The Witcher 3’s Xbox One X Enhancements Detailed.
As one of the best-looking games of the last few years, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has topped many wish lists when it comes to games Xbox One X owners hoped to see get enhancements on the console. Now the wait is over, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt owners can finally download the game’s long-awaited Xbox One X update.
The Xbox One X update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is similar to the PS4 Pro update that released a few months ago, giving players the choice between 4K Mode and Performance Mode. In 4K Mode, the game will run at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second. In Performance Mode, The Witcher 3 will use dynamic resolution scaling from 1080p to 4K and will target 60 frames per second. To switch between the two graphics modes, players need to go to Options in the main menu, and then select Advanced Options.
The Xbox One X update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt also adds HDR support, enhanced shadows, ambient occlusion, and texture filtering. Players will also notice higher resolution textures when playing the game after they download today’s update. Overall, this puts the Xbox One X version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt ahead of the PS4 Pro version of the game, as the latter is still waiting on HDR support.
Xbox One X owners that want to get the most out of their new console will likely appreciate The Witcher 3 ‘s Xbox One X update. Even though the game is over two years old at this point, it’s still one of the most popular games of the current-generation, earning widespread critical acclaim at launch and standing as the best-selling game in the series to date.
Plus, it could give lapsed players a reason to jump back into the game. The Witcher 3 is massive, and it’s unlikely that many players have seen all there is to see in Geralt’s adventure. Besides that, the Xbox One X update offers the perfect time for those that haven’t played through the game’s huge DLC expansions to see what they’re all about as well.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

best expansion I've played on XB1.
Great new story line, very enthralling while staying true to what's great about the core game. too often expansions feel like they are recreating the game, not here. very well done and and since you need to be a high level it was fantastic to see the new more difficult enemies, I'll admit I was getting bored with the fights at the end of the base game, but right from the first enemies I had to noticable challenge.

Worth the money.
Exellent story, Great voice overs, a nice addition to crafting, and depending on your play style 10 to 15 hours of game play. This is how all paid addons should be.

So Addicted ❤ Best Game I've Ever Played.
The story is full of quests. There's never a dull moment. The graphics are amazing, not like any game I've seen so far. I have the expansion pack, so worth it. I played the whole game at least 40+ times. I know this is the end of the witcher games, but I seriously hope it's not. 😢

Although a more brief main story, Hearts Of Stone has still stolen my heart. CDRed never fails to captivate with unforgetable characters and wonderfully intricate plots that really make you contemplate your choices.

When playing the game on Xbox One X, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s visuals are sharper and the overall presentation more vivid than ever before on Xbox.

Go to any monster nest, and loot everything in the nest except for one item. You can leave any item, but you must leave one item or this will not work. Turn the camera in a 360 degree circle or walk a short distance away from the nest, and then loot the nest again for all items to have respawned. Repeat this as many times as desired. Sell all the items you get from this exploit for lots of crowns. The game has a cap of 65,535 crowns. Thus, stay under that number to avoid losing any crowns. If you meditate for five days, the shops will get all their money (crowns) back. Alternately, go to the Loan Shark in Navigrad since his money comes back each time you leave. You can also buy florens so he has more money, and then just convert florens to crowns at the bank in Novigrad. Note: This glitch was performed on an unpatched version of the game. It will probably eventually get patched. To avoid not being able to use this exploit, either do not install new patches before using this exploit or delete the patches. You can avoid patches being installed by disconnecting from the internet until you are ready for the game to install new patches.
