- How to Get the Two Rarest Decoctions ✅ Complete Quest Walkthroughs ✅
In this video, ill be showing you how to get the two rarest decoctions in the Witcher 3, out of the 28 that are available. What makes them the rarest is that there’s only a single chance in the entire game to get their associated Monster Mutagens, before they’re gone for good.
You’d have to re-load a previous save before the associated Contracts, or try again in a new game or NG+ for another chance. In addition, if you spare the related monsters instead of killing them, which most players end up doing out of sympathy, then the chance will be lost.
Ill be covering everything you need to know about how to acquire these two rare Decoctions as well as walk you through their associated side-quest Contracts from start to finish.

I didnt even do this quest but i have the succubus decoction....hm
Yes it was brought to my attention there was actually a second quest for the Succubus mutagen called Practicum in Advanced Alchemy. The same ruiles apply, if you spare the Succubus you wont get the Decoction. For this reason the Doppler is the rarest, and the Succubus is the 2nd rarest. 👍
@@GamerGrade ahhh ok I did that quest so that makes sense, thank you. I use the succubus decoction for pretty much every fight so it’s definitely a good one to have
Yeah i do too, great Decoction, up to +30% attack power is huge. You obviously didnt fall for that Succubus charm lol 🍻
Jay awesome to see your content again it’s been a minute. Hope you and your family are doing well and got through this whole pandemic thing unscathed. As usual your stuff is by far the most comprehensive and useful bits of information out here. It’s good to hear your voice again and see what it looks like when someone truly loves what they do. As always nice work sir.
Awesome to hear from you again Trin :) We are all keeping well here thanks brother, i hope the same is true for you and family your end? Definitely been a very strange year.
As always your continued support and encouraging feedback is massively appreciated, it goes a long way my friend and makes what i do, all the more worthwhile 🍻
What game(s) are you playing at the moment? Are you planning on playing the Witcher 3 again when the next-gen update drops?
Damn it !! I spared both of these critters. NewGame+ number 3 here we go ...
Lol glad i gave you the perfect excuse !! 👌
you aren't the only nice Geralt to do so...
I killed the doppler in the first one...so already got a doppler decoction...but i spared the succubus in the first one as well as new game+...damn it
For some reason I didnt even do the Succubus Contract, and i let the Doppler go, didnt have the heart to kill him! Shame they dont give you alternative methods to find the mutagens. As always, really enjoy watching your Witcher 3 content, keep 'em coming Jay 😍
Yeah most players miss them on their first run, including myself! There should be another way to get them, although i suppose its the perefct excuse to play again. Much appreciate your continued support Trey 🙏
Yeah that was a bs kill
There's anther success in skellgie during the germist missions
Just yesterday I realized I don't have this 2, I will need another playthrough, that means a pain in the ass 😂😂😂 amazing job, I love you videos : )
Loool 😂
Thanks Carol, really appreciate your feedback and support :) 🙏
Your guides are so well done! Would love to see a beginners / noob guide from you on the Witcher 3, so many things confuse me in this game lol. You always make complex systems easy to understand 😜
Thank you for the positive feedback Jen! 🙏
I have some good news, ive just started working on a beginners guide which will be my next video. However it probably wont be released for a few weeks, but will definitely be worth the wait, watch this space :)
@@GamerGrade Oh that is great news thank you. As always notifications swicthed on and enabled :)
Another grate ViDeO BrO 😎 Thanks.
You're most welcome! Really appreciate your feedback and support :) 🙏
Awesome bro!! 🤍🤘
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching 👊
there are two succubuses in this game, actually. the other one is in Skellige.
Yes it was brought to my attention there was actually a second quest for the Succubus mutagen called Practicum in Advanced Alchemy. The same ruiles apply, if you spare the Succubus you wont get the Decoction. For this reason the Doppler is the rarest, and the Succubus is the 2nd rarest. 👍
Hey man I have an idea for you / a requested video, although it would take some expert knowledge to produce. Some kind of quest / world guide, featuring an explanation of the various triggers that change the state of the world and the points of no return in the main story quest. For example, the way Novigrad changes its ambient dialogue / NPC environment as the crackdown on magic escalates. I'm not sure if there are more world state changes in Velen / Novigrad, but mayber there'd be enough to warrant a look at Kaer Trolde throughout its Jarl crowning / post crowning events.
P.S. Maybe for another video could be a breakdown of all of Geralt's personal friends and their own quest chains, what triggers them to fail if you progress past a point. I find that the personal quests are much more elaborate and entertaining even though they are situated in the same category as your basic track 'n' smack 10 minute sidequest.
