Fisstech or White Death is a drug similar in appearance and effect to amphetamine or cocaine. It is a powder which is typically snorted or rubbed on the gums, but as with opiates and other narcotics in our society, it can also be used in medicine as an anesthetic.
The Rats used fisstech. Leo Bonhart also drugged Ciri with it when he forced her to fight in the arena of Claremont. A more powerful version of the fisstech was also used by the Aen Elle and Auberon Muircetach.
The Witcher[]
"Fisstech is a popular narcotic among affluent youth and members of Temeria's underworld. Powerful crime organizations jealously guard the secrets of its production. Although the laws of the kingdom forbid the drug's sale, fisstech is a source of huge profits for the bosses of the criminal underworld."
The Salamandra control the production and the trading of this drug in Vizima. It is usually consumed through the nose which leads to cold like symptoms, mostly sneezing. Another way of consuming the drug revealed in the game is to rub it under the foreskin: Geralt describes this to Jethro as the most effective way: "...where you can fold back your skin, Jethro."

Glossary entry[]
- Fisstech
- Fisstech is an illegal narcotic that is used widely in Temeria. It takes the form of a white powder and is highly addictive. It can be manufactured only by professionals with the use of complicated alchemical equipment.
Notes[]
- Further information about this drug can be gleaned during the Anatomy of a Crime quest.
- The Vodyanoi accept it as a tribute.
- If you "experiment" and create fisstech without first having the recipe, it is one potion that does not require consumption to add the Journal entry.
- You can produce fisstech with a dominant ingredient (such as Rubedo), for which at least the Order armorer will pay 40 Orens instead of 20.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt[]
Fisstech can be found as random loot and is sold by the following merchants:
- Innkeep at the Cunny of the Goose
- Innkeep (Olivier's replacement) in The Kingfisher Inn
- Merchant at Gildorf district shop
During the Blood and Wine expansion main quest, Beyond Hill and Dale..., the Little Flint Girl sells a different version of the item, with entirely identical properties, but it disappears after Geralt leaves the Land of a Thousand Fables.
Notes[]
- While mostly used as a recreational drug, it's known to have a beneficial use as an anesthetic for medical purposes.
- In The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, during the quest The Scent of Incense, Geralt is asked by a shady alchemist, Vencel Pugg, to get the formula for some "special incense" being manufactured in Flotsam by Vilmos Bartok. Later it transpires that the formula is actually for fisstech.
- In the Hearts of Stone expansion it's shown to be manufactured like a real world meth lab.
- In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Eskel admits he tried fisstech while bedding a succubus.
- In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, if one pays for the services of a prostitute, it may show a random cutscene where she takes out a vial and snorts the substance, with the substance likely being fisstech.
