The algorithm brought me here. Just wanna say, your gameplay is perfect. Its accurate to the lore whereas all the witchers from the griffin school heavily use magic. Cool video my guy!
Wtf do you mean? They are not mages, warlocks or sorcerers. They use signs more often, but their gameplan and fighting style is not limited to signs. Quite the contrary, in fact - they still Focus on swords mainly. Signs are not even considered to be a form of magic. Mages LAUGH at the meere mention of the concept of signs. (Source: triss in the books, just to name one) Focusing mainly on them would've been detrimental to a witcher's efficency in the general sense.
I literally just completed that fight around 10 minutes ago as a first time player. I Quen shield staggered him then chopped him, with the occassional fire stream. That was my strat. Great vid, looked great
I don't know how, but I've finished him by using only aard sign, and having master griffin armour. Very fast and very easy on "Death March" difficulty.
Honestly this is awesome. I just got grandmaster Griffin armor and I love it. I don’t know if you’ll want to do this, and it really doesn’t make that much of a difference, but I think it would be cool to see this on the Next-Gen update where you don’t have to go to the menu to use signs. Again, it’s not needed as this is already awesome enough, but it’s just a thought. Also, was it just me or was Imlerith a more difficult fight than Eredin? Like, I defeated Eredin without being hit too many times. With Imlerith I actually died once or twice. Just curious to see
Thanks! Yes, Imlerith did has a surprise second stage attack pattern that is too fast and faily different from first stage after he ditch the shield. Eredin didn't change much of his attack pattern nor Caranthir..
@@adammaysz4324 definitely an rpg game that plays better on keyboard and mouse. i hate slowing down gameplay to select combat options. Which is also why i added the auto apply oils mods ^^
idk man i just finished the game with all light attacks boosts and just shredded everything, on blood and bones, both dlcs as well, now first time ever playing, no doubt this works ofc, its the lack of swing ur sword that is irritating me, its, well ur missing easy hits to run away and do worse dmg lolol but a challange in itself so demands respect so well done brother!
Thanks, I don't know how to reply eloquently at first. But my sword damage from this build is worse that an Igni attack. Plus I don't want to dull my nice sword against the Wild Hunt armor, I wish G can wield a hammer instead to fight these armored plated elf.
I felt this as a fellow griffin set witcher. While the set trivializes most of the game's content. Bosses are definitely not one of them. I reached 80 before I quit my game so I branched out to euphoria back then. Now everything's easy lol.
I also use sign build,i defeated dettlaf with it without using sword Even tho I had enhanced vampire oil and enhanced vampire potion, It’s really powerful but most of witcher 3 gamers don’t know that. And recommendation: if you have like 16k coin,improve your home at maximum rate,if you sleep (even for 1 hour)it boost your vitality a lot like 1000 point and boost your horse stamina,and if I remember it correctly it also improves potion duration and slot All of that for one hour,it’s kinda lot
Sign build makes you overpowered and kills the joy of the game in my opinion.I decided that after roasting a whole castle by spamming igni in yrden circles.
@@bsmaster8493 with the new update, aard with frost hits like a cannon, and igni can do a ton of damage I could normally one hit mobs with an igni blast
Yeah I know, I find it much easier to using my thumb on spacebar than double press wasd, it was much easier to do it when I was younger tho. Need to relearn using the alt button for dodging.
@@LeonarldoLaurence Still good tactics, then, if you don't use potions. I completed my first walkthrough full magic (goddamn, Igni the best against enemies groups and most bosses), but Detlaff (I played on max difficulty) killed me too many times
Also my first ever play through an just beat him yesterday. Only average difficultly so might be different for others but yeah some Q shield for a lil extra D make my dodges and hits where it was possible till he was done. Think im using some white tiger relic armor or something? I assume nothing special but it is my first play through....
Yarden looks so pretty lol back in my third play I modded GM Griffin attributes to my white dyed viper armour everything looked so nice and pretty pretty 😂😂
@@swolbrohamlincoln9659 They are royalty and has access to good food and great care, body bulking is a luxury that he enjoys unlike most Elves in the continent.
yeah one of the reason i hardly like sign//magic build in witcher 3.. its alright but nothing special and kinda troublesome.. you even use mutation and kinda normal.. i usually just build alchemist+swirl (if i remember the name correctly, its been awhile since i play) swirl with 3 slot weapon with extended swirl rune its really waaay to OP combined with mutation of Euphoria Euphoria, increase dmg by sword or sign depend on lvl of toxicity, i think its nerfed, early blood wine game, i think i reach more than 100% dmg idk maybe even more than 200%, need build alchemist tho.. crit through more than 10k dmg (forgot exactly) if sign build, why not pick "Piercing Cold" its most OP sign build, literally one kill any enemy, even late game.. 25% chance freeze, and if its knocked, auto die by game default.. (not work with boss like this) but still can dealt thousands of dmg instead of 500 dmg fire hahah
Well this is 1.31 version.. skill tree is 5/5 skill points and piercing cold has no effect on Imlerith. Will make another recording when I managed to reach Imlerith. Doing a clean run and managed to clear Velen now in my spare time.
@@LeonarldoLaurence Ohh did imlerith immune to piercing cold dmg? I didnt know that, i thought it will still deal more than 2k dmg per cast aard.. Its most op magic built.. U dont have to restart from beginning to try, just load ur lastest save from imlerith and use potion to restart skill point.. Also Euphoria is great for magic built as well.. Just invest in alchemy a bit, i forgot what it was but it suppose to extend toxicity limit, Make. Euphoria more than 200%.. With that magic is waaay more efficient, like guarantee burn chance with igni, more dmg on aard, more hp shield on quen. Using magic crit isnt deal that much anyway..
With grandmaster Griffin set, this game become so easy for everything. The set is too OP in fact. I can cast the Igni sign almost none stop. It can easily stagger any opponent out there.
But not all creatures are vulnerable to burning.. and it is a high level play. The set is powerfull, but not too OP, compare to Euphoria Vampire Build.
Hate the fact that when he says the "You fought bravely in the ruined keep" line, the dialogue is muffled by the soundtrack and other audio. Same thing even in 9yo gameplay. Shame they never fixed that in the next gen version.
Yes, this is before the next gen update. Well I need the tab button to pause and calm my nerves from fighting Imlerith. I get nervous sometimes. Will try another fight with quick casting if its possible for me, but I have erase all my old saves because it somehow didn't work on Next Gen.
@@LeonarldoLaurence Oh it's completely understandable, play how you want, i just think quick casting is night and day difference, more fluid imo, but play how you want man!
Its just pure sign build, Signs from Igni, Quen, and Yrden. Yellow Skills are the Griffin School Techniques, Rage Management, Adrenalin Burst, & Focus. Its not really a good build imho, but it is fun and challenging enough for me. I use Magic Sensibilities for crits on sign attacks.
I have played all types of builds, fun is subjective to you, personally I like them all. I also love sign builds, this guy in the video is slow, look at how slow his Stam gen is, look at the buffs, or lacing of. The problem is not because of sign builds.
@@Blittsplitt5 fucking how would it be easier have you never experimented with metal expanding due to heat The helmet doesn't just get larger, the metal would expand and start to fuse to Imlerith's head.
@@Jenna_Taliait would expand in all directions, so it might or might not become harder to remove. That wasn't as important as the fact that seering hot metal tarted fusing with his flesh.

