In episode 6, a starving magical creature is dismembered and killed. Skip from 12:37 til 13:58. Or skip to 18:20 if you don't want to see it being eaten (it's head is in the background).

S1E7: Yennefer mixes herbs and gives them to the girls. The mixed herbs have a psychedelic effect.
Technically you could call some of the spells drugs as well. For example in S1E5, Yennefer has a smoking bundle of herbs that she blows towards the couple (specifically the man) that is basically viagra.

S2E2 and E3, a Witcher is transformed into a monster and uses tree limbs as arms and legs, which are cut off, regrown, and cut off. In Episode 3 the Witcher’s dead body is shown to have been flayed with no limbs, but tree roots instead.

S1E3 You could consider Geralt closing himself into the crypt as somewhat being buried alive, but I wouldn't consider it truly being buried alive.

Complete List for Season 1: (Minor Spoilers)
- In Episode 4 there are 2 scenes. When Yennefer goes through the portal with the woman and her baby, the woman vomits from shock. She retches, gets up, then about 30 second later falls over and vomits with sound and graphics. Second occurrence is near the end of the episode. Cirilla’s mother vomits directly after the wedding ceremony. Only lasts a few seconds, mute and look away for about 10-15 secs.
- In Episode 5’s opening sequence, Mousesack vomits (sound & graphics) when confronted by the Nilfgaard. Vomit is in his beard for the rest of the scene until the title screen shows. I really recommend skipping it. If you do, here is a brief summary of the first 5-7 minutes: (MAJOR SPOILERS) **The head of the Nilfgaard drains Mousesack of his powers, kills him, and has a shapeshifter take his place. The Mousesack you see after the title sequence is a Nilfgaardian shapeshifter. **(END SPOILER) While this is not technically vomit, the bard does cough up blood a few times in this ep as well. It’s easy to see coming and averting your eyes for 5 seconds or so should be fine.
- Final scene is in the last episode (Ep 8), right as the battle against the Nilfgaard begins. Tissaia orders Triss to execute her attack, which releases a crop of poisonous mushrooms. All of the men die puking and choking. Graphics w/ noises. Lasts around 30 seconds.

Yennefer is obsessed with being "ugly." She is later "cured" by magically changing her appearance to "beautiful." She believes changing her looks makes her a better, more powerful person and will fix everything.

Not autism, no, but I feel it's worth mentioning that Yennefer was born with a hunchback, she is treated like she's "disfigured" due to the hump and her jaw being unsymmetrical, it seems to also be assumed that she is dumb or slow. during the time period, people that are different like a "defect" or "disability" are considered lesser people, disgusting and sold as slaves. Obviously, a hunchback isn't remotely like autism but the abilest bigotry is there.

**spoilers** in season 2 (beginning in episode 4, though the hatred of elves is throughout all of Season 1 + 2) there are scenes of elves being rounded up to be killed, as well as graffiti depicting elves as pigs (similar to depictions of Jews as vermin, etc.), and a general deep hatred of elves by several kingdoms. while not antisemitic in nature, it calls to similarities in how Jews were treated in WWII. it could definitely be triggering to anyone Jewish (as it was for me)

In episode one a sexual assault is mentioned, in episode two an assault occurs, and in episode five there is an orgy incited by Yennifer's magic and when the spell ends it is clear that none of the people involved consented to be part of the orgy and are horrified.
