Alchemy is a vital tool in a witcher’s arsenal.
Being highly strategic fighters, they utilize their various concoctions to help in specific situations and against particular enemies.
Once acquired, a recipe clearly outlines the ingredients needed for that concoction.

Additionally, key materials such as mutagens can only be obtained by slaying various monsters.
Witchers can concoct Potions, Oils, and Bombs, all of which serve unique purposes in battle.
Potions
Witcher potions are deadly to humans.

Though witchers have a natural tolerance to them, each potion ingested still raises Geralt’s toxicity level.
Some recipes call for a monster component as well, such as Drowner Brains or Ghouls Blood.
These materials may be collected from slain monsters of the correlating species.

Decoctions
Decoctions are powerful potions granting superior and longer-lasting effects.
Decoctions require Relic-class mutagens from rare monsters, which can be exceedingly difficult ingredients to acquire.
But the heightened struggle is rewarded with a full thirty minutes of lasting effects.

Bombs
As one might guess, bombs affect areas within their blast radius.
Unlike potions and bombs, Oils do not deplete and, therefore, are not replenished through meditation.
Oils remain in Geralt’s inventory once concocted and may be readministered repeatedly.

The magnitude of impact also scales with the potency.
The base component for weapon oils is typically oil- commonly attainable bydismantlingpig hide.
If not oil, then tallow will serve as the base material.

After all, Geralt is a witcher; he should be proficient in the art of witch brews.
