Places of Power will allow you to increase the intensity of Geralt's Signs and to gain one ability point only for the first time you find them. As you can see, they are very important in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, at least if you always want to have your character up to date.
Thanks to our guide, you can see where to find all the 15 Places of Power in the game. Our suggestion is to find them as early as you can, since you could need an extra help in the first stages of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
