PLATnumb-- Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I picked witcher up day 1 and did all trophies except death march and gwent stuff. I put it in my backlog and now I'm about to jump back in. When I stopped, however, there was no NG+ as it was added later in its life. I don't have my saves anymore and I remember one of the DLC saying you could start at level 15? 30? I was wondering if I could do that and then just do the entire quest or if it needs to be done from lvl 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, the DLC can start you off from a high level, but it's ONLY for the DLC - no main game. However, if you beat the game and want to do NG+, that is something you can do on Death March. Edited January 24, 2020 by Pirelli913 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacey_Dweeb Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I didn't think Death March was too bad. It's hardest at the beginning, but just keep the shield sign, Quen, active. If you get hit, roll away and within a few seconds you can activate the shield again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warlord99956 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 As mentioned above the “ready made” character is only for the dlc. After doing all 3 stacks I’ve found the total completion time to be fastest doing an easy play through to get all the trophies then a NG+ speed run just for death march. In your situation it makes most sense to just do a single DM play through as that’s all you need. It shouldn’t take you too long though. You will only need to do a few side quests to boost your level as you go. Grab the places of power to give you some extra ability points early on. Make good use of the oils, bombs and signs as they make a big difference on DM. Worst case, even if you die a lot, it should only take you 25hrs to wrap up the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneStingray Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 If you have the base game (not GoTY version) you could always not download the patch and do the dimeritium bomb trick to cheese it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPageMartin36 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 It's only hard on DM until the Griffin fight (about 5-10hrs in?). After that it's suprisingly easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyCass Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 If you mind control enemies with axii they get one shot by their allies, and if you are in a 1 on 1 you can literally beat on them while they are idle because they think they are on your side. Its so cheesy believe me, beat death march no problem with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaserPL Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 You can only start New Game + if you have a save file with the finished game, if not, you're gonna have to start from the scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sadly I also put all the gwent trophies on my death march playthrough as well, so while I only need gwent/difficulty trophies I still have to go out of my way to find all the cards which kind of sucks but I guess that will help me level up as well. Thanks guys for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefourfoldroot Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Death march is not difficult in the slightest. Just get your enemies to kill each other and pick off the stragglers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that something I should search for on my own Whirl and Rend (Fast and Strong tier 3 abilities in Combat) are OP as heck. Max out both. You'll need 30 ability points total, meaning you'll be around level 20 (give or take if you find all places of power up to that point) but once both are maxed, you're welcome. I was Share Playing with a friend once and he was telling me that I was cheesing the enemy because of how OP those two abilities are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
