The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is considered to be one of the best RPGs out there, and very few games have managed to dethrone CD Projekt Red’s masterpiece. Throughout The Witcher 3, players will explore swamps and caves filled with poison gas. Even though Geralt is a mutant, he takes considerable damage when exposed to poison gas.

Fortunately, players can get rid of poison gas in several ways. For those looking to deal with this problem, this guide will illustrate how players can easily deal with poison gas during their Witcher 3 playthrough.

How to Remove Poison Gas in The Witcher 3

Players can efficiently deal with poison gas by using the following methods:

Use Igni

Poison gas is green, allowing players to identify it to stay wary while exploring underground ruins or caves. While it is possible to avoid poisonous gas fields, players won't always have the option to. The best solution for this problem involves using the Igni sign to burn away the gas, but it will return after a short time.

While using Igni, stay as far away from the poison gas as possible to avoid taking damage from the resulting explosion.

Use Aard

Like Igni, there is also the option to use the Aard sign to get rid of poison gas. The Aard sign is typically used to push enemies back and stun them, but it can also push away poison gas, giving Geralt enough time to walk through poison gas clouds with ease.

Use Potion

Lastly, the Golden Oriole Potion is incredibly useful against poison gas, allowing Geralt to become invincible against damage, even from poison gas. Players can craft the potion if they have the alchemical formula. If not, they can purchase it from a herbalist outside Oxenfurt.

The base variant of the Golden Oriole Potion lasts 60 seconds, but it can be upgraded so that it lasts a maximum of 180 seconds. Players can upgrade the potion by visiting Joanna in Rannaivaig and Germist in Skellige Isle after completing the “A Practicum in Advanced Alchemy” quest for enhanced and superior recipes.
