Enemies

Saesenthessis (Dragon)

Weak to Aard and Quen

The dragon form of Saskia; attack her head when she lands and avoid her sweeping fire breath across the tower ruins.

Letho of Gulet

Weak to Aard, Igni, and Yrden

The final boss; uses Quen constantly to reflect damage, so wait for his shield to expire before counter-attacking.

Gargoyle

Weak to Silver sword and QuenSteal / drop Gargoyle dust and gargoyle eyes

Found patrolling the ruins; they deal heavy leaping area damage and explode into stone shards shortly after dying.

Vran Guardian

Weak to Silver sword, Quen, and Yrden

A powerful mage construct fought in the underground laboratory who summons clones and casts devastating area spells.

Shops and people

Bras of Ban Ard: Located in the main market square of Loc Muinne; deciphers ancient manuscripts, crafts high-tier equipment, and sells Dark Mode diagrams.
Falas: An elven merchant located in the Loc Muinne central square area; sells crafting components, runes, and diagrams.

Tips

Quen is essential against the gargoyles to absorb the delayed blast damage they inflict upon death.
Siding to rescue Triss guarantees that the mages establish the Conclave peacefully, whereas rescuing Anais or Saskia alters political control of Temeria or the Pontar Valley respectively.
