The Wild Hunt serves as the main protagonist group throughoutThe Witcher 3.
However, while their presence is always felt during the story, they don’t actually appear too often.
Therefore, you’re more prone to making mistakes.
The first step to avoid that is knowing what these common blunders are.
Few mortals can survive a battle with the villainous group.
Even Vesemir can’t survive their might.
They aren’t quite as unbeatable in gameplay, but they’re still pretty tough.
So, the last thing you want to do when battling them is make a mistake.
Unfortunately, the game doesn’t always make clear what missteps you should avoid.
That’s why we put together this list to give you a heads-up.
Yet, looking back at the piece, we felt it could be improved.
Thus, we’ve tidied it up and added some other mistakes you should avoid.
Thankfully, the game makes things simple by making each of them weak to Elementa Oil.
So, don’t put any other substance on your blade before fighting with The Wild Hunt.
However, most of the people by your side are superficial additions that don’t impact the fight.
So, it’s worth keeping him alive until that point.
Firstly, you oughta have him survive the second game or simulate a save where he’s still alive.
If you don’t, the fights outside Kaer Morhen will be a little harder.
Therefore, it’s important to know about their spikes.
Once they’re less prickly, you’re free to slice them with your blade.
It’s up to you to save him in time, or else he dies permanently.
Or at least that is the case if Keira Metz isn’t around.
If she’s there during the skirmish, she always saves Lambert no matter what.
6Using Aard
Signs are a very useful part of a Witcher’s arsenal.
Aard, in particular, is usually an effective power, except against The Wild Hunt.
While you might find times to use it against these beasts, it’s not usually worth it.
All using Aard tends to do in these sorts of battles is drain your stamina.
Igni, Yrden, and Quen are the signs you want to be using while battling The Wild Hunt.
Even though the hounds are small, they still do some damage.
And if you’re not paying attention, they can quickly swarm you.
It’s worth doing, too, as you get a bonus interaction with the experienced Witcher.
There’s also a woman called Countess Mignole from the Hearts Of Stone DLC.
You meet her while at the Borsodi auction house.
She and Vesemir used to be lovers, so she is naturally hurt when she hears about his passing.
Your objective is to destroy the portals that The Wild Hunt riders are pouring through.
You have two ways to break them.
you’re able to either use bombs to blow them up or destroy them using Yrden.
You don’t want to be trying to take down Imlerith with a basic blade.
You want something like a Witcher sword or the Tlareg in your hands.
Good armor is also essential, as these enemies tend to pack a punch.
