Lubberkin

A lubberkin is what a botchling becomes when it is laid to rest properly. In The Witcher 3 this happens in Family Matters, the Bloody Baron questline in Velen. If Geralt lifts the curse with the ritual instead of killing the botchling, it turns into a lubberkin, a guardian spirit of the household.

Combat strategy

There is no fight: a lubberkin is the peaceful outcome of the botchling ritual.

  • Choose to lift the curse in Family Matters to get this outcome.
  • The botchling must be carried to the threshold of the Baron’s house and protected until dawn.
