The Witcher 3: Bait a Forktail Guide

Walkthrough

1
Locate the Forktail's nest, typically found in mountainous or rocky areas.
2
Prepare for the fight by brewing relevant potions (e.g., Thunderbolt, Tawny Owl) and applying the correct oil (e.g., Dragon Oil) to your silver sword.
3
Use a monster lure or bait to draw the Forktail out of its nest or hiding spot.
4
Engage the Forktail, utilizing Geralt's combat abilities. Focus on dodging its aerial attacks and powerful bites.
5
Exploit openings after its attacks to land your own strikes with the silver sword.
6
Use Signs like Igni to deal damage and potentially cause burning, or Quen for defense.
7
If the Forktail takes flight, use your crossbow to try and bring it down or avoid its dive attacks.
8
Continue to dodge, attack, and use Signs until the Forktail is defeated.

Tips

Always ensure you have the correct sword equipped (Silver for monsters).
Keep an eye on your stamina to effectively use Signs and dodges.
Don't be afraid to use bombs if you have them, especially those that can cause damage or status effects.
Prioritize dodging over blocking, as many of the Forktail's attacks are unblockable or deal heavy damage.
If you are struggling, consider lowering the difficulty or returning when you are a higher level with better gear.
