In addition to banditry and robbery, such a common phenomenon as looting flourishes in Velen.


1. To the north of Zalipye, looters can be found on the bridge. But initially there are Nilfgaardians. Subsequently, the Nilfs will grapple with the Redans over the bridge, as a result - a mountain of corpses. For this to happen, it is necessary to clear the surrounding bandit camps and the abandoned village, to the northwest, where the prisoner was kept.


Chat with the marauders, they are very friendly and will tell you what happened, and they will also offer to buy a sword from a corpse (The Weeper is a medium filthy sword) for 525 crowns. You can either buy or go your own way.

2. If you get to the Old Hrychi quarry, then in the depths you will stumble upon local residents who clean the corpses. They will try to drive the witcher away, but it was not so, the alguli appear from behind. If not for Geralt, then there would be more corpses. To celebrate, the poor Kmets thank Geralt and run away.


Actually, from the place where the alguli ran out in the chest, you can find one of the drawings of the Kota school armor set.


3. In the village of Toderas, you will definitely stumble upon a gathering of marauders who decided to loot the corpses and now cannot share the stolen goods. Geralt asks what are you doing here.


You have little choice - either kill everyone, or go away and watch how the bandits kill each other. In any case, after this skirmish, a wide variety of corpse-eaters will settle in the village for a long time.

The sword is the main weapon for killing monsters. Neither magic, nor even more so crossbows and bombs, can compare with a silver or steel sword, which can easily cut through any monster. In a series of books by Andrzej Sapkowski, Geralt does not change swords often, but only when necessary. For example, when it was stolen or it broke. A blade broken at the wrong time is likely to spell death for any witcher. In the game world, everything is simpler, although the number of blades is an order of magnitude greater. So our hero must walk with the best. A good sword will be a great addition to the characteristics of the hero.
Below we have presented a list of the best steel swords in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
The witcher uses steel swords against non-magical creatures. In the game, these are only people and animals, it is to them that he inflicts full damage. It is completely useless against magical creatures. Despite the fact that there are many more varieties of magical creatures, however, a steel sword is no less important than a silver one. For example, when bandits block your way.

Steel sword from Tesham Mutna And steel sword from Hen Hydt. These are practically twin brothers, if I may say so about weapons. We find the first one in the Tesham Mutna fortress in one of the quests from Regis. From a visual point of view, the blades differ only in color. Their additional stats are mirror-like and good, except that the damage of the second one is slightly higher. Both blades are part of the vampire armor that restores health.

An equally interesting blade is the sword from the world of A Thousand Tales, which Geralt can get into in the Blood and Wine add-on. Vitis sword we find at the dead knight, near Rapunzel's tower. In addition to the unusual appearance, its characteristics are striking, adding 20% ​​to each sign. Which makes it more suitable for a combat skill set.

The golden mean of our top occupies the most the best weapon from the "Hearts of Stone" add-on. Magnificent Carabella "Iris" Olgerd von Everek himself, you can get it only if we save him from the master of mirrors. Then he will give it to us as a gift, as the most precious thing he had. Appearance resembles a huge, curved saber. She does not have additional features except that it charges in battle and deals increased damage. The only negative is that it is tied to the recommended level, but thanks to the right build, we can fix this.

There is no best among equals - this can be said about the following swords, however, each has advantages relative to each other.

Tussaint Knight's Steel Sword. He has a maximum increase in critical damage in the game - 100%, higher only with the blade of Hjalmar, which can only be obtained through the console. The maximum chance of a critical hit. 30% to the power of the "Quen" sign is even higher than the master sword from the Griffin school. It also ignores 300 armor points - this is the maximum possible indicator. And on top of that, the highest damage of all steel swords. This weapon cannot be found, only crafted, and the recipe drops randomly from any chest in Tussaint. Before you can find this recipe, you need to find three weaker analogues. Starting from the Bockler blades and up to the Toussaint ones. Only then can you receive it. Personally, I don't really like its appearance.

In the first place, of course, Belhaven Blade. It also needs to be collected from the weapon master, but this is easier to do than with the previous one. He needs a much lower level, which takes away points of direct damage. Much more useful is the strengthening of the Ard sign than the Quen. It also has weaker analogues, but they are much better than Beauclair or Toussaint. And a lot of important - appearance.

Don't forget that direct damage depends on the level of the sword.

Items in The Witcher 3 are divided into several categories and differ from each other in their characteristics, effects, difficulty of obtaining, and methods of application. Ordinary items are sold or used to obtain basic materials with the help of which, for a small fee, are able to disassemble them into their component parts to make powerful weapons and armor according to the blueprints. The best things in The Witcher 3 are relics and . The characteristics of the equipment depend on the level of Geralt, the later the item is found or created, the more powerful it will be (the rule does not apply to legendary witcher sets). The main difficulty during the passage of the game is created by the system of appearance of things: the contents of most chests are generated randomly, and it becomes problematic to find the same thing in the same place. The chance of a magical or relic item appearing depends, firstly, on the level of Geralt, secondly, on the type and location of the receptacle, and thirdly, on many small factors. The best relic equipment is most often found under reliable protection high-level opponents or hidden in treasure chests in secluded places marked on the global map with question marks (appear after viewing bulletin boards in cities, villages and towns), it can also be obtained for completing witcher orders. The debug console will help maximize the chance of the right things appearing. You should not be afraid to upset the balance, relics fall out several times during the game.

The console in The Witcher 3 is enabled by the Debug Console Enabler mod (download or from here). If, after copying files from the archive to The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt/bin/x64 folder, the game does not start and an error appears stating that the file is missing from the system msvcr120.dll, you need to update the libraries by installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable from the OS official website. To add the necessary item to the inventory, open the console with the keys [~] or , enter the command additem("item_name", 1) and press . When entering commands, it is important to respect the case of letters. To repeat the typed command, just press the up arrow.
