Quick tips
Prologue: White Orchard
Finish White Orchard before leaving
Clear the opening contracts, Places of Power and Viper diagrams before you go. This is the cleanest point to set your equipment and skill direction.
Prologue: White Orchard
Start Gwent early
Read the notice boards and buy the innkeeper's cards to begin collecting Gwent cards.
Prologue: White Orchard
Keep your early build focused
Start with fast attacks, Quen and Igni rather than spreading points across everything. A Combat/Alchemy hybrid is often the most forgiving option for beginners.
Things you can miss
Optional quests, items or choices you can lose access to by progressing past a point. Guides often call these “missables”.
Missing in Action, On Death's Bed and Twisted Firestarter
Can be lost after: Prologue: White Orchard
All three have the Imperial Audience cutoff, so finish them before that quest.
