In Witcher 3 Blood and Wine, along with new quests, armor, weapons, and area, there is another addition called the Mutation Tree added in the game. This ability is locked from the start so you need to unlock it first and then start using the various skills. This Mutation Guide will show you how to unlock different Mutation skills and what are their requirements.
How to Unlock Mutation
Feb 13, 2016 All Skill Slots Unlocked at Level 1 Mod - Help! - posted in The Witcher 3 Mod Troubleshooting: So, I followed the mod authors (MrRoflWaffles) instructions to the letter, and couldnt get the mod to work. I read through the posts section and saw where a few people had gotten it to work by using QuickBMS and editing the skills xml file. I tried that, (done it before, so I knew what I was doing.
You need to first find Dr. Moreau's secret Laboratory which is inside the Valley of the Nine. You will be exploring this place in 'Turn and Face the Strange' side quest. This quest is locked until you receive a letter from Yennefer which has the information about the Laboratory. Once you gain access to the Laboratory you have unlocked the Mutation Ability in Witcher 3.
The Mutation Tree is divided into 3 sections - Combat, Alchemy, and Magic. You must invest your skill points and mutagens to research more about them which are available after the 'Turn and Face the Strange' side quest. The Tree looks more like the web and the lower levels are good to unlock and use. You are going to Start the Mutation Tree with Strengthened Synapses and then start improving the other sections.
Note: You can have only One Skill active at a Time
To Upgrade each mutation, you need 2 Skill Points and 2 Greater Green Mutagens. A Blue Mutation will allow you to equip Magic skills in the Slot while the Hybrid(Red and Green) will allow you to use Combat and Alchemy Skills. Let's take a closer look at the list of all the Mutations in Blood and Wine.
