How to kill echinops?

Question

I am playing The Witcher at maximum difficulty and it is indeed difficult as it describes, even more.

At the moment I have some (many) problems killing Echinops in Vizima swamps. Do you have some suggestions how to fight them?

Answer

They are sensitive to fire, using Igni to ignite them works pretty well. You can use Argentia oil on your silver sword if you have the material to increase your damage.

Be careful to never engage more than one of them, they can't move so you just need to position yourself well. There is also a named archespore in the swamp (Coccacidium) which can easily kill you if you're careless. It looks very similar to an echinops and can spawn in several locations. You'll get a trophy for killing it. You might have to avoid that one until you leveled a bit if you're having problems, but you should be able to kill the normal echinops.
