More recently, the game The Witcher 3 was recognized as one of the best of all time, and this decision has its own serious reasons. The fact is that this role-playing project turned out to be an incredible conclusion to the trilogy about the adventures of Geralt from Rivia - one of the few surviving Witchers. Witchers are people who have been modified in a special way with the help of a special ritual that not everyone can go through, and earlier they stood guard over humanity. But in the end, hunting began on them, and almost all of them were exterminated. Only a few remained, and most people perceive them as freaks and mutants, but at the same time they use them with pleasure as a labor force in carrying out dirty, and especially bloody things. Geralt went through a lot during the first two games of the series, and in the third part you have to go through so many things that the first two games would not contain in themselves, taken together and multiplied several times. The developers made sure that even the main plot line had about a hundred hours of gameplay - about the same amount you can add to all secondary quests, and the same amount just to explore the vast game world, interact with other characters, hunt for monsters, treasure hunts, collecting herbs for making potions and so on. And at the same time, even if you play for three hundred hours, you will not get tired of a single drop. Therefore, it is quite easy to understand why the third "The Witcher" was included in the hall of fame for computer games and was recognized as one of the best projects in history. However, this article does not provide an overview of this game, it focuses on a completely different aspect of the Witcher 3 project. Achievements - this is what interests so many gamers, regardless of the project in which they play. There are even achievement hunters - people who will do anything to get absolutely all the achievements available in the game. In the game The Witcher 3, the achievements are very diverse and numerous, so if you want to collect all of them, then you most likely will need guidance - and this material will be ideal for you.
The passage of the story campaign
As mentioned earlier, you have to spend more than a hundred hours on the storyline - and, of course, along the way you will come across achievements that you will get in any case. There is no point in writing any specific guide, because you will receive all the achievements as you complete the story assignments. They cannot be missed; without their successful completion, you cannot complete the Witcher 3 game to the end. Achievements begin with “Lilac and Gooseberry” - this achievement is issued to you when you complete the last quest in the first location and find Jennifer. That is, you need to complete all the plot tasks that you will be given in the location "White Garden", and this achievement will automatically appear in your place. In total, this section has seven achievements, each of which is given either for completing a specific task, or for completing a specific location - this means fulfilling all the tasks that will be issued to you there. In the end, everything will end with the achievement “The King is Dead” - when you defeat Eredin, the storyline of the game will be completed, and you can just safely travel the game world, complete side quests, explore those territories that you have not visited, and so on. You can simply perform tasks at a calm pace, exploring the world at the same time, or you can immediately take up the campaign, and then do what you want in the Witcher 3 game. Achievements from this section you still get in any case.
Additional quests
The game “The Witcher 3” also has hidden achievements, and they also relate to the story campaign. However, in this case, you can skip them, as they are a kind of offshoots from the plot, small additions. For example, the achievement “In full force”, although it is a storyline, that is, directly related to the storyline campaign, you are not given any guarantee that you will receive it. Why? The fact is that before the final battle with Wild Hunt and Eredin, you need to gather friends with whom you will go into battle. And here it all depends only on you - you can collect everything you can collect nine people during the Brothers in Arms quest, but if you don’t know all of them by name, then you can forget about someone. And if you do not go to the final battle in full force, you will not be able to get this achievement. There are not very many such achievements - only four, but in the case of each of them, you need to consciously make the right choice and carry out the appropriate tasks to get the result that you want. That is, you need to complete the storyline with Keira to get the achievement “Pestilence, the Witch and the Old Tower”, you must choose a king on Skelig if you want to achieve the achievement “Creator of Kings”, and you must also take part in the attempt on Radovid, if you you need the achievement “Killer of kings”. In general, now you see that in the game The Witcher 3 hidden achievements are present, and it is much more interesting to receive them than those that you will receive one way or another.
