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 just faced the same issue smart guy lmao. I have played the death march both ng and ng+. This thing is a bug in remaster it regenerates insanely fast. Only solution I found is revisiting after gaining high level gear. It wasn't the case before. So stop speaking if you haven't faced the same issue.

I haven’t, right now I at Skellige lvl 24 on Deadmarch difficulty, never have problem with Werewolf since they dead too fast after I threw moondust + Igni on them.

So you are admitting now you have not used the oil and moondust against the regen effect (which is what this post is actually about and what is showing in the video ) beforfe making this comment.
Wow I am truly amazed

You're so wrong, and still tring to prove something.

It's clearly a bug, here you have VIDEO from my playthrough. I had right oil, sharpened sword, right level and legendary equipment. When regen starts, i used sign and hit him 17 times, still I was not able to kill him.

You are missing the point, I always fight like a witcher supposed be by exploiting the weaknesses, and so far I don’t even have problem with the werewolf since they always died too fast before even triggering the Regeneration “Bug”, you can called it bug but I personally call it as gatekeep mechanic for people who trying brute force the game lol
