How do I find alchemy ingredients?

[tontsa246]

I can't craft Swallow, because I don't have Rebis. I find it no where. The game does pretty bad job explaining where can I find it / buy it.

I've killed drowners and ghouls as well..

Yeah this game doesn't hold your hand that's for sure; I learned that early on. I'm at the end of chapter 2 and i've probably only crafted about 5-6 bottles of swallow. I think the ingrediants are hard to come across, but to make matters easier, just collect from every plant ect.. you see. I also bought some ingrediants from merchants.

Yeah, it's new for me :D I find it funny you can't collect herbs just like that like in Witcher 3, I have to buy books first etc.. I managed now to craft some swallow but the ingredients are hard to come by..

You can find (or buy) two monster books (in conjunction with the monster lore perk) that will let you loot all the monsters in the first chapter. The plants are similiar (if you have the patience, you can learn about them for free from villagers) but buying the field plants book is a good choice.

In the tutorial you are given the flay perk automatically so you can loot ingredients from monsters you know about. However you won't be able to collect plants even if you have the knowledge unless you have the herb lore perk from the intelligence tree as well.

As for swallow potions you need Green (death dust from barghasts) x2, Blue (beast fang from dogs) x1 and Purple (Drowner brains) x1. You will have lots of these ingredients if you wander around the village at night killing monsters.

If you don't have a 4 slot potion base you can turn a 3 slot base into a 5 slot by mixing Blue (beast fang) x2 and Green (death dust) x1 to make white gull.

Rebis is found in celadine, which is a super common item :)
And you'll need to buy a couple of in-game books to have access to all the plants and what not. Are you in Old Vizima now? :P

I see, I'm now having a good amount of swallow supplies. Just so it happens it always complains I don't have good enough base alcohol.. Always forget to buy purer alcohol.

Not sure about that, but I just started Chapter III.

Ah, that's New Vizima. Well, good luck on the path mate.

Hi, sorry, this topic is old, but I had a question, why the ":P" when asking about the old Vizima? Is there no Rebis ingredient in this map? I don't want to come back a chapter earlier for an error/bad idea from the developers...

bruhhh even I don't remember damn. long time ago.

You need Rebis Rubredo, to make normal potions. Three times Rubredo you need. Rubredo is quite rare.

I played with mods , and I had too many herbs so I haven't noticed such issue.

But even without potion the game is easy so you should be OK.
