As they said, there's light from the candles. If you really want a Cat, though, there's a fireplace in the crypt; if you have ingredients on you, you can meditate for an hour and make anything you want.I thought Quen vs. the Striga was a lot of fun -- she exhausts herself trying to get you, while you just stand there and smile at her. But there are lots of ways of handling it.Winstar said:
Hi guys,First of all I would like to say that this game is f****g AMAZING!!!!!Probably is the best game I've ever played!!!!O.k I am in the room and I am going to face Striga.Now do I have to kill her or just running around the sarcofagus??I think that the point is to kill her right?? or not?
it's entirely up to you. Those are your choices: either you run around the sarcophagus all night to cure her of the curse, or you kill her to save the town from her in striga form.There is not a categorically "right" decision ... but I can tell you that many people on this forum like to save poor Adda 
-- i've killed her a few times though
-- i've killed her a few times though I killed her on my first gameplay because she betrayed Geralt at the end of Act III... hussy But I also kept her alive, which is a very entertaining phase in the crypt because you can experiment with all kind of skills and bombs which aren't lethal at once and which you haven't used before ;D
But I also kept her alive, which is a very entertaining phase in the crypt because you can experiment with all kind of skills and bombs which aren't lethal at once and which you haven't used before ;DIt's up to you -- you can choose to kill her, or you can choose to break the curse. If you decide to break the curse, there are several different ways you can go about it, some of which are a little more fun than just circling the sarcophagus all night.One of the things I considered when deciding whether to kill or cure was the past -- what did Geralt choose to do the last time Adda was a striga? I figured he'd probably do the same thing again, but that's just my take on it -- part of the beauty of this game is that you can think about it in whatever way makes sense to you.pepez said:
It's not her fault she's a striga. I decided to save, because witchers aren't just about slaying monsters, they do try to lift the curse when possible. However I must say that I really dislike that spoiled brat. Killing her might even be more worth it (striga potion) on the other hand the witcher's code binds me to at least try and save her.gamewidow said:
If you'd spent the first seven years of your life in a coma and the next seven years as a striga, you might not be too civilized, either. *smile* Nobody actually raised Adda -- I'm surprised she can even talk.Hamenaglar said:
b) clearly it was a waste of his time as she's a striga once againworse.... she has business with the ones who stole the Witchers secrets, all in all criminals. She is beyond hope ;D Who knows if she falls into relapse once again.... the 3rd time then.gamewidow said:
But she didn't relapse. If you keep getting run over by cars, we don't say that you've relapsed, we say that you have new injuries.PetraSilie said:
I think this is the main point. Getting in good with the king by saving his daughter also helps the faction you choose. And, you probably get a better reward? I found the easist way to spare her was to camp at the fireplace in front of the room with her sarcaphogous and prepare potions, etc. until 2 hours before dawn. I built up my Quen skill (the shield one), created the Endurance and Vitality boost potions to use. Enter room to cut scene. Cast Quen and simply waited it out til dawn. Had to keep casting quen of course and she still did damage to me now and then so took apropriate measures to heal. Even had to knock her on her arse a couple of times to give me time to cast quen again.Tobariah said:
umm, since the combat seemed a little too dangerous and it caught me off guard, I used signs, namely Igni after a sucky Aard attempt, and instead of the normal 30-40 damage I'm used to seeing, it dealt 600-700 damage True, I had used a place of power, but still, 400 damage (which would be done without the ritual of magic) is a lot more than 40. Could that be a glitch, as I don't think the striga would be SO susceptible to fire?
True, I had used a place of power, but still, 400 damage (which would be done without the ritual of magic) is a lot more than 40. Could that be a glitch, as I don't think the striga would be SO susceptible to fire?For the first time, I had no idea that I can save her. I just found myself in crypt, Velerad refused to let me out, so I went to fight and I killed her. After that I learned that there was a chance to save her and I was sorry I couldn´t do that(because I´m very helpful witcher ;D) So second time I learned how to save her and I did save her.I was then suprised in Epilogue
because since I killed her first time, I met Vincent in his werewolf form and now, there she was - striga! And she was helping me
an even more surprising ally :whatthe: I met Adda as striga / Vincent as werewofl in the icy plains. On my 3rd play through I let both live and just arrived in the epilog. Who I may expect?*ponders about the suprise ally* :hmmm: I'm not sure but I guess I kept the talking ghoul alive too.
