By unlocking the Riposte ability from the character tree (swordsmanship path), you can also counter-attack the opponents. By parrying an opponent you can put them off balance and then make successful hits. You can also parry their attacks by hitting the block button just before they strike you, you ought to hit the button when enemies are in the middle of their swing. To block an enemy's attack you need vigor points so if you run out of vigor points you cannot block anyone.

You can also upgrade Geralt's blocking ability so that he doesn't take any damage from blocking. You can block attacks from enemies and do not underestimate Geralt's capability to block attacks. The power attacks (power blow) do slower but greater damage and you ought to be using these for the most part in your fights вЂ“ especially if you are laying in the higher difficulties but a good combination of both is the best way to go. Use these for faster monsters like the Nekkers or Rotfiends and also Scoi'atel because all elves are fast. The normal attacks (swift blow) do lesser damage but faster blows. Sometimes Geralt draws the wrong sword so you need to make sure you are using steel swords for humans and silver for monsters. Use the proper sword for monsters and humans. Here's a picture showing Geralt's health and vigor points вЂ“

You get better armour as the game progresses вЂ“ I have written how to get all the best armour in the walkthrough itself. Like swords, armours have slots also which can use some armour improvements.

There are several pieces of armour Geral gets to wear but the most important is the torso armour and then there's also boots, gloves and trophies which give some extra minor bonuses. You ought to buy the diagrams for traps and craft them with any craftsmith. Geralt also has the ability to use traps. You ought to buy diagrams for throwing knives and bombs from the shopkeepers in the world and there are craftsmiths who craft the throwing knives for you. You should make bombs just like potions вЂ“ check the alchemy part of this guide. Apart from the two swords, Geralt can use throwing knives and bombs. There are also some oils which you an put on the sword which give a short term benefit to the sword вЂ“ these oils should be made like potions. You can find runes in the world or buy them from several shopkeepers who sell them. The number of slots is equal to the number of runes you can use вЂ“ the max is three and runes give the sword a variety of effect but remember that once a rune is placed in a slot, it stay there permanently. Just look into your inventory and see if there's small circles beside the sword which Geralt is currently wielding. The Swords Geralt has may have rune slots on them. A Witcher lives in a world of danger and danger is constantly around him вЂ“ Geralt even has to fight humans so that's what the steel sword is for вЂ“ Human, Elves and Dwarfs. You cannot use a steel sword on monsters and likewise, a silver sword does not work on human. The Silver Sword is used to kill monsters which range from Nekkers, Rotfiends, Endregas to more deadlier creatures like Wraiths, Gargoyles, Bullvores and a lot more. Geralt always has a Silver Sword and a Steel Sword with him. Of course the main weapons for a Witcher are his two swords. It also makes a sound when it vibrates so you don't have to constantly look at it for magic. Here in the guide, I will mention all the important places you get stuff from but you should be constantly searching for herbs or any other useful thing with your medallion. Your medallion can also be used to highlight items of interest around you within a small area, the object glow orange if they have something of interest within which may be a little piece of twine to a secret key or a great sword and the medallion also highlights the herbs in places around you which you can pick. There are different places of power which give a temporary boost to your vigor, vitality, power, damage or anything else. The vortex look like red mist вЂ“ you need to use the medallion (by hitting the use button) near a vortex to activate it and see it. They are magical areas where several powers collide as they flow about the world and this forms a vortex of helpful magic. Perhaps the most important usage of the medallion arises from it's tendency to vibrate near places of power. You can see the medallion vibrating on your screen вЂ“ it blurs out. The Medallion was crafted from Witcher magic and vibrates at the slightest hit of Magic or Danger. The Medallion he wears is of a special make and everyone who comes from his school (although few or none remain) has a medallion like his. One very important asset in the game for Geralt is his Medallion.
