The chapter contains descriptions of fights with strong enemies which you will encounter during the main quests in Toussaint.
Among the enemies there are the golyat, shaelmaar, Wicked Witch and Dettlaff (the final boss).
The descriptions contain suggested tactic and information about opponent’s weaknesses.
The duel withGolyatstarts after you reachToussaintduringThe Beast of Toussaintmain quest.
Take some time to learn the basic attacks of the golyat.
Another powerful attack of the golyat is hitting the ground with its melee weapon.
Before starting the battle with the golyat, first see if Geralt has ogre oil in his inventory.
In addition to that, set Quen as the active sign.
Quickly jump away after that so that the golyat won’t have time to respond to this attack.
Don’t worry about other people who attack the monster, they cannot die.
The encounter withThe Bruxa of Corvo Biancotakes place duringThe Beast of Toussaintmain quest.
More specifically, it happens after you reach the basement of theCorvo Bianco Vineyard.
In addition to that, check that that Geralt uses the vampire oil on his sword.
Yrden sign can be very helpful in defeating bruxa.
Remain in the magic circle after it activates and wait for bruxa to appear.
Use the fact that the circle will weaken her and start attacking her.
Repeat the described procedure until the bruxa is finally defeated.
Shaelmaaris a powerful creature which you must face duringThe Beast of Toussaintmain quest.
The battle with this monster will take place on an arena in theTourney Grounds.
Shaelmaaris a tricky opponent.
The monster deals high damage and his thick armor successfully blocks most regular attacks.
Jump away just before he hits you (or rely on Quen).
The enemy will fall on his back, as shown on the above picture.
Most of the duel will look similar.
The only exception is the situation when the boss losses 2/3 of its health.
The shaelmaar will bury himself in the ground then and start throwing small rocks at you.
You should move away to a safe distance and wait for this attack to end.
The first encounter withDettlaff,The Beast of Beauclair, happens after you start the main questBlood Run.
What’s very important, you don’t need to defeat Dettlaff at all cost.
If you are ambitious and/or your Geralt is strong enough, you’re free to try defeating Dettlaff.
In that case, prepare vampire oil and some Black Blood potion.
During the battle you should also use the Quen sign.
This tactic is time-consuming, but effective if you don’t make any serious errors.
If you manage to win the duel, as reward you will receive 1000 additional experience points.
TheWightis a monster Geralt has to take care of during theLa Cage au Foumain quest.
The monster can be found in theTrastamara Hunting Cottage.
Dodges are also useful when dealing with the second key in of attack of the monster.
The Wight will vanish from the battlefield and move underground.
When it happens make a run at follow its movement and prevent it from getting close to Geralt.
you might prepare yourself for the encounter by applying the necrophage oil on the sword.
This in turn will expose it to Geralt’s attacks.
Continue using the mentioned sign and melee attacks and the boss should soon by lying dead on the ground.
Alpha Garkainis a boss which Geralt must defeat if you start the main questBlood Simplein which you help Orianna.
Tracking Garkain is one of the most important parts of this quest.
Geralt will find the monster hanging under a bridge.
You should prepare yourself well before fighting this monster.
Similarly as when facing other vampire creatures, use vampire oil and prepare the Black Blood potion.
In addition to that, you might equip Moon Dust or Samum bombs and some medicaments against poison.
Set Quen or Igni as active Witcher Sign.
Quen will help you in avoiding damage if you don’t manage to dodge one of the attacks.
Igni will allow you to successfully burn the garkain and make him vulnerable to further attacks.
Try spending some time on learning garkain’s attacks.
In addition to fast attacks with upper limbs the beast has two unique abilities.
you’re free to avoid this attack by jumping to the side at right time.
The second unique ability is creating shockwave that can stun Geralt and make him a vulnerable target.
Thanks to that the wave won’t reach you.
Look for opening to attack after each of his unsuccessful attacks.
Try making it impossible for the boss to hit you because he can poison Geralt.
If that happens, you must quickly use antidote or at least some stronger healing items.
before you jump in fighting the opponent, use relict oil on your silver sword.
In addition to that, first take core of the newarchesporeso that later it won’t interrupt you.
Otherwise Geralt will receive some serious damage.
Notice that before using the acid attack the witch lowers its flight and deactivates the barrier.
After the witch lands on the ground, focus only on attacking theBroom.
Destroying it will make it impossible for the witch to fly above the battle arena.
Repeat this until you kill the opponent.
The confrontation with the wolf will occur while searching for magic beans needed for leaving the fairy land.
Before starting the battle you should use beast oil on your silver sword.
You don’t have to worry about her, she can’t die.
Defeating the Big Bad Wolf equals obtaining theRed Bean.
The battle with this monster will occur while searching for the magic beans needed for leaving the fairy land.
Longlocks can be found at the top of the tower.
Defeating Longlocks shouldn’t be very troublesome.
Before the combat starts, use wraith oil and set Yrden as active Witcher Sign.
Once the fight starts, use Yrden sign to set the magic circle.
Attack the Longlocks whenever she appears inside the circle.
In the meantime dodge and block her attacks.
After some timeskeletonswill join the fight.
Before the fight starts, use ogre oil and set Igni as active sign.
Don’t attack the giant in the regular way.
Once the boss regains full strength, move away from him and look for another electrified cage.
Repeat the steps until the giant is dead.
More specifically, you’re able to encounter the Beast of Beauclair after starting theTesham Mutnamain quest.
Geralt will be forced then to defeat Dettlaff in combat.
In that case you could decide whether to kill him or let him walk away.
After you move forward a cutscene will start during which Regis will be removed from the fight.
Because of that Geralt will be forced to defeat Dettlaff without the help of the friendly vampire.
Try completing it without using potions and other valuable supplies, they will be much more needed later.
Start with moving through the arena and waiting for opening to weaken Dettlaff.
It will make him lose the balance and will give Geralt a chance to deal some damage to him.
Optionally you could switch to Igni for this phase of the battle.
Successfully using this sign can temporarily leave Dettlaff vulnerable to sword attacks.
It will be a signal to start the second phase of the battle.
The first one is the attack from the air.
This action must be performed with perfect timing to succeed.
The next ability of Dettlaff is very dangerous.
He is able to summon a group of bats and then send them at Geralt.
Don’t count on Quen shield to save you from the bats.
When you notice the boss summoning the bats, move quickly to the opposite end of the arena.
Jump to the side only after the bats start flying towards Geralt and they are nearby.
it’s possible for you to’t move away too quickly or too late.
Further in this phase of the battle on the arena some pillars of blood will appear on the arena.
You won’t miss the moment when the third and final phase of the battle starts.
During this phase you should perform as many dodges as possible and keep away from Dettlaff.
Don’t attack him.
Remember to have Quen sign active in case that Dettlaff manages to reach and attack you in time.
Destroying all organs will take away the rest of Dettlaff’s health.
All that’s left for you to do is to run towards him and finish the vampire.
