How to unlock the Distillation of Filth achievement in Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales - Definitive Guide

The Manticore is located in a cave at the northern end of a dirt ravine, just north-west of where you meet Eyck. Meeting Eyck isn't missable so this shouldn't be hard to find. Fuchsdh lays out a good strategy in the site walkthrough, one I will repost it here.



I posted this solution to let you know that using the forfeit/skip function on this battle WILL void this achievement. I got the achievement for recruiting Eyck but this one wouldn't pop until I went back and killed the Manticore for real.

The Manticore is found during chapter 1 and is required to be defeated to keep Eyck in your army. Please refer to the description for "For the Good Book states..." for details on where to find the side mission that has you defeat the Manticore.

Now that you have the side mission head to the area on your map to engage the Manticore, when prompted, choose to send your men into the cave to find the beast. Defeating the Manticore is rather simple. The Manticore is set out into 6 cards with the head being the most important. If you destroy a limb of the Manticore, the head will take 6 damage, so the strategy is to destroy the limbs as quickly as you can to get the head to destroy itself, thus winning the battle.

You will have use of Eyck in this battle and his card works by damaging an enemy by his power. His power increases whenever one of your other cards takes damage so you will want to play your other cards and have them take damage so that Eyck's power increases. His ability is a 'Deploy' ability and as such can only be used once when you play him, so leave him in your hand until you have his power high, then play him to deal considerable damage to the head of the Manticore. In the meantime focus your attacks on the limbs and try to get the head of the Manticore as low as you can in preparation for Eycks hopefully winning attack.
