The Witcher Hints
Special Monster: Archespore
1 of 4: This guy is really nasty, and you can never be quite sure where it is going to pop up.
2 of 4: You'll inevitably run into this while exploring the swamp, but only in areas to the north of the clay pits.
3 of 4: This is by far the toughest fight in the chapter -- it will deal 50+ damage per hit to you and rarely miss. The best strategy is probably to run in, use Igni (especially if you've upgraded it to have incineration), whack it a few times with the Strong Style, and run away. Then let yourself heal up and repeat the process. Thankfully the plant will not regenerate.
4 of 4: Once it's dead, bring its head back to Vincent for a reward.
