The Witcher 3 armor at the beginning of the game. Ophir armor

27.02.2024

A lot of interesting content was added to The Witcher 3 with the release of the Blood and Wine add-on: a huge location made from scratch with its own inimitable flavor and atmosphere, new and well-forgotten old monsters, unfamiliar characters previously encountered in books and, of course, new sets of armor and weapons - witcher, knight and even vampire. Today we will talk about the last two types of combat equipment for our fencing master. Let's help Geralt make a big deal and decorate the main hall of Corvo Bianco with truly unique pieces of armor and blades.

GERALT OF RIVIA/RAVIX OF CHERTOROG SET

Personalized knight's armor, a crossbow, a sword, a saddle and even a shield will go to our hero if he does not refuse Guillaume de Lonfal's request and agrees to take part in the Great Knight's Tournament instead. In other words, to get them we will have to complete an additional quest "Song of a Knight's Heart", and not just anyhow, but with “100% synchronization” (may the haters of the Assassin series forgive me this metaphor). Depending on the name under which the witcher signs up for the tournament, he will receive a set of either Geralt of Rivia, or Ravixa of Chertorog. Both sets are completely identical in their characteristics and differ only in the name and the heraldic symbols applied to them.

1. Personalized armor, supplemented gloves, boots and pants of a Toussaint knight, and name shield with coat of arms the witcher will receive it automatically after visiting the scribe’s tent and completing all the necessary formalities. Whether to perform at the tournament in them or to change into the usual witcher clothes is up to you, but in any case, all the issued elements of tournament equipment will be yours from now on and forever.

Guide to finding unique sets of NON-witcher armor and weapons Name shield, unlike armor, is a purely decorative accessory (and after receiving it ends up in the department Backpack For others items), but don’t rush to throw it away. It will look good on the wall of the main hall of Corvo Bianco or in Geralt’s bedroom.

2. Personalized crossbow(attack power +300%) will go to Geralt only if he wins shooting competition. He will have to hit nine targets faster than the enemy.

The Witcher will need to overcome the track in a certain time. The initially allotted time is clearly not enough even to overcome a small part of the route, but it can and should be increased by knocking down with a sword straw dolls and striking with a crossbow targets located along the route.

For knocked down dolls you will be given O a greater increase in time than for well-aimed shots, but try not to neglect either one or the other. Needless to say, a pumped-up crossbow skill Lightning Reflexes will be useful to our hero in this competition.

Addition "Blood and Wine". Guide to finding unique sets of NON-witcher armor and weapons

Both prize saddles are absolutely identical in their characteristics and differ only in the name, the color of the blanket and the coat of arms on the back.

4. Named sword will be granted to our hero only if he not only wins all three tournament competitions - shooting, horse racing and team sword fighting, but also defeats the winner of last year's tournament - the knight Gregoire de Gorgon. The swords of Geralt of Rivia and Ravix of Chertorog are absolutely identical in their characteristics and differ only in the name and the heraldic sign on the hilt.

Addition "Blood and Wine". Guide to finding unique sets of NON-witcher armor and weapons

In a sword fight you can use potions, food and oils, but only on the condition that they were placed in active slots and applied to the blade in advance, i.e. BEFORE talking with Guillaume about Vivienne’s curse in Geralt’s tent. During a fight (both team and duel), the game will not allow you to get into Inventory. She will not allow you to use the Signs either. Select potions based on your build and playing style, but only oils will do Hanged Man's Poison. Perhaps having one extra skill point is worth unlocking and equipping the skill Gourmand(branch of additional skills), allowing you to restore health within 20 minutes after eating. In this case, do not forget to place some kind of food in at least one of the four active slots (advice from Red_Starreader).

During team battle try not to let yourself be surrounded - a few missed hits and you will lose. Don't focus on one opponent. Your teammates are weaker than the fighters on the opposing team, and if you don’t help them from the very beginning, you’ll quickly find yourself in a one-versus-five situation. Use the entire arena, try to attack from behind those who are busy fighting with one of your partners. Do not try to call the enemy and do not stand in one place for a long time. When Geralt approaches, enemies will automatically switch from other bots to him. Use potions sparingly. Before the fight with Gregoire, you will not have the opportunity to meditate and replenish their supply.

Addition "Blood and Wine". Guide to finding unique sets of NON-witcher armor and weapons

IN duel With Gregoire, I strongly advise against trying to parry his powerful blows with a sword. It is much more effective to duck under his arm when he begins to swing, and then strike several times in the side and/or from the back. Then move aside, wait for a new attack from the ex-champion and repeat the described maneuver again. Periodically, Gregoire swings his sword with such force that the blade sticks into the ground, and it takes the thug some time to remove it. At such moments, he is especially vulnerable - don’t miss your chance to uncontrollably throw extra boos at him.

