Quick Links
The druids of Skellige are a prominent organization of magically proficient men in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Witcher 3. I🐽n the game, Geralt can find the group more available, and less illegal, than the Lodge of Sorceresses. They play a key role in some quests and can even sell Geralt vital alchemical recipes.
The latter service needs some effort to be fully unlocked. You will have to complete the quest Practicum in Advanced Alchemy, a lengthy adventure that has Geralt complete a series of tasks in a bid to become a skilled alchemist's apprentice. These tasks befit the 🍰tutelage Geralt will receive, which is to say that they are difficult.
Starting Practicum In Advanced Alchemy
While there is more than one way to star this quest, all roads lead to the druids' headquarters at Gedyneith where you will talk to Gremist, sit♔ting outside hisꦅ cave not far from the Fast Travel point.
You will overhear another druid urging Gremist to find an apprentice to teach before he takes his vast knowledge of alchemy to the grave. Talk to Gremist to put yourself forward as a potential apprentice. He will turn Geralt down, though he eventually relents on the condition that Geralt complete three tasks for him.
- Take a pimpernel from a nearby forest.
- Retrieve a bottle of Skellige Spirit from a long-abandoned distillery.
- Persuade Fritjof to help Gremist with his ritual.
You can complete these trials in any order.
Finding Pimpernel Petals
According to Gremist, pimpernel grows in a forest to the south of Druid's Camp, where you will begin searching.
Use your Witcher Senses within the search area, using it to highlight a pair of bald pimpernel plants. It would appear that someone else had already plucked the petals off. Before Geralt steps away, another druid will appear, searching🥃 for a missing trainee sent on the same task.
The druid tells Geralt that Gremist has frequently sent young druids to pick pimpernel. All of them had returned empty-handed. This druid has had enough and asks for Geralt's help in putting a stop to whatever ཧis responsible.
Once again, use Witcher Senses to find a set of bipedal footprints leading away from the site. It will lead you into a pack of wolves and another picked pimpernel. The tracks diverge in two directions.
|
North |
Following this set of tracks has you crossing paths with an armored arachas and a body buried under rocks. |
|---|---|
|
South |
This path brings you to the monster responsible, a succubus, and the missing druid. |
The succubus tells the pair that she has not murdered anyone in anger and had been sending the trainees away after draining them. If you had found the body, she claims that the victim had consented despite her warnings.
You will have to decide if she should be spared. This choice will not affect the quest's outcome.
Looking at the situation as a game and disregarding the narrative aspect of the decision, killing the succubus will get you a Succubus Mutagen. This item is needed to create the Succubus Decoction, which increases Geralt's attack 🅰power as a fight drags on.
This is a chance to get one if you spared the succubus in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Contract: Deadly Desires.
The pimpernel is in the succubus' cave, which you will search after making a decision on the monster. Head inside and take a handful of petals to complete this stage of the quest.
Getting The Skellige Spirit
One of Gremist's demands will have Geralt go into the mountains not far from the succubus' cave. The꧑ long-abandoned distillery there had once made some of the best spirits in the region. Geralt will have to somehow create a fresh bottle for the old man.
The cause for the distillery's collapse becomes apparent once you get inside. A cyclops has made its home inside. You will have to kill it before continuing.
After you have made the facility safe, go into the small shack at the south end of the cave, near the entrance. Look for a set of instructions left by the former manager inside. It outlines the three st🉐eps needed ♐to distill a bottle.
The first step is to find mash, the raw material that will be processed into the drink. It is on the scaffolding to the left of the distille🍒ry's equipment. Climb up and loot the bottle for it.
With it in hand, go to the center machine to place it inside. Cast Igni to ignite the flame underneath. The mi✨xt𒊎ure will be quickly brought to a boil.
Run over to the levers on the right of the machines. Start by pulling the right lever followed by the left one. With these steps, you have successfully recreated a legendary drink, com𝕴pleting another task on Geralt's list.
Convincing Fritjof
The final task is to convince the weather-controlling druid, Fritjof, to help Gremist with his ritual. You will find him at Blandare, preparing to end a drought by summoning a storm. He will agree to help Geralt in exchange for protection during his ritual.
He will sacrifice a goat, starting the ritual. Foglets will attempt to disrupt it, attacking in pairs. You will need to stop three groups of foglets before the ritual comes to an end. They tend to ignore the druid, making this quest muchไ easier.
Use Moon Dust bombs to keep the foglets from disappearing into mist.
Fritjof will uphold his end of the bargain and visit Gremist after 🦩his work is complete.
Becoming Gremist's Apprentice
Once you have completed all three tasks, return to Gremist to report your success. He will not tell Geralt what the ritual is and orders his prospective new student to return in a day.
After passing the time, Geralt will find that♏ the "ritual" was merely an excuse for the two old men to get drunk. Fritjof persuades his friend to let Geralt j𝓀oin in, ending the quest.
You will receive some alchemy ingredients for completing the quest. Gremist will also become available for the quest Gwent: Skellige Style.
Gremist will begin selling Geralt alchemy-related goods. You can find rare ingredients and crafting diagrams from him. He will also sell Potions of Clearance, used to respec Geralt's skill points.
