All monsters on Witcher 3

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a massive endeavor for players to take on, and like the previous games in the series, there are several monsters to hunt and slay. As you travel through the war-ravaged land of the Northern Realm, you’re bound to come across a Griffin, Foglet, or Drowner. This guide will teach you everything you need to know to take on these foul beasts, making sure Geralt lives to fight another day.

Witchers don’t work for free. Perhaps one of the most heard things throughout the series, it’s also one of the truest. If you want to be successful at being a witcher, then it’s important to know what you’re going up against, what its weaknesses are, and how you should approach it. Sometimes this will include crafting new potions, tracking down Alchemy materials, or simply knowing which Sign to cast.

Note:It should also be noted that this guide is a work-in-progress, and we'll be updating it regularly. We wanted to start off with monsters and creatures that you might find in your early travels, adding in the adversaries that you'll bump into later on as we spend more time with the game ourselves.

Dogs

These creatures tend to rush at their prey in packs, and usually go for victims that are elderly, drunken, or alone. Although fast in speed, they are generally dumb, and tend to attack in one-sided spurts. This makes use of the Aard Sign great for pushing them back, and for allowing Geralt time to recover. Do not underestimate these early game beasts, however. They may not be as strong as some of the other foes, they are exceptionally quick, and can deal damage with fast, decisive bites.
