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

The Devil's Pit in Velen is one of the best Places to get this Achievement. The Bandits will respawn again if you leave the Map (Fast Travel to Skellige, Palace or White Orchard) even if you looted the Place completely.

Kill the Bandits that are carrying two-handed weapon, for some reason that won't fly as good as the ones holding only one-handed weapons go to the Place in the Screenshot below and use cn_LT to block and get them near the edge, now use the the Aard Sig to knocking them off somewhere high, helpful is Tanny Oil to regenerate Adrenalin faster and more range for the Ard sign.

The - votes wasn't me but if I had to guess I'd say they are because the solution is exactly the same as the one already posted.

I'm sorry, but I posted mine before yours, even edited mine way before you posted yours. You have a video though, so that'll help people. It's a good guide.

Thank you so much for mentioning they respawn. I got probably 8 of them and thought I missed my opportunity. Fantastic to know I can fast travel back here after leaving the map to clean this cheevo up. Total thumbs up from me

Is anyone else having trouble getting this to unlock? I have used aard to push at least 18 enemies off the spot shown in the video, yet no achievement.

Good guide btw, I can see why it should work without a hitch!

I grinded this out at Devil's Pit in Velen. It's a bandit camp and it's located south east from Hanged Man's Tree (the place where you start when you travel to Velen for the first time).

Leaving the area by fast traveling and then going back will cause the enemies to respawn. You don't have to fast travel out of the map, just make sure all enemies are dead before you leave.


The Devil's Pit is a bandit camp and a quarry, so there are a lot of walk ways up high. There is at least one enemy with a two handed weapon, so take him out first since you can't parry them. After that, find a ledge up high and use Aard to push off the remaining enemies. If you're patient, you can push 2 or more enemies off the edge at a time. Then reload your save when there are no enemies left and do it again.

Reloading save does NOT work. It wipes it clean when you reload, tested it and got to 30. Nothing.

When I fast travelled and reloaded the enemies in a cumulative play through, the achievement popped after 10.

I don't know what's going on, but when I try to do this, as soon as Aard hits someone I fall through the scenery into a grey screen and die. Anyone else encounter this?

*NOT MY VIDEO, ALL CREDIT TO Suporex TV ON YOUTUBE*

If like me, you already cleared Devils Pit and did the Netflix DLC, you won’t be able to complete this at that location.

I found this great video on YouTube about a cliff edge where two dudes seem to constantly respawn. I did have to mediate when I got there for them to first appear but after that all I did was walk away and they would come back.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ed5zwMJ_qM&t=17s

If you watch the video is shows you how to get there. The video also suggests you could get a few other achievos here such as Master Marksmen but I haven’t tried that.

Happy Aard-ing

Great solution but I'd like to add a little to it. Make sure to kill the pirates in the nearby village of Trottheim, you'll encounter them automatically when going for the 'Following the Thread' quest. If you don't, both pirates will be friendly and you won't be able to attack them!

I found Devil's Pit to be the best place to do this. Warp there and head down and to the right and there is a wooden platform. Lure enemies there and hit them once to weaken and then position them facing the right direction and blast them off them platform. I was able to get about 3 per trip so then you must warp out of Velen and then back and they will respawn. Took me 15-20 minutes but it works. Enemies with axes don't fly as far, concentrate on the ones with the billy clubs.

As with the Master Marksman achievement, the Devil's Pit near Velen is a good place to get this, although this achievement is substantially easier than the other.

The Witcher 3: Wild HuntMaster MarksmanThe Master Marksman achievement in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt worth 26 pointsKill 50 human and nonhuman opponents by striking them in the head with a crossbow bolt.


To get Humpty Dumpty try to get just one or two guys to follow you up to the top of the platform inside the pit, then use your block to maneuver one near the edge. Once he's there, blast him with Aard to knock over the ledge and (hopefully) kill him. Repeat with a few more guys. Once you've run out of convenient bandits, use the fast travel sign outside the pit to go somewhere else and immediately return to respawn all of the bandits.

A great place to earn this is in the Bandit Camp at the Devil's Pit fast travel point in Velen. There's a huge Bandit Camp here. Lure some bandits towards a ledge, preferably the one shown in the video below where you enter the camp. Block or counter their attacks to push them to the edge, then immediately use the Aard sign to knock them down the hill. Kill the enemies with two-handed weapons / axes with your sword, rather than the Aard sign. Their attacks cannot be countered and they don't usually fall off the ledge, so they are only in your way. Once all enemies are dead you fast travel to the Royal Palace of Vizima map and return to the Devil's Pit. All bandits should have respawned and you can try again. You should be able to get 4-6 kills per run.

You don't have to buy any skill upgrades to do this, but they can help a little bit:

One of the best locations to work on this achievement is in the Bandit Camp at the Devil's Pit fast travel point in Velen. As soon as you enter the camp, there are some stairs that act as a great ledge to push enemies off to their death. To do this, lure some bandits near the stairs, preferably the one shown in the video below, block their attacks as you bait them to the ledge, then cast Aard to knock them off backwards.

If you see enemies with two-handed weapons or axes, kill them with your sword since they're too strong to counter and bait. After you clear out the camp, fast travel out of the region (such as to the Royal Palace of Vizima), and return to the Devil's Pit. All the bandits will have respawned and you can continue working on this. Take note that you don't need any Aard upgrades for this achievement and you should be able to get 3-4 Aard kills per run.

The easiest way to do this is in the Devil's Pit lacquer, located just east of the hanged tree (after the end of the prologue you will be there).

The Devil's Pit is a quarry with robbers; there are two types of them; one-handed weapons and two-handed axes

Kill those with two-handed axes right away, bring the rest to the cliff, blocking blows, and throw them away with aard. If you don’t succeed with the crowd, you can kill everyone, leave one or two and throw them away, then go somewhere and rewind the day, the bandits will appear again. In the pit itself, use only blocks when rolling, even pirouettes, there is a high chance of falling yourself.

Attention!!! Do not reload your save, but travel to Vizima and back. There is no need to meditate.

The option with Skelege is the best. You don't even need to meditate there. You just walk through the bushes and two pirates appear.

Here you can also perform it on a contract, since the blows are the same and you can feel when to block. Completed it in one go without saving.

I’m currently playing version 4.0 of the game, these two pirates about whom everyone writes, now they can’t be attacked as friendly ensigns, there’s also a new quest in the devil’s pit, if you complete it, then there will be civilians there and there will be no bandits

The hint above is not correct. 2 pirates are still in their place, you can safely finish off the trophies with them. Game version 4.01

Skelige, Faroe Island, Trondheim village. Thanks for the tip SERG357. Perfect place. They threw off two of them, went to the road, they respawned, came back and threw them off again.

For those who don't see pirates appearing on Skellige, take a walk in the bushes. Two pirates will appear, one of them will be looking into the pipe. Most likely they will be friendly to you, so we go to the village of Trottheim and kill all the pirates there and complete the quest to rescue the prisoners, after which we return to the two pirates on the rocks and they are ready to chop you into pieces

Location "Devil's Pit" (it is located not far from the place where we first arrive in Velen). In it, it’s easy to throw enemies down with Aaard, after blocking their attacks (only bring down men with two-handed axes immediately, their attacks are not blocked). Enemies will respawn over time, so 2-3 runs will be enough for you.
