How to unlock the Dendrologist achievement in THE WITCHER 3: WILD HUNT - Definitive Guide

I find it stupid to have to do this, but there is a good solution to avoid skilling things you don't want: There is a Shopkeeper in Novigrad that sells the Potion of Clearance (for 1000 Gold) that resets all your ability Points.

So you can save, buy the Potion, get the Achievement and load again - and if you need to reskill you know where to buy it later.

The negative vote might be because you can save before buying the potion and not before drinking it so you can keep your money

No idea why but for some reason this popped randomly during
. No idea why or how because I was nowhere near getting all the abilities in any tree.

I didn't want to have to use this method, I wanted to get the achievements more... 'organically'. But as you say, I don't think there's any reasonable way to do this one but cheesing it like this. It's a shame, even in one of the best games of this generation, there're still silly achievements like this! Perhaps something got lost in translation during the development cycle.

The 'general' tree has been expanded (it's now 15 skill points to fill) but it worked as soon as I got them all.

This solution should be updated because the general tree now requires 20 points to unlock everything.

I find the easiest tree to master is the combat tree since you need to get many of the skills to make combat easier and for some achievements.

For some reason the achievement doesn't pop as it should normally I assume it is due to the latest update. With that being said it can be fixed by FIRST meditating before getting the final skill in the general tree. So once you are at 19/20 meditate then you need to immediately go over and get the final skill and your achievement should pop.

And you should also say in what part of Novigrad is the shopkeeper so we don't have to watch the video if we can't (northern part just before the bridge to the small part of town on an island)

You can also buy the Potion of Clearance from Keira Metz for 1000 Crowns. The General branch is the easiest to complete. It's only 10 single point skills. I saved before I bought/drank the potion, put all of the points into that and then reloaded.

This is just an alternate method to get the potion of clearance if you've used it or need another one to rework your character ability points or get this achievement.

There is an herbalist hut Northeast of Oxenfurt. If you ask the herbalist about master formulae he will give you a name "Gremist"

A quest will appear "Practicum in advanced alchemy" level 24
on Skellige isles. The quest is way east of Kaer Trolde a place called Gendyneith, you can buy maps from a couple of vendors if you don't feel like searching. Apologize for my lack of posting a map.

Gremist will give you 3 fetch quests to become his student.
After you finish the quest and become his student the shop will open. Some people report a bug on this but just fast travel out the area to Velen or Novigrad and come back his shop will be open. He sells a ton of enhanced and superior bombs/potions and 5 potion of clearance.

Use a potion of clearance and reallocate a skill point to all 20 abilities in one tree. Save your game before so you can reload once you get the achievement. You can find a merchant in Novigrad who sells the potion.

See the video below.

You need at least 10 Skill points to get this trophy.
Easiest way to do this is to manually save your game and do the following:

1. Buy a "Potion of clearance" (1000 crowns) to reset your stats.
2. Spend one point in every talent under the general tree.
3. After you got your trophy just load your last save for a free trophy.

You will need to obtain all the skills in one tree. You do NOT need to upgrade each skill to max for this, just each skill needs at least one point in it. There are a total of four different trees: Combat (20 skills), Signs (20 skills), Alchemy (20 skills), and General (15 skills).

Of course the easiest way to go about obtaining this is when you reach Novigrad, there is a merchant that sells Potion of Clearance that will reset your skill points for 1,000G. He is located next to the barber by the St. Gregory's Bridge fast travel point. Save before you buy it and then purchase the potion, reset your skills, invest them all in the General tree to get the trophy and then reload your save.

The absolute simplest tree for Dendrologist is the General tree; completing the whole tree only requires 20 ability points.

You can abuse Places of Power for up to 25 bonus ability points in the base game (30 if you include Toussaint from BaW). Just using the guide for Power Overwhelming will net you 5 bonus ability points early.

I definitely recommend either waiting until your build is complete and you don't need more ability points, or just savescumming back to before you spent your points. Either way, once you've collected enough ability points, dump it into the General tree to complete the achievement.

Like most RPGS, leveling up will grant Geralt skill points (1 skill point per level). You will also gain additional skill points for each of the Places of Power in the game. All in all, there are a total of four unique skill trees: Combat (20 skills), Signs (20 skills), Alchemy (20 skills), and General (10 skills). The Combat tree deals with Geralt’s sword and crossbow attacks as well as his overall defense in combat. Similarly, the Signs tree revolves around enhancing the intensity and effects of Geralt’s five Signs. Lastly, the Alchemy tree works in the way of increasing the toxicity of potions and bombs while the General tree increases a variety of different skills unrelated to the previous trees.

It’s worth noting that some skills in each tree have up to five tiers. For the purposes of this achievement however, you will only need to grab the first tier of a skill. One of the easiest ways to snag this achievement is to wait until you're Level 10+ and then buy a Potion of Clearance from the Merchant in Novigrad closest to the St. Gregory's Bridge fast travel point. Once you have the potion, create a manual save and drink the potion; it will reset all your skill points. Now invest 10 points in the General tree and the achievement will be yours. Make sure to reload your previous save if you desire in order to continue on with your playthrough!

After beating the game, I simply bought a potion to redistribute skill points and upgraded the gold branch (it only requires 10 points)

You buy the elixir of Purification for 1000 coins and eat it. You upgrade all 20 skills and the achievement is done. After completion, you reboot.

if you are leveling up skills in the adrenaline branch, then you don’t have to buy potions; when leveling up the last skill, if you activate magic with three points of adrenaline, the achievement will be obtained automatically

The trophy is also obtained after maximizing the River of Wrath / Battle Trance skill; to do this, you need to gain 3 adrenaline points in battle and use any sign.

It is best to upgrade the branch with fencing skills and everything connected with it on high difficulties. Greater damage from the sword and the ability, for example, to reflect the arrows of annoying and painful crossbowmen will play into your hands and make your life easier. However, to move to the next level, fencing has more skills than other branches, so at low and medium difficulties, upgrade other branches and in the end the trophy is yours.

Very easy trophy! For every place of power found in the game, they give one free skill point, you can just run around and look for them! Collect 10 points, save, put everything into the penultimate skill tree (I don’t remember what it’s called, there are just 10 of them), the trophy will drop, then just Load your save and you can distribute the points as you please!
