Va Fail, Elaine is one ofThe Witcher 3’smost significant quests. Not only will Geralt and Yennefer finally unveil Uma’s true identity, but they will also use the Trial of the Grasses to do so. It is the same process that mutates each witcher from an ordinary boy to an inhumanly skilled monster hunter.

The witchers' revulsion toward the process makes it clear just how dangerous and horrific the procedure is, as will the quest’s content. It’s hard to watch and easy to have doubts. If you are uncertain about the procedure, this guide will help you conduct the Trial.
How To Brew The Decoctions Of The Grasses
At the start of the quest, afterUgly Baby’sdrunken (or otherwise boring) escapades, Geralt wakes up in time to help Yennefer with her plan. Vesemir had tried a less invasive method to no avail, leaving no other option but touse the Trial of the Grasses.
After a brief cutscene explaining the procedure, Geralt will have togo to the nearby tableto collect the alchemical ingredients used to create the mutagens.
With the ingredients in hand,open the Alchemy tab in your menuand navigate to theQuests tabat the bottom. Brew the ingredients like any other potion to continue.
Administering The Potions In Va Fail, Elaine
As Yennefer states, itdoes not matter what order you use the potions in.Regardless of which potion you release first, Uma will suffer.
As tempting as it may be,saying “Stop, this is a bad idea"willnot change anything.It’s too late to turn back now.
The quest will continueafter all three have been dispensed.At this point the witchers have done their part, leaving the outcome of the procedure on Yennefer’s effort.
While you still have more dialogue choices to make,none of the remaining choices have an effect on the quest’s outcome.Thanks to Yennefer’s knowledge and the witchers' reluctant effort, the procedure is successful.
This quest startsThe Isle of Mists,a cutoff point for most of the game’s quests. Make sure to tie up any loose endsbefore looking for Ciri.
