Practicum in Advanced Alchemy is a secondary quest in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Journal entry[ | ]
- At one point during his travels Geralt learned of a master alchemist named Gremist. Rumor had it this druid knew more about alchemy than most men know about the contours of their own members. Geralt, ever eager to polish his skills, decided to find this learned druid and absorb whatever knowledge from him he could.
- This Gremist proved to be a strange individual, but then so do most mages and druids – routinely staring into the abyss of otherworldly power has that effect. Rather than let Geralt learn from him right away, he first forced him to undergo three trials. Geralt passed all three with flying colors and the druid had no choice but to take him on as an apprentice. Thus Geralt, showing an admirable commitment to lifelong learning, gathered his chalk and prepared his slate for some advanced alchemy lessons.

Notes[ | ]
- After you meet the druid while searching for pimpernel and follow the path downhill instead of uphill, you can discover a fresh grave, which Geralt points out was made not skillfully but with care. The druid recognizes Jorre the White of Kaer Trolde as buried there - he doesn't appear to have any lethal wounds but looks drained. When confronting the succubus after that, she'll comment, that Jorre died of exhaustion even though she warned him about it, and that she buried him in accordance to customs.
