How to beat: Kikimore warrior

Warriors attack more slowly than workers, but they spit venom from range and leap into melee, so keep moving and dodge their jumps. Their venom raises Geralt's potion toxicity, which makes White Honey especially useful. Coat your silver sword with Insectoid oil, burn them with Igni and remember that Axii has no effect. Since the workers depend on the warrior's orders, bringing it down first breaks up the whole swarm.

About

Kikimore warriors are the armored defenders of a kikimore nest, covered in thick, hard plates that easily turn aside even a sharp sword. They direct the swarms of workers, leap at intruders and spit streams of caustic venom over long distances. Scholars still do not know how kikimores communicate; one theory holds that they use scents imperceptible to humans.
