For Geralt of Rivia, however, these monsters might as well be bread and butter.
It’s his job, after all, though not exactly the safest the world.
Some of them are true horrors of the underworld– demons even.
These are the 10 monsters that would have and should have given Geralt a need for a therapy.
However, the worst among these fodder Necrophages would be the Rotfiend.
These guys not only look like ugly flayed and bloated corpses, but they’re also ticking time bombs.
9FOGLET
No one rules the swamps and watery graves ofThe Witcher 3nastier than the Foglet.
They’re also Necrophages like Rotfiends except they frequent watery areas instead of battlefields.
Luckily, Geralt has no shortage of tools for dealing with Foglets.
Moon Dust or Yrden can break their illusions.
Meanwhile, Quen is also a great way of defending yourself against a Foglet’s cheaty stealth attacks.
8LESHEN
Leshen’s are Relicts, meaning old monsters or constructs (probably older than Geralt).
They are the dark fantasy equivalent of old men who want pesky young people off their lawn.
Hence, the Leshen wants you out of its forest immediately after you step in.
They also like to call backup when fighting you, such as wolves or crows.
When it comes to tree monsters, you probably know their weakness: fire.
Leshens can’t defend themselves while they’re burning.
The Botchling is one such example of this.
The poor thing, despite its horrid appearance, is just a victim of human suffering.
Heck, it wasn’t even born yet when it became a monster.
Dealing with a Botchling is rather easy if you decide to lift its curse.
Let that be a reminder that you’re killing an innocent.
Wraiths or their stronger variants, Nightwraits and Noonwraiths, are the spooky troubled Specters.
check that to fight them individually.
These are the Fleders, Ekimmaras, Garkains, and Katakans.
They all look like huge rabid and wingless bats.
Luckily, their weaknesses are all the same or similar.
These three hags look like they came straight out of theSilent Hillfranchise.
It’s a good thing you don’t get to fight them until near the end of the game.
you could only kill these Relicts as Ciri if both she and Geralt goes after Imlerith.
Beyond that, it’s a battle of endurance and attrition, sadly.
Relict oil can make the fight quicker, so use that.
Like the Crones, the Toad Prince likes to punish overzealous attackers and also hits like a truck.
Oh, and it’s also a hideous creature– it’s a giant toad, basically.
Golden Oriole is also a good potion to keep around in this fight for the poison.
Yrden is also a great way to slow down the lightning-quick giant toad.
For offense, it’s possible for you to’t do much other than Cursed Oil.
When all else fails, just lower the difficulty level, no shame in that.
Thankfully, The Caretaker is more bark than bite.
Its attacks are slow and easily predictable.
It’s a pretty straightforward battle.
That quest is called “Possession” and it involves a Specter called Hym.
It appears as a mere shadow to mortals which makes for some frightening quest sequences in-game.
Defeating one can prove troublesome as it requires an exorcism.
When cornered, however, a Hym is less scary since you could then fight its physical manifestation.
