The Witcher
It ’s noDark Soulsin terms of difficulty , butThe Witcherseries has always portray wad of challenge to its players . These come in the physique of RPG choices– normally a problematic option betweenredhead or brunet , but from time to meter , they do introduce some menacing bosses . The third game is quite notorious for this sorting of difficulty spike .
Meanwhile , the first two games , due to having few boss , do n’t have as many of these walking and talking hurdle but they still have a couple of unmistakable fall guy who are really monsters . These bosses tend to storm the players with how unrelenting , exasperate , or just plainly unjust they can be especially when liken to the genuine unnerving - search hirer .
Azar Javed (The Witcher)
Azar Javed is one of the many antagonists of the firstWitchergame . At first glimpse , he does n’t look like he ’s more daunting than a white - haired albino who can cut off down ten men in ten seconds . He ’s just a bejewel sorcerer from Zerrikania , after all . Lo and behold , he ’s quite the magician when Geralt eventually receive a fortune to duel with him .
Azar Javed well assaults the players with chain knockbacks and stun attacks and for a sorcerer , he hits like a truck with his strong-arm harm . There ’s the fact that he ’s also a magic - user so he ’ll rip off and bring in his two minion afterthe fightstarts to go in the players ' favour . Never lowball a Zerrikanian .
The Operator (The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings)
The Witcher 2 : Assassins of Kingshas even fewer party boss than the first game but it does portray these beastly obstacles on a grander plate . That ’s why a hidden optional boss such as The Operator total quite as a surprisal since he has the worst demonstration for all the party boss in the second game .
He ’s mostly just a masked necromancer who talks like Darth Vader and speaks in cryptical or complex charming mumbo jumbo . Then the engagement finally begins and players presently substantiate that they ’re not just fighting The Operator but also the environment as it ’s full of invisible wall and barrier . The Operator himself is not so durable but the minions can easilybully Geraltinto the earth .
Nithral (The Witcher III: Wild Hunt)
Now , on toThe Witcher III : Wild Hunt . One of the first few Wild Hunt boss that the player will face is Nithral while they ’re raiding Avallac’h ’s hideaway . Geralt and Keira Metz bumble into them and a fighting ensues . It would n’t have been much of a problem because Geralt is with a sorceress , ripe ?
Well , turns out Nithral has his own thaumaturgy involve the White Frost and literally summons a miniature reading of that blow Revelation in the relatively tiny bowl . The result is that the fight tend to go on longer than it should since player are constantly drive into a defensive role .
Crones (The Witcher III: Wild Hunt)
The Crones do look horrid but they do n’t give off the impression that they ’re struggle - hardened beings . They ’re even afraid of the Wild Hunt and seeing as Geralt easily beat up Eredin and Imlerith , many players can well assume that the Crones would be pushovers .
Except the person who will be struggle them isCiri and not Geralt . This lends an added layer of battle to the fight because controlling Ciri is somewhat different than what player are used to with Geralt . On higher difficulty , especially in Death March , the Crones can even end up making the player become down the skidder .
Djinn (The Witcher III: Wild Hunt)
Speaking of magical beings that do n’t calculate that scary at all , the Djinn would be another animate being that lot of players tend to undervalue . There ’s only a few of them in the secret plan and one of them is a genus Bos that both Geralt and Yennefer must face together . It ’s not exactly a painful fight but one has to consider that it ’s a 2 - v-1 .
Geralt or Yennefer alone by themselves would n’t have been able to defeat the Djinn . Moreover , the salutary they could do was trap the Djinn and probably did n’t even have a solid plan or way of killing it . In hindsight , this one was a rather foolish plan by Yennefer considering their late Djinn encounter in the book closely kill them both .
Wicked Witch (Blood and Wine)
The elaboration ofThe Witcher 3have also brought in a server of hard hirer thoughBlood and Winehas the weak entryway among the two minimal brain dysfunction - ons . Dettlaff is certainly threatening at first coup d’oeil and so was the monster at the commencement . So that leaves a few other bosses like the Wicked Witch as behemoths in camouflage .
The Wicked Witch appears in the Fablesphere world and seem like a unimaginative Grimm pansy taradiddle villain . She certainly seem as though she ca n’t even hit Geralt but then the fight happens and the witcher stop up untangling himself from all the Archespores the Wicked Witch summons . Additionally , she also fly in a bubble for most of the conflict , she ’s decidedly not as helpless as fairy taradiddle enchantress .
Iris' Greatest Fear (Hearts of Stone)
heart of Stoneis the more ill-famed expansion forThe Witcher3since it not only has that one rune merchandiser that will make Geralt poor but also supply the phone number of the most difficult bosses in the biz . One of those is Iris ’s Greatest Fear who ’s basically just a zombified Olgierd .
Players run to enter that battle with low expectations since they ’ve already defeat Olgierd prior to that point but they ’ll mostly be unprepared for the bombardment of morbid attack this boss dish out out . Some attacks even powerfulness through Quen which is the only safety shock that players diminish back to when the passing bring baffling .
Ofieri Mage (Hearts of Stone)
Even at the very start of theHearts of Stonequestline , players are already being penalize for belittling seemingly harmless human enemies . character in point is that one Ofieri Mage that greets Geralt mighty after getting shipwrecked . He ’s accompanied by bodyguards which is uncanny since he has turn out himself immensely more knock-down than brand or muscularity .
Geralt just ca n’t stagger - lock this one to decease as plainly , this quondam mage can block a witcher ’s swing . Moreover , he has a twister onslaught that makes him fairly invulnerable . Dimeritium bombs are utilitarian for this fight but good luck remember Geralt has those as he ’s half - naked in this fighting .
The Caretaker (Hearts of Stone)
The Caretaker is frightening enough , but there ’s a chance that some players did n’t actually wait him to be a regenerating powerhouse . At best , he appears as a unforgiving bodyguard who will precipitate down after a few strikes and do n’t really seem like he ’s put up much of a fight with a shovel .
turn out that shovel was the Caretaker ’s way of thinking ahead as he ’s go to employ it to dig Geralt ’s grave . If the fight goes on too long then the Caretaker will simply readjust his health . He ’s fairly much a doorman to match if player have been paying attention to Geralt ’s DPS .
Toad Prince (Hearts of Stone)
Last but not least , the maddening Toad Prince . It ’s fundamentally just a giant toad stuck in the sewer . How severely can it be ? Geralt has face moreferocious monsterssuch as dragons , behemoth , and even the Wild Hunt . A miserable toad should be a problem for acentennial witcher .
So came the competitiveness and the player take in that even thebest witcherof them all is no match for some back warts and a prehensile tongue . The Toad Price just wreck any thespian who make love to get in close and personal . Its exploitable helplessness is fervency but Igni is n’t that democratic of an pick for many player . Hence , the Toad Prince ends up possess Geralt for a while until the players cave and lower the difficulty grade .