This glitch allows you to earn over 1,000 crowns per minute. You must buy shells from a merchant, dismantle them, and then sell the pearls for a higher price. First, go to the merchant at the following location at Hierarch Square in Novigrad. Buy all his shells and sea shells. Then, exit the shop, talk to the merchant again, and he will have all the shells in stock again. Buy as many as possible. Once you reach Velen, you can swim directly to Novigrad or take a boat to get there. Go to the armorer right next to the merchant, and dismantle the shells to get pearls. Sell the pearls to the armorer until he runs out of money. Next, meditate for five days, and the armorer will have roughly 1,000 coins again. Sell pearls to him again. Repeat this process as many times as desired. Alternately, go to the Loan Shark in Navigrad since his money comes back each time you leave. You can also buy florens so he has more money, and then just convert florens to crowns at the bank in Novigrad. Buying and dismantling a shell costs 8 coins. Selling the pearl you get from it gives you 109 coins, which is a 101 coins profit per shell. Note: The game stops saving your crowns if you go above 65,535 and will revert them to a previous state. Thus, do not go over this limit. If the merchant does not have shells in stock, either meditate or fast travel to another map, then check again. Additionally, make sure to do this during the day, as merchants and armorers are not around at night. This glitch will also probably eventually get patched. To avoid not being able to use this exploit, either do not install new patches before using this exploit or delete the patches. You can avoid patches being installed by disconnecting from the internet until you are ready for the game to install new patches.
Note: This exploit was patched after Version 1.1. Before crossing the Woesong Bridge to leave the town of Midcopse in White Orchard early in the game, jump over the fence to enter a grass pasture with some cows at this location. Kill all the cows at that location with your sword or fire magic. Then, meditate for two hours where you killed them by pausing the game, selecting "Meditation", and advancing the time by two hours. This will force two cows to respawn. Kill the cows again, and repeat the process to accumulate a large number of cow hides, as well as meat for healing. Once satisfied, go to the merchant directly across the road from the cow pasture. Talk to him, then select the "Other" tab from his shop's inventory to find the "Cow Hide" option to sell all of your hides to him. Repeat this process as many times as desired. Note: Since the nearby merchant only has a limited number of crowns, you will need to sell the cow hides to other shop keepers to get more crowns.
Go to the following location in "Velen - No Man's Land", which is southwest of Novigrad. Go under the water (near the wrecked ships), and start shooting at the three Level 10 Drowners with your crossbow to one-hit kill them. After killing the three Drowners, simply turn the camera in a 360 degree circle, and they should keep respawning. They are guarding a nearby chest -- so do not open the chest or the Drowners will stop respawning. If you keep shooting your crossbow towards the Drowners, the game will simply auto-aim at them so you can easily kill them without much effort. You will also need to come up for air when you run out of breath. The Level 10 Drowners are worth 7 XP each. If you are Level 9, you can reach Level 11 in approximately 30 minutes using this farming method. Note: If the Drowners do not respawn, move around a little or turn the camera in the opposite direction to get them to respawn.
Go to the following location at the Clan Tordarroch Forge in The Skellige Isles, and kill all the goats. Next, meditate for one hour for the goats to respawn. If they do not reappear, meditate again for another hour. Kill all the goats again. Repeat this process as many times as desired. Then, loot all the goat corpses to get lots of goat milk, meat, and goat hide. Note: Goat hides are heavy.
While sprinting, jump immediately before your stamina is empty, then release [Sprint]. When you land, your stamina will be full or close to full. A second after you land, press [Sprint] again. If timed correctly, you will not lose your stride.
Use the following trick to store items that you do not want to carry in your inventory. Enter the Inn in Skellige, and go to a corner in the room. Drop all your items at once, and they will appear as a bag on the floor. You can return to retrieve them whenever desired. To add something else to the pile, pick up the bag, and then drop it again after it has the additional item.

Pulp Fiction reference.
Successfully complete the "Family Matters" quest, then enter the Bloody Baron's Castle. Go to the basement using the central staircase to encounter two guards having a conversation. Listen closely to hear them reenacting the "Gimp" scene from Pulp Fiction .
Easy "Assassin Of Kings" achievement.
To take part in the assassination of King Radovid, you have to complete a series of lengthy side quests to trigger the "Reason Of State" side quest at the very end of the game. During the "Reason Of State" side quest, you will automatically assassinate King Radovid as part of the quest. If you miss one of the required side quests before going to the Isle Of Mists, you cannot trigger the "Reason Of State" side quest any longer. If you make a wrong dialogue choice during the "Blindingly Obvious" main story quest, you will also miss it. Make sure to always choose the first dialogue option at the end of this quest when talking to Dijkstra and Philippa. The necessary quests are all found in Novigrad. They are as follows:
1. Redania's Most Wanted 2. An Eye For An Eye 3. A Matter Of Life And Death 4. Now Or Never 5. A Deadly Plot 6. Blindingly Obvious [main quest] (always choose the first dialogue choice at end of quest when talking to Dijkstra and Philippa) 7. Reason Of State.
