The Witcher Hints
Battling the Frightener
1 of 7: This route is probably a bit harder, but has a greater reward. It will also cause a couple battles later in the game to be a little harder. To start it, say you will battle the Frightener with Vesemir.
2 of 7: To start, move out of the corner you start in as enemies can trap you in there.
3 of 7: You can pretty much ignore the bandits, though taking them out will make running around a bit easier.
4 of 7: To beat the Frightener, run up to both of the large cauldrons and cast the Aard sign, making them vibrate.
5 of 7: Then go and use the bell nearby. The Frightener will be stunned, allowing you and the other witchers to beat on it and kill it easily. If it starts attacking again before it dies, just repeat the process. It should go down pretty quickly.
6 of 7: Once it's dead, you'll be transported to the lab for a scene.
7 of 7: Afterwards, be sure to talk to Vesemir, as he will thank you for helping with the frightener, and give you a red meteorite. This will allow you to forge a 3 red meteorite sword in chapter one.
