The Witcher 2 - A Guide for Beginners

I had trouble starting out with this game. Combat is tough, and it was confusing to relearn what each Magic sign did. Don't even get me started on mutagens. It took me a good few days to learn how to implement my mutagens.
It isn't an easy game, so I made this guide to help all you beginners out. Enjoy and remember to leave feedback and rate!
How to use: Mutagens, Throwing Knives, Signs, Riposte, Traps

To all beginners...u will not have a good time with this game unless u use all the resources u can. Prepare. Have best equipment. Drink potions. Set traps. Read journal for enemy info. Combine. Utilize all signs ranged and melee attacks. Never get surrounded or take risky attacks

@@JimmyBanGames What did you hate about it?, the combat (at least on mouse and keyboard) felt so much better than the witcher 3, to throw a sign I just used the corresponding number which is soooooo much better than the witcher 3 in which you first press the sign number and then q. Anyways, I haven't died a lot at all, and I'm currently on my second playthrough chosing Roche instead of Iorveth

I find this game has a solid difficulty. Make sure to save often! If anyone has played through dark souls, this game is not as hard as that at all. But still takes some focus and skill.

I just grab a used copy, thank you for posting this beginner video, considering this isn't the easiest game to pick up and play. I'm sure the more time I put in the more comfortable I'll get with the game mechanics but this is a good start.
The tutorial this game was missing! Great work!
Really nice guide. Quick, simple and helpful. Only thing bothering me was those Harpy clips. It could have been better if there were more different zones/enemies. But overall great job!
i got this game yesterday and have been using your tips and it has really helped me thank you so much
Thanks, I just got started and I really needed this video.
Cheers mate, I almost gave up on this and now its awesome
Please correct me if i'm wrong(i often am) but in this game, I Can Not Bind keys as I would like and especially needed is to change the Walk button to my Right Mouse Click; that's a deal breaker for me. Would love to try this game out again. Help? thanks

Oh my God.. this helped me out! i was lost in Witcher 2 xD thanks a lot!
thank you, very informative. i am starting to really like the game, but it is confusing. i am a little disappointed that when in the quick menu it doesn't tell you what each sign does, meaning you either have to memorise them or just choose one at random. i haven't put much into the game yet though, so who knows.
Do you hold in the targeting button, just tap it or not use it at all? I find I'm most successful when forgetting it completely, but I'm just a newbie so any help is appreciated :)
I have played witcher 3 five times trough and started witcher 2 today. Both amazing games
Incredible guide, you really helped me with the game :D
I didn't really understood that skill thing at the last. How do you activate or use those skills? Can someone explain that to me?
just picked up the Definitive Edition a couple days ago. on chapter 1 and just got through the I "in the class of madness" quest. anyway. point is: my armor is really good when it comes to humanoid enemies but once monsters come into the fray, my health just drops, is there any way I can fix that, or at least avoid it well enough to be competent till I find better gear? I've been practicing the combat style of 2 hits combo with magic and so on, but sometimes (especially with the wraiths) I just get my ass handed to me and I'm only level 8...
I just restarted my game...I needed this!

On the Xbox 360 version how do I equip a mutagen?
@jumpjumpdiegaming yep i know and have tried making them when i'm meditating but the diagrams just won't appear. but i can make other stuff like bombs, potions and oils, just not traps. wondering if this is some kind of glitch or something, it's pissing me off.
What is orens for? You didn't tell and how to increase my character level, so that I can get talent points?
Is there any stealth in this game i usually play as an assassin or a Warrior but i think i am going to be stealthy in this game so could you give me some tips witch perks,weapones,armor should i use.
HEYNOW ~ Cool Video , i know i'm abit late to the party butt i just finished Witcher 3 pc @ Ultra quality settings for the Third time { just an amazing game } then yesterday i was able to get witcher 2 pc - I've never played any witcher game until i heard from everyone how good this series & the excellent visual quality & story / Gameplay , etc... decided to give the game a try { APRIL 27, 2016 } Now i'm blaming youtube as i can't stop playing the witcher III ....... Thanx 4 Posting.
Just what I needed! :) and the accent is just pure uplifting xD
Thanks man, I'll have to check it out. I finished the game already lol but been wanting to play again.
Thank you so much! Really helped me out a lot! Subbed and like
Thanks my friend! i want to play this game properly and not without knowing what to do!
How can i change keyboard config? I dont know what is using for hp :S
i use bombs and Quen Power. For big Monster I use yrden. how do you guys play?
Which key lead you to inventory
how do you get three vigor bars?
How can i increase magic capasity?
Thank you for this! Really helped me out :)
Hey dude when I pass the tutorial and start the real game I have a bunch of stuff ! What are they
Do you lose daggers after throwing them?
Still on my first playthrough. Trying to finish it up so I can start over again and take Roche's path this time since I took Iorveth's path.
Concise, informative, thank you
Hey, how do you make traps in this game? When I first played this game I could make traps as long as I had the diagrams but then kinda had to replay from the beginning cos I sold off my Swallow potion and couldn't find it back lol. Now I can't make traps and I don't know what I'm missing, help! (btw I was in Level 11 when I decided to play from scratch and now I'm on level 12)
how do u access talent menu on pc
Thank you very much for the tips!
Which button is inventory
What sword sign are you referring to when talking about riposte? I rage quit this game years ago due to lack of being in control of my character, but I cannot say AT All what I should be looking at here...one day I will retry this frikking game
How can you throw knives and bombs etc ? Never knew, + how to change your powers? (sorry)
LOL "daggery death-dealing doom source man" gr8 guide
I think you have to have the diagram for it in your inventory. I put all my potions diagram away in storage and couldn't make any. Then I took them out of storage and I could make them again so I'm guessing you need the diagrams in your inventory.
Don't just started this today very confusing not having any problems with combat yet although it is difficult to know the magic signs also how do you know what healing potion is ? I failed one quest without even realising had to protect people in village walked through a door and just like that I failed couldn't go back it looks amazing though I'm sure ill enjoy it
Thanks for the video man it was a big help
Awesome game, but a challenge. Had no idea what mutagens did or how to use them. Had no idea how to use poisons or oils. Had no idea how to craft or use diagrams to make things. Didn't know which character abilities to invest in.
I bought this game a bit ago and I found it actually difficult to manage...for example, I was fighting the king slayer and I was very weak, because of my management of the skills tree...is something that I need to manage properly and understand it, because right now I'm very weak. I think that, since I just format my pc, to restart the game from the beginning and upgrade Geralt properly this time! Thanks for the tips :)
how come you have 3 bars for your vigor?
I just started and I'm in the first city the one in elven swamp and I don't have silver sword how do I get it ?

Thank you very much man, a guy thinks he's good at games, skips the tutorial and then this game just crushes you. Every enemy has the potential to kill you, and the combat system is quite complicated. I thank you for this video. Also, have you tried the game on a controller? I've been playing it on a Dualshock 4 because thats how I played the withcer III but I'm not too sure about it. Whats your opinion?
Wish there was a way to remove old mutagens. I I didn't know what I was doing yet so I wasted lesser mutagens on my first two slots.

CoolXer0 They do have a tutorial level sort of thing that completely explains all of the basic mechanics like equipping those into the quickslots, how to lock onto an enemy, how to do alchemy. It doesn't as far as I know tell you that silver swords are for monsters and silver for humanoids, which in my book is like the most basic mechanic to this game. TL;DR play the fucking tutorial
