Witcher 3: Werewolf - tips and tricks

Werewolves are one of the most difficult opponents in The Witcher 3. Here you will find the best tips to help you fight a werewolf.

Werewolf in The Witcher 3: All information

Werewolves are cursed beings in The Witcher 3. They are partly humans and partly wolves. This makes human intelligence and the killing instinct of the wolf a deadly combination.

• If a person has been cursed in The Witcher 3, there is nothing they can do about the nocturnal transformation. It is beyond his control.
• Werewolves are only active at night, especially on a full moon. They hunt alone, but call other wolves when they are in danger to help them.
• If the werewolf turns into a human again at sunrise, he cannot remember the night and what he did.
• Werewolves can regenerate injuries in a short time, making them even more difficult to defeat.
• The curse can be broken, but there is no method that is guaranteed to work. Possible options for curing so-called lycanthropy are a potion made with a virgin's tear, a shirt made from leaves of parsley or an act of true love.

The Witcher 3: Tips for fighting a werewolf

At some points in The Witcher 3 you have to fight a werewolf. For example, there is a fight in the side quest "Wild Heart". With the right tactics, you can defeat the cursed beings relatively quickly:

• Use the bomb "moon dust". This contains silver splinters and is particularly strong against werewolves. It also blocks the werewolf's automatic healing.
• The "Teufelsbovist" bomb is also very helpful. It creates a cloud that poisons the werewolf and constantly robs it of energy.
• Apply "Cursed Oil" to your silver sword before the fight. This increases the damage your sword does.
• The most effective sign is "Igni", with which you throw a jet of fire at the werewolf. "Quen" is also very strong - you can absorb a blow with it.
• In the side quest "Wild Heart" you should first kill the three wolves next to the werewolf. After that it is much easier to avoid enemy attacks.
• But be careful: do not allow yourself too much time during the fight. From half the life points, the werewolf begins to regenerate its life.
