Regardless of distance though, he uses Quen (the magical shield) a lot. He'll always try to close the distance between you. If at long range, he'll use Grapeshots (grenades) and their poisionous variant in combination with his mid range attacks. If you're in mid range he'll use Igni (fireball) and Aard (to push you back off your feet). If you're in close, his sword attacks are pretty brutal and are difficult to block (but read on for usage of Aard). These patterns are roughly based on how close you are to him. Letho is tough but like most boss fights he has patterns of attack that you can exploit. Grapeshot bombs and traps can also be effective to get some extra damage in after your Yrden wears off.įirst off, I played through on medium difficulty. Throwing daggers (especially with 2 points in Dagger Throwing) come in handy for most fights in general, this one is no exception. Sometimes Letho will shrug off Yrden if he is unshielded by his Quen.
Letho will A) cast Quen, in which case you'll want to simply repeat the previous strategy, B) cast Aard, which does a moderate amount of damage or C) attempt to attack with his sword, which can be blocked with a follow up quick strike or two for a small bit of extra damage. Once Letho is free, you will probably want to back off. Quickly move in and go all out with heavy strikes (you should at least get in about 4-5 hits before your Yrden wears off). It will usually take 2 Yrden to break through Letho's Quen and after the second Yrden, Letho will be open to attack. Thankfully the Yrden sign works extremely well while keeping your distance, drop a Yrden in the center of the fighting area. He will frequently use his Quen sign to shield himself, and it is no use attacking him while it is up. First off, keep your distance from Letho and dodge his beefed up Igni and Aard signs as well as the various bombs he tosses at you. The fight with Letho in Chapter 1 is challenging any way you slice it, but there are a few tips I can give to at least beat him on Normal difficulty.
