Monsters from "The Witcher 3". Brief Bestiary

In the game "The Witcher 1", the monsters did not differ in variety. In the last part, the player will face a large number of opponents, each of whom needs his own approach.

The article will use abbreviations to denote additions: "Blood and Wine" - KiV, "Stone Hearts" - KS.

Ogres

Not the most common opponents the witcher will have to deal with. Monsters of this type are found mainly on assignments.

1. Nakery. Residents of caves, sometimes coming to the surface. Run by companies on 5-6 bodies. They attack from an attack, but are no longer capable of anything. Vulnerable to Igney.
2. Giants, cyclops. They attack from the start, stomp, wave their hands. Strong and wide attacks. Saves the “Quen” and waiting for the moment of attack.
3. Trolls. The attacks are the same as the giants. They can put a block. The rebound-strike tactic works 100%.

Damned

They are very rare in the game and it is not always clear who the player is dealing with.

1. Werewolves, Volkolaki. The most common type. They can walk accompanied by wolves. Keep a distance and attack jerkily.
2. Berserkers. Meet on Skellig in the shape of a bear at a feast at the Crash.
3. Archespore (KiV). A plant spitting acid. Damage is low. To win, you need to approach with rifts or evasion (ALT).

3. Algul. Able to release spikes from the back that reflect damage. Calms down from the "Axia".
4. Water, cemetery woman. Throws mud (blinds). The first can move under water, the second stings with a poisonous tongue. Igney and Quen completely suppress them.
5. Foulbroods. They look like utopits, but explode before death. Better to finish from afar with the help of bombs or burn "Igney".
6. Fog. It becomes invisible, creates clones. Exploding Quen will be most useful.

Vampires

The blood-sucking creatures of the Witcher world are not able to restore life by their attacks, and garlic with aspen does not scare them.

1. Ekimma. Two similar views. Able to become invisible.
2. Supreme vampire. In the basic version of the game, it turns into a monster similar to ecimma, but in addition the player will learn much more about them.
3. Fleder and Garkain (KiV). Lower vampires without special abilities.
4. Brooks (KiV). In addition to invisibility, it can teleport. Very fast moving. It is recommended to use the moon dust bomb.

Hybrids

Creatures resulting from crossbreeding. And usually a person with an animal.

1. Harpy, Erinia. Attack from the air. You can shoot down with a crossbow and finish off. Having caught it, it’s easy to set fire to Igney or use Aard. Against the loners come down and "Axius".

3. Griffins. Attack from a raid. On the ground, they can make a jerk forward or strike with a wing. Able to use scream to stun. It bleeds. Against him it is worth using Quen, quick attacks and a crossbow to bring down to the ground. Combining attacks and evasion, you can safely kill a monster 10-15 levels above the character.
4. Succubus. There are only two individuals in the game that you have to deal with. They use fire magic with great speed, so it’s worth settling the world. When deciding to fight, you can use Axius and the sword with a stun bonus.

Draconids

All-flying monsters with abilities like a griffin. The witcher is able to shoot them down from a crossbow and this will become the main tactic. Geralt must dodge acid spitting, use Quen, and force the monsters to land. After just chopping them off with quick attacks from the back.

2. Wyvern.
3. Willowtail.
4. Raptor (KiV). Breathes fire, standing on the ground.

Perfume

Ghosts and everyone who looks like them.

2. Midday, Midnight. Invulnerable to attacks until they hit the "Yarden" sign. Able to stun the witcher and split into several weak copies. The subspecies "The Maiden" can release a swarm of insects on Geralt.
3. Bargest (KiV). A ghost dog with all the abilities of the living.

The tactics of struggle are elementary. The witcher must slow down the ghosts of the Yarden and hack with all his might.

Elemental Spirits

1. Gargoyle. Throws suggestive stones, spits acid. Stomp in melee is able to throw back and inflict a lot of damage. Saves the "Quen" and the immobility of the monster during the eruption of fluid.
2. Golems and elementals. They have strong protection and block. Despite a variety of attacks, they are not dangerous. It’s also enough to use the Quen rollback.
3. Genie. The most dangerous opponent in the game. In the mode "To death" and "Level increase" kills with one spell. You need to use Quen and skills that increase health.

Insectoid

Distant relatives of ants and butterflies, but also monsters. The witcher destroys their hordes, but they will not stop climbing until the very end of the game.
