How to Reset Ability Points in the Witcher 3

As an experienced gamer with countless hours spent immersed in the vast and captivating world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, I can confidently say that CD Projekt Red has truly outdone themselves with this masterpiece. One aspect that has always intrigued me is the ability to build and customize Geralt’s abilities, which adds a layer of depth to the gameplay experience.


The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt continues to set a high standard for exceptional open-world role-playing games. The latest update for next-gen systems introduced ray-tracing effects and a fresh quest for Geralt to explore. Although you don’t design your own character in The Witcher 3, you still develop Geralt’s skillset. With each level up, you acquire an ability point. You subsequently allocate these ability points towards various aspects of Geralt’s abilities.

In the Complete Edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which includes all DLC, the Level Cap is set at 100. However, even with the Blood and Wine expansion’s additional mutations that consume ability points, completing the game will only raise Geralt to around level 50. This implies that you won’t be able to fully maximize his Witcher skills. At some point during Geralt’s lengthy adventure, you might find it beneficial to reassign or redistribute his ability points as well as mutations. Here is a guide on how to do so in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

As a seasoned gamer traversing the enchanting world of The Witcher 3, especially with the Blood and Wine expansion, I’ve discovered that respecifying my abilities requires obtaining a specific concoction – the Potion of Restoration. This magical elixir is crucial for resetting all ability points I’ve allocated into mutations. With this potion, Geralt can utilize mutagens to enhance his abilities in various ways.

The “Potion of Clearance” is utilized within the skill tree branches for regular abilities. It sets you back 1000 gold pieces. In the early stages, they may be scarce, but as the game progresses, they become more abundant. Consuming this potion will reset Geralt’s ability points, offering you a chance to reconfigure his build. When starting New Game Plus, one “Potion of Clearance” is provided at no cost, allowing for adjustments to your build in preparation for the tougher enemies in your second playthrough.