In addition to the tournament trophies, Geralt will also receive winner's laurel wreath. By the way, you can put it on your head if you wish - just place the wreath in one of the slots pocket V Equipment. It's of no use, but it's nice. Still, winning the Big Tournament is not a pound of raisins.

TESHAM MUTNA SET

This set vampire equipment Geralt will find in the dungeons of the castle Tesham Mutna(southeast of Beauclair), where he will certainly visit in the company of his old friend during the main story quest "Echo". The set includes a full set of armor, a steel sword and a mask.

So, together with a close friend we go to Tesham Mutna. He will open the entrance to the dungeons for us, and while we go down, he will tell the story of this creepy and mysterious place.

SWORDS VITIS AND GESHEFT

Get hold of war souvenirs from Land of a Thousand Tales Geralt will be able to only if, as part of the main quest “The Long Night”, he decides to find Sianna, and not turn to the Hidden One for assistance. There is no other way to get to the magical land of illusions other than during the main story quest "A long time ago...", will not be. In general, don’t miss the moment and have a blast there. But I beg you, be careful and try not to crush Thumbelina.

1. south of Dolgovlaski towers(i.e. Rapunzel), on the shore of a small lake (or puddle? I don’t know what is better to call this body of water) Geralt and Syanna will stumble upon knight errant corpse who wandered into a fairy tale and stayed here forever. We remove from a dead man armor- armor, pants, boots and gloves. Lying next to him steel sword Vitis– we just pick him up.

Addition "Blood and Wine". Guide to finding unique sets of NON-witcher armor and weapons

Note. According to the developers, the path to the body of the knight should be shown to our heroes by will-o'-the-wisp. Actually, there is a light in the game - it hangs over a puddle, to the left of the path to the tower - and it is quite capable of fulfilling its function. However, in practice it turned out that the chance of accidentally stumbling upon the corpse itself is much higher than the chance of finding a guiding firefly. Here's a case.

2. Chance to get silver sword Gesheft will appear to Geralt after he defeats Giant from behind the Clouds and, if it is his will, a romantic scene with Syanna. Stepping onto the bridge of the sky-high castle, the witcher will pay attention to will-o'-the-wisp. In front of the castle gates, the light will flicker to the left, over the bridge railing. Follow him.

One jump and the witcher will end up under the bridge. Now he needs to get into the cave on the other side of the castle moat.

Addition "Blood and Wine". Guide to finding unique sets of NON-witcher armor and weapons

In the cave you will find a sword stuck into an extinguished fire. That's what it is Gesheft. Light a fire - the hero will kneel and the game will automatically save. After that, you can pick up the blade and smile at the funny Easter egg on “Dark Souls”.

Anyone can add the armor set of the Toussaint knight (and not only him) Toussaint crossbow, designed for the hero level 31+. There are two places on the territory of the principality where you can get hold of them: the post of the princely guard in Beauclair and the ruins of Gallion Castle.

SET OF HEN HEIDT

Add another set to your collection vampire armor Geralt can if, as part of the main quest "Long Night" he will firmly declare his decision to seek assistance from Hidden, will complete Oriana's task "Call of blood" and will receive from her magic key. Without this key, it is impossible to get into the cave where the main vampire godfather of Toussaint is holed up and where the armor and sword from Hen Haydt are kept. And if you want to own this complete set until the pig squeals, know: you can do it only as part of the quest "Between Worlds".

1. Gloves and steel sword. A long tunnel leading down from the entrance will lead Geralt to a fork. The corridor going forward and to the left is flooded, and an ominous hissing and groaning can be heard from the passage on the right. Since we are interested in gear, we take in more air into our lungs and dive.

There will be another fork under the water, and again you need to choose the left tunnel.

As soon as the stone arch above your head gives way to a free water surface, we float up, turn around and notice a chest. Congratulations, the first two items from Hen Haydt have been found. All that remains is to get out of the water and pick them up.

Addition "Blood and Wine". Guide to finding unique sets of NON-witcher armor and weapons

Having obtained the blade and gloves, you can go with peace of mind to meet the Hidden One, if you came here as part of the “Between Worlds” quest. We will look for the remaining items of the set after the witcher is thrown into strange catacombs, not subject to the laws of physics familiar from school.

