Ambushes

Ambushes, like any encounter have two menus for them. One for the day and one for the night. Useful if you want ambushes only during the night and none during the day

First, you can control with the frequency slider how often you see ambushes. image showing the frequency slider It is a ratio of all the frequency sliders from all the encounters, so if you set 5 to one and 50 to another it means the one with 50 has 10 times the chance to appear compared to the 5 one.

Then you can control which creatures you see from ambushes image showing the ambush settings These are ratios too, you don't have to calculate the exact % but you simply need to know that 100 is ten times more than 10.

Ambushes are simple. When the encounter is spawned, creatures will always go towards Geralt and look for a fight. There is no way to escape them and you have no other choice than to kill them.
