Changes: The Witcher 3 mutagens

Revision as of 08:10, 16 July 2018

The Witcher 3, Mutagens (lesser, "normal", greater)

Activate mutagens by placing them in the diamond-shaped slots on the Character panel. Next to each slot is a set of square Ability slots. Activated mutagens grant special bonuses to your character statistics. Different types (colors) of mutagens grant different kinds of bonuses.

Red mutagen > Attack Power (+5%, +7%, +10%)

Blue mutagen > Sign Intensity (+5%, +7%, +10%)

Green mutagen > Vitality (+50, +100, +150)

Up to four mutagens can be active at once (slots unlock at levels 4, 9, 16, 28). Each mutagen slot has three Ability slots: each Ability placed in a slot near a mutagen of the same color increases that mutagen's bonus by 100%.

Example: if Greater Blue Mutagen (+10% Sign Intensity) has 2 blue and 1 red ability: Gr. Blue Mut. (+10%) + 2x blue ability (2x +10%) + 1x red ability (no effect) = +30% Sign Intensity

So if all three Abilities in a set of slots match their nearby mutagen's color, the mutagen's bonus will be increased by 300%. The magnitude of this bonus can be further increased by the "Synergy" ability in the Alchemy tree. Abilities whose color does not match their nearby mutagen have no effect on the mutagen's bonus — they neither increase nor decrease it.

General (brown) abilities have no effect on any mutagen.

Upgrading mutagens

Mutagens looted from monsters are in most cases of Lesser quality. Using alchemy (recipes are given automatically upon starting new game) mutagens can be transformed into higher quality to improve their effect. Three lesser mutagens of same type can be transformed into "normal" mutagen. Three "normal" mutagens (of same type) can be transformed into a Greater mutagen.

Notes

With the Blood and Wine expansion, you can dismantle monster mutagens or transmute to 'different' type (eg. green to red) at the Alchemy Lab in the cellar of Corvo Bianco, yielding a lesser mutagen of the corresponding color. If a mutagen is an ingredient for a potion you have not yet obtained, the game will ask you to confirm before dismantling it (i.e. if you are not prompted you can safely dismantle it).
Originally, all alchemical ingredients, including mutagens, weighed 0.01 , but as of error they weigh nothing at all.
