Wytchwoodis a cozy, story-driven game about a witch looking to finish a contract by collecting 12 souls. While wandering around the fairytale-likeindie game, players will need to catch birds and squirrels, trap possessed pumpkins, and even calm some very territorial dogs.
Lighting the Braziers in Wytchwood
In order to complete one of the first real tasks that players get, they will need to collect four items from the Forest: a shining stone, frog slime, a blue feather, and a bit of dog fur. Each of these is needed tolight one of four braziers inWytchwood’s opening chapter. In order to get the last item, players will first have to concoct a treat for the pup and place a little sleeping potion inside it.

Use Witch’s Sight in Wytchwood
To take the first step in unlocking all thefast-travel portals inWytchwoodand capturing the 12 souls, take a look at the dog with Witch’s Sight. This tool is used over and over again in the game to find out the weaknesses of different animals and monsters, allowing players to steal from them, capture them, and kill them.
Some critters require only simple traps to catch, like squirrels and birds, but others require a lot more work to get what the witch needs from them. Once players take a look at the dog through Witch’s Sight, they will earn the recipes for several new items.
Collect a Jar
First, players will need to either take a jar or create one. The easiest way is to sneak behind the dog and grab one of the two jars behind her, but players can also create one.
Create the Soporific Potion
Create the Soporific Morsel
Players can create simple traps for small animals out of twine, branches, and impeye nuts. These traps can be used forWytchwoodrats, squirrels, and birds. In order to get the recipe for the trap, players just have to use the Witch’s sight on one of these little animals. Create a trap and set it, then wait for it to catch a squirrel or a bird. This should give players an item called a Meaty Morsel. This combined with the Soporific Potion will create a Soporific Morsel which is the weakness of the dog.
The witch will need several tufts of dog hair through the10-hour playtime ofWytchwood, but one Soporific Morsel will only allow players to collect one clump of fur. In order to get more, players have to wait for the dog to wake then give it another sleeping treat or find another dog in another location to give another Soporific Morsel to.
Wytchwoodis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