Make sure to do these quests as soon as they become available. The exact requirements to trigger each of the side quests are shown in the video below.
Easy "Bombardier" achievement.
You can simply buy six bomb formulae from a herbalist to get the "Bombardier" achievement. There is one located at the "Herbalist's Hut" fast travel point south-east of Novigrad. He offers eight different bomb formulae. This will cost you approximately 2,000 crowns. However, you can simply create a backup save before doing this, then sell all your crafting materials/alchemy ingredients to the merchant, and buy the formulae with the money. Then, just reload your saved game to get the money back.
Easy "Brawl Master" achievement.
There are 14 fistfights that you must win to get the "Brawl Master" achievement. After winning a fight, you will receive a fistfighting questline for that region. You can then track this side quest to see the next fight highlighted on the map. It does not matter which order you do the first three fights of each map, but the fourth fight (champion) is only unlocked after the other three fighters have been defeated. The fights get increasingly harder in each map. If you have too much trouble, lower the difficulty in the game options. The basic strategy for every fight is to counter (or dodge) an opponents attack, then use three quick strikes to hurt him. The fights will become available after completing the "Bloody Baron" main story quest in Velen. Simply walk up to the Bookie to start fighting. If you lose a fight, you can replay it by talking to the Bookie again (or load last checkpoint). Unlocking the very last fight requires you to complete a side quest to get rid of a wraith that haunts the arena. Let the wraith defeat you in combat, and talk to the guards in the watchtower near the arena to unlock the last fight. If you die against the champion of champions, you need to reload the last save game to try again. The following are the locations of all 14 fights:
1. Velen (Inn at the Crossroads) 2. Velen (Lindenvale) 3. Velen (Blackbough) 4. Velen (Crow's Perch) 5. Novigrad (Hierarch Square) 6. Novigrad (Oxenfurt Gate) 7. Novigrad (Novigrad Docks) 8. Novigrad (Glory Gate) 9. Skellige (Kaer Trolde Harbor) 10. Skellige (Arinbjorn) 11. Skellige (Harviken) 12. Skellige (Urialla Harbor) 13. Skellige (Hov) 14. Skellige (Hov)
Easy "Brawler" achievement.
To fight Olaf, you must first complete the other three fistfights on The Skellige Isles. The first one is in Kaer Trolde Harbor (town in the north of the main island), the second is in Arinbjorn (far west on the main island), and the third is in Harviken (small island in the south-east of the map). The fight against Olaf then takes place on Urialla Harbor (small island in the north of the map). Go to the arena to begin the fight. Then, dodge Olaf's attacks (B), and throw 2-3 heavy punches at him before you dodge again. You will get the "Brawler" achievement after finishing the dialogue after the fight.
Easy "Butcher Of Blaviken" and "Can't Touch This!" achievements.
A great place to get the "Butcher Of Blaviken" and "Can't Touch This!" achievements are at the "Hanged Man's Tree" fast travel point in Velen (middle of the map, where you enter Velen for the very first time). Near the fast travel point is a pack of Level 1 wolves. Block their attacks until they are all in front of you, then use the Igni sign to kill them instantly. While holding [Block], they cannot hurt you. If there are only a few wolves left, you can take them out with some quick attacks. Make sure to create a saved game before attempting this. If you fail, you can simply reload your saved game and try again. You can also make the wolves respawn by fast traveling to another map (away from Velen) and traveling back.
Easy "Can't Touch This!" achievement.
Find a group of underwater Nekkers, then use your crossbow to one-hit kill them.
After leveling high enough to inflict decent crossbow damage, go to the Devil's Pit in Velen. Run around and get at least five bandits from the camp to follow you, then return to the entrance. The enemies cannot get past the gate, and will line up at that boundary. Take out a crossbow, and auto attack them until all the bandits are killed. If something goes wrong, fast travel to another location, then return to respawn the bandits, and try again.
Easy "Environmentally Unfriendly" achievement.
