When Eredin is almost brought down, he vanishes in an arched portal. Head through, appearing back on the Naglfar. After a few more well-placed slashes, you better Eredin in combat . Slumped and without his mask, he tells you Avallac’h has tricked you both—and has made off with Cirilla! As hounds bound up onto the deck, you’re grabbed by Yennefer, and sucked back into her portal. The quest concludes, and Main Quest: Tedd Deireadh, The Final Age immediately begins.
Defeating Eredin: The Best Battle Tactics
Eredin attacks with the following:
Swords: He is adept at swordplay, enhanced by the Wild Hunt’s magic. He can perform long combos, block your attacks and Signs , and can easily counter you and strike back viciously afterwards.
Teleports: He uses a short teleport to overpower your mobility. He gains ice armor every time he employs this technique. Once damaged, he drags you through a portal to a large arena.
Spells: On the cliff top arena, he uses three spells to defeat you: a single slashing wave of power, a multiple slash wave of power, and a rain of ice shards.
Eredin should be beaten with the following techniques:
Signs : Melt his ice armor with Igni. Eredin can block your channeled igni, but cannot perform any other action during this time, buying you some time to replenish your health with food or potions . Use Yrden to weaken Eredin’s mobility.
Swordplay: Eredin’s long combos are deadly, so hold your guard and wait for a good opportunity to strike.
Bombs : Samum is a low risk, high reward strategy; a well-timed throw lets you utilize a few extra attacks as Eredin staggers from the explosion.
Dodge Eredin’s spells with swift movement , retreating, and Quen. The rain of shards is both chaotic and dangerous, so look for shadows of incoming shards and move away from them.
Finish him off: When Eredin is low on health, he desperately casts rain of ice shards and escapes through the portal; waste no time following him, and dodging any last shards.
