To force a Noonwraith to take corporeal form, Geralt must use the same techniques used for Nightwraiths. Like Nightwraiths, Noonwraiths can turn immaterial and are very difficult to wound. Noonwraiths can also manipulate the physical world to a limited degree, kicking up clouds of dust that temporarily blind and disorient their opponents. They can create mirror images of themselves that circle their victims in a kind of morbid dance, draining their victims' life energy while adding to their strength. They do not bleed and are, for the most part, immune to the effects of Witcher signs. Noonwraiths are only known to haunt rural places and usually stay near the site of their deaths. Geralt will encounter two particular Noonwraiths during the " Devil by the Well" and "The White Lady" contracts. Driven mad with pain and anger, they wander the fields searching for their unfaithful lovers or backstabbing rivals, though they will kill anyone who does not get out of their way in time. They appear on particular summer days when the sun reaches its zenith, and they resemble sun-scorched women dressed in long, white robes. Noonwraiths are spirits of young women and girls who died violent deaths before their weddings, found in Velen and White Orchard.
