Crafting Decoctions
Decoctions are special and potent potions made from Alchemy that use a monster's inherit mutagens to give Geralt some of their powers, if only for a time. These decoctions are often hard to brew, and require you to kill the monster you wish to borrow powers from. Their effects vary wildly, and are usually incredibly toxic.
Decoctions require Mutagens taken from killed enemies -- and some Mutagens are exceedingly rare. Make sure to check Mutagen Locations to ensure you don't miss any.
Below are some sample Decoction recipes. For the full list and the locations of the recipes, check the Potions Section.
