Acid extract is a crafting component introduced in the Blood and Wine expansion.
It can be obtained by dismantling:
It is also a guaranteed drop from giant centipedes and Pale Widows, and can be purchased from the following merchants:
- Armorer in Hauteville
- Blacksmith in Belgaard Manor, after he is rescued
- Lazare Lafargue in his workshop
- Trentin in his workshop in Hauteville
It is needed to craft the following items:
Tips[]
Acid extract is required to craft enriched dimeritium ore which is required to craft grandmaster witcher gear sets.
- The best source for acid extract are giant centipedes, as they drop not only the extract itself, but also giant centipede discharges and mandibles, which when dismantled by a master-level craftsman will yield two acid extract. All three are guaranteed drops, although amounts will vary. Thus, one centipede kill will yield 6-12 acid extract.
- You can always revisit the nest southeast of Fort Astre Ruins, which you visit as part of Big Game Hunter, to find giant centipedes.
- Respawning giant centipedes can also be found on the road east of Casteldaccia.
- Killing kikimores may drop kikimore discharges, which can be dismantled for three acid extract each. However, their drop rate is quite low.
Bugs[]
- Even with a fully patched game, some players may run into a bug where none of the monster parts can be dismantled for acid extract. If that's the case, then most likely archespore tendril can drop acid extract instead (other cases, it's supposed to drop venom extract).
