Ignis Fatuus
Ignis Fatuus is an ancient foglet lurking in a cave in the peat bogs of Velen. The bestiary guesses it could be more than two hundred years old. Its blows are strong enough that blocking them is pointless, it moves with frightening speed, and it can melt into the mist and appear somewhere else without warning. Like all foglets, it uses illusions to lure victims, and this one is especially good at them.
Foglets hide in fog and can’t leave it. They pick off people who get lost in the mist, and this old one can also call up lesser copies of itself to distract you.
You hunt it in Contract: Swamp Thing in Crookback Bog. The contract comes from the peat digger Leslav, or from the Downwarren notice board once you have the Eye of Nehaleni. Geralt uses the Eye to see through illusory rocks and find a hidden cave. An ordinary foglet waits in the first chamber, and Ignis Fatuus is deeper inside. It drops a foglet trophy and the silver sword Carabella. If you haggled and agree to wait a week for your pay, Leslav pays double.
Combat strategy
Don’t try to block this one. Dodge its hits and counter. It keeps vanishing into the fog and summoning weak foglet copies, which die in a single hit but pull your attention away. It can’t follow you out of the fog, so if you’re running low on health, step outside and heal up. Moon dust is a must here, because it stops the creature from healing.
- Coat your silver sword with necrophage oil.
- Throw Moon Dust to stop its regeneration.
- Keep Quen up, since its hits are heavy.
- Cast Yrden. Copies that spawn inside the circle vanish instantly.
- Axii can stun it briefly for a few free hits.
