Help Chapter III - Salamandra hideout in the restricted area

[bananaword]

Hello everybody,
I don't know why I still keep dying at this point, the mobs look pretty stupid to the point that I couldn't find a guide to this fight.

3 hits and I'm dead and no chance to hit or stun the mobs with the Aard sign, even with the Swallow, Tawny Owl and Blizzard potions on and the use of the White Raffard's Decoction when in trouble.

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions?

With all those potions are you sure you aren't taking to many and causing yourself to lose health really fast? Sorry I had to ask because I remember messing up an easy fight over and over because I was taking to many potions at once and forgot that it will cut your life in half and cause you to lose life fast.

Thank you for your answer. Although taking all that potions, I have been careful keeping their toxic level under control, so I don't think that's the problem.

I saw some video online and saw that it's just a matter of:
1) not letting mobs fight behind my back in order to cast Aard on all of them - with the proper 180° talent, which I have;
2) pure luck casting the Aard sign in stunning and/or "single-shooting" and/or disarming the mobs;
3) drinking only the swallow potion, the others are basically useless for this fight.

At this point I just think that I'm not very lucky rather than a complete dumb. I have made attempt n. 10-11 so far and the best fight was with 1 single-shooting, dying 4 seconds later >_< wtf.

I managed to last a fair bit longer than three measely hits, but they do seem to attack you immediately upon loading. I get the feeling you're supposed to run around and grind a few more levels.

Are you using the Group style against them?

I tried that, I probably just need to drink a Swallow immediately before entering. Or, like I said, grind out a few levels so that I can get some more traits in the Group style tree.

If you're dying within 3 hits I'm almost wondering if you're just underleveled for the fight - have you done many side quests to level up and gain more skills?

Here's what I would do - take a swallow before you go in there, and as soon as you walk in there, cast quen and drink your blizzard, switch to group style fighting and see what happens. Use Aard when you have enough energy as that can stun enemies and make it easier for you to have an insta-kill on them. If you get in trouble, cast quen again and drink a white rafford.

If you're still dying at that point, go find some side quests to do and try to beef up Geralt a bit with more life or set him up to do more damage, etc. via group style sword-work.

Quen? I haven't found that one yet, just Aard and Igni. As far as I'm aware, the only place I haven't fully explored is the cave in the northwest, because the plants were too dangerous when I tried it.

Hi in case anyone seeks for solution. I died 3 times and realized that I needed to approach and kill the Mage first. Before entering the hideout, I drank both Tawny Owl and Blizzard, then waited until fight started, I ONLY headed and fought with the Mage using Group style. I killed both the Mage and his followers at the same time, and then the monster was the last one I killed. Hope this will help you out!