2. Mask and pants. So, with the light hand of the Hidden Geralt, he was carried into huge cave, Where a stream flows across the ceiling, and the waterfall turned out to be a waterfall due to the unnatural direction of the water flow. On the opposite side of the cave from the miracle waterfall there is an entrance to a tunnel. We need him (in fact, Geralt is also there for the quest).

Addition "Blood and Wine". Guide to finding unique sets of NON-witcher armor and weapons

In just a couple of steps there will be a fork. The quest should go straight, but we are looking for armor, so we should go left.

In general, after discovering the megascope of the would-be magician, we follow his steps a little, and then watch a short video. When we get back control of the hero, we only have to go a couple of steps to the coveted chest with shoes and armor.

SILVER SWORD ARONDITE

Yes, yes, we are talking about the very sword that Geralt once already received from the hands of the Lady of the Lake near the village of Darkwater. Gods, how long ago it was! So much water has passed under the bridge since then. In the whirlpool of events that befell him, the witcher was unable to save his expensive gift, but now he has a chance to regain his unique blade. This will happen as part of the quest "Paths of Destination", which our hero will receive by taking note "Challenge to the Trials of Virtue" from the notice board to main market square Beauclair. Another way to unlock the quest with Arondite is to overhear a conversation between a certain horseman Bors and Percival on the tournament fields (in this case, the note from the notice board in the city will disappear).

Well, our witcher got into trouble. It’s not a shame to wear such unique armor and weapons, even to display them in the main hall of Corvo Bianco. It may not be witcher equipment, but it is also worth a lot. And now that Geralt has his own home, he can afford to become a collector - lead the measured life of a winemaker, admire memorabilia and remember past adventures. By the way, how complete is your witcher’s weapons and armor collection? If suddenly some items from witcher and non-witcher sets have eluded you, we are ready to help you find them. Adrian_CH.

The main occupation of witchers is killing monsters. A careful approach to the choice of weapons and armor helps preserve life and health, and avoid injuries and injuries in deadly battles. In total, one incomplete and three complete sets of items from different Witcher Schools are available in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: Snakes- only steel and silver swords, Kota- weapons and light armor, Griffin- weapons and medium armor, Bear- weapons and heavy armor. The downloadable add-ons “Witcher Antiquities: Equipment of the School of the Wolf” and “Blood and Wine” add two more sets of medium armor to the game and. The armor differs from each other in appearance, requirements for Geralt's level of development, characteristics, speed of energy and adrenaline recovery in battle. All basic unique sets of weapons and armor, except for the Snake School, have three levels of improvement, available in the Blood and Wine add-on. At each subsequent level of improvement, the developments of the previous levels are used: at the beginning, gunsmiths and armorers create a standard kit according to the drawings, then an improved and excellent one, and at the very end a master kit. It is impossible to immediately forge the best and most powerful set. You should choose sets based on Geralt’s skills and playing style, and not relying only on the characteristics of things. The Cat School kit is ideal for a fast fighting style, and the Bear School kit for a strong fighting style.

To make weapons and armor, you need and, which can be found in monster nests, bought from merchants, or received as a reward during the completion of main and side quests. If there is a shortage of materials, you can disassemble any items from your inventory into their component parts with the help of blacksmiths, and then use the resulting components in your work. Not every artisan will be able to create the best things: beginners and apprentices are limited to the first two levels of improvements, and only masters have access to all levels. There are only two blacksmiths with masterful skills in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: elf Hattori(gunsmith) - makes dumplings in his own shop on the market square in Novigrad, having closed the forge due to unfair competition, and dwarf Fergus(armourer) - works, shedding sweat, for the Bloody Baron in the Vronitsa castle in the central part of Velen. After completing the personal quests "Swords and Dumplings" and "Armor Master", they will be ready to get to work and make better things. Great master Lazarus Lafargue, working in the city forge of Beauclair in the Kingdom of Toussaint, is capable of making any armor and swords, including grandmaster ones, but he is only available in the Blood and Wine add-on. Quests to find unique sets appear in the journal after finding clues - signs, diaries, notes or pieces of armor, as well as after using treasure maps. After purchasing them from blacksmiths and merchants, markers appear on the global map indicating the locations of caches.

Improved, Excellent, and Master versions of blueprints are stored separately from regular blueprints and also require searching. All found drawings are automatically added to the “Craft” tab ([O] key) in the inventory and are available for use in dialogue with blacksmiths. Constant problems when collecting blueprints will be caused by high-level enemies guarding chests with goods. If Geralt's level of development and the damage dealt are low, you should start pumping and upgrading things, which will allow you to win.

