Abigail
From Witcher Wiki
Abigail is a witch who lives in the outskirts of Vizima. She is not well liked by the villagers of the Outskirts and gets blamed if anything bad or strange happens. Her main skill is Alchemy, and even though the villagers approach her with suspicion, they also rely on her for potions and poisons, which she provides, often without asking any questions or bothering with any moral objections.
In the course of Act I, Abigail takes in the orphaned Alvin after Geralt saves him from the barghests as Shani cannot care for him from an Inn. She also facilitates a trance where the boy reveals more about the beast and its minions who are plaguing the village.
Geralt can buy a blade coating from her that makes it easier to battle spectres and ghosts. In fact, she buys and sells quite a few things:
- the aforementioned Specter Oil
- some herbs
- some minerals, in particular Phosphorus, the only source of Vermilion in Act I
- some greases (bear fat)
- bomb making ingredients
- a few books
- an anti-drowner talisman (she'll buy these as well as the pouch of salt)
- Barghest skulls
- Wolf pelts
- Basilisk hides
- Fleder fangs
Abigail is secretly a member of the Cult of the Lionhead Spider: this is revealed when Geralt chooses to leave her fate to the villagers. She curses Geralt in the name of Coram Agh Ter. Whether this means she's also responsible for the misdeeds of the other villagers is unclear - possibly, she had something to do with influencing the merchant to kill his brother as she has a suspicious doll of his likeness in her hut.

[edit] Journal Entry
|
"A witch named Abigail lives in a village in the Outskirts. Though the villagers buy herbs and potions from her, she also faces much hostility." The Reverend informed the congregation that Abigail had uttered the Curse of the Hellhound and the witch was surrounded by an angry mob. I decided that she didn't deserve to die, and saved her from being lynched. Abigail left the Outskirts for good. |
