Imlerith

Imlerith is the second member of the Wild Hunt crew that you will face. He may seem like the big and slow kind of boss, especially with that shield and mace, but he is far from slow. He will constantly teleport to try and flank you the entire fight. Dodge roll is your friend. Roll behind him and land a couple of quick blows before dodging out of his way again.

It is important to switch between Quen and Igni for this fight too. Use Quen to protect yourself from any blows that make contact. When Imlerith teleports, you will notice an icy shield surrounding his body. Quickly switch to Igni to melt that away, then switch right back to Quen. This is important for the entire fight. Yrden can slow him down a tad too, if you want to try and land a few more attacks.

Keep dodging and landing small blows until 2/3 of his health is gone. At this point, Imlerith will toss his shield aside and rapidly teleport and attack you. He teleports three times before attempting an overhead blow, causing his mace to get stuck in the ground. Take this opportunity to hit him once or twice before dodging. Keep up this pattern until roughly 5% of Imlerith’s health remains. At this point, the fight ends in a satisfying cutscene.
