The Witcher Hints

How should I deal with the cannibal?

  • 1 of 6: You'll learn there's a cannibal in the swamp when you enter the hut north of the brickmakers' village.
  • 2 of 6: You won't learn who it is until you get the resident back into the hut, though. To do so, you'll have to escort Gramps.
  • 3 of 6: Once he's in there, talk to Gramps about being a cannibal. You'll have to choose whether or not to kill him.
  • 4 of 6: You don't have to, but letting him live only gets you a couple pretty useless recipes, while killing him will get you a lot of XP.
  • 5 of 6: If you choose to kill him, he will run outside.
  • 6 of 6: Follow him, and you'll see Gramps along with a large bunch of Echinopsae. Try to lure Gramps back away from his allies to make the fight easier. The Echinopsae shouldn't be too tough afterwards.
