Drowned dead

From Witcher Wiki

Irredeemable criminals who end their lives in the waters of Lake Vizima become drowned dead, a very dangerous variety of drowner. Fate refused them a chance to amend their ways and return to society, so they remain villains after death, drowning absolutely innocent citizens.

[edit] Journal Bestiary Entry

"Particularly strong and dangerous drowners are known as the drowned dead. Simple people see no difference between the drowner and the drowned dead - encountering either of them is equally deadly. We might suppose, though, that the most gloomy legends concern the drowned dead rather than drowners."

[edit] Details

Occurrence: The drowned dead are creatures of the night; they appear on the banks of ponds, lakes and rivers Immunity: Immune to bleeding, blinding and poison attempts; they are fearless, immune to stun attempts and the Axii sign Susceptibility: Sensitive to silver and susceptible to knockdown attempts; the Fast Style is most efficient against the drowned dead; experienced witchers use the Group Style while fighting multiple drowned dead Tactics: These creatures poison their victims with cadaverine; they often attack as a group Alchemy: Cadaverine, Ginatz's Acid, drowned dead tongue

• In Act II, Shani will give Geralt this bestiary entry if he asks her for a monster anatomy lesson after delivering five Celandine during the Old Friend of Mine quest. Depending on the circumstances, Shani will either give this entry or a fleder entry, but these seem to be mutually exclusive.

[edit] Notes

• Their remains will not contain their tongues until you have this bestiary entry in your journal.
• An "Old townswoman" in Act I will tell Geralt a tale of Drowned Dead in exchange for food. However, the conversation gives a journal entry for Drowners, not Drowned Dead.
• In Act II, you can ask Shani for an anatomy lesson as a reward for giving her the five celandine she needs. This results in either: entries for fleders or drowned dead and their alchemies.
