Jenny o the Woods on Death March difficulty

[Isocyanide]

Anyone else having a hard time with this at or around the quest lvl. First contract that is actually near impossible for me. I doing a heavy sign build this playthrough which doesn't help as she is basically immune to fire dmg. Upgraded Yrden isn't doing jack...

When you are low on health disengage here and meditate an hour, her health will remain the same as before you meditated. Don't run to far from her just until you are safe. Or start doing other quests, upgrade your armor. use oils bombs and so on.

I just did this yesterday, Yrden is the most important sign for this I'm pretty sure. If you attack her normally you do a tiny amount of damage, when she's in yrden you do a lot more damage. I used thunderbolt and spectre paper simultaneously as well to increase damage. also when she splits in to three kill them as quickly as possible because those three drain your vitality and add it back onto her health bar

I had no trouble with this fight on Death March.

Yrden and quen as well as proper evading and rolling worked fine for me.

Took me two tries. Made a stupid misstep the first time.

That cheap tactic only works on the lower difficulties. On the two higher difficulties, meditation doesn't regen health.

You don't heal when you meditate on hard/very hard.

@OP Make sure she is in Yrden. Also make sure your gear matches your level, or close enough. Use spectre oil and bombs. When she spawns clones, use your crossbow to kill them from a distance to prevent HP leech.

I did it the first time at the same level of the contract. Had bad weapons . I leveled twice, got a new pair of weapons and rocked her wraith ass.

But yes I agree. She's one of the tougher contract.

Got her! Even with enhanced specter oil on i was only hitting her for 270 light attack. It was a long fight a lot of dancing and dropping Ydren and keeping quen up
