📋 About This Mod
Updated for the Enhanced Edition.
~~~*~
You don\'t really need the Cat potion very often, but in the very dark places of the game, they always seem to run out too fast and you can\'t very well meditate in the middle of battle.
So I\'ve made longer cat potions in two flavors, 10 and 15 minutes long.
Just drop the def_stats_item_potion.xml into your ../The Witcher2/CookedPC folder.
If you already have a def_stats_item_potion.xml in your items folder from another mod, just open it with notepad and find the following lines (starting from line 12):
Extends Cat potion duration to 10 and 15 minutes, designed for long mine crawls in The Witcher 2. Simple alchemy tweak with 427 endorsements and 7,785 downloads, last updated May 2012. Perfect for players tired of short night-eye potions during underground exploration.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Endorsed by 427 users — a reliable tweak.
- 7,785 downloads show it's a popular quality-of-life fix.
- No bloat: just longer potion timers exactly as advertised.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated 2012 — no support for current game patches or DLC.
- Only two fixed durations; no option to customize timing.
For Witcher 2 alchemy enthusiasts who spend long stretches in dark caves and mines. Players who want the Cat potion's night vision without frequent re-brewing. Skip if you want a full alchemy overhaul or variable potion durations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- In Witcher 2, place the mod's XML file in CookedPC\items, overwriting the original potion definitions.
- Back up your original def_item_potions.xml first so you can revert if needed.
- No mod manager required — the mod is a simple file replacement.
