Tutorial campfires

Items Flint Game Icon Igni symbol selected

Campfires and fireplaces are found scattered about the landscape in The Witcher. They provide convenient and free places for Geralt to rest and also indulge in a little alchemy. Most of these look the same, but some are a bit different. For example, some areas look more like roasting pits but still can be used the same way. Of course the reverse is also true, especially with fireplaces, most fireplaces are not "usable", but some are. Holding down the Alt-key will reveal any usable fire sources, along with anything else that is "click-able" in the area.

Prologue Chapter I Chapter II Chapter III Chapter IV Chapter V Epilogue

Mechanics[ | ]

Fires that are already lit: When Geralt first enters an area, you will notice that all available campfires are lit. This is very handy in finding them (as are the maps). On subsequent visits, these fire sources are not generally lit.

Safe areas:

  • Make sure you have flint (you can not use Igni)
  • Left-click on a campfire or fireplace to ignite the fire with flint and enter meditation mode.

Dangerous areas / times of day:

  • Make sure you have flint or can cast Igni.
  • Left-click on a campfire or fireplace to ignite the fire with flint and enter meditation mode, or right-click to use Igni and then left-click to enter meditation mode.
