PLEASE HELP, AM I THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS BUG ???

[DonMartiini]

Witchers forge quest, I'm level 67, the quest is level 60.
And this thing starts prowling around when I activate the forge.

Is it a bug or a feature?
This thing kills me with one hit. LITERALLY took 15 minutes to get 10% of his health down. Difficulty is Broken Bones. I have tried all the difficulty settings, nothing helps. I beat him a little, then he manages to score a hit, which for me is an instant death.

PS. The 1.10 patch that was used when capturing this screen is by far the buggiest i've seen.

He's tough - No ♥♥♥♥
Use Quen - Does not matter. One hit kills through all stacked buffs.
Yrden works somewhat. To no great extent.
My level is 70 right now. The quest level is 60.

This is a bug. I am looking for a fix or a workaround. Fighting this thing is stupid. Death is inevitable. My swords will degrade.

And I am also on the current patch. I simply said 1.10 because thats when this bug appeared.

Haven't gotten to this point yet in my current play through but yes, he's tough even on lower difficulties. You can use Aard to temporarily put out the flames.

use aard and elemental oil

Wonder what I'll find in NG+ but in normal game on BBB patch version 1.11 this fight was trivial. I was around lvl 33-34 I think with witchers gear, elemental oil, fast attack build with 100% dmg reduction for dodging. It was over in few minutes. He couldn't land single attack on me except bit of fire.

You can always repair in combat (at least in BBB) should you need to.

If all else fails you can try 20x strong attack route like with that Skellige griffin (assuming you can evade long enough to land that many attacks). There's potion that gives you guaranteed 5% health dmg for strong attack + tawny owl for quick stamina regen.

EDIT: or try mod that allows equipping all abilities not just 12 maybe even respec just for this fight

NG+ problem, apparently.

The NG+ in Wicher 3 is just basically "add 30 levels to everything, monsters, items, and that is it, hope it works".

The exact problem here is the "enemies X levels above the player get the skull icon and insane buffs against the player". It is not that you are too weak to fight it, it is that its level is too high for you. Go and get some more levels, assuming that is possible. Maybe it is.

As opposed to what? Figuratively taking 15 minutes?

I guess he means no rounding or New York 15 mins but rather actual 15 mins elapsed on some objective clock :)

Yeah this lvl business pure b.o.llocks. Only person here for whom leveling makes sense anyway'd be Ciri but we're instead leveling old fox Geralt. As if these couple months really mattered compared to what eight decades prior (isn't he 94 or so). Only gear "leveling" would make sense like obtaining unique gear with special powers but that's far less sexy. What I find especially hilarious's that you've lvl 5 wolves in Velen then lvl 22 wolves in Skellige and now lvl 35 wolves in Velen. Wtf aren't these same wolves walking forest or do thousands of village folk get killed by every single one now? But anyway it's just game and keeping it real'd be boring game play wise as well.