The environment can be used in several ways to kill enemies:
Explosive Barrels: Ignite using the Igni sign or by attacking it. It will explode after a few seconds for a large amount of area of effect damage. Insects (Hornet Nest): Can be destroyed to unleash hornets on nearby enemies. Stack of Barrels: Topple over onto enemies using the Aard sign. Swamp Gas: Ignite using the Igni sign.
Easy "Even Odds" achievement.
The first contract available is "The Devil By The Well" in White Orchard, but may be difficult to complete without using oils and signs. Instead, consider doing this on the griffin in White Orchard. It is an easier fight, and will count as a contract even though it is required by the main questline. Another option is the werewolf at Velen during the "Wild At Heart" side quest. Although the quest does not appear as a contract in the journal, it also counts towards the "Even Odds" achievement.
Easy "Fist Of The South Star" achievement.
You can find a fistfight at the "Inn At The Crossroads" fast travel point on the "Velen" map. Go into the inn to find some men fighting in the corner, and talk to them to participate. When the fight starts, you must immediately hold [Block]. After blocking your opponent's strikes, use strong attacks (Y) to break his defense and knock him out.
Easy "Friends With Benefits" achievement.
To unlock the subplot involving Keira Metz, you must first complete the "Hunting A Witch", "Wandering In The Dark", and "Magic Lamp!" main story quests. In those quests, you will go through a dungeon with Keira (unmissable). After completing this story questline, you will automatically receive the "An Invitation From Keira Metz" side quest. Visit Keira in her hut in the woods of Velen to start the optional subplot. It consists of the following small side-quests:
1. An Inivtation From Keira Metz 2. A Towerful Of Mice 3. A Favor For A Friend 4. For The Advancement Of Learning.
Make sure to track the quests so you can see where to go next. Successfully complete these four quests to will receive the "Friends With Beneifts" achievement. Note: It is highly recommended to send Keira to Kaer Morhen at the end and not kill her, as it is required for the "Full Crew" achievement.
Easy "Full Crew" achievement.
The "Full Crew" achievement is easily missable. There are seven allies that you must recruit to get the "Full Crew" achievement. After completing the main quests in Kaer Morhen (towards the end of the story), you will get "The Isle Of Mists" main mission and four new "Brothers In Arms" quests. That is when you are supposed to recruit people for your upcoming battle in Kaer Morhen. You must play a series of lengthy side quests and subplots to recruit everyone, which takes several hours. Keira Metz and Triss can be recruited before reaching this point in the game and are the easiest to miss. You must recruit the following Allies:
1. Keira Metz: In Velen, send her to Kaer Morhen at the end of her subplot instead of killing her.
2. Triss Merigold: In Novigrad, complete her subplot. It starts with the "A Matter Of Life And Death" side quest and ends with the "Now Or Never" side quest. During the "Now Or Never" side quest, you must choose that you want her to stay and that you love her during the dialogue at the harbor. She will then go to Kaer Morhen automatically after a cutscene.
3. Roche: In Novigrad, complete the "An Eye For An Eye" side quest, then talk to Roche during the "Brothers In Arms: Novigrad" main story mission for him to go to Kaer Morhen.
4. Ves: In Novigrad, complete the "An Eye For An Eye" side quest, then talk to Roche during the "Brothers In Arms: Novigrad" main story mission, and he will bring Ves with him to Kaer Morhen.
5. Zoltan Chivay: In Novigrad, simply talk to him during the "Brothers In Arms: Novigrad" main story mission.
6. Ermion: In Skellige, simply talk to him during the "Brothers In Arms: Skellige" main story mission.
7. Hjalmar: In Skellige, complete the subplot about choosing Skellige's ruler for the "Kingmaker" achievement. Either Hjalmar or Cerys must become ruler of Skellige; it does not matter which one you help. Talk to them once they are ruler, and Hjalmar will come with you.
There are other characters you can talk to during the "Brothers In Arms" side quests. Also, some can be recruited from side quests, but they are optional and do not have an impact on this achievement. It does not matter if they die or whether you talk to them or not. You can simply skip them altogether. Cerys an Craite is only important if she becomes ruler of Skellige, as you then must talk to her.
