Boss Fight – Letho of Gulet

Achievements & Choices
- Ricochet Achievement: Save at least 2 Talent Points in the Witcher Training Path to unlock this.
- Ability Achievements: Three separate achievements require unlocking a specific 8-point ability from each of the three Ability Trees. To simplify, hoard 8 Talent Points, then repeatedly reload a save to unlock each achievement individually.
- Letho's Fate: In the Epilogue, you face a choice: let Letho go or kill him. To unlock the final achievement for this playthrough, tell Letho it's time to finish this and give it his best shot, then kill him.
- Iorveth's Path Requirement: Hand Iorveth his sword during the ambush with Roche and Letho to stay on Iorveth's path.
- Monster Contracts: Fulfill all monster contracts requiring nest destruction on Easy/Normal/Hard difficulty on Iorveth's path. Fighting Endrega Queens on Insane in Act I is extremely difficult.
- Avoiding Fights: Consider avoiding unnecessary fights. Letting Letho go and reallocating stats instead of fighting the mage can help with the "From a Bygone Era" quest.
Gear Recommendations
- Steel Sword: The Forgotten Vran Sword is excellent. Find it in Dethmold's safe on Roche's path or in the tower where "The Secret of Loc Muinne" takes place on Iorveth's path.
- Armor: The Vran armor, obtained from finishing the "Mystic River" questline, makes fights significantly easier.
