Throughout Geralt’s adventures inThe Witcherfranchise, the titular monster slayer for hire has faced no shortage of dangerous creatures. One key element that has allowed Geralt to succeed at fulfilling various contracts is knowing how to handle different foes and using that knowledge to prepare accordingly beforehand. Betweencrafting potions and bombsthat can counter a specific monster type, such as Dimeritium Bombs that can block magic of all kinds, or visiting a crafter who can make new weapons and armor,The Witchergames have allowed fans to create various builds and gear sets for Geralt to use in different situations.
Knowing how versatile Geralt can be, oneWitcherfan posted a clip that showed how broken some builds are. On the r/Witcher3 subreddit, a user named anome97 shared a 42-second video of how they stun-locked a Griffin using only a crossbow and some blunt crossbow bolts. The battle took place in the no-mans-land of Velen, home to some ofthe more unforgettable quests inThe Witcher 3. The video was taken during a New Game+ run ofThe Witcher 3, which has enemy level-scaling as one of its features. After evading a diving attack from the Griffin, anome97 shot bolts at the monster’s head. Each shot was a critical hit that stunned the Griffin in place and rendered it unable to attack.The Witcherplayer shot 25 crossbow bolts throughout the fight, and a majority of them found their mark. The Griffin eventually succumbed to their wounds.

In the comments, anome97 posted a screenshot of the Mutations and the talents they used in the video. The crux of anome97’s build was the Cat Eye Mutation, which is one ofthe top Mutations inThe Witcher 3. The build also made use of Greater Red Mutagens to increase Geralt’s attack power by a combined 210%, and the Crippling Shot perk to stagger monsters and humans.
Additionally, anome97 said they used Grandmaster Feline armor, which adds more damage at the cost of defense. AsCD Projekt Red continues to work onThe Witcher 4, it remains to be seen how the upcoming entry will handle talents and builds.
