The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's Relict Species Explained
Relicts are creatures in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that are named after their ancient origins; in fact, some of them are creatures that have inhabited the world for more than a hundred years. There are a lot of species that differ in forms and capabilities.
Unlike other magical creatures in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Relicts are not vulnerable to silver, so an experienced Witcher knows that steel is the best choice when facing them. They are the toughest creatures a Witcher will have to face during his adventures on the Continent.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Why Ogroids Are Pests More Than Threats
Chorts are Relicts that inhabit the Kaer Morhen, Velen, and Skellige regions in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. They are similar to Fiends but are smaller, but this doesn't mean they are not dangerous; they are more than capable of killing.
People often mistake them for Sylvans, believing that they can communicate, stand on two legs, play pranks, but Chorts and Sylvans are two different species, and they should not be mistaken. Chorts cannot speak; they can communicate with other Chorts with moans, snorts, and grunts.
Chorts fight with little finesse, running straight towards their opponent and trying to knock him to the ground with the force of their charge. After downing their foe, they bite, kick and strike with their claw-tipped paws. Due to their size and four-legged posture, they are primarily unperturbed by the force of the sign Aard, and the regenerative powers of their body allow any wounds they receive to heal at a rapid pace.
