The Djinn is a powerful spirit of air, one of the Elementa. One is summoned and fought at the wreck of Amos's ship in Skellige. It appears in the secondary quest The Last Wish.

Lore

A djinn is the power of the air given a mind and a character of its own. That character is usually nasty. According to legend, a djinn can grant even the most far-fetched wish, though it does so very grudgingly. An old tale, "The First Longing," describes one bursting from a pitcher as a puff of glowing red smoke.

Unusually powerful mages can capture and tame these beings. A mage who holds a djinn can draw on its energy and cast spells without calling on Power from the usual sources. Only a handful have ever managed it. Djinns fight with stubborn determination to escape such a fate. To imprison a djinn and bend it to one's will, it first has to be weakened, and that is no easy feat.

Behaviour

By bending the air itself, a djinn can call up powerful storms, hurricanes and gales. It can also throw off spells in an instant that the best human mages could never cast, even after years of preparation.

Weaknesses

Coat the silver sword with Elementa Oil. As a magic being, a djinn is weak to silver, and steel does it no harm. Dimeritium Bombs are the most useful tool here, because they hold back its magic.

Fighting a djinn is extremely hard. The closer it comes to defeat, the angrier and more dangerous it gets, so expect the hardest part of the fight at the end.

Notes

Enemy upscaling makes this fight extremely hard. Turning upscaling off before the fight makes it far more manageable.
