So, many player have experienced great difficulty to defeat this boss (including me) and I came up with a strategy that made me kill the Zeugl in one single try, even before the Swallow Potion effect runs out.

So it was:

First of all. The Zeugl deals much damage because of it's many fast tentacles, he can stun and poison Geralt, so you'll have to drink the appropriate potions to mitigate those problems. As many of you know, if you drink too much potions you get intoxicated... AND DIE. So I took the following steps in order to defeat the Zeugl with the maximum advantage:

Potions you'll need:

Swallow, Tawny Owl, Full Moon, Willow and Golden Oriole.

Potions you can add to the buff combo:

Wolf and Wolverine.

Step 1 - Long duration potions: Drink Tawny Owl, Willow and Gold Oriole.

Your toxicity has raised a lot, so you can meditate for 1 hour. That should be enough to cleanse the green bar.

Step 2 (optional): Drink wolf and Wolverine, meditate for 1 hour again.

Step 3: In Order: Enhance your blade with either a damage multiplier or a precision/critical hit modifier. Other effects won't work on the Zeugl. And lastly, drink the Swallow, because it's the potion that has the lowest span.

Step 4: Make sure your partner is with you INSIDE the area where the Zeugl appears, otherwise he may be stuck outside the tentacles that enclose you with the monster.

Step 5: There can only be 4 tentacles in the surface at once (at least this was as many as I could count), so, if you see less than 4 tentacles on the surface, start moving around to look for the missing one(s) and keep a safe distance.

Step 6: Use Group Silver on the tentacles. Try to attack along with your partner AND stay outside the "circle" the tentacles form when they emerge. Try aiming on the middle of the tentacles, so your swings will most likely reach all of the targets and you'll force the Zeugl to emerge after the fourth tentacle is down. Observe which tentacles you kill, because if you click to attack over the dead target, your combo will be interrupted.

Step 7: Blast the Zeugl as many times as you can with Igni sign and, when your endurance runs dry, start a combo with Strong Silver.

Notice the Zeugl will counterattack while you make the "orange swing" (the swing that indicates you finished a combo) or after any moment you give him. So, try to hack it while it's attacking your partner (you can do it from behind or from any of it's sides).

Keep doing it until he dies, which should take 3 or 4 rounds.

Big text for a big boss. Hope this was useful.
