The Witcher 3 is full of monsters and ghosts that Geralt will fight while taking the contracts that are present in the world. Noonwraiths are a powerful form of wraith that are usually found near fields and can use a plethora of different abilities to defeat their opponents in a quick and efficient way, including Geralt and other Witchers.
Noonwraiths are a terrifying type of monster because they have many defensive capabilities against different effects that monster hunters can inflict them with, including bleeding and poison. Although Noonwraiths are scary, there are many interesting facts that fans can learn about these monsters.
10 Noonwraiths Are Heavily Connected To The Physical Realm
A Noonwraith is connected to the physical world in a way that most players wouldn't expect since they seem to be dead. However, it is revealed throughout the lore of The Witcher universe that Noonwraiths are actually very much present in the physical world, at least during daylight hours.
It seems that a Noonwraith is able to attack any physical creature in the world, which is evident by the fact that they are able to attack Geralt and other monster hunters, as well as regular humans that they prey upon.
9 Noonwraiths Are Immune To Poison, Blinding, Pain, And Bleeding Abilities
Noonwraiths have many strengths, including being immune to poison, blinding, pain, and even bleeding abilities that monster hunters may throw at them.
The ability to be unaffected by these powerful effects proves that a Noonwraith is not a monster that a person should be messing with and that they are exceedingly stronger than most other monsters in The Witcher universe.
8 Noonwraiths Lure Their Victims Into Circles Of Light
Circles of light are common to be seen around a Noonwraith, and this is because Noonwraiths usually use them to lure in victims that it may see the distance.
For this reason, travelers need to be careful when they see a circle of light as it is more than just a pretty spectacle on a warm summer's day. Luckily, most people in The Witcher universe are aware of this circle of light that a Noonwraith is able to spawn, and as such, they stay away from one wherever it is found.
7 A Runaway Bride Will Occasionally Transform Into A Noonwraith
A runaway bride is commonly seen as a reason that a Noonwraith is created because they will sometimes transform into these creatures when they run away from their wedding.
It is said that great sadness is able to create a Noonwraith, and a bride running away from their wedding probably has a good reason to be depressed in some way; otherwise, they would not have run away from such an important event in the first place.
6 Noonwraiths Are Considered To Be A Specter
Noonwraiths are classified as a Specter, and this is because of their abilities and the way that a person transforms into one of these creatures.
The Specter classification of monsters is a variety of creatures that most people in The Witcher universe fear because they have supernatural abilities that are not found in the average monster. This is yet another great reason that civilians should leave a Noonwraith alone if they happen to see one nearby.
5 Noonwraiths Can Blind Their Enemies With The Sun
One powerful ability that a Noonwraith has is being able to grab rays of sunlight and shine them on their enemy's face, effectively blinding them and causing them to lose the fight.
As if a Noonwraith didn't already have very powerful abilities, this sunray harnessing power is one of the scariest attacks that they can use. Being blind in a fight is terrifying, and monster hunters know this all too well by fighting Noonwraiths on the job.
4 Noonwraiths Dislike It When Humans Watch Them From A Distance
A Noonwraith usually dislikes it when humans watch them from a distance, and this is one of the reasons that a Noonwraith will attempt to capture a person in its circle of light and kill them.
This makes spotting a Noonwraith even more terrifying because they are more likely to attack a person that has been watching them from a distance. Characters in the game should stay away if they see evidence that a Noonwraith is nearby because they may not escape with their lives if they go looking for it.
3 Noonwraiths Appear When The Crops Are Swaying Back And Forth
Noonwraiths are very rare; however, they do occasionally appear near farms and other small villages. People will usually spot a Noonwraith in a field if there is one nearby.
There is one way to know if a Noonwraith is approaching, and this is by looking at the grass and other crops to see if they are swaying. It seems that Noonwraiths are so powerful that they may cause some sort of wind to be created near where it is currently appearing.
2 Specter Oil Is The Best Way To Defeat A Noonwraith - Bear Fat And Arenaria
The best item to use to defeat a Noonwraith is Specter oil. A person should cover their sword in it and attack the Noonwraith head-on. This oil can be created by using Bear Fat and Arenaria.
Specter Oil is essential for any player that plans on defeating a Noonwraith since they are immune to so many effects, such as bleeding. Since this oil isn't too difficult to make, it is worth always keeping a few in Geralt's inventory just in case.
1 Noonwraiths Are Commonly Mistaken For Women In Dresses
It is common for people to spot a Noonwraith and mistake it for a lady that is wearing a dress. Most Noonwraiths are found near fields while wearing dresses since they are brides that ran away from their weddings.
This is one mistake that a lot of people in The Witcher universe make, and it, unfortunately, leads to their early demise. It is unfortunate that a Noonwraith has such a similar appearance to an average woman in a dress, and that people will only notice the difference between the two once it is too late.
