Mutations

Mutations let you gain new capabilities, increasing your advantage over normal men and giving you an added edge in killing monsters. To develop advanced mutations, you must first develop other, more basic ones. Information about this can be found in the mutation's description.

Mutations let you alter the biochemical mechanisms governing Geralt's body. These mutations let Geralt gain new capabilities which normal men could never hope to acquire.

Developing Mutations
You can develop several different mutations, but only one of them can be active at a time. To develop a mutation, select it in the Mutation Panel and use the Research Mutation option. To complete research, you must devote Ability Points and mutagens of the right color. Once you confirm the research, the needed Ability Points and/or mutagens will be spent. More advanced mutations require you to develop the basic ones first – look for information about this in the mutation's description.

Advanced mutations
Advanced mutations, distinguished by their yellow color, require multiple types of mutagens, but allow you to use any Abilities from the Combat, Signs or Alchemy groups.

Strengthened Synapses
Strengthened Synapses is a special mutation, that develops automatically as you finish research on other mutations. This mutation has several levels. Each time it gains a level, an additional Ability slot is unlocked in the Character Panel. The color of Ability which can be placed in a slot must match the color of the active mutation, so if a blue mutation is active, you can only activate a blue Ability, and so on. Yellow mutations are an exception -- when a yellow mutation is activated, you can use any Ability from the Combat, Alchemy or Signs groups.