Side quests
As mentioned earlier, witches are most often used as a draft force to carry out certain orders, and these orders are almost always associated with the destruction of a monster that prevents ordinary people from doing their own thing. In the supplement “The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine”, achievements for orders appear in even greater numbers, but we will talk about additions later. In the main game, there are seven such achievements, and six of them are given to you for the execution of a specific order. For example, you get the “Klekotun” achievement when you complete the order for the scream in Velen, and you get the “Doppler Effect” when you fulfill the order for the elusive thief in Novigrad. However, the seventh achievement differs from the six previous ones - it is much more ambitious, and you will have to work very hard to get it. It is called “The Witcher Master,” and in order to get it you will need to fulfill absolutely all the orders that are in the game. Naturally, there are more than six of them - just six of them will give you achievements, but you will have to look for all the orders yourself. To do this, you need to travel around the cities, talk with people and find out from them if they can find an order for you. And if for all the passage you miss at least one, then you will not get the achievement. It is worth noting that in the supplement “The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine”, achievements increase in quantity, but they do not affect the achievement of “The Witcher Master,” since only orders from the original game are counted in it.
Combat skills
This is one of the biggest sections of achievements in the game, and here you can get many of them even when you do not purposefully try to achieve this - especially if you have installed add-ons, including The Witcher 3: Stone Hearts. These achievements are related to how exactly you fight - for example, the simplest of them involves killing five opponents in less than ten seconds. Most likely, you will receive this achievement automatically during one of the fights, so you do not have to try to add it to your collection. Also pay attention to the accomplishment “Diversification” - if you like to use one thing in battle, then you will need to consciously seek to obtain it. The fact is that its essence is that you kill three opponents in one battle in three different ways. There are four ways in the game - kill with a sword, crossbow, bomb or magic sign. So just during one battle, change three different types of weapons and kill each of them one enemy. But there are much more complex achievements that will require you, for example, to kill fifty people or humanoids from a crossbow with a headshot. The difficulty lies not only in the fact that getting into the head of the enemy is not so simple, but also in the fact that this type of weapon does not do so much damage, so you have to first attack the enemy in another way to lower his level of health, but not kill - and then commit the so-called crown to the head. If you have installed add-ons, including The Witcher 3: Stone Hearts, achievements of this kind will be easier to get, as you can better develop your character and, for example, pump more time dilation when shooting from a crossbow. This section also includes one interesting achievement. In The Witcher 3, the achievement of Hasta la Vista implies that you kill a frozen opponent with a crossbow shot, an obvious reference to the movie Terminator 2.
Character development
Since it has been said about character development with the help of increasing the content that the installation of game add-ons gives you, it is worth paying attention to those achievements that are related to the leveling of your hero. In the game “The Witcher 3”, hidden achievements of the Steam version are always very interesting to discover, but even such simple achievements can be extremely exciting to get. There are only three achievements in this group, but each of them is very interesting. “Mutant” is an achivka, for which you need to fill in all the mutagen cells. The mutagens themselves drop out of defeated strong monsters in sufficient quantities, but the fourth cell will open only closer to the end of the game, so you won’t be able to get this achievement early. As for “Munchkin”, here you need to develop your hero to level 35 - it looks impressive, but you can easily achieve this much earlier than playing all three hundred hours. Moreover, if your Geralt is below the thirtieth level during the final battle, then you are unlikely to win, so you will have to pump up to level 30 in any case, and there will be only five extra levels left. Well, the third achievement is “Dendrologist”, to get it you will need to open all the skills of one branch. As in most role-playing games, the next branch skill opens when you put the required number of development points into the previous one. That's how you can get these achievements of “Steam” - “The Witcher-3”, however, it can offer you a rather large number of achievements.
