How the F*** do you beat the toad prince?

[Mattee]

This boss is ridiculously hard, harder than anything else in this game by far. Any tips on how to make this fight a bit simpler on death march? Builds, poisons, etc.

EDIT:
I just beat it by speccing into igni melt armor and quen shield bubble. The melt armor igni actually does quite a lot of damage if you hit him with a quick burst and then a sword attack, then when he throws all the poison on the ground you can use bubble quen to walk into it and regen health rapidly. Using this tactic I beat him in about 2 minutes.

theres a simple glitch, if you get close enough he will stop moving and try to swip you with his hand and you can spam your fast attack. If you do it wrong he will start jumping, if you do it right he will just keep trying to turn in one direction. If you are under leveled or dont have the right oil you wont survive long enough to get close to him in the first place.

if you are struggling with the toad prince, then i pity your fight against the mage.

this is actually the hardest boss i've faced.. i think period. It's absolutely ridiculous that this was added in.

the hardest boss was the care taker for me. He drained so much of my health during the fight, even with cursed oil the fight lasted longer than any other.

9/10 of these advices are completly pointless. Speccing sign build ruins the entire game, might aswell give me a cheat code. Because sign builds oneshots anything in the entire game. Any boss can be defeated one handed with a sign build.

For anyone who is not cheating using a sign build, using Archgriffin decoction makes you able to deal somewhat damage on him. And before you whine at me for calling sign builders cheaters, you cannot deny the fact that a sign build destroys any difficulty in the game. First off you are invincible with Quen spamming and stamina being back up in 2seconds, then also stunlocking any human with igni cuz they just scream in pain and die. Do i need to say more?

I have yet to figure out a fighting pattern on him, because he does everything at random, i've tried different positioning but no position actives a specific attack. You can stand anywhere and he will use any attack, the only one he does not use is the swing with his tongue if u are far away, otherweise he can use the front lash if u are close or far away, shoot you at any range or position with venom and his aoe venom is also used at random.

so tldr: Use archgriffin decoction to deal damage and be lucky. Sign builders don't need a tactic, use ur spells - win.

Edit: So i finally beat him, after 20 tries and this is how i cheesed the ♥♥♥♥ out of this boss battle. I used Enhanced cursed oil for 25% damage, Archgriffing decoction for 5%hp per heavy hit and Yrd sign and Northrend wind bomb, do not use when he jumps otherwise he dodges it, the bomb gives u time for 2 heavy swings.. I dodged and occasionally rolled back and forth, when stamina full i used Yrd sign near him, run off to make him walk in to it, this will give you time to use 3 heavy swings, don't worry, he won't attack immediatly when it is off, he will instead jump away. So 3 heavy swings then roll. The hitbox and hitdetection is pretty F'd on this fight, i got hit tons of times when not being even remotely close to the straightforward tongue attack.

I feel you, death march NG+, this thing is by far the hardest boss of the game (till now)
Those quick jumps are annoying the crap out of me, I get killed in 3 hits and it looks like I'll need 50 or more to kill it
It also breaks the sh** out of my quen

i ♥♥♥♥♥♥ him up NG+ deathmarch first try

[v0]

I got him on first try with fast attack bleed+active quen and purple potion that regens stamina quickly (whatever it's name). Dodge-roll tongue lashes, roll away when it jumps up to bash or breathes slime or puffs out poison. Or use its poison to heal with active quen. You can keep dodge-rolling and heal with food too.

@ Frederick: r u saying your Geralt socalled witcher that never uses ANY signs?? Wonder what uncle Vesimir'd say :P ... I guess next step's no potions... then no oils... then no armor... and perhaps no weapon... and finally lvl 1 Geralt. Could be fun challenge for sure :)

For all those complaining about toad's difficulty, were you underleveled or playing on DM by any chance? I beat him on normal difficulty without too much trouble, and I'd consider myself an average player. The Ofieri mage and the duel with Olgierd were much harder.

[kenkuros]

Use Yrden sign.

[Exarch_Alpha]

Use the right bombs and potions. People always forget about the bombs, it´s silly. With flaming effect the toad is stunned and you can put some good hits in it as well as the damage from status.

I remember making this thread when I faced the frog prince. Golden oriole and northern wind. This fight is very unfair on people who chose a sword based build.

Just don't get greedy when attacking. 1 or 2 hits then back off. Northern wind will let you land a lot more blows. Get in close, throw bomb and combo attack that mofo. It was the hardest fight in the game for me.

EDIT: Yeah and don't listen to these people who said he was easy. Plebs be playing on easy or normal or probably played Dark souls.

When he's about to jump, you hit him (He makes a croaking sound before jumping) and immediately roll sideways. Repeat this process. Make sure to corner him if you can and don't get behind him too often otherwise hell jump away. No need to use signs or anything fancy.

If he's been on this boss for over a year, he may have other issues, and all tips in the world won't help him.

Well, I did it real easy though it takes some time (Death march NG+). Just quen yourself and circle around the outside of the lair. Shoot him with bolts which do 100% bleeding. As I said, it will take some time, but he'll just bleed himself to death in the middle of the lair. His mechanisms never change so it's pretty easy to avoid his ranged attacks, most of them miss simply if you keep moving.

Took me awhile to pass this guy, but I managed both times on scaled death march. (Second was a NG+ run.)

I just stayed close, maintained a tight cone without going behind him or getting licked to death. Seemed to keep his jumping to a minimum, and I suspect with some more practice I could probably keep him from jumping at all. Fight takes awhile so it's good to pause Netflix for it. ;)

Caretaker took me a couple of tries. I enjoyed that fight a lot.

The golden oriole potion will make your life easier. If you have the superior golden oriole it will be even better as the poison will heal you under the effect of this potion.

Tried this and I ended up dying from the impact damage when ever you get hit by the poison bombs he throws before I realized what was damaging me. :D

Get Shani to kiss the toad prince, problem solved.
