If Geralt completes the quest ' Turn and Face the Strange', he unlocks a whole series of possible Mutations which further enhanced his abilities. These cannot be enhanced in any way and are only present during the quests where the player is playing as Ciri. So if all three Abilities in a set of slots match their nearby mutagen's color, the mutagen's bonus will be increased by 300%.Ībilities whose color does not match their nearby mutagen have no effect on the mutagen's bonus - they neither increase nor decrease it.Ĭiri also has her own special abilities: ' Charge' and ' Blink', both of which use ' Energy'. Different types (colors) of mutagens grant different kinds of bonuses.Įach Ability placed in a slot near a mutagen of the same color increases that mutagen's bonus by 100%.

You’ll need to research them first, and investing in them will unlock new ability slots. They are passive skills that can be unlocked separately from the old skills and abilities.

Next to each slot is a set of square Ability slots.Īctivated mutagens grant special bonuses to your character statistics. Mutations are part of a new skill system in The Witcher 3: Blood & Wine. This rule does not apply to the general Abilities, which do not have a special color,Īctivate mutagens by placing them in the diamond-shaped slots on the Character panel.

If all three active Abilities in a group belong to the same branch (are of the same color) you receive an additional bonus to Attack Power, Sign Intensity or Vitality. These branches are: Combat, Signs, Alchemy, General and Mutagen.Ībility slots are split into groups of three. Each Ability belongs to a certain branch marked by a special color.
