Lolz the "Predator" talent you get from it is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.

First of all it only works from 12-6 am so unless you constantly meditate till midnight you won't find much use for it anyway.

Also the boosts it gives are pretty much useless. 50% Attack doesn't help much, because for starters "Fast style" even at level 1 already has 100% attack. And "Attack" DOES NOT boost your damage if that's what you think. What it does is simply bypass your enemies ability to dodge your attacks. Which is exactly why "Fast style" is used on "nimble" enemies as they have high dodge capabilities. And once you are level 30+ you can reach permanent 70% Attack with your other talents and at that point only "Strong Style" would benefit from it, as "Fast style" has 100% as I mentioned while "Group style" has 40%. But even with 70% alone most enemies you previously couldn't hit with "Strong style" will now be possible kill with it. So in reality it only is useful if you are too lazy to change styles while in combat.

And then there is the 50% dodge which might be good, but at level 33+ you can increase all 4 attributes to level 5 at which point you can have both "Dodge" and "Parry" at 70% too, which renders Geralt practically invulnerable. Not to mention at that point higher "Dodge" is only useful if Geralt is surrounded, but for that you can get the "Vigilance" talent which gives Geralt 50% "Dodge" when attacked from behind.

So I don't see why would you want that talent so much, since it doesn't even work 24/7 and is pretty much useless at endgame. In fact f you spend some time farming exp in chapters 2-3 you can reach level 33+ long before even get to kill the Warewolf.

Truth be told all of these "Mutagen Talents" suck.

"Rising Moon" only works from 9pm - 12am, yup only 3 hours and it also won't work along the "Predator" since the letter effect starts when the previous ends.

"True Grit" only works when Geralt is below 25% health, which not only almost never happens once you have all 4 attributes at level 5, but also by logic most people avoid having their health drop to such a low level.

"Mutation" restores health when you consume ingredients and why would you do that? You get the required ingredient at the very end of chapter 3  and at that point you can make a truck load of "Rubedo Swallows"
