Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start the Hearts of Stone expansion?
Hearts of Stone can be started in two main ways: either integrate it into the main game after completing the 'Broken Flowers' quest (part of the main story) or select 'Hearts of Stone only' from the main menu, which provides a pre-leveled Geralt. The quest 'Evil's Soft First Touches' will appear in your journal, directing you to the notice board in the Seven Cats Inn.
What is the recommended level for Hearts of Stone?
The recommended level for Hearts of Stone is approximately level 30 for players integrating it into an existing save. If you choose the 'Hearts of Stone only' option from the main menu, you will start with a level 32 Geralt, equipped with appropriate gear.
What new gameplay mechanics or features does Hearts of Stone introduce?
The most significant new mechanic is the Runewright, located in Upper Mill, north of Oxenfurt. For a fee, he can enchant your gear with powerful 'runewords' or 'glyphwords' that combine the effects of multiple runes or glyphs into unique bonuses, often requiring you to sacrifice your gear's upgrade slots.
Who are the main characters featured in Hearts of Stone?
The primary new characters are Olgierd von Everec, an immortal nobleman who tasks Geralt with completing three impossible wishes, and Gaunter O'Dimm, also known as the Master Mirror or Man of Glass, a mysterious and powerful entity who holds Olgierd to a dark pact and offers Geralt a deal.
How long is the Hearts of Stone expansion?
Hearts of Stone typically offers around 10-15 hours of gameplay, depending on how thoroughly you explore the new areas, complete all side quests, and engage with the new Runewright system. It's known for its compelling story and challenging boss fights.
