The Witcher 2 - First Letho Boss Fight!

http://www.time4rpgs.net/lorvg/the-witcher-2-assassins-of-kings/
Here's I'm showing you guys what I did to beat Letho in Chapter 1 in The Witcher 2.
I did this fight on Normal (aka Medium)

First off if you remember before the fight, take the Tawny Ownl (Vigor Regen), A Sword Damage pot like Rook, and the Potion that gives you +30% resistance to bleeding, incineration etc.
You can also use a sword oil that does more damage against humans!!

1 of 2 things will happen when the fight starts.
1) Most likely he will hit you with Aard. If he does take the hit, and immediately cast Quen when you can, afterwards put your Aard up and wait for his Quen to disappear, then get on him.

2) If you have your Aard up in the beginning of the fight immediately cast it on him to stop his Quen cast or knock him back.

As soon as you get a chance to start attacking him, preferably after an Aard, you need to hold forward and do one heavy attack (if you are a bit away Geralt should move far closer to him to hit), followed by two Light attacks.

After your attacks you need to be on the lookout for these attacks in order of most used:
Aard
Sword Attack
Incineration

I can't stress how much you need to roll to avoid his attack after you do your third or second attack, because if he does cast Aard and blows you half way across the room. He most likely will cast Quen which makes this fight longer. Or you might get lucky like me and he throws a bomb at you.

Otherwise than that once again:
You Aard him, he staggers
You follow up with holding forward plus Heavy Attack
Light Attack
Light Attack
Roll Away
Rinse Repeat
Profit?!?! :D

Good luck

(p.s. You could probably get a perfect on this fight using this method, but I recorded this video so many times trying to just to make it look somewhat decent I gave up on that prospect lol)

what i wanna know is how you have about 7 minutes left on them potions takes me about 5 minutes to play the aracheas then a while to get through the conversations.

[Time4rpgs]

@axom20

I skipped the conversations since I saw them so many times. And I used the potions right at the spot where you climb up to get to the area.

Well i am playing on Normal as well, Geralt is lv 11 by me and i barely hit 2-3% of his HP when i manage to hit him at all. I finished every sidequest in town and all the monsters are gone so badly im afraid PETA will get on my back...

Is my lv maybe too low? What lv were u when u fought him?

[Time4rpgs]

@AninhaNinah

I honestly have no idea what level I was when I fought him I did however save right before I climbed up the cliff and did all the cutscene crap. After losing a bit I went back, reloaded that save and used some potions and rechecked my weapon.

Also did you use any of the tips I provided in the info box or what others have said in the comments?

[ShayLee0501]

This title is misleading. You DID NOT beat him! His health bar was still 2/3 full! I came and watched this just to see if there was a way I could beat him into some kind of submission because when I fought him on normal I had almost no health gone at all (just one hit from a bomb) and he was far lower in health than me. The journal entry STILL says Letho humilated me even though I got the same cut scene with the clash of Aards

[Time4rpgs]

@ShayLee0501

There is nothing misleading about this, it's apart of the game and I suggest you play it to see what else happens.... at this rate you will always be humilated :o

[kenmanius]

This game is fuckin garbage.

[Sheepheadz]

took on easy.. THEN WOW.. yrdened him 2 times.. and used only strong attacks when he was trapped.. cuz he had shield then... then after the second yrden.. i smacked the shit out of him... killed him with full health! LOL

[GIMPMan1972]

He's practically impossible on dark mode, constantly casts a shield, blocks while looking the other way, takes hardly any damage.

[maxell1221]

Just set snare traps everywhere and run around until he hits a bunch of snare traps and dies. The traps damage him even if he has Quen.

I tried to throw daggers at him, tried the strategy in this video, and a whole bunch of strategies so many times. Once I just decided to set traps and run around though, he went down so friggin easily! If only I did it first... >_<

[ibelieveinsumthin]

Easiest way to beat him is to lower difficulty to easy then just spam light attack he can't block it over in about 35 seconds

[mrdeshapiro]

@ghelyar I used yrden sign on him and once he was stuck I just smacked him over and over and then hit him again with yrden. This worked really well. The other method about using Aard and hitting and then dodging did not work for me at all. The use of bombs did nothing.
