Read if you finished Blood and Wine. Mutagenator.

[sblantipodi]

Please read only if you finished Blood and Wine DLC, this contains spoilers.

At the end of B&W Regis give Gerald a mutagenator.
What is it and how to use it?

When I try to use it from my inventory it says that I don't have the charge to use it.
Can you help me please?

Thanks.

[katzenkrimis]

It charges when you fight.

In combat.

can yuo explain me better what is NG+ please?
is a new game that starts from the beginning while maintaining my equipments, armours and swords?
if yes, does NG+ work even on DLC like HoS and B&W?

New Game Plus
It means you restart the game from scratch with your current level and all the stuff you have but the Enemies are harder

[RosePhuralia]

Here's a full explanation to your question. The Mutagenerator generates greater coloured mutagens, what colour you get is random but is chosen from either red green or blue. Every 100 enemies you kill, human or monster regardless, gives you 1 charge, so every 100 enemies you kill, the Mutagenerator will generate one greater mutagen. There are also diagrams around dlc area of Toussaint that allow you to change mutagen colours, for example, you can change a greater blue mutagen into a greater red mutagen.

How can you check the progress of the mutagenator and does it transfer to NG+?

To check just hover over the item itself. It being transfer to NG+ i dont know, it damn better be jeez otherwise its kinda useless imho.

NG+ works only once mind you. If you finished the game for example and played NG+ then did the expansions - after that you cannot do a NG++..so to speak. So the answer to your question is yes, it works on HoS and BaW. Equips carry over too and to be sure the stuff in your chest.

[DegenWins]

Thanks for the quick reply lol.
I thought the progress would be on the item itself but I cannot for the life of me find it!
What inventory section is it in?

[DegenWins]

Ohhh, I found it.
For anyone else having trouble finding it in the huge inventory it is in the "Quest items" section and it looks like a bright silver colored book.

It odesn't carry over into NG+, because it is a quest item. All quest items get wiped when you do NG+. It is entirely useless, unless you finish Blood & Wine first, which you shouldn't because apparently main campaign choices carry over into B&W.

Mutagenator is useless.

uh i just started a NG+ and i have the Mutagenerator in inventory so...maybe they patched it? or it bugged on you? or it bugged on me?

[Furiey]

It's never carried over for me in several NG+ starts.

Originally posted by BuzzardBee:

Don't know if it's bugged but it shouldn't carry over as stated since it was a quest item. Unless, of course, the devs just didn't take that into account when they were rushing Blood and Wine out for an earlier than projected release, which could be the case. No other quest items carry over because you are essentially playing the entire game over, including each and every quest again.

So i double checked and it indeed bug out on me: it is in inventory, it accumulates charges and gives the "effect" while in fighting, but it does not allow me to harvest the charges and generate greater mutagens. I never realized because I still hadn't reached 100 kills in the NG+. I wonder if once i "unlock" it at the end of "Be it ever so humble" it will have kept all the charges
That would be funny, finding myself with something like 10000 charges...except for it being completely useless since a completed NG+ is conclusive

[Mr Burb]

Indeed it doesn't carry to NG+. Well, it would be way too OP if it did! Its purpose is to gather a few more greater mutagens, if you don't have lots, before going NG+ (the mutagens themselves will stay inn your inventory), because the mutations you will want to unlock in your next game will consume LOTS of greater mutagens (probably 10-15 each color if you manage to unlock everything). They are long to harvest from quest / random enemies! So you finish the game, get the mutagen generator, and then go back to enjoy the landscape and kill every enemy you meet, get a few more mutagens for your next playthrough. If I was to do it again, I would finish the main quest before and keep a bunch secondary quests / contracts to do them with the generator, to avoid going back only for grinding after the endgame!
