The Witcher 2 was a huge success compared to the previous game in the series. The sequel had a better story, exceptional combat, and great replayability. While the game is pretty straightforward, players may face certain obstacles that hinder their progress, such as the Letho fight at the end of Chapter One.

Letho is a tough opponent, requiring players to memorize his attack patterns to defeat him. Those struggling to defeat Letho can use this guide for step-by-step instructions on how to do so.

How to Beat Letho in The Witcher 2

Let’s take a look at some important tips while going head-to-head against Letho:

• Letho is incredibly difficult to tackle on Dark and Insane difficulties, especially since he will charge at Geralt with deadly strikes and uses various ranged attacks.
• Since Letho was a Witcher before, he can also use signs like Igni and Aard.
• When Letho uses the Quen sign, Geralt cannot inflict any damage to him.

To defeat Letho, players should follow these steps:

Whenever Letho uses Quen, Geralt should use the Yrden sign to eliminate the effects of his sign. Additionally, players could parry his attacks, but it would be wiser to attack and retreat by rolling back since Letho can land a lethal blow quickly.

After Letho’s health drops below fifty percent during the first boss fight, a cutscene will play, and he will show mercy to Geralt and leave. This will not be the case during the second fight, but players can follow the same strategy from before to take this challenging enemy down.

After defeating Letho, players can choose between killing or sparing him. By choosing to spare him, Letho will return during the events of The Witcher 3. Since killing Letho does not earn the player anything, letting him live is a better option.
