Don't Play with the Gods Tips and Strategies

Fighting Wraiths and Noonwraiths

Fighting a Noonwraith

Regular Wraiths can be dealt with easily by using your Silver Sword. Wraiths are weak to Specter oil and Yrden.

Noonwraiths pose a bigger problem as they cannot be hit by regular attacks. Once again, using Specter oil and Yrden will render them vulnerable to attacks.

Is Don't Play with the Gods Worth It?

We do not recommend doing this quest. The loot is randomized and cannot be relied on.
