Reliever's Decoction is a Decoction in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Decoctions are special mixtures that Geralt can imbibe to gain various buffs with more substantial effects compared to Potions, placing a greater emphasis on synergy with the player's build and playstyle. These effects have a much longer duration, but they also incur Decoction Toxicity which, unlike Potion Toxicity, does not dissipate over time and remains active for the duration of the Decoction, essentially holding a sizeable chunk of your Toxicity bar and limiting your ability to imbibe other concoctions. Decoctions can be used at any time from the Inventory. By default, they have only 1 charge each but can be replenished by Meditating for at least one hour while possessing one or more units of Alcohol.
Reliever's Decoction Attributes in The Witcher 3
The Reliever's Decoction has the following properties:
Increases damage dealt and decreases damage taken against wraiths.
Attacking a specter prevents it from using its abilities and turning immaterial.
+10% Attack power versus Specters
+15% Resistance to slashing damage
+15% Resistance to piercing damage
+15% Resistance to bludgeoning damage
+15% Resistance to damage from monsters
+15% Resistance to elemental damage
This Decoction's in-game effect description is slightly misleading as you still need to force the wraith to turn corporeal with the Yrden Sign or Moondust Bomb in order to land an attack that will prevent them from turning immaterial again. However, once this is accomplished, the wraith is essentially locked down and will have very little in the way of defending itself.
Reliever's Decoction's effects have a base duration of 1,800, but this can be improved with every single point invested in any Skills in the Alchemy Skill line. The Adaptation skill also specifically improves the duration of all Decoctions up to a maximum of 50%. However, this is generally not a worthwhile skill to invest in as you get more than enough of a duration boost just by investing in any Alchemy skills.
