In order to activate the effects of a Mutagen, Geralt can slot it into one of 4 Diamond-Shaped Slots on the Character Sheet.Įach of these slots is connected to 3 Ability Slots to which Geralt can assign his learned skills.

However, they can be quite rare and are very valuable until you have crafted all of your Decoctions so it is best to save dismantling any extras for later. These Mutagens have equivalent effects to the Lesser Regular version of their respective color and can be dismantled into such. Each color has a different appearance from those of Regular Mutagens. Special Mutagens are named after the Monster type they drop from such as the Alghoul Mutagen, which drops exclusively from Alghouls. With the Blood and Wine DLC, new crafting options become available, allowing you to transmute one color Mutagen for another color of the same tier using various Alchemy Ingredients. Only the Lesser version of each Mutagen color can be obtained as Monster drops, while the higher tiers can be crafted via Alchemy using 3 Mutagens of the tier below (i.e., 3x Lesser Red to craft a Red, 3x Red to craft a Greater Red). For example, the Lesser Red Mutagen provides 5% boost in Attack Power, while the Red Mutagen and Greater Red Mutagen provide 7% and 10% respectively. Note that these colors also correspond to the colors of Geralt's main Skill trees, Red being the Combat Skills, Green being Alchemy Skills and Blue being Signs. Each color of Regular Mutagen comes in three tiers: Lesser, Standard and Greater.Įach tier provides a greater effect than the last. Mutagens have different effects depending on their color, with Red ones providing a percentage bonus to Attack Power, Green providing a flat bonus to Vitality and Blue providing a percentage bonus to Sign Intensity.
