8.B Continue following the path until you reach a ladder. Climb it to get to the baron.

Bloody Baron Tips and Strategies

Use Axii or Counter for Shields

Axii Stun
Enemies with shields are difficult to hit. Use Axii to stun them giving you a chance to get hits in. Alternatively if you counter their attack it will also give you an opening to attack.

Cat Potion for Night Vision

Cat Potion
The cave is dark, so using the Cat Potion for night vision will be a huge help.

Cave Full of Loot

Underwater Chest
The cave has a few chests hidden inside. Use a Cat Potion and your Witcher Sense to make it easier to find these chests.
