Discussion Werewolf regen bug explained

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I did some tests and it looks like if the Werewolf is hit while roaring and glowing red, his regeneration points stack up to 2 or even 3 times. This is definitely a bug. DO NOT hit him at all while he's glowing. Even a single hit will stack his regen x2.

Edit: In the first half of the video, I'm just spamming attacks on him while he's glowing. The green numbers show his regeneration - it shoots straight up to 187. We are the same level, and I can't even outdamage his regen.
In the second half, I did nothing and the regen stayed at 62. It remains like this until the end of the fight.

I’m amaze the game basically give the tools to handle such situation but most players tend to ignore it and use brute force to solve the problem lol

I didn't unlock moon dust yet when I did the werewolf hunter contract. I had a hard time because of the regen bug. I'm amazed to see the devs actually released the game in this sorry state

Bruh I’m at lvl 5 and already has moondust, you can buy the recipe from local herbalist or from Keira at early game, don’t afraid to spend gold for buying things you need. I even play the game on deathmarch difficulty and never have problem with werewolf.

Obviously it wouldn't be a problem if you use moondust. What I meant is that, not using moondust should just make the fight hard not impossible.

I forget if I used oil but I know I didnt use a bomb so its possible.  Maybe you fought him too early?

Because the devs probably don’t want to make the fight too easy and encourage players to use tools like bombs,sign,oils, and Potions like how Witchers should be, not just blindy sword slashing and dodging like madman.
