Where to find good weapons in The Witcher 3. Add-on “Blood and Wine”

In the world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, you regularly fight against bandits and wild animals. Protect people from monsters, evil mythical creatures and various monsters. The life of a witch is interesting, but dangerous. Therefore, it is worth taking a responsible approach to the choice of weapons.

At close range main character games fights with swords. You probably know that steel blades are effective against animals and robbers, and silver blades against monsters. In this guide, we will tell you where to find and how to get the best swords for your character.

Snake school swords

At the initial stage of playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt best weapon, which you can get are the swords of the snake school. Such blades poison enemies with poison. This is effective in protracted battles. For example, in battles against heavily armed soldiers or large animals. At the beginning of the game you will be able to craft two snake school swords:

1. Silver is effective against monsters and magical creatures. The drawing for its creation is hidden in the cemetery, which is located near the mill not far from the White Garden;
2. Steel is suitable for battles against people and animals. You can find his drawing in a chest that is located in the White Garden near the burned village. But be careful, this place is guarded by robbers.

After you find the drawings, you can forge both blades from any experienced gunsmith. But for this you will need a rare ingredient - emerald dust. It can be obtained by killing ghosts or purchased from a merchant for 500 coins.

Garhwal Steel Sword

Players who played previous parts of The Witcher probably remember Garval. This blade has crushing power and is capable of setting enemies on fire. It is effective in battles against non-magical creatures. You will find Garhwal at the bottom of the river near the pier. The pier is located near the bandit camp - Wild Pit.

Moon Blade

Moonblade is a silver sword. One of the most effective weapons for combat against magical creatures. This weapon freezes enemies and can be equipped with three runes at once. Look for the moon blade at the bottom of the river in the north of the village of Zalipye.

Blade from Tir Tohair

The Blade of Tir Tohair is an effective weapon that rewards enemies with bleeding wounds. It is hidden in a chest, which is located in a flooded grotto east of the Crooked-Ear Marshes shelter. The contents of this chest change regularly. Therefore, there is a chance that you will not immediately detect the sword in it. We advise you to save the game before taking out the blade and if it is not there, load saves until you achieve the desired result.

Bear School Swords

Bear School Swords are the best blades in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. There are two of them - silver and steel. These weapons increase the rate of adrenaline recovery and speed up the leveling of the Herald. You can craft them without any problems if you find the drawings.

• For a drawing of a steel sword, go to Skellige and look for the largest island there. On this island, find a burnt tavern; a drawing is hidden in its basement;
• You will find a drawing of a silver sword on the same skeleton, in Fort Entnir. But be careful, as this place is guarded by ice monsters.

As you progress through the game, you will come across a decent amount of all kinds of bladed weapons. They all have certain characteristics and provide additional bonuses. But in The Witcher 3 the most best sword, the most powerful, according to experienced players, is the sword belonging to the witch school.

Playing as the main character, the witcher Geralt of Rivia, you will use two types of swords for combat purposes - steel and silver. A crossbow will not interfere with you during the game. Two swords are needed to hit different targets. With a steel sword you can fight the human race. You will have to use the silver sword against monsters and monsters. The crossbow serves as an additional weapon in combat with flying enemies.

After analyzing some of the properties of swords and applying them in practice, expert opinions were divided. Some believe that the Witcher 3 has the best steel sword from the Snake school. It not only deals colossal damage to the enemy, but also imposes a poisoning effect. The Witcher 3 is the best silver sword from the same school.

With three slots for rune stones and an ignition effect, he wields the Garval steel sword in the game. He too can bear the title with dignity best option swords.

Some novice players, almost approaching the final completion of the game, are faced with the problem of small damage from swords. In The Witcher 3 where to find the best sword before final battle to Kaer Morhen? We must make every effort and try to get a steel sword from Tir Tohair. It can cause extreme damage to the enemy, and at the same time apply blood flow and cause bleeding from the enemy, thereby bringing him closer life path towards the end. You can find him not far from the Crooked-Eared Marshes. Follow the path southeast to the flooded grotto, where a chest with this blade is hidden.

After all, it’s not so easy to determine the best sword in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. Each player has his own fighting style, his own specific tactics. For some it is the freezing effect of the sword, and for others it provides additional experience for the development of the hero. How many people - so many opinions. For example, take the steel and silver sword of the bear school. Not only do they give your hero a chance to level up faster, but they also have a maximum chance of inflicting critical hit.

