get started without trivializing the game to much (I don't wanna cheese it)?

Thank you, love the game!

Hello, I have just recently started to play Outward and so far I love the experience.

I wanted to install just one mod for the pace of my senses which is the Walking Mod. I like to feel immerse and I don't like to run everywhere, but since I'm playing on PC, there's no button to walk. The only way I found is by putting too much stuffs in my pocket.

I'm trying to install the mod but without success. I launch Partiality, go on Files > Open > Outward.exe but no folders get created... what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
