Pale Widow

Pale widows, known to scholars as gray scolopendromorphs, are a rare, ghostly white kind of giant centipede that lives in underground lairs in Toussaint. They were introduced in Blood and Wine and are among the tougher insectoids Geralt can meet in the duchy.

Combat strategy

Coat your blade in Insectoid oil and use Yrden to slow them down. Like other giant centipedes they burrow and strike from below, so keep moving and punish them when they surface.
