Steel Swords vs. The Wild Hunt

Steel Swords vs. The Wild Hunt

"A wraith cannot be killed, only driven away. Every witcher knows that. Yet the riders fell beneath the blows of our witchers' blades, crimson blood flowed from under their dead men's armor."

- Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher 2)

1. What this mod does:

All Wild Hunt enemies (except for the Hounds) are now vulnerable to Steel Swords and Hanged Man's Venom.

2. What inspired this change:

"There are a lot of legends and myths about it, but the Wild Hunt is a fact. I've fought and killed many of its wraiths. They were spectral emanations, the avatars of real riders..."

- Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher 2)

While it's totally fine to fight these spectral avatars with the Silver Sword, it does not make any sense at all to use it against the actual riders since they are ordinary elves or how Letho would put it: "Real, material sons of bitches".

I do understand why CDPR decided to have us fight them with Silver Swords since it could end up a bit messy when fighting soldiers alongside with their hounds. But well... Nobody ever said that fighting the Wild Hunt would be a simple thing to do.

3. Known Issues:

With this mod the Imlerith boss fight gets a bit messed up. He fights with his final phase moveset right from the start. I will fix this once I completed the game to check if Ededin and Caranthir need adjustments as well.
