Easy money

In Chapter 2 with Roche, you will arrive in the War Camp. At the camp, you can talk to the local Blacksmith outside the Canteen if you want to start practicing your arm wrestling skills for later. There are more arm wrestlers, but you will not need to challenge them all. You can even skip the Blacksmith if desired. Next, leave for the King's inner camp, where you will find the arm wrestling champion near a fire. Talk to him, fulfilling every topic, then ask about arm wrestling. The champ will tell you to climb the ranks by defeating others, but the option to wrestle will still be available. Select "Let's Go" to start the mini-game. This mini-game allows you to bet 100 Orens instead of the usual 30. You can also repeat this mini-game as much as desired. The arm wrestling champion in Chapter 1 (Bart Bargee) and Chapter 2 (Adam Pangratt) can both be fought as often as desired. It is possible to earn 200 Orens approximately every 20 seconds using this method. Note: You can also save as often as desired if you think you might lose.

Early Experience bonus perk

To unlock the 10% Experience bonus perk, you must destroy 10 training dummies. To do this during the Prologue, you must have an unpatched version of the game. Inside one of the tents in the War Camp, outside of Geralt's, are five training dummies. Destroy all five training dummies, then leave the area, and spend some time doing other activities. Play some mini-games, and talk to the other people around the area. Then, return to the training tent, and the five training dummies should have respawned. Destroy all five training dummies again to get the perk.

If the game is patched, you can use the following method to get the 10% Experience bonus perk early in the game. In Flotsam, you can find four more training dummies. The dummies in Flotsam should keep respawning. Destroy the five training dummies in the Prologue, and the four in Flotsam. Then, leave the area, and return to Flotsam. Destroy one of the four training dummies that respawned to get the perk.

Move faster

Get one of the first Warrior path skills, which is unlocked at Level 6 or 7 by spending points on the Witcher path. The Warrior skill allows you to dodge further distances. Level 1 is 100%, and level 2 is 200%. Take out Geralt's sword, and begin rolling when in a wide open area or deserted portion of a city. You will be able to travel faster than normal. If timed precisely, you can roll without pausing between rolls. Note: Having your sword out will draw the attention of the guards.

Assassin's Creed references

During the "Prologue - Barricade" mission, when you must destroy a gate by using a ballista, drop down the wall to a series of scaffolding, then reach the ground. Fight several soldiers from the rebellion group, and make your way to the guarded ballista. Kill the enemies and clear the square, then go further back from the ballista, and look to your right, beside a house. You will find a dead man dressed in a white robe with a red belt laying face down on top of a broken hay wagon (a reference to Altair Ibnu La Ahad). Look up to see a wooden ledge with a bird, which is where an assassin would usually survey the surroundings (synchronize), and perform the leap of faith. Geralt will say "I guess they never learn."

You can get a hidden ability named "Assassin" that gives a damage bonus on the attack that lands on the enemy's back. This is a reference to the back stab assassination in Assassin's Creed.
