So I never got the grapeshot/beehive bomb in chapter one. didn't know to buy from cedric when first talked to him and couldn't find him again till he was dead.

In act 2 need beehive bombs for another quest, and would like for general use. Any recommendations?

See Earso, the rat-catcher of Vergen. IIRC, he lives in the human enclave.

I think if you figure out the ingredients than you get recipe for free(or at least that's how it was in TW1, I didn't try this in TW2).

You could start to experiment, but that's wasting precious materials so go to the Witcher Wiki and check out the list of ingredients.


Or just go buy the recipe.