These characters are not needed:
Emperor Emhyr Var Emreis (Royal Palace of Vizima) Letho (Velen) Sigismund Dijkstra (Novigrad) Folan (Skellige, during "The Lord Of Undvik" side quest) Vigi (Skellige, during "The Lord Of Undvik" side quest) Crach an Craite (Skellige) Cerys an Craite (Skellige; if she becomes ruler of Skellige, you need to talk to her, and she will send Hjalmar to Kaer Morhen)
The following things can go wrong or are missable:
You could end up killing Keira Metz if you make a wrong dialogue choice at the end of her subplot. Triss Merigold will sail away and never return if you do not tell her to stay and that you love her at the end of her subplot. If you choose the third dialogue choice during the "King's Gambit" side quest in the "Kingmaker" subplot, you will walk away and neither Hjalmar or Cerys will become ruler. Then, Hjalmar cannot be recruited any longer. You could ignore the "Brothers In Arms" story quests entirely and go directly to the Isle Of Mists; thus, missing all possible allies.
Easy "Humpty Dumpty" achievement.
A great place to kill 10 opponents by knocking them off somewhere high with the Aard sign is the Bandit Camp at the "Devil's Pit" fast travel point in Velen. There is a large Bandit Camp in this area. Lure some bandits to a ledge, preferably the one where you enter the camp. Block or counter their attacks to push them to the edge, then immediately use the Aard sign to knock them down the hill. Kill the enemies with two-handed weapons/axes with your sword, rather than the Aard sign. Their attacks cannot be countered and they do not usually fall off the ledge -- so they are only in your way. Once all enemies have been killed, fast travel to the Royal Palace on the "Vizima" map, then return to Devil's Pit. All the bandits will have respawned, and you can repeat the process. You should be able to get 4 to 6 kills each time. Note: You do not have to buy any skill upgrades to do this.
Easy "Kaer Morhen Trained" achievement.
This works best against human city guards with swords. Archers also work well since they always carry a sword. Look for a single city guard, and counter 10 attacks in a row. You must press [Block] just before the enemy is about to hit you. Always press [Block] when the enemy has his sword vertically above his head (a fraction of a second after he starts swinging the sword and a fraction of a second before he hits you). Your timing must be precise, and it will probably take a few tries. A good place to do this is by the river, north of the "Woesong Bridge" fast travel point on the "White Orchard" map (first town you enter in the game). There is a friendly archer in this area. Attack him to start the fight. By doing this against a friendly guard, he will only knock you out and not kill you. So if you make a mistake, you will respawn right in front of the archer without any loading time and can keep trying.
Easy "Kingmaker" achievement.
To complete the subplot about choosing Skellige's ruler, you must first complete "The King Is Dead - Long Live The King!" main story quest, which is the first main quest on The Skellige Isles. You will then automatically get two new side quests called "Possession" and "The Lord Of Undvik". You can mark them in the side quests tab in your inventory. The subplot about Skellige's ruler consists of the following four side quests: "Possession", "The Lord Of Undvik", "King's Gambit", and "Coronation". As soon as the "Possession" and "The Lord Of Undvik" side quests have been completed, you will automatically get the "King's Gambit" side quest. In this quest, you have to choose whether to go with Cerys or Hjalmar during a dialogue. This will decide who becomes the ruler, and is extremely important for the "Full Crew" achievement. If you do not help either of them, you will miss the "Full Crew" achievement. Thus, be sure to help either Cerys or Hjalmar; it does not matter which one you help.
Easy "Master Marksman" achievement.
A kill may not always count as a head shot, even if you fire at the enemy point blank in the face. Humans, dwarfs, and elves count as valid targets. Killing drowners will not count. You can damage your target with other weapons, but the final blow that kills must be a headshot with a crossbow bolt. A successful headshot is indicated by the screen shaking at the moment of death, with yellow text on the left side confirming a critical hit was made. A good place to farm kills is at the Devil's Pit in Velen. Lure enemies to the gate. They will not move past the gate if you do not get too close. Then, begin shooting them in the head. To stop the enemy from moving around, use the Axii sign, then fire a free aim kill shot. After killing all the enemies, fast travel to another location, then return to respawn more enemies.
