Guide to the game "The Witcher 2": how to use the mutagen?

Bleeding the character in any computer game goes linearly and without any deviations from the standard pattern. Only the names of skills change. However, each self-respecting project tries to add its own flavor to the ordinary list. Today we will talk about the game "The Witcher 2". How to use a mutagen, what is it and what is it for?

Mutagen and its preparation

What is it? Mutagen - this is a special substance, allocated by the creatures after death. It is designed to enhance the secondary character characteristics and allows to slightly increase the player's power.

Before using mutagens in "The Witcher 2", they must be obtained. There are two ways of obtaining this substance.

1. Murder of monsters. There is little chance of getting a mutagen for any dead monster. For someone the chance is higher, for someone - lower. Experienced players recommend stuffing the necessary reagents in the mission "In the clutches of insanity" on ghosts.
2. Another way is less convenient and profitable. If you learn the "Adverse Reaction" skill to the maximum level, then when you create potions with a 10% chance, get a mutagen. The effectiveness of this method is very doubtful, since the number of slots for a mutagen is limited, but you will spend points of skills for good.

Classification

The next thing you need to know about "Witcher 2" is mutagens and their properties. In total this substance has three stages of development - weak, ordinary and powerful. With each level, the number of bonus features increases. In total, there are 6 different types of mutagens and two special types that do not have gradation levels.

1. Orange (critical effects). Increases the chance of imposing special fortunes on the enemy in combat. According to the players, the most effective type, since by filling all cells with such "powerful" mutagens, you will get a bonus of 30% to all parameters. After that, every blow you make will have 1-2 additional effects.
2. Pink (health). Increases the number of lives by 2/5/10 points, depending on the quality of the mutagen.
3. Blue (power). Increases the character's armor by 1/2/2. In the "powerful" version, it adds health regeneration beyond combat.
4. Red (magic). Gives a bonus to damage dealt 1 / 1-2 / 1-3. As you can see, it is not very effective, because there is a small spread, the performance of the mutagen will depend on randomness.
5. Yellow (gain). Increases the adrenaline gain with each hit by 1/3/5 percent.
6. Purple (radius). Affects the signs used, extending their coverage by 2/5/10 percent.
7. Blue (concentration). Has only one stage of development, giving additional damage to your signs.
8. White (madness). Like the previous one, it only has one level. Gives 1-2 damage, 2 armor and 5 health.

Cells

The first and main condition that must be met before using mutagens in the game "The Witcher 2" is to learn the skill containing an empty slot for placing this substance.

In all there are 13 skills that can be improved with the help of mutagens. Some of them are useful, some not very, so you will have to decide for yourself whether you should spend skill points to get the next slot for the mutagen or not.

• In the "training" branch you will need "reflection of arrows" and "hardness of spirit".
• Among skills aimed at strengthening signs, you should get a "sense of magic," "control strength," and "improve the Irden."
• When pumping the skills of hand-to-hand combat, you should first of all be interested in "immortal", "fighting feeling" and "fight whirl".
• The latter one can study the alchemical component. You will need: "metathesis", "condensation", "berserk", "mutant" and "increase".

Having received these skills at least one level, you will open all the cells for placing the mutagen.

Application

Finally we got to the main question in the game "The Witcher 2": how to use the mutagen? In order to place the selected amplifier, go to the skills menu and proceed as follows:

1. Select a skill in which you place the mutagen in the cell.
2. Press Enter to start the mutation.
3. Select the desired improvement from the list that appears.
4. Press "space" and confirm with Enter.
5. All. After the manipulations, the description of the skill should have added a new one.

Now you know how to use mutagens in "The Witcher 2". All that is left is to indicate some points that are not obvious to the player, but can become critical in certain situations.

Notes

Despite the fact that a lot of people worked on the game, it was not possible to think through everything to the smallest detail. Therefore, the players themselves are trying to refine "The Witcher 2". How to use the mutagen, we have already figured out, but what happens to the skill that enhances their action?

The main problem is that the amplification of mutagens does not work on existing ones. That is, before you insert a mutagen into the slot, you better pumping skill. It is best to first learn the skill before the second stage, and only then start to place the mutagens in the cells.

Another feature of mutagens is that you can not extract them. The mutation occurs once and for all, so think several times before activating them.

This concludes the discussion of the question: in the game "Witcher 2" how to use the mutagen? We hope that our advice will be useful to you. Good game.