Introduction

With the addition “Blood and Wine,” the level of opponents has noticeably increased; in contrast, the developers added new sets of witcher armor and swords to the game - grandmaster (aka great/grandmaster). The characteristics of these sets are described on the pages dedicated to each Witcher School separately. This page also provides a guide to searching and discovering all grandmaster sets (all of them are located in Toussaint).

How to find a Grandmaster blacksmith

First of all, you need to find the blacksmith Lafargue, who is located next to the Nilfgaardian embassy in Beauclair. After talking with him, you will learn about the lost witcher drawings of armor and swords of the highest level. The same blacksmith will tell you about the armor of the Manticore School.

After talking with him, you can start looking for the first drawings. After your return, Lafargue will teach you the craft of forging armor and swords according to grandmaster drawings for a symbolic sum.

════Equipment of the Kota school════

The Cat School equipment is high-class equipment, designed to protect against the elements and increase the damage of blades and the Aard Sign.

Basic equipment can be found in Velen and Novigrad, while master level equipment can be found in Skellige.

Improved Steel Sword of the Cat School
The diagram for the improved steel sword is in a chest in the cave. You need to reach the stairs, go up a little and turn around - the chest will be in front of you.

════Snake school equipment════

The equipment of the School of the Snake was added later than the sets of all other Schools, and therefore has some significant differences in the method of searching for patterns and characteristics. There is only one gradation for each of the elements of “snake” weapons and armor instead of the usual four, but the set is designed for a character as much as level 40. Be careful: if you miss the moment at which you can get any of the elements of the set, you will never get it in the current game.

In the original game there were two drawings for very weak swords of the Snake School of the 2nd level, the new ones are called “Poisoned steel sword of the Snake School” and “Poisoned silver sword of the Snake School” and are not related to the old ones.

════Equipment of the "Wolf" school════

Wolf School equipment was added in the Hearts of Stone add-on. The armor falls into the medium armor category.

The total bonuses cover a wide range of characteristics and make this set very versatile for a wide variety of classes.

═══Gryphon school equipment═══

In the first versions of the game, the equipment of the Griffin School belonged to the “second tier” equipment and was designed for the early stage of the game; Now, later versions of the equipment of all Schools have become adjusted to each other in terms of characteristics, so you can wear the Griffin set throughout the entire game.

The equipment is perfect for magicians, since each element of weapon and armor gives bonuses to the power of the Signs. The list of weapons of the Griffin School does not include a crossbow.

Steel swords

═══Bear School Equipment═══

Equipment from the School of the Bear gives the wearer bonuses associated primarily with the accelerated receipt of adrenaline. The armor of this set is of the heavy type.

The entire basic set is located on the island of Skellige, and the guidelines in the description of the article are given mainly in relation to Kaer Trold - the capital of the island conglomerate.

Silver swords

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

The 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. The basic set requires level 17.
Griffon School- medium armor, increases the strength of signs. Basic set - level 11.
Bear School- heavy armor, increases the speed of adrenaline gain. 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 the original version of the game.

For example, the Hearts of Stone DLC adds some equipment to the game Snake Schools(requires level 40 to use). And 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 a much higher character level. Considering that experience is given mainly for completing quests, reaching the required level seems like an impossible task.

Here are some of the drawings:

Long claw, 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.

The gameplay includes many aspects, and finding good ammunition is one of them. This article will help you figure out which armor is best to choose in The Witcher 3.

Since witcher armor is considered the most useful, their location and craftsmen who can improve them will be presented below.

One of the good armor in The Witcher 3 is considered to be the armor of the Kota school. You should start your search from Novigrad, or more precisely, from the northwestern side of the city. From there you can see a barely noticeable path leading into the cave. It is hidden by illusion, so it is worth getting Keira's gift. After the illusion is dispelled, you must fight a level 16 golem.

Next, sticking to the right side, you need to use the Aard sign and, having reached the end, pick up the receipt for the golem. You should return along the left tunnel, where the main character will find a riddle in the form of statues around the site. The witcher's task is to turn the stone sculptures towards the platform, after which it will move apart, revealing the water. After this, you need to dive into the water and prepare a crossbow, as you will have to fight off the drowned people. When the enemy is finished, you can go down to the very bottom, where the key lies, and pick it up. Then you need to return to the main hall and open the locked door with the key. Behind her will be a disfigured witcher, after fighting him, you can pick up the armor.