The one type of W3 guide video that is lacking is the ones based around quests and world states and orders to do things if you want to see as much as possible in one playthrough. You make the highest quality guides on W3 in the RUclips scene so if anyone could do it well it would be you!
There's definitely some great ideas here so thank you for sharing! 🙏
Ive taken note of your suggestions and added them to my lists.
I have a couple of other videos to finish in the pipeline but will be very interested in creating content based around the relationship between certain quests, characters and world events for sure.
Im always struggling for content ideas so i really appreciate your input.
Thanks for taking the time to get in touch :) 🍻
There's another Doppler when you take the contract where when you try to haggle the price, they accept the maximum. You get ambushed..
those masks that medics wore back then were a real item..some masks were packed with oils and herbs that served several tasks..belief that i warded off of pathogens, and belayed the horrendous smell of decaying bodies...cool fact..this game is filled with many an item like this that just shows hoe detailed the producers of this stellar game are and were..one of the best imho..
Thats so interesting thank you for sharing this info, i didnt know that! It really is astounding the amount of detail the devs put into this timeless masterpiece, everywhere you look you can see it was made with real passion making exploration so immersive. I truly hope they transfer the same level of commitment to the Witcher 4! 💯
thank you once again.
You're very welcome Harry, thanks for watching!
Really appreciate your continued support :) 🙏
Awesome video
Thanks, really appreciate the feedback :) 🙏
My Favorite : Superior Petri’s Philter
Add Superior Thunderbolt 💥 💥💥
How do I get the formula for the succubus decoctions
I’ve got all the potions, all the oils and all of the decoctions except for the succubus and the arachas one, when I do ng+ I’m going to kill the succubus in novigrad and let the one in skellige live
Thats a sound plan 👍
Love it❤
Thanks Kuin! Really appreciate the support my friend :) 🙏
Geralt is a monster hunter, not a social worker. Gut those monsters!
Lol this is very true! 👊
I can’t see the deadly delights quest. It’s not on completed, fail quests, or in the available quests or the exclamation point on the map. I don’t know what to do. I need to kill this succubus. I already fucked up with the Skellige one
Best videos around. Great job Jay! I skipped both on purpose. Couldn’t bring myself to murder the Doppler and, hey, I’m a sucker for women with horns!
Thanks for the feedback Trey! Appreciate the support 🙏
We all did the same thing 1st time round lol 🍻
Actually u get 2 chances for Succubus. I just couldn't kill them. Mutegen gone for good.
Yes you are right, the 2nd Succubus i completely forgot about, which is found during the quest 'Practicum in Advanced Alchemy' for Gremist in Skellige. This means the Doppler is the rarest, Succubus is the 2nd rarest, and Ancient Leshen is 3rd rarest. 👍
We got 2 chances each succubus & Doppler, if I'm not mistaken.. 2nd succubus appear from master alchemist quest in skellige,, 2nd Doppler from the skellige's most wanted quest along with the warewolf and troll.. please correct me if I'm wrong
Yes there's two chances for the Succubus as you mentioned. Im not sure about the Doppler though, maybe someone can clarify? 🤔
the doppler one only one way to it which is the contract
I dont know if I should be proud or not but I did kill both of them for the mutagen
Well you got both mutagens so you should be proud 😉
I'd rather spare any kind of monsters/non-humans that I don't HAVE to kill. But this was a nice video nevertheless, thanks!
We all missed them the first time for this very reason lol. Thanks for watching :) 🙏
The Ekimara decoction, and the superior cursed oil, still elude me. I think I'm out of Ekimaras to get their mutagen and hide.
Many consider the Ekimmara decoction the most useful available, along with Ekihdna and Troll, and I think it was one of the first decoctions I was able to craft. Definitely worth trying to get.
@@theoldhenk7531 Yeah it's one of my priorities for NG+
Hey Jay, Deathmarch guide as a video idea?
Great idea as usual Ben... and its something i have definitely thought about, in the past, but sadly never found the time to start. However, Marwan Gaming beat me to it and did a fantastic walkthrough on Deathmarch here: ruclips.net/video/OAbAmDso4SA/видео.html
@@GamerGrade Allrighty :) I used Marwan's build video
for my Deathmarch run, that and your alchemy guide made it easy as pie. :p
Cool! Alchemy is the solution 👍
Isn't there 2 chances for the succubus mutagen? There's a quest I think it's called practicum in advance alchemy, where one of the objectives you have to find someone who has ended up near a succubus den.
Thanks for your comment, yes i know the quest you mean, the Succubus in the mountains. Ill give this a test...
Yes you are right, she does drop a mutagen, completely forgot about that Succubus!
So this means the Doppler is the most rare, the Succubus is the second most rare, and the Ancient Leshen is the third most rare.
