Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone - Easy Way to Kill the Toad Prince (Death March)

An easy way to kill the Toad Prince Boss in Witcher 3's new expansion "Hearts of Stone". Just use Igni's alternative firestream version to light the toad on fire and do massive damage.

[@ElCarlosT]

I killed the toad just with my sword because Shani said that they threw a torchlight at it and it didn't damage it so I thought it was inmune to fire

[@jomarilo.]

Bruh WHAT

[@jagdeepsingh9515]

I remember that.. that's why I was not using Igni on it because I thought it is immune to fire

[@user-mv4cn6eo3n]

Bruuuh me too

[@serenitynow85]

Me too, since Ignis is my to go magic attack

[@funk8412]

This has been the hardest boss for me so far. Got eredin on my literal first attempt, but this one took at least 10. There's a rhythm you can get into with heavy attacks, hitting him while he's in the air, then rolling away.

[@Deepak_2315]

Same. While I killed eredin without using any spell. Before this, I found fire elemental(maybe wrong name but you got it) hard because I used very low level equipments.

[@martyfunkhauser4663]

Why is this more difficult than the blood and wine final boss? I kicked my PlayStation cable out in rage because this abomination doesn't stol

[@riteasrain]

Ikr! I killed Caranthir in 1 minute and Eredin in 5 and hear I am, dying a million frickin times in spite of dosing myself up! 😈

[@jameseaton28]

@@riteasrain I just finished the quest in the sewer.. I just stood back and blasted the beastly toad with fire the whole time.

[@riteasrain]

@@jameseaton28 I did that too but didn't survive. Wish they'd put somewhere to hide so you can strategise...like old games :D

[@jameseaton28]

@@riteasrain Build up your ability points then upgrade your IGNI sign.. I upgraded my IGNI sign so much that now I can melt my enemies armor during battle.

[@riteasrain]

@@jameseaton28 I did that. It's been a while since I played it and I finished the game.

[@mapleman0035]

There is also a potion that makes this fight trivial. Superior golden oriole combined with a swallow will outheal any damage the toad can do if you intentionally let him poison you.

[@multosakalye]

Cool tip! thanks

[@mattankerholz6761]

BTW, using the superior fire bomb burns him instantly. Use that plus alternate yrden and the northern wind bomb and you can kill him without getting hit once. Just bomb, cast sign, hit until he jumps away then immediately throw your next bomb and repeat the cycle.

[@hectorcarrillo6859]

I was able to beat him in death March because he glitched in a corner & couldn’t move so I just spammed attack until he died

[@daviredfield88]

Thank you, I managed to beat him easily on normal at level 26 using this strategy.

[@MinesAGuinness]

Two problems with this: it does virtually no damage unless you press z to lock on... but pressing z means that Geralt literally runs at and hugs the toad rather than kiting him, no matter where you try to drag the mouse to make him run away to in between attacks! I've died faster using this method than any other!

[@JerryDechant]

Thanks for the information about using fire. their chatting in the game said fire doesn't work against it, but obviously it does.

[@devinmillican2873]

I'm also tired of people calling this boss "one of the hardest" bosses in the game. In no universe is anyone having this argument unironically. The toad prince is the hardest boss. That is an objective fact, so stop pretending like other bosses MIGHT be harder to some people. I guarantee you they're not. Nobody is out there acting that Detlaff or the Ofieri mage are more difficult to defeat lol.

[@haikalrifqinandika8724]

And its most annoying as shit🤣

[@oluwadamilola6233]

True, detlaff is easy once you time his ass, the toad prince is very unpredictable and annoying surely the hardest in the game

[@juukois3697]

Ofieri mage is pretty easy lol

[@soulessskull]

Quick tip, was at level 88 fighting him on new game+, superior northern wind+whirl+superior golden oriole+quen... Flawless victory

[@katyafedchun]

A bit harder at level 25 😭 but I made it

[@runningcommentary2125]

I have the upgraded igni and I never once thought to try this. But seriously, why didn't Radovid drag this guy out of the sewers and set him on Nilfgaard? The war would have been over in minutes, and he would still have time left over to jump all over the Wild Hunt and squash them.

[@naoiwatani8402]

MILFgaard would have employed mages for the quick destruction of the toad. If a Witcher can do it, a skilled wizard can do it faster.

[@matix676]

@@naoiwatani8402 you could say about anything. That mages can kill the whole army, then why bother fighting them, right? 🤦‍♂️

[@cnabors77]

I tried several other techniques from other videos, but they didn’t work. Must’ve spent at least 10 hours. But with your method, I defeated him in 10 minutes. Thx much!!!

[@three6jay]

If anyone doesn’t have the constant igni or have it very upgraded you can just stay close to him and keep dodging into his side and wait for him to do his tongue attack and then get two hits in and reposition. If you see his front tongue attack coming then immediately roll to the side. Golden Oriole is your friend and so is Cursed Oil

[@jaydenhogan507]

Alt Igni, Quen, Swallow, Troll decoction, to get a few sword hits in during his poison phase is what I opted for. Oh and some white honey to clear troll decoction when you get him to like mid health.

