In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, there are five different spells that Geralt can use — these spells are called Signs. There are both non-combat signs and combat signs. In this guide you will learn the location of every "Place of Power" that will give temporary boosts to specific signs.
There are around 16 Places of Power located throughout the game and if you have a boost on all five signs at once, you get a Trophy/Acheivment.
First, let's go over the five different signs:
- Aard: Telekinetic blast of energy that can stagger opponents.
- Igni: A fire ball that blasts enemies
- Yrden: Magic trap that slows enemies.
- Quen: Protective shield that lasts until it absorbs 5% of Geralt's maximum Vitality.
- Axii: Charms opponents, putting them out of combat.