@@GamerGrade You mean there are 3 chances to get an ancient leshen mutagen? As I recall there are only 2 chances: the witcher contract in Skellige where you have to choose either to kill the ancient leshen or to spare it, and another high level ancient leshen in the Hearts of Stone expansion. Did I miss anything?
No i mean the Doppler and Succubus mutagens are only available in specific Contracts where the monsters are not really 'bad' and therefore most players will spare them and likely miss the mutagens for good. The Ancient Leshen you cant 'spare' when you encounter it, so it needs to be killed at some point. For this reason, its the 3rd most rare, rather then there being 3 Ancient Leshens :) 👍
Oh and yes you are right in that there are only two Ancient Leshens.
How do I unlock ghost survivors on this re2 remake i haven't been told
To access the Ghost Survivors, you simply click on Extra Modes from the main menu.
When you first start the game it won't be available until you begin the main story and trigger the first auto save checkpoint. Now you can quit to the main menu to access Extras Modes.
I mean, it's not even like those decoctions are the coolest or most useful, but as a completionist it bugs you not having them hahah I am missing the troll decoction bc trolls are too cute to kill and bad trolls haven't dropped a single mutagen u,u
The Succubus decoction is worth grabbing, very useful for those tougher fights. But yeah i know what you mean about being a completionist in some games, and The Witcher 3 is definitely one of those games. 👍
I actually felt upset after killing the succubus at 2am, this game doesn't skimp on moral ambiguous choices
Yeah its a shame as the Succubus definitely do not feel like monsters, especially to the male species! 💯
are you using a mod to make geralt look like it does in your video or what? bc my geralt looks goofy
Yes its a mod called The Mutant which you can download here (PC only) - www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/3102
Can any1 tell me a decoction or any way which helps stamina regeneration while in combat?
Yes there’s 3 major ways.
Install any medium weight armor pieces all round (preferably Griffin School gear for the additional Sign Intensity bonus) and use the Griffin School Techniques general skill. This will increase Stamina regen by 25% passively.
The Superior Tawny Owl Potion will increase Stamina regen by 10% during combat, the Superior version specifically will never run out between 6pm and 6am (game time), allowing you to consistently spam signs between those hours.
The Ancient Leshen Decoction would be the best Decoction for Stamina regen, increasing Stamina regen with every Sign cast, until battle ends. However i think its bugged and only triggers for the first Sign cast, otherwise would have been OP.
Hope that helps and good luck! 🍻
@@GamerGrade thanks alot.
You're welcome :)
I spared the doppler😑 I opened them all except the doppler!
Most of us missed the Doppler!
For whatever reason im missing the archgriffin mutation and i already did the contract. Is there another way to get this?
Yes there's a few ways as shown here: witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Archgriffin_mutagen
@@GamerGrade awsome thanks !didnt kno there was a witcher wiki!
Did my question make sense, I use ps4 I don't do internet I get you on thru youtube and I didn't get an instruction book
To access the Ghost Survivors, you simply click on Extra Modes from the main menu.
When you first start the game it won't be available until you begin the main story and trigger the first auto save checkpoint. Now you can quit to the main menu to access Extras Modes.
I spared them both
I think we all did the first time round lol 👍
Guessing it’s succubus and ancient leshen ? 👀 always a pain
PS. There’s a second ancient leshen in the hearts of stone dlc
Ahhhhh I was wrong with one
Of the remaining decoctions, the Ancient Leshen is definitely one of the rarer ones!
@@calebwhyte6957 There is a second succubus on base game as well.
i'm done being nice 💀
👊
Doppler decoration useless anyway, how many mobs can you rear attack with Witches clunky controls and no stealth system. Even giants can pivot faster than quick attack...
Using roll, but as you say its clunky 😉
Changing one shape does not make one ghoulish to fear a Doppler this is foolish
Is Ekimmara not included?
Most players tend to get the Ekimmara at some point, but the Doppler and Succubus are often completely missed.
@@GamerGrade do you have any idea good sir if where i can find other ekimmara? most of the forum i went to said there are only 3. no proven proof of the others
Go to this video: ruclips.net/video/NM_shesgNaU/видео.html
Then go to time 03:29. You'll find an Ekimmara there which drops the mutagen.
Do you have the Ekimmara formula?
@@GamerGrade yes i have. only the mutagen is missing. i gone through all the possible location and i missed 1 quest which is the byways murder. so i think ekimmara is also rare. they don't respawn including the one in the grotto
Yeah someone else reminded me that the Leshen decoction is also very rare, maybe ill include those two in a separate video, thanks for the heads up! 👍
no way im killing succubus geralt love to plaugh them
Unfortunately you cant plow that particular one, so you may as well kill it for the mutagen 👍
@@GamerGrade you are right the one with flowers u cant
Not sure why they didn't give us the option to plow first 🤔
I won't kill the succubus, no way sir..
