Grzegorz Mocarski, the designer of the game made several weapons for the Witcher which makes him stronger. Geralt in the game can possess weapons like crossbow, swords and bombs. Geralt can block attacks from the opposition, but his sword needs to be repaired on a regular basis. The fast attacks are weak whereas the slow attacks make a huge impact on the life of the villain. Geralt also knows few magic tricks; these skills allow the Witcher to rip the enemies apart. The magic tricks cannot be repeated infinite times as they consume a lot of stamina. Geralt’s power can be boosted using mutagens, and the armour protects the hunter from the enemy attacks to some extent. Meditation or foods or potions can be used to restore the protagonist’s health. Players can also take help of Ciri at certain points in the game, Ciri can teleport.