It is also worth noting that the crossbow is not the same as the crossbow. Very practical and flexible - this is a crossbow from the cat school. It has the ability to pierce the skin and shell of any monster, and also gives you a chance to level up faster.

The ax of the Wild Hunt warrior will also be useful during the passage. Although you cannot insert runes into it, it can pierce the enemy’s strong armor with one blow.

To summarize, I would like to advise you to choose for yourself what weapon you will conquer with virtual world. Follow the call of your heart and direct hands.

The numerous adventures of the witcher Geralt, transferred from books, brought great success to the Polish studio CD Project red. In general, all three parts of the series performed quite well, but many realize that it was thanks to the third part that players were given the opportunity to understand and love magical world games. People and monsters are the main enemies of the main character, but if you consider that the main specialization of the witcher from Rivia is killing monsters, you inadvertently realize that too much has been added to the game large selection weapons. And indeed, why does a witcher need axes, axes, and even shovels...

Let's figure it out

As already mentioned, the witcher is engaged in killing monsters. However, the sword is often the main weapon for this craft. A two-handed long sword is extremely effective against any enemy, but to be honest, we must immediately make a reservation that in the third part the developers violated the main rule of all witchers - not to use long-range weapons.

Players understand perfectly well why this was added to the game, but in fairness it must be said that while long-range weapons in the form of a small crossbow can be tolerated (especially considering the need to destroy flying enemies), then there are much fewer arguments for heavy weapons. The huge ax that appears so often on some enemies doesn’t particularly stand out. Yes, this is a convenient choice for power attacks and it is quite possible that for some a witcher armed with an ax will be more impressive, but from a practical point of view there is little point here.

So the ax can immediately fly into oblivion from the future backpack. Another thing is a shovel, and if the player does not yet suspect what it is about, it is better not to read further, because we will spoil it. However, if the reader is still here, then let's remember the estate of Stone Hearts. It is there that we find an entity armed with terrible and terrible weapons.

If you ignore its external state, what immediately catches your eye is the damage and effects this weapon gives the player. And in this situation, everyone soberly realizes that in reality, not only practical significance can be attributed various types weapons, but also more aesthetic. But if everything is so wonderful and beautiful, then why wasn’t the average player given the opportunity to use a spear? Most likely, the ability to use “non-swords” in the game is just another reference to realism, which makes it possible to feel that the world around is alive...

Sets of specialized witcher armor are the most powerful artifacts in the game. It’s not easy to get them, but one way or another Geralt will discover the corresponding drawings scattered throughout the world.

Witcher School Equipment

Vanilla version of Witcher 3: Wild Hunt contains three sets of such armor and weapons belonging to the following schools:

• Kota School- light armor that provides protection from elemental damage. They also increase the power of attacks. Basic kit Requires level 17.
• Griffon School- medium armor, increases the strength of signs. Basic set - level 11.
• Bear School — heavy armor, increase the rate of adrenaline build-up. The basic set requires level 20.

All schools provide additional protection against monster damage. There are also blueprints for making crossbows for the Cat and Bear schools.

Sets of other Schools can be obtained by installing add-ons to original version games.

For example, DLC Stone Hearts of Stone adds some equipment to the game Snake Schools(requires level 40 to use). A separate free add-on: "Treasure Hunt: Items Wolf School"(Wolf School Gear), adds drawings of the corresponding school to the game. Wolf equipment can be used from level 14.

In the powerful DLC Blood & Wine you can find equipment Manticore schools, it requires level 40.

The armor of the "vanilla" and Wolf Schools can be upgraded in stages, moving from normal to "improved", then to "excellent" and finally becoming "masterful". Grandmaster level is added to the Blood and Wine DLC.

Each level of improvement requires an armorer/blacksmith of sufficient qualification. Creating workshop armor will require finding real masters in their field. But first they will ask you to complete tasks.

Characteristics of items and spoilers - where to look for drawings, I have hidden them inside articles on individual schools. If you want to find them yourself, don't follow the links :).

Rare and unique equipment

The “weak point” of the equipment of witcher schools, created according to blueprints, is that it is of a fixed level. The game contains common, rare, magical equipment and relics, which can be found in chests or knocked out of opponents. The required level for these items may vary, and the characteristics of the artifacts will depend on this.

Here's an example of a Small Club with required levels of 28 and 20.

High level weapons

The game is designed in such a way that by the final events of the main quest you will be able to wear masterpiece armor and weapons from any witcher school (one of the Schools from the game without DLC), i.e. reach level 34.

