How to Fight Sylvans

How to Fight

You can only encounter combat with Sylvans twice in the game. One during the Side Quest: A Greedy God and another during the Main Quest: Bald Mountain.

The best way to deal with Sylvans is to add damage over time effects like the Devil's Puffball Bomb or burn them with the Igni Sign while trying to attack them from behind.

During the fight against Fugas, you can easily defeat him by throwing a Devil's Puffball Bomb and leaving Ciri to deal the rest of the damage needed.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Relict oil to deal bonus damage to them. Prepare
