Witcher Monster Slayer: Monster types - how to identify them?
On this page of The Witcher Monster Slayer guide, you will find information on how to differentiate between monster types.
Bestiary

You can find information about types in the bestiary. To enter the bestiary, you must click the arrow at the very bottom of the screen (shown in the screenshot above).

The next step will be to enter the "bestiary" available at the very center of the screen.

In the bestiary, you can find information about all monsters you have met. The descriptions of the opponents include:
- the option to see the monster in AR,
- vulnerabilities/weaknesses,
- the monster's class
- occurrence,
- length,
- weight,
- a brief description.
Monster description

A quicker way to distinguish a monster type is to check the monster's description before the fight. The type name will be at the very top, between the monster's name and its difficulty level.
