In addition to the standard elixirs of amplification, mutagens are present in the game The Witcher 2. How to use these substances, every player should know, because this will help significantly strengthen the main character. You can get them in the most unexpected ways, and therefore you should carefully examine each corpse of a monster or back streets in an old house.
What are mutagens
The user who has begun to go through the storyline campaign must be sure to know what mutagens mean in the Witcher 2 project. Every user should know how to use them, but before that it is necessary to understand the properties of these objects. They look like ordinary chemicals, but have special abilities to enhance skills and basic characteristics. These substances differ from standard elixirs in that they have a constant effect of improving parameters. If the potions enhance the main character named Geralt only for a while, then it’s enough to use the mutagen once, and with increasing levels the value will be saved in the future.
Mutagen use
When the player understands what mutagens are in the Witcher 2 game , how to use them is the next stage of familiarization with alchemical substances. First of all, the main character needs to get to the place of meditation and enter this mode. This is the only way to improve the character, and this also applies to mutagens.
If the substance concerns skills (strength, agility, speed, endurance), then it is necessary to go to the display window of mutagens. There will appear a list of available items to enhance the characteristics. If the player has made a choice, then just press the spacebar, and Geralt will become a little stronger.
And special skills (reflection of arrows, a whirlwind of battle, and others) in the skill tree are displayed with a special point in the form of a hole for inserting an object. If a player likes some skill and has a desire to improve it, then, of course, you should know how to do it in the game The Witcher 2. It’s not difficult to understand how to use mutagens, just move the cursor over the chosen skill and click “improve”, after which amplifications from the alchemical substance will appear under the description.
Where to find mutagens
We will continue to teach an important skill in the game The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - how to use mutagens. But first they need to be found or created. In the first case, the gamer should, along with the main character, inspect all the nooks and crannies for prey. Particularly often, substances of this direction drop out of unique enemies. For this reason, always inspect the corpses so as not to miss anything important.
Mutagens are quite rare items, and such a prey cannot be obtained from ordinary utopits. At the same time, the chance of a substance falling from a wyvern or a basilisk is much higher, in addition, it may turn out to be of legendary quality. Fans of RPG games will not have a problem with the inspection, because they have already gotten into the habit of this. For those who do not like to do such work, there is an opportunity to create mutagens with the help of alchemy in the game The Witcher 2.
How to use them, the question will not arise, because the mechanism is fully described in the previous paragraph. To create such an item, you must first find a recipe. And then - find all the necessary ingredients and combine them into one.
Division into categories
It is worth knowing whether the mutagens acquired in the Witcher 2 game are the same in effect, how to use their properties. All this will become clear from the description of the characteristics. The main division occurs between parameters and skills.
The first category includes mutagens of critical effects, health, strength, magic, gain and range. In this case, the amount of armor, damage by monsters, range of using signs, the duration of various effects, and much more will increase.
The second category includes special mutagens for improving specific skills. Out of the entire huge tree of skills, only fourteen parameters lend themselves to alchemical substances. Among them, the most important are Berserk, Immortal, Whirlwind of Battle, and Metathesis. These are combat skills that should be improved as soon as possible.
In addition, mutagens are divided among themselves into weak, ordinary and powerful, as well as by the quality of the item itself (magic, rare, legendary).
General tips for using mutagens
In order to fully study the mutagens proposed in The Witcher 2 (how to use them, what are they for), you need to go through a story campaign more than once with all the additional missions. Then the player will understand what character he wants to create and in what areas to improve it.
It is always worth remembering that if you used a number of mutagens, and then the skill in the alchemical branch to strengthen them, then this will not work. Only new improvements will already give an increased effect. Applying objects to skills must be careful, because the property will remain with Geralt forever. And for the most important skills it is worth using only powerful mutagens in order to get the greatest benefit in terms of improvements.
