Contract: Jenny o' the Woods Tips and Strategies

Questing Tips

Yrden Sign

Upon engaging the Nightwraith, cast your Yrden Sign and try to stay inside its area of effect. This will help you deal with the Nightwraith a lot easier because of its effect against specters.

Quest Reward

You will receive a decent amount of both Gold and XP as a reward for finishing this quest and you will be able to take the Nightwraith Trophy from its corpse.

Combat Strategies

Jenny o' the Woods (Nightwraith)

  • Coat your Silver Sword with Specter Oil before engaging the Nightwraith to deal bonus damage.
  • Use Moon Dust Bombs at the beginning of the fight.
  • Cast the Yrden Sign to make the Nightwraith more vulnerable to your silver sword attacks.
