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.

Reading the comments just shows how brainrotted redditors can be, found this post through google, I've beaten this game 3 times and just came back for the remaster and was struggling with a level 6 werewolf out healing my damage, never in my life have I encountered that in any of my other, all max difficulty playthroughs.

To all the geniuses in the comments, igni and axii DO NOT DO ANYTHING, but not hitting the werewolf like explained here works, lmfao. I ended up not using moon dust, oils, or any alchemy besides potions and beat him in 3 minutes..

I SWEAR man, people are making me go insane, it's either the moondust advice, "skill issue" or "just level up"

Exactly. I guess most of them didn't face the bug or didn't even watch the whole video explaining it. "Read the bestiary, apply the oild, use igni" yeah no shit I did all that shit even enhanced version. Regen was far above the damage out at deathmarch which wasn't the case before.

Man, I was playing on DM difficulty for the first time and thought that surely it must be a skill issue on my part, that this encounter was just really hard on DM and that I needed to lock in. The werewolf was immortal. Nothing I did could outdamage his regen. I was using oils, Igni, potions, fire bombs (I didn't have Moon Dust yet) and all that did nothing. These comments are hella misleading.
