Leshen

Leshens, also known as Leshy, are ancient, highly intelligent relicts that dwell exclusively in the deepest, most primordial forests of the Continent. Operating as the fierce, self-appointed spirit guardians of the woodland, they possess the magical ability to command local wolf packs and summon aggressive swarms of crows to tear trespassers apart. A Leshen can melt into the roots of trees to teleport short distances, and they grow massive wooden claws capable of impaling heavily armored knights with a single strike.

Combat strategy

Leshens move slowly but deal incredible physical damage and can summon roots from beneath the earth to impale Geralt. They are creatures of wood and dead bark, making them extremely vulnerable to fire; incinerate them using the Igni Sign or ignite them with Dancing Star bombs. Apply Relict Oil to your silver sword. Avoid fighting them when surrounded by their summoned wolves, and use Igni to disperse crow swarms.