Mini games
In all the games in the series, you could notice various mini-games that diversified the process, bringing your unique charm to the project. What are fistfights in the second part! But in the third episode, you will find a sufficient number of mini-games that will amuse you, and also help to save more money. But most importantly, you will receive achievements for them. While in The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine, the secret achievements are still concentrated around the storyline or quests, you can find such wonderful achievements in the base game. For example, “Fast and the Furious” you will receive if you win all the races, “Invulnerable” is an achievement connected with the same fist fight in which you cannot suffer a single damage. Two other achievements are also associated with fist fights - to get the first you need to defeat the absolute champion Olaf, and to get the second to win all the fist fights that are prescribed to you in the story and during additional tasks. As you know, this will not be easy - just like in the case with the fulfillment of all orders, you will have to try to find absolutely everyone who wants to fight you in fist fights. But this does not end this achievement guide. The Witcher 3 is a very diverse and diverse game, so there are other achievements that will not be very easy to get ahead of you.
Gwint Game
Playing a gwint is no less legendary for this series than fist fights - this is a rather exciting and unusual card game, which will become a serious source of income for you if you are successful. You can also get some achievements if you train hard, and also spend time collecting. After all, you will play with the cards that you collect during the passage of the project. Therefore, the most difficult of all four achievements is to collect absolutely all the cards that are in the main version of the game, that is, excluding add-ons. Another interesting achievement assumes that you play gwint so well that you can win a major tournament by defeating the current champion Tybalt in the final. Well, the other two achievements are directly related to the gameplay itself - to get one of them you need to use the cards of three heroes in one round, and to get the second use only neutral cards for one round and, accordingly, win it. You can already get these achievements much easier. The Witcher 3 (PS4 or Xbox version) may have additional achievements of the console version, but for the propeller, all the achievements on all platforms are the same. Therefore, you can safely play and achieve success in the cards. Naturally, the achievements in the game “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” do not end there - after all, the issue of collecting has only been touched upon for the first time.
Exploring the world and collecting
In the game The Witcher 3, the achievements of the Steam version are very diverse, and, of course, no one had any doubts that the project with a huge open world will have such achievements that you can get if you spend a lot of time on a free trip and exploring this world. The simplest example is the study of twelve elixir recipes. You can find them either from merchants or in chests while exploring the game world. Of course, this is a fairly easy task, but there are tasks in the game and more difficult. For example, you will need to find a complete set of clothing and put it on yourself. The difficulty lies in the fact that the kit consists of a large number of elements, such as shoes, pants, belt, armor, gloves, helmet and so on. And the elements of the kit come across not as often as we would like. And given the fact that you can choose a specific direction for the development of your hero, then many elements of sets, not knowing the existence of such an achievement, you will safely sell. One of the most difficult achievements is the "Great Power" - because to get it you need to be influenced by the charms that give you places of power, and under all five at the same time. Each bonus is valid for half an hour, so if you have already found all five types, then you just have to try to make it in time. As you can see, it’s interesting to get secret achievements in the Witcher 3 game, but even for ordinary ones you sometimes have to make a lot of efforts.
Walkthrough
There are three achievements that are given to you for completing the game at various difficulty levels. If you complete the game on an easy difficulty level, you will receive the “Child-Surprise” achievement, if on average, then “Torture” will be added to this achievement, but if you choose a difficult level, you will immediately receive all three achievements, including and The Witcher on the Road. In this case, you should pay attention to the fact that achievements are given only once, so if you first completed the game at an easy level, and then a second time at an average level, then in the second passage you will receive only the “Torture” achievement. And vice versa - if you first went through the game at an intermediate level, and then decided to re-run it on an easy one, then after the first passage you will receive two achievements at once, and after the second - not one.
Additions
For the game “The Witcher 3”, two extensive additions have been released with their storylines and a huge amount of new content - they have been mentioned more than once in the article. And many gamers who played only in the basic version ask about the achievement “David and Goliath” that is absent in the Witcher 3 game. The answer to this question is simple - the fact is that this achievement is added only with the addition of "Blood and Wine." Each of the two add-ons adds several story and additional achievements to the game, as well as achievements for completing side quests and various other things that become available only when the add-on is installed. For example, in “Stone Hearts” you will need to kill three opponents with your own arrows, which could not be done in the original game, and in “Blood and Wine” you will have an opportunity that was already written about - you can freeze the enemy first, . So with the additions, the number of achievements grows, and with it the amount of pleasure you get.
