The Witcher Hints
How can I win the fight with Javed?
1 of 5: Firstly, before the fight starts, depending on how you dealt with Berengar in Chapter 4, he will either appear if you let him lived, or Javed will be very weakened by Berengar's amulet if you killed him.
2 of 5: With that done, get ready to whoop on Javed. He's pretty tough, as he will frequently blind you and knock you down. Using a Willow potion to at least prevent the knockdown will be a big plus.
3 of 5: Either way, this isn't a hugely challenging fight. Use the Strong Style on Javed, and he will go down with a few completed combos (especially if you've gotten it to level 5). The fight can take a while due to his large amount of life, but if you used potions beforehand it should be simple.
4 of 5: Once he's dead, loot his body, and talk to the mirror to learn who the real villain is -- the leader of the Order. Leave the lab, and talk to your ally.
5 of 5: Follow them down to the boat to return to Vizima and end Chapter 5. Time for the big ending!