The crossbow of this school can be found on the island, which is located opposite the western shore of Velen. Having discovered a ship on the island, you need to examine it, and then pick up a drawing of a crossbow and notes on the location of the rest of the set.

To find the silver sword, you need to go east of Novigrad, where the ruins are located. Opposite them there is a temple, in the center of which there is a staircase leading to the dungeon. Having stumbled upon an obstacle, you need to use the Aard sign and pick up the drawing of the sword.

As for the steel sword, the search takes place in Drahim Castle, where, after breaking the wall, you need to go down the stairs and pick up the desired drawing.

This was the basic set of good cat armor in The Witcher 3.

In Velen there is a Hanged Tree, from which you need to proceed north to the nearest ruins. At the top there will be a harpy nest and a hidden passage - this is where the drawing of the steel sword is located.

The search for a drawing of a silver sword begins from the lighthouse, which is located in the northwest of Velen. Next, you need to swim to the place of power indicating the correct passage. Having dived, you can swim up to the lighthouse territory. On its outer side there will be a wheel that activates a bridge, where you can fight the monster and pick up the drawing of the sword.

The remaining pieces of good armor in The Witcher 3 from the Griffin school are located in the Dragon Hunter's Grotto. The journey to the indicated place begins from Donvarren, from where the player must go to a cave inhabited by ghosts. Having gone to the very end of the tunnel, the main character uses Aard and, with the help of the witcher’s instincts, finds a chest with the necessary drawings.

The bear set will help you figure out which armor is the best in The Witcher 3, since it is the heaviest and highest level. To start searching for him, you need to get to the story mission “Destination: Skellige”.

In the south of the starting island there are ruins where the drawing of the steel sword of the Bear School is located. To pick it up, the player will have to fight sirens and ghosts.

Drawings for a silver sword can be found in the north of the same island where ice elementals with gargoyles live. Having overcome them, you need to go to the door that is on the right side, and behind it is a drawing.

There is a cave to the south of the main island's fast crossing. There at the end of the tunnel there is a drawing of a crossbow.

The armor and remaining parts are located in the Fort, on the territory of the village, which is located on the northeastern island. To the left of the fort there are stones along which you can reach the fortress. Inside it, you need to turn left and follow the stairs, where you will have to activate the lever. After this, a fight with a ghost will be available, and after it you can proceed to the passage that is in one of the chambers. When the player reaches a fork, he will need to turn right, after which the blueprints can be found.

Following the canon, many players are looking for the Wolf school set. When it comes to the question of which witcher armor is best in The Witcher 3, many are inclined to believe that the canonical armor will come in handy.

To begin with, you should purchase maps with tags to find equipment. The first cards will be from the gunsmith Hattori, which gives the task “Swords and Dumplings” in Novigrad. The next card will be from a blacksmith working in the village of Lindenvale. Another clue is sold from the gunsmith in Novigrad, and from the gunsmith in Kaer Trolde you can get the penultimate element. On Skellie, in Caer Muir, there is a blacksmith who owns the last card.

The only disadvantage of obtaining this armor is that the entire set is located on the territory of Kaer Morhen. That is, you can get to this location only in two ways - according to the plot and using console movement.

This armor appeared only with the latest story addition. The best armor in The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine is the grandmaster equipment of the Manticore school. The search will help you implement the tips of the blacksmith in Toussaint.

To begin with, you should know that the level of this armor is 40, so it’s worth leveling up before you start playing through the add-on and searching for the armor.

The Manticore Steel Sword is in the ruins near the destroyed tower. To get it, you will need to climb the walls and move towards the tower itself. After this, you need to jump to the floor and look around with your witcher senses activated.

The armor breastplate of this school will be located at the end of the indicated cave. On the wall with notes there is Mertin's prayer - this is what the blacksmith will need to create the bib.

The blacksmith gives the next mark to search for pants from the Manticore school, which are located in the indicated temple. Having broken through the wall opposite the entrance, you can see a box on the table in which the diagrams lie.

The search for the silver sword begins in a cave with poisonous fumes. Having reached them, the player sees rubble, which is successfully eliminated by Aard, and then a drawing can be found in the box next to the corpse.

The blacksmith's last clue concerns the bracers that lie under the bridge, at the bottom of the reservoir. The diagram is in the bag.

Possible nuances

Sometimes, to find a particular piece of equipment, you may need a plot item or opening a location that is currently inaccessible. To do this, you should carefully study the clues or go through part of the plot.

As for blacksmiths, they are able to improve equipment only according to their skill level. Which armor is the best in The Witcher 3 is up to the players to decide, because each type of armor has its own properties and features.