I'm SO happy they added quick sign casting to the game.
Imlerith: "Who taught you to fight like this?"
Neon Knight, he has some pretty good builds for the next gen update
The algorithm brought me here. Just wanna say, your gameplay is perfect. Its accurate to the lore whereas all the witchers from the griffin school heavily use magic. Cool video my guy!
Thanks I really like the Griffin set.. where as being perfect? Not so much.. I made several mistakes I think.
they use sword as well, they arent fucking sorcerers in the lore. Not accurate at all
Wtf do you mean? They are not mages, warlocks or sorcerers. They use signs more often, but their gameplan and fighting style is not limited to signs.

Witchers are mainly trained in swords, signs are secondary to assist them in fighting monsters.
No
With the new quick casting, this is definitely something to look into. Thanks for sharing
I just noticed that he smiles right before Geralt kills him.
little did Imlerith know that he was standing face to face withTHE *LEGENDARY* MAGE GERALT OF RIVIA
I literally just completed that fight around 10 minutes ago as a first time player. I Quen shield staggered him then chopped him, with the occassional fire stream. That was my strat. Great vid, looked great
Thanks!
I don't know how, but I've finished him by using only aard sign, and having master griffin armour.
Very fast and very easy on "Death March" difficulty.

Imlerith was kinda my favourite boss fight from the wild hunt … just such a good atmosphere

Ah, the famous Geralt from Aretuza
Aretuza was girls only school of magic.
Boys were trained in Ban Ard.
I hate the griffin armour only because it makes Geralt look like a fat sheriff 😭
Me too at first, but after a while the armor look grows on me.