Lol we all felt the same way first time round 👍
@@GamerGrade might one day get lucky like Eskal 🤣
Lol 👌
The decoctions are pointless though. All of them are. Even oils are.
I never got in to the whole potions/oils/decoctions thing with the game, just seemed so f*cking dumb.... IS so dumb AF.
I played with Just Story difficulty, then worked my way up on different playthroughs.
With the right combat abilities and sign level, you can get by with just those and a good pair of swords as long as you make the effort on armour.
Unless potions, oils, and decoctions allow you to one or two shot things which take twenty or thirty blows to fell otherwise, which they do not... they BARELY make a difference on the harder levels.....they really are just not worth it at all.
With the Blood and Wine and Heart of Stone additions, it becomes even more pointless than simple RP value, to use any of that nonsense. Load up on chickens from Skellige, MAYBE make the top tier healing potion, and then just do some key parts of those DLC's when you are ultra low level, on NG+ when you have some advanced mutations from the Turn and Face The Strange mission. You'll unlock the Runewright, and SHOULD be able to meet the basic prerequisites of the five codes, if you dodge a lot and chow down them chooks, to fight the monk and get Aerondite or whatever.
This will make the rest of the game much easier, having armour which generates Quen as soon as you enter combat and the most OP sword in the game, which remains powerful even ten or fifteen levels beyond what would be a normal swords window.
So there is literally no reason to get these decoctions.
To utilise the most powerful Ability in the game, Acquired Tolerance, Decoctions are an absolute necessity ;) 👍
In conjunction with Protective Coating, Oils are extremely effective.
@@GamerGrade I guess, but that ability is one I've never bothered once with, because I don't really potion, or oil or decoction for that matter, and I've never missed it.
I don't even know what most of the green abilities do, because I've never used most of them. I bump a couple up just to fill my slots, add a greater green mutagen and get that vitality boost, but that's it.
There's one where when you're almost dead you get a vitality boost, irrc, and if you bump that, it's like 75% of your health back. That's mighty handy, but the only one I've cared for.
On a NG+ you should have unlocked Second Life too.
The former triggers usually, though, before the latter.
Adding the only potions you need, Superior White Raffords, that gives you like 5 chances or so, lives, if you will, to nail any encounter.
Dumping points in combat and signs, along with those 'extra lives' usually ensures you come out a winner of any fight well before you run out of them.
So I've never felt the need to kill anything for mutagens aside from base colours, just pointing out whilst yes, you only have those two chances, one each, for those two things, but they're not unmissable at all.
Acquired Tolerance in conjunction with the Euphoria mutation is the most powerful combination in the game in terms of raw damage dealing, which is a pure Alchemy build.
But fair play bro, if you're not interested in Alchemy at all then thats cool and you should play how you want to, and the play style you describe is valid. I appreciate you sharing your opinions 👍
However, before knocking Alchemy, you should first properly try it out before stating its 'dumb AF'. 🍻
@@GamerGrade I meant no disrespect to players rocking alchemy....
....but as a design feature, rather.
Remember, in the books, it's kind of absolute
Witchers have mutations, they supercharge them, so to speak, with potions, or use the mutated physiology to imbibe substances that give special powers they alone can handle.
In the game, that isn't set in stone. If they set it as an active effect, Geralt always having X capabilities, due to Y mutagens and the nature of Witchers, and only that, you couldn't build a character. So you have base mutagens that are always in effect, BUT you can build upon them, improve those things such as potion use.To balance the game, they had to add the same for signs and combat.
But in so doing removed any need for employing the alchemy, so as Game Geralt can, ultimately, rely much less on alchemy than book Geralt seems able.
That's all I meant. The mechanics are redundant, because Signs can be empowered, and so can combat skills beyond a 'Book Witcher', removing the fundamental imperative that caused Witchers to use potions and oils.
Pretty sure in the books, if a Witcher wants a (temporary) 'Level Up', potions and oils are how he has to go about it, he can't 'Level Up' his signs and combat skill without the alchemy.
He can in the game, and avoids all the grind to make said potions, as well as having to sacrifice early gains, because alchemy looks to be the 'long game' build option, weakest at low levels, coming in to its own, later in the game.
That's what I meant, nothing judging the players who go in for that. It's just a lot of work, for something you can come close to, power wise, other routes, that require less grinding, and pay off more immediately.
Thanks for the replies, never meant to imply anything about players.
