Tips for Tackling The Witcher 3 Backlog: Refresh Skills, Restock Items, and Recap Story

The Witcher 3 is an enormous open-world RPG that can take over 100 hours to fully complete. Don't feel daunted by the scope; just focus on the 50-hour main storyline if needed.
-
Decide whether to resume an old save file or start fresh. If you've forgotten the story and mechanics, begin anew for the best experience.
-
Return to White Orchard to re-learn combat fundamentals against low-level monsters. Practice parrying, using signs, crafting items, and preparing for fights.
-
Check your inventory and restock on crucial Witcher prep items like oils, potions, and bombs. Also craft any new formulae you've acquired.

Use the in-game character bios and quest logs to refresh your memory on the story, key characters, and events if returning to an old save.
