What do you recommend leveling for early levels? I just beat the Griffin and have 2 points and haven't leveled anything yet.

Most people recommend dumping points in Quen early on, the alt mode gives you hp back when you get hit. Its also good to have at least two points in Axii for speech checks (some late game checks require 3 points). Two very simple things which I found to make death march easier were Tawny Oil - gives you increased stamina and the Gourmet perk - which gives you health regen for 20 minutes from eating a single item of food (some food gives you 50 health per second and some gives you 80).

Really, the Gourmet perk makes much of death march almost trivial, it was only just introduced with the Blood and Wine expansion. I stopped using quen quite early on and just had fun experimenting with the different signs. All of the signs can be very powerful in the right situations.

Death march just pumps the enemies above your level full of HP, and they hit very hard. Once you get to around lvl 22-25 youll be able to take on enemies 2-3 levels above you without much problem.

Cool, thanks man. Do I have to download Blood and Wine to get the Gourmet perk?

If you want the platinum, play on death march from the beginning of the game and don't change the difficulty or it won't count. I recommend death march and second hardest difficulty for just playing the game.

Its a little tedious at the moment since i'm trying to make the combat feel like second nature but I don't intend on changing diffculty though.
