Stuck in "Wandering in the Dark" with no potions and no food

[alexdnnbrg]

I am all out of food and not sure how to make potions. Now I am at this point

and I can't even use my sword for some reason, nor do I have a torch.
I just keep getting killed.
Anything I can do ?

reload a previous save or turn down the difficulty (in gameplay options)

You meditate to replenish your potions you just need strong alcohol.

You can't use your sword? What happens if you try to draw it by pressing the directional keys on your controller? (Right is silver sword, left is steel sword)

You meditate to replenish potions, but not sure if it'll let you meditate while in the middle of a quest like that. If you're totally overwhelmed (dying in one hit or something), try dialing down the difficulty in the game options, and also make sure you are casting Quen when you go into combat and when your quen shield runs out, re-cast it.

I'm at work and can't watch your video, sorry. :(

Many thanks. The sword problem is solved (there was something wrong with the controller, I have a new one now). Impossible to meditate at this point. I am not at all overwhelmed. I defeated the Golem without a scratch. So far the game has been too easy. A lower difficulty will be too much I'm afraid.

Yeah, this quest was surprisingly long. My silver sword was at ~ 20% condition by the end. All I can say is come prepared.

I did prepare. I had lots of food (all gone) and thunderbolt. What else should I have ?

Good deal, glad you got it solved. :) Remember the Quen sign is your friend. And I think during that quest you'll come across some food here and there in some of the containers, those may help you out.
