Devourers leave Rotfiend blood instead of Devourers blood. Bug?

Today I've killed Devourers in numbers, reloading saves just before a nest in Novigrad area and near Hindhold. All spawning Devourers don't leave Devourer's blood after death but Rotfiend blood. Anyone else experiencing this "feature"?

yup, same thing...

 

[bunsenbrenner]

strange, same happens when i kill bandits. they drop just blood and not bandit blood - dang. i need bandit blood so bad in my lab right now.

 

[cyberpunkforever]

they are the same kind of monster: necrophage, they have the same blood

 

[bunsenbrenner]

doesnt make any sense but they actually drop different blood over here just checked - i might find bandit's blood one day by chance

Your attempts to be funny are funny themselves. So you don't have to try anymore, I know you're cute.

Yes that is correct, Rotfiends and Devourers are both necrophages. I suppose you didn't play Witcher 3 that much, but you see, crafting certain alchemical compounds clearly states "Devourer's blood" as an ingredient, not "Rotfiend's blood". I hope you see now why Devourers leaving only Rotfiend blood as loot are a problem, do you?

I have the same problem. Devourers don't drop Devourer blood, only Rotfiend blood. I thought at first that they might drop both, with Devourer blood being more rare, but so far I've found none and I've killed a lot of them. It sucks because I need it for formulae. Another bug I suppose...

I must say I'm disappointed a lot with NG+. This is the first time I'm playing W3 from the start on NG+ and so far it's full of bugs, bugs I didn't experience when I started Blood & Wine New Game option. I don't know if 1.22 update is the culprit or not as I never played NG+ before, but updating the game from 1.11 to 1.12 and then to 1.2 resulted in corrupted graphics and other things cropping up that I haven't experienced since I started playing the game for the first time about a year ago.

im on ng+ and done with velen. have 50 pc of rotfiends blood and 4 pc of devourer blood, so it seems to work over here on gog offline install at 1.22 - out of curiousity i reinstalled using gog galaxy and devourers still drop devourer blood.

Thanks for this info. My game was not installed using GOG Galaxy, I used physical disks for base game and patches/updates downloaded from GOG.com to bring the game up to 1.22..

I'm in the same boat. I have the original GOG release and have updated the game incrementally as each new patch was released. I suspect the patchers are at fault, as they have been for many other recent bugs. I don't have the luxury to re-download 50GB and reinstall from scratch unfortunately. BTW I get this particular bug on normal mode, haven't tried NG+.

 

[bunsenbrenner]

you can use your existing installer as the base and use gog galaxy repair/verify as postfix. then take a look at this thread http://forums.cdprojektred.com/thre...sent-in-Galaxy-version)?p=2646081#post2646081

I've verified files via GOG Galaxy, removed files from patch0, patch1 and content as specified in the thread linked in the latest bunsenbrenner's post. I've killed about a dozen Devourers that spawn near Rotfiend nests the Pontar crossing and all I get is Rotfiend blood.

 

[bunsenbrenner]

Devourers are the mini bosses of the Rotfiend nests, they appear once you killed all rotfiends or after you blow up the nests. there are two nests in velen , area southwest of the pontar and as far i remember two groups on fayke isle

the ones who drop the specified blood are the ones with the poisionious gas when killed, they dont explode like the others

I started a new game with V1.20 on steam and have had Devourer blood drop. I think in Skellege.

and what bunsenbrenner posted above.