Easy "Necromancer" achievement.
At the end of Chapter 2 on Roche's path, Dethmold will send you into a kingslayer's mind to act out some of his memories. Save the game before starting the process. There are six segments that must be completed. Since you must be successful on your first attempt, reload the saved game if you fail and get kicked out of the memory.
Kill the harpies without dying. For the traps on the ground, precisely follow Serrit's footsteps and path. Walk, and do not run. When sneaking through the camp, you cannot be seen. Follow the person on the left, and remain out of sight until you can move past him and the tents. When walking ahead, nothing special needs to be done. Kill the soldiers without dying to get the "Necromancer" achievement. There will be another fight that follows.
Easy "Overkill" achievement.
To easily get the "Overkill" achievement, use Broadhead Bolts (bleeding), Devil's Puffball Bombs (poisoning), and Dancing Star Bombs (burning). The Broadhead Bolts are available at most blacksmiths and have a 100% bleeding chance (each shot will always make enemies bleed for 15 seconds). The Devil's Puffball creates a poison cloud; the enemy must be standing inside the cloud to receive poison damage. The Dancing Star Bomb inflicts burning damage and has a much higher chance of burning enemies than Igni (but it is possible with Igni). The two bomb formulae can be bought at the Herbalist's Hut in Novigrad. Once you have all these items, go to the Devil's Pit Bandit Camp in Velen. Make sure to set the difficulty to "Death March" or the enemies will die too quickly. Start by shooting the Broadhead Bolt, followed by the Devil's Puffball, and then the Dancing Star Bomb. Stay very close to enemies so they cannot run away from the poison cloud. The three effects must be active on one enemy at the same time. Repeat this with ten enemies to get the achievement. You can meditate to replenish your bombs. Fast travel to another map to make the bandits respawn. Note: You can also do this against most other human enemies, animals, and several monster types. Some enemies are resistant to some of the three required effects -- so it will not work on all enemies. It works best on bandits, bears, wolves, cyclopes, and anything else without armor.
Easy "Power Overwhelming" achievement.
Places Of Power are glowing ritual stones hidden in the woods of the "White Orchard" map (where the game starts). They are marked with question marks on the map until you have discovered them. Activating a Place Of Power will earn you a skill point and give you a significant boost for one of your signs. Each Place Of Power corresponds to one of your signs (Axii, Yrden, Quen, Igni, and Aard). After activating the stone, an icon will appear at the top of the screen indicating the remaining time for that particular bonus effect. They stay activated for 30 minutes. You must have all five Places Of Power activated simultaneously to get the "Power Overwhelming" achievement. Search the White Orchard area to find the five different stones, then use your horse or fast travel to activate all of them before the previous ones expire. Note: There are two "Quen" Places Of Power at this location; make sure you do not use the "Quen" stone twice.
Easy "Shrieker" achievement.
The Shrieker contract starts at the quest board in Crow's Perch ("Velen" map). Make sure you are tracking the quest to see where you must go. Talk to the man down by the village, and accept his offer. Ask the child behind the house about the Shriker, and go to the target area. Investigate the site to find some blood trails. Follow the blood, go into the cave, and throw a bomb at the Shrieker's nest to lure it out. Then, kill the Shirker outside the cave, and return to the man in the village to collect your reward and get the "Shrieker" achievement.
Easy "That Is The Evilest Thing" achievement.
Obtain the formula to craft bombs from The Herbalist's Hut Signpost to the north-east of Oxenfurt. It sells the required ingredients. Once it has been crafted, find an enemy or group of enemies and cast Igni. After it begins to burn them, throw a Dragon's Dream Bomb at the enemy. This will ignite the gas from the bomb and cause an explosion. Repeat this process as many times as needed to get the "That Is The Evilest Thing" achievement.
Easy "The Enemy Of My Enemy" achievement.
For the Axii sign to turn an opponent against another, the Tier 2 Axii "Puppet" skill is required. The first level will temporarily turn a target into an ally and give them a 60% damage boost, which can be upgraded two more times to 60%. Find a group of enemies, and weaken all but the strongest one. Then, use Axii on that strong enemy.