You could probably make the shittiest build in Blood and Broken Bones and still be OP
I felt this as a fellow griffin set witcher. While the set trivializes most of the game's content. Bosses are definitely not one of them. I reached 80 before I quit my game so I branched out to euphoria back then. Now everything's easy lol.
Yeah that is why I pick only sign build, it makes the game too easy.

sign build is useless it takes too long to kill someone. If u do just damage u can kill them much faster and easier.
@@bsmaster8493 too long?
It's not short, neither long.
And easier? No no no, sign build is easier , true combat build is faster but not easier.
Sign build makes you overpowered and kills the joy of the game in my opinion.I decided that after roasting a whole castle by spamming igni in yrden circles.
If you able to mix Alchemy and Sign build you can increase the damage of your sign while high toxicity with the Euphoria Build.
@@bsmaster8493 with the new update, aard with frost hits like a cannon, and igni can do a ton of damage
I could normally one hit mobs with an igni blast
Use your directional buttons to change your signs
At this point just put all points on sword and parry atrack + aard time to time. Its the most cinematic and best way to play
It's either a weak build or you took way too long because of igni. Aard with piercing cold Mutation will finish him off within mins.
Wait does the bonuses on griffin gear make you cast spells really fast like that??? Cuz dammm that’s fast
Very cool vid 👍 just got the griffin set myself , basic armour , love it so far
"wha taught you to fight like this?"
"idk bro I just used a build that I found online that someone wrote"
Hm. Actually, why you used so many rolls but no dodges? Rolls kinda stop stamina recovery. When max difficulty + autoleveling its kinda critical.
Yeah I know, I find it much easier to using my thumb on spacebar than double press wasd, it was much easier to do it when I was younger tho. Need to relearn using the alt button for dodging.
@@LeonarldoLaurence Still good tactics, then, if you don't use potions. I completed my first walkthrough full magic (goddamn, Igni the best against enemies groups and most bosses), but Detlaff (I played on max difficulty) killed me too many times

nice,so what difficulty are you playing? I am playing deathmarch and griffin is impossible to use there :)) ,I am using bear armor
Death March; Griffin is impossible if you are using sword instead of signs. Signs are Griffin primary attack for me.
Does stamina only recover fast when using a sign build?
I run combat and it takes about 38 seconds for mine to refill
combat built uses adrenaline I think..
Plus gryffin school skill also boosts the stamina regen and there are potions to do that as well
@@TheNitoGamingwhat potions?
why not use any potions/decoctions? so many are good for sign builds
I am limiting myself, potion build make the game too easy and my G too tanky.
Yarden looks so pretty lol back in my third play I modded GM Griffin attributes to my white dyed viper armour everything looked so nice and pretty pretty 😂😂
aard is actually really good against him, it deals a lot of damage
May try it next time with AARD, YRDEN and AXII build
THANK YOU FOR THIS. I'll be running a spell sword build and aard will be my main
How did u get the grandmaster griffin set that early?
I did Blood and Wine first before the Point of No Return. Return back to main quest just as I had a GM.. Dettlaff is still alive at this point iirc.
Killed him with just 3 Grapeshoot bombs on death march with manticore grenadier build
How does imlirith teleport like that? He is no mage right?
Yes he does, he is product of avalach experiments.. or is it caranthir?
@@LeonarldoLaurence is that whybhe is so huge and muscular compare to other elves?

@@LeonarldoLaurence
Nope it's Caranthir.
Bro, the truly brocken set up is Yrden with piercing cold and unlimited stamina. You can legit kill him under a minute
why couldn't we bone any of the succubi?
He can in Witcher 2, but in Witcher 3 I think he become a decent man.
In the end, he looks like Adam Smasher
More like Adam Smashed.
yeah one of the reason i hardly like sign//magic build in witcher 3..
its alright but nothing special and kinda troublesome.. you even use mutation and kinda normal..
i usually just build alchemist+swirl (if i remember the name correctly, its been awhile since i play)
swirl with 3 slot weapon with extended swirl rune its really waaay to OP combined with mutation of Euphoria
Euphoria, increase dmg by sword or sign depend on lvl of toxicity, i think its nerfed, early blood wine game, i think i reach more than 100% dmg

I also love sign builds, this guy in the video is slow, look at how slow his Stam gen is, look at the buffs, or lacing of. The problem is not because of sign builds.
Sign Builds have weak sword damage, I think it is only around 200 - 300... Need to rely on sign as main attack.
What kinda eye bleeding gameplay is that bro?
Yden is still useless but alternate yden is Very useful
Do you find it weird that the signs are not hotkeyed in 2023? lol you have to use the wheel? cmon...
How is your Yrden so beautiful?
Grandmaster Griffin Set has your Yrden size increased 40%

No mods for succubuss just vanilla.

great gameplay, but it is a sin to play this game with mouse n keyboard

Wow... 6mins to kill him.. can be done in 4..
Yes with a different build and less mistakes.
it can be done in 2 if you just use sword and any mechanics at all :D