[@Phasma_Tacitus]

I beat him a similar way. Just after he used the tongue attack and I dodged, I would promptly cast normal Igni on him. I have Melt Armor, so maybe that's a must, I don't know. The fire did 7k damage, so I just needed to do this a few times and he was dead.

[@chrisgraham1781]

I'm currently stuck on this started the mission far to early with no health potions or food and under leveled I'm not giving up though.

[@justinfehr2964]

How are you burning him. My igni sign doest catch him on fire

[@serenitynow85]

I was like 11 level under. And I loved it. I haven't felt more like a witcher since that fight Ekimmara decoction to regenerate life with each blow I gave. Katakan decoction to increase critical hit chance. And of course Golden Oriole and Swallow This is my second time playing The Witcher 3, first time with DLC and this has been the only fight that made me consume concoctions

[@tjswann8479]

This was the only way that worked for me! Thank you so much!

[@r0lfu_]

did this on death march + enemy upscaling and i didnt have the fire stream or points for it. base igni spam works too just have avoid his attacks and survive for longer.

[@Mrgokujr2012]

For those who upgraded their Yrden so that it shoots the enemy, you can also do that, and get a few hits in. Then, when it jumps behind you, just before it lands you cast another upgraded Yrden, and hit him again. Rinse, repeat. Took me longer than I'm proud of to figure it out.

[@corey57255]

Freeze it with northern wind then punch it. Takes 2-3 hits on normal difficulty

[@prjudansedusabimana9501]

everyone talking about the strategy yet nobody talks about potions they are using and where to get them

[@filipjohansson7095]

Nice, im struggling with him now. How did you put the talents for Igni, and what lvl did you had on this atempt?

[@devinmillican2873]

Thats6like saying Shao Khan is "one of" the most difficult bosses in MK2. It's absurd.

[@DecimatedSoul]

I dont get it Geralt clearly says Fire doesn't effect him but yet it does

[@silas30]

Beat this god awful boss with less than 100 vitality and almost cried when it was ober

[@jackr57]

No way is m able to overcome this... crappy logic and game.u will be given level 32 in hearts and stone dlc when u start off and now way matching with this..this is my 5th night trying this ...one single blow is taking half of my life..and posionous gas too.. Edit: Finally I did it...using Igni only...but was a narrow escape..

[@shahlat7836]

Thanks!! That really did the trick

[@Carandtechtalks]

Bro I am at level 4 and I can’t kill him I am frustrated af you just think how I managed to kill drowners then

[@AnIgniSign]

Its very vulnerable during the tongue attack

[@adamabdad9677]

How do you use that agni? I have different type agni

[@guntulua3232]

Dude, you rule! It wasn't just hard but incredibly annoying to me. I just douched and blew fire, ıt takes some time but better than attack with sword or bombs. Thanks!

[@abbasquare]

Geralt stands in place like a little bitch on my PS4. He takes forever to cast Igni, he guards instead of running. He has been stellar up until this boss and now he is utterly useless. I hate this mission.

[@doomdude69]

wtf is this boss? curve ball out of nowhere

[@valkordarkmoor9108]

We don’t deserve you man, thank you.

[@leorys]

I used superior cursed oil, superior dancing star and yrden and stun locked him in the fire from the bombs

[@chanteledwards3615]

You have to be playing on just the story 🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

lol just use northern wind and after hes frozen just put back your sword and punch it from behind, one punch does like 1/3 of his hp

It took me 6 min on Lv 37. I've used 2 Potions of Enhanced Golden Oriole, 2 Enhancing Dancing Star bombs (they worked but you don't have to use them), Igni sign, and I dodged a lot. Didn't use my sword on him at all.

Ur fuckin genius

[@devinmillican2873]

Well that's cute because I don't know anyone who would waste even a single experience point on Ingi's alternate mode. I mean, I'm sure you'll find plenty of people developing that sign if they've never played the game before, but everyone who has beaten the game knows that Igni's alternate mode is an utterly useless waste of exp points. So if you're telling me that we should develop that ability simply for this one boss, I think the game developers deserve a fair amount of hate mail. That is if they didn't already deserve it for putting an insufferably ridiculous toad prince in their game to begin with. Honestly, the first time I saw it, I felt like I was being trolled. No bullshit.

[@peterburlin8198]

Regular Igni works just fine too. But you gotta face him and time it right. Tough mofo the Toad Prince.

[@Christian-oi7sd]

You’re an angry elf

[@devinmillican2873]

@peterburlin8198 nah. Ice bomb, rend and whirl. That's all you need. Maybe the occasional dancing star. No need to waste stamina on signs.

Quen, yerden alternate, dancing star sup. Wyveren decoction, Aerondight charge, whirl. Golden oriole sup.
