How To Get Cherry Cordial In The Witcher 3

Cherry Cordial is the most important alchemy ingredient in The Witcher 3. This is because you need it to craft White Gull and Alcohest.

Cherry Cordial is one of the many alchemy ingredients used for potion crafting in The Witcher 3. You need it to craft White Gull, Alcohest, and for Superior and Enhanced versions of several potions and decoctions. Unlike other alchemy ingredients, you cannot craft Cherry Cordial.

You have a chance to loot it from enemies and chests that are encountered randomly. However, if you are short on time, your only option is to purchase Cherry Cordial. The following guide will tell you where to get as many Cherry cordials as you want in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Locations you can buy Cherry Cordial in Witcher 3

It is important to note that not all vendors will sell Cherry Cordial in The Witcher 3. You need to find an innkeeper or the bartender inside an inn or tavern to buy some Cherry Cordial.

Every merchant will have a limited number of Cherry Cordials to sell. The item itself is pretty cheap, but you will need to fast travel to all of the innkeepers to buy all of their Cherry Cordials before waiting by meditating for them to restock their inventories.

The best location to get the most Cherry Cordial is the Svorlag tavern on the Spikeroog island in Skellige. This is the only innkeeper selling you around 14 to 15 Cherry Cordial bottles at once.

The price of Cherry Cordial is consistent across all vendors. Below are all of the locations where you can purchase Cherry Cordial in The Witcher 3.

1. White Orchard Innkeeper

The White Orchard Inn is one of the first locations you will visit in The Witcher 3. The tavern is located next to the Woesong Bridge in White Orchard and is run by Elsa. Find her inside to see her inventory.

2. Crow’s Perch merchant, Velen

There is a trader at Crow’s Perch who you are going to be passing a lot while doing the Family Matters quest. He can be found in the lower section, on your path to the Bloody Baron’s keep.

3. Downwarren merchant, Velen

There is a merchant in Downwarren who sells Cherry Cordials. The village is located southeast of Crow’s Perch and is known for its locals worshipping the Crones. Keep in mind that the merchant will disappear from the village after you complete The Whispering Hillock quest.

4. Inn at the Crossroads Innkeeper, Velen

Located northeast (just above) Crow’s Perch is the Inn at the Crossroads. Head over there when you can to get some Cherry Cordial. This is another location that you will be frequently passing by while doing errands for the Bloody Baron.