After completing the entire game, I only gained experience up to level 35. But in the game you can find recipes for creating items designed for much more high level character. Considering that experience is given mainly for completing quests, reaching the required level seems like an impossible task.

Here are some of the drawings:

Longclaw, steel sword, level 37.

Foreman, silver sword, level 37.

Harpy, silver sword, level 37.

Mountain tooth, silver sword, level 37

Gnomish Gwyhir, steel sword, level 42

Banshee, steel weapon, level 44

Dwarven blade, steel sword, level 45.

Blade from Tir Tahair, steel weapon, level 46.

I reached level 38-39 by completing the Stone Hearts DLC. At the same time, level 45-46 seems completely out of reach without installing add-ons that allow you to complete new tasks.

In the plot of all computer and literary works, a gray-haired (or milk-haired) man in full bloom does a lot of things: kills monsters of various breeds, possesses women, earns money and complains of constant sclerosis (naturally: his hair is gray!).

In principle, this is enough for fans of fantasy creations. The Witcher series of games turned out to be simply amazing. The first game was remembered for its most non-linear world at the time of its release. The second project shocked the public with its magnificent facial animation and system requirements. And the third part became popular due to the vast open areas, which are almost impossible for an ordinary gamer who pays attention primarily to the plot.

In general, there was a lot of stuff piled up in the last project. This applies to the armor and combat attributes of the protagonist. In an amazing spire The Witcher 3 weapons and armor scattered all over the world (their indicators, of course, are different), and finding the best option is quite difficult.

And no one will get caught between the cubes, and a good sword will kill any creature!

Having barely completed the training and a few initial missions, the player is free to go where his veins lead. Accordingly, at the very beginning of the journey you can find relatively good gear. To begin with, if you want to seriously start creating the best version of uniforms, you need to understand what is generally available in the virtual world.

The best equipment is associated with several existing in the vast expanses witcher schools. There are five of them in total. But getting to suitable samples of armor and weapons is initially not easy. The first version of Geralt's battle attire is obtained right in the fortress. The armor is very weak and is not at all suitable for skirmishes with serious enemies. You'll have to work hard before you get something really worthwhile.

To create and modify armor and weapons, you should get suitable drawings, find an experienced gunsmith, and only then start creating the necessary things. For example, , or can only be found after certain quests have been completed.

It is thanks to the tasks that it is easiest to find weapons and armor in The Witcher 3. Of course, due to chance and careful study of the area, you can also find the treasured equipment. But the territories are so huge that combing the area in squares is a stupid idea.

It should be taken into account that the drawings thereof may be different levels. There are four of them in total:

• basic;
• improved;
• excellent;
• excellent.

A virtuoso gunsmith will create the desired armor according to the available drawings. Also, sometimes such masters need help in finding some accidentally lost item. It is recommended to complete such quests without fail, otherwise you won’t be able to create something amazing.

There is also one wonderful set of armor that does not belong to any of the schools. His name is Witch Hunter Armor Set. You can receive a task with which you can take possession of it from the master in Vronitsy. It will be called "Master Gunsmith". The quest will reward you with new functions from the gunsmith, as well as the armor set itself. The characteristics of the garment are amazing. The clothes are ideal for high-level players. However, no matter what the character is wearing, first of all, it is advisable to rely on your own, and not on armor indicators that mitigate damage.

It is also wise to search good swords right after the start. Thus, a sword made of Garval steel (108-132 damage) rests at the bottom of an unnamed river. If we are not speaking so generally, then you need to comb the area near the Devil’s Pit bandit camp. In addition to basic damage, it sets enemies on fire.

Also popular among players is Moonblade. It is located in a sunken boat west of the bridge (which is north) if you look at the world map. You can place as many as three magic runes in it for enchantment.

And of the new contenders for the best sword, this is Olgerd von Everek's weapon from the addendum. If in last quest If you decide to stand up for Olgerd and pass the tests of Mr. Mirror, then as a reward Olgerd will give you his sword, which accumulates power during the battle and begins to glow beautifully.

Bottom line

Of course, every cool weapon It's impossible to describe in the game. Moreover, for a certain type of enemy, a certain sword is suitable, which, although it has good damage indicators, is absolutely ineffective against other enemies.

Armor and weapons in the game The Witcher 3 counted not even in tens, but in hundreds. Although, if you know how to dodge enemy attacks and select the ideal time to carry out your own strike, then all this does not play a special role.
