Jenny o' the woods question (not about difficulty)...

[Wobb the Great and Terrible!!!!!]

Is it possible to lift the curse?
I wonder this because I have done the quest twice now (and am now on my third, about to go back to her after finding the note and stuff) and each time I hear Geralt say "No way I can lift this curse, have to drive her away". Does that mean that perhaps I missed something and maybe if I found it I COULD lift the curse rather than fight her?
I don't really mind either way, she is a fun fight (I'm on NG+ death march and loving it now), but if there is a "peaceful" resolution I like to try and find it every time, but I can't find anything else to help with this quest other than what I have already.

Nope, no to lift the curse. You have to fight her.

[Wobb the Great and Terrible!!!!!]

Ok, that's all I wanted to know. Just making sure I wasn't missing something is all.

That's a shame, i actually thought you could lift it but i didn't care about lifting curses at the time.

lifting the curse would require burning her corpse but her corpse is long gone. So, you gotta fight her. No choice.

That's probably not the only way.

Yep, the only way to banish spectres is either burn their bones or defeat them with sword. You can consider both as curse lifting, most spectres cases dont require special actions.

Peaceful solution with who? With brainless abomination whos only instict is to kill everyone? Killing it is the peaceful solution since you deliver the peace to the village.

Don't picky, you know what I mean. The non-combat solution ffs

Why are gamers, PC gamers especially, so funny about picking apart words to start an argument? Especially when they know exactly what was meant by the original post anyway? Why do people do that?

Peaceful means truce the peace with someone, even in witcher there are intelligent creatures/monsters that are able to see a reason or can be convinced. How do you want to convince literally 0 brain creature that cant even communicate.

You deliver rest and peace to a spectre by killing it, isnt it obvious even from game knowledge.

The non-combat solution is to burn the corpse, but i still think if spectre is nearby he probably still engage, it isnt peacefull either tho.

And still you keep picking apart the exact wording of what I said when you really know exactly what I was saying. Funny how gamers do that all the time, right?
I often think it's because they crave the confrontation they are afraid of in real life, but feel safe to bring on in the safety of a forum. Humans do need this kind of confrontation to help their self-esteem after all.


I still would have liked a PEACEFUL resolution with the Jenny quest.
Like you kind of can with the tower full of mice, which is also a specter.
Also, Geralt does say it's a curse that brought about this specter, and lifting the curse would get rid of it, peacefully. As the specter would be at peace without having to battle Geralt.

But hey, nevermind

Calm down mate, the "peaceful" solution is to help the wraith in a non-harmful way.

It is similar to what you did in White Orchard with the herbalist's friend, Claire and you are lifting the curse , you are freeing her spirit of hate and anger from this plane of existence,so she can move on.

Yea I get it, it is just a bit weird that Geralt actually says "I can't lift this curse", implying there is something missing and if he had that missing thing then he might have a chance at lifting it without using his sword.

I understand what you were thinking, if she were alive it would be a different ball game,it's just how Geralt expressed his words ..................

"Brainless abomination whos only instict is to kill everyone"????

That is by far what they are.....They are vengeful Ghost who are stuck on the wrong plane because they were murdered or killed in a horrible way...It doesn't matter if they deserved it or not. All it sees is what happened to them while they were alive...that's why it kills...

I can't remember the quest name, but you get a quest from a man in Velen who ask's you to go put his wife's ghost to rest....She tries to convince you to bring him to her to see him one last time...If you do, she kills him...I can't remember exactly why, but it's something that she couldn't let go of....so you see? They aren't brainless monsters....they are ghost that are taken over by vengence...