Easy "Triple Threat" achievement.
You can easily kill three opponents in one fight using three different methods at the "Hanged Man's Tree" fast travel point in Velen (middle of the map, where you enter Velen for the very first time). By the time you enter Velen, you will automatically have a crossbow in your inventory. Equip the crossbow and Igni sign. Then, kill some wolves near the fast travel point with the Igni sign, use your sword until only one is left, then kill the last one with your crossbow to get the "Triple Threat" achievement.
Easy "What Was That?" achievement.
First, craft a bomb with alchemy. The necessary ingredients can be bought from herbalists (there is one in the middle of White Orchard). Put the bomb in your inventory, and look for an enemy. Make sure it is not a weak enemy, as you may one-hit kill it. Start with the counter attack, followed by a quick attack, throw the bomb, and cast the sign at the end to get the "What Was That?" achievement. Note: Do not forget to select the bomb in your weapon wheel before the fight.

Cheats and Secrets.
IGN's Cheats and Secrets for The Witcher 3 guides you to every hidden area, through every obscure puzzle and cryptic code. Whether you're looking for Secret Treasure Loactions or searching for locations in our Interactive Map you've come to the right place.
Edit Unlimited Money Exploit.
This exploit can earn you 1000 crowns per minute. You must buy shells from a merchant in Novigrad, then dismantle them and then sell the pearls they contain for a higher price. It works like this:
Step 1: Go to the merchant at Hierarch Square in Novigrad. Buy all his Shells and Sea Shells. Buy as many as you can, his inventory will replenish if you exit the shop. Step 2: Go to the armorer right next to the merchant. Dismantle the Shells to get Pearls and Black Pearls. Step 3: Sell the pearls to the armorer until he runs out of money. Step 4: Meditate for 5 days and the armorer will have roughly 1000 coins again. Sell Pearls to him again. Step 5: Repeat.
Buying and dismantling a Shell costs 8 coins. Selling the pearl you get from it gives you 109 coins! That's 101 coins profit per shell!
You can keep doing this for however long you want. Should the merchant not have shells in stock you need to meditate or fast travel to another map, then check again.
EditAlternate Money and Cow Milk Exploit.
While not has high profit as the Pearl exploit, you can kill the two cows at the entrance to White Orchard for their pelts to sell and cow's milk to drink. If you meditate for two hours, they will respawn (alongside their fallen brethren). You can then sell the hides for 27 coins a piece, and the milk restores vitality for a whopping 30 seconds. The nearby merchant doesn't have a lot of money to trade, so you'll either have to meditate for five full days, or fast travel to other merchants who will buy the pelts.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Xbox One X patch will also add HDR.
By Sherif Saed, 20/12/2017 10:43 GMT.
It looks like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt may support HDR after all, according to the official Xbox One X enhanced games list.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s story with the mid-generation hardware upgrades has always been a strange one, and this new chapter makes things even more interesting.
Previously, developer CD Projekt Red said that it won’t be upgrading the game to support PS4 Pro or Xbox One X, until the game’s logo showed up on Microsoft’s E3 stage where it was revealed that Wild Hunt is in fact getting an update. Since then, the developer released a PS4 Pro patch but the Xbox One X one remains MIA.
On Microsoft’s official Xbox One X enhanced games list, where the company lists all games that feature any enhancements on Xbox One X, The Witcher 3 was always listed as a 4K game, but not an HDR one. Things appear to have changed, though, as the HDR logo is now visible alongside the 4K one.
The change was noticed by WCCFtech, who also point out that the release was updated to “coming soon” instead of “in development”, which typically means the patch is close to release. Developer CD Projekt Red has been a bit quiet when it comes to Witcher 3 Xbox One X news, but it’s safe to say the Xbox One X patch is not going to happen this year.
Update: CD Projekt RED actually just announced that The Witcher 3 patch 1.60 has been released for Xbox One X, bringing both HDR and the 4K upgrade.
Community lead at CD Projekt Red, Marcin Momot, confirmed that HDR is indeed coming, but didn’t give a release date.
HDR support for Xbox One X automatically means it will be added for the S model. Theoretically, the same can be done for the PS4 version.
