Hi everyone.

I'm playing a new game+ at the Blood and Broken bones difficulty. I'm around level 50, and every time I try to start Destination: Skellige, I get absolutely massacred by the pirates that board the boat.

The recommended level is around 46, but I don't know how they figure that because some of the pirates don't even have a level shown even though I'm several levels higher than the recommended amount -- they just show a red skull and crossbones symbol!

I figure I'm just going to have to level up some by doing a few hunts. Has anyone else played the new game plus mode and got stuck at this point? Any hints or tips?

Ok, late reply. In my Vanilla NG+, the pirates are roughly lvl 46 (playing one of the lower difficulties). I don't think you have to kill the pirates (at least not all of them), just to survive a little while. So: potions, duck & cover ^^.
