Yes, the Golden Gun of The Witcher 3 is your normally useless crossbow. But only underwater.
skeletonbow: I'm going to more or less avoid them for now, at least in large groups. If it were only 1 or 2 I might try to tango with them though, but I encountered like 7 of them and just put Roach into turbo mode to sail past them. :) I've got the Temerian armor set and a silver sword that does up to 125 damage I think. I don't know what those creatures are vuln too though as I don't have them in the bestiary yet. I imagine I will soon though as I'm battling like 342342 wraiths at the moment so I'm sure to gain a level soon hopefully. :)
Yeah, the crossbow has been less than useful so far. It's more like throwing a nerf soccer ball at someone. I think you need to get custom crafted bolts to make it useful, I have 3 different types and they all suck. I mainly use it to let creatures know where I am and lure them to me.
CharlesGrey: The regular, smaller Endrega were OK, but there was also a bigger one ( warrior? ) which took a while to defeat. Most creatures still seem to kill me with a few attacks, so I'm relying a lot on bombs, signs and heavy abuse of the dodge maneuvers. I'm also still going with style over efficiency at this point, so I'm not even using the best armor I found, since I still like the look of the first armor set. :P
Using the crossbow to pull enemies and take them on one at a time is a good strategy, I'll have to try that. So far I haven't used it much outside of the griffin fight. Are those custom crossbow bolts unlimited as well, or do they work kind of like bombs? The Witcher is notorious for giving you ugly armor that is way better than your awesome looking armor. You can upgrade your original armor though to one that has a defense of 30 and 13% buff against monster attacks.
Your crossbow bolts that are crafted are finite. You should see a number amount next to the item when you buy in store or a number amount when you crafted prior to completion.
