In order to improve your alchemical skills and learn some rare recipes, you will have to complete the quest “Exercise in higher alchemy”. The Witcher 3, although it is a rather complicated game, but this task is no exception. Be well prepared before starting this quest. To start this adventure, you will have to go to the Skellige Islands. There, on the main island, go to its eastern part and find the mark “Gedinet Oak”. North of him, a druid Gremmist will be waiting for you, who will launch a chain of tasks.
Ritual
The quest Exercise in Higher Alchemy (The Witcher 3) consists of three parts. First, go to the neighboring village. There you will find another druid, puzzled by the question of calling the rain. Your task is to help him.
In principle, nothing complicated. Remember the Uncle ritual in Velen? Everything will be exactly the same, only now your opponents will not be drowners and a water woman, but foglights. This is much more dangerous, but quite easy to go through with the sign of Quen and a decoction from ecimma.
After completing the ritual, the druid will go to Grammist, and you can proceed with the next task of the quest "Exercise in Higher Alchemy". The Witcher 3 is not original in the quests, so this time you will again have to hunt down the monster.
Flower
Now you should find the "kuroslep" plant. Take the Roach and ride to the valley in which it grows. Arriving at the place, the witcher sees that all the flowers are torn off, and the meadow is trampled. But here is another druid. He will complain to you that some of the young students disappeared, going here for flowers. Agree to help him.
Search the clearing with your witcher instinct. Follow the traces found, not forgetting to destroy the monsters encountered. And there will be a lot of them, and not all are easy opponents. Especially the big eyes. At the end of the path, you will come across several neat graves in which the missing Druids lie. Sad news, but next begins a new trail. It's time for another chase.
Having reached the place, you finally overtake the killer ... and her next victim. You will be presented with a succubus with the last young druid. If you have already encountered a similar creature in Novigrad, you should have read in bestiary that succubi do not kill people for food or entertainment, but only in "ecstasy" if they cease to control themselves. So once again you have to choose whether to save the life of this hybrid.
- If you obey the elder druid and kill the succubus, you will have to look for the path to the cave yourself with the help of a witch's flair.
- Spare the creature, and she herself will give you the flower of the kuroslep in gratitude.
It is time for the last stage of the quest "Exercise in Higher Alchemy". The Witcher 3 is full of the most dangerous monsters and monsters. This time you have to defeat the cyclops.
Wine
So, go to the distillery. There is nothing special to do. Only kill Cyclops level 28. After that, you can do the most peaceful occupation in the game "The Witcher 3". The Exercise of Higher Alchemy quest will force you to boil alcohol for the druid.
Search the house and find the distillery records. From them you can find out the recipe for making a drink. Separately remember the order of leverage - it will come in handy. After that, go to the mechanism and climb the stairs to the upper platform. There will be malt needed for cooking. After that, get down and follow the directions from the recipe.
The final
Perhaps the most unexpected ending of the quest in the entire game "The Witcher 3". The exercises in higher alchemy, the passage of which you read, are coming to an end. Having kuroslep and swipes in the inventory, as well as inviting the druid for gatherings, go to Grammist.
Having received everything you need, he will drive you out and ask you to return in the morning. The next day, come to him and join the booze. In its course, you will learn all the secrets of "higher alchemy". Immediately upon completing the quest, be sure to bargain with him and buy a recipe for the Rebis substance. You will not be able to get it anywhere else, but it is often useful to you.
