Cheats on "The Witcher 3 " ( " Wild Hunt ") are of interest to many gamers who began to look for them almost immediately after the release of the game itself, which in a matter of weeks became a cult. What is the reason for the use of tricks? This will be discussed in this article.
About the game
The project, released by the Polish studio CD Projekt RED, was the third part of a series of games about the witcher Geralt. The ideological inspiration is the writer Andrzej Sapkowski. It was his books that formed the basis of the Witcher trilogy.
The action takes place in a fictional world that resembles Europe during the dark Middle Ages. Geralt is a professional killer of all evil spirits, which periodically excites the minds of simple and rich people, terrorizes forests, surrounding villages and castle walls. Naturally, the services of the Witcher are not free.
But in " Wild Hunt " the hero receives the main task - to find a girl named Ciri , daughter of Emgyr Var Emreis , the ruler of the Nilfgaard Empire.
Game features
"The Witcher 3 " literally turned his head to fans of the series, gamers who prefer RPGs, and indeed fans of fantasy . In a matter of weeks, the game became a real blockbuster and was awarded high marks by the gaming media for its colorful design, unsurpassed graphics and an excellently implemented combat system.
The third part differs from the previous ones in an open world, due to which the player is not limited to any areas for travel and can move anywhere and anytime. It was for this reason that the first cheats for "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt " were invented. Many people like vast areas for research, but not all. Therefore, lovers of saving their time on moving prefer to use console commands.
Fast moving
Running or walking from one location to another, diluted with periodic skirmishes with robbers or some small evil spirits, give aesthetic pleasure only at first. For comparison: in Skyrim, this nonsense was easily compensated by the cabmen, who served as teleporters. Geralt has a loyal horse, Roach.
Therefore, for those who do not want to spend time traveling on colorful lawns, there are cheat codes associated with a quick transition from place to place:
- gotoNovigrad - Teleports Geralt to Novigrad ;
- gotoKaerMorhen - Forwards to Kaer Morhen ;
- gotoProlog - moving to the White Garden ;
- gotoSkellige - takes the hero to the Skellige Islands.
In addition, in order not to suffer from the discoveries of new locations on the map in The Witcher 3, you can register the ShowPins ( 1) and ShowAllFT ( 1) commands. The first script opens all locations, the second - all pointers.
Why do I need a cheat for money?
The Witcher 3 is a game with its simple economic system . Geralt needs finances to repair armor and weapons, upgrade them in every way, and also buy ingredients for crafting necessary items.
Something from the " loot " is useful in the game, but something is not. Therefore, some items can be sold, and the proceeds spent usefully. To derive the most viable formula for saving money in the game, you should spend money only on the missing alchemical components. But weapons and armor are already issued for completing quests from various schools.
Nevertheless, crowns are required to play screw , as well as to pay for Geralt's adventures in Novigrad brothels. Therefore, if suddenly the main character is slightly out-walking and there is not enough money in his pocket to pay, you can safely write the addmoney ( ) console command, indicating the necessary amount in brackets.
In the Witcher 3 project, cheating for money is a solution that can put an end to interest in the game process. After all, you can register any amount, immediately buy the best armor and weapons and forget about development. However, this can be done in any game. It all depends on the gamer.
Arming ourselves
As in any other game project , weapons cheats are used to get unique swords, axes or something like that, avoiding hours of searching, wandering around locations and exhausting quests in order to separate the grains from the chaff.
It is clear that getting the best blade at the beginning of the game completely destroys the balance and deprives the process of passing all the colorfulness. So in the game "The Witcher 3. Wild Hunt " cheats and codes are recommended for those who have already passed the project along and across and want to just go around the familiar corners to spend time for their pleasure.
You can add weapons to Geralt’s equipment using the additem ( ' x ' , y) command, where x is the name of the item and y is the quantity. For example, a cheat on a weapon that looks like additem ( ' Abarad ' , 1) will add an ice blade to the hero, which deals cold damage and freezes the enemy with a certain probability.
The game has a number of really worthwhile weapons that can be described as "the very best. " Having written the name in brackets of the above command, you can get:
- Arbitrator - Blade of Doom. In other words, “ Judge ” . In its characteristics, the average damage and a number of bonuses, thanks to which you can instantly destroy any enemy.
- Gwyhyr - “ Gvihir ” is a sword with a considerable number of effects: reinforcing the Irden sign, critical damage, chance to cause bleeding, as well as the probability of penetration of enemy armor.
- Torlara - “Tor Lara” - has massive damage, making it convenient to fight a crowd of enemies. A worthy contender for the role of the best blade in the game.
- Torzirael - “ Tor Zirael ” - a silver sword with high damage, adds health to Geralt and also has the likelihood of instantly killing an enemy.
This is not all the blades worthy of attention, many lists of weapons can be found on various forums dedicated to the game.
Armor
An equally important component that ensures a favorable pastime in the game is the presence of high-quality armor in the hero. After all, the less often the character dies, the better.
The best are considered the armor of several schools: Cat, Griffin, Bear or Wolf. In the game The Witcher 3, a cheat for armor is not much different from a console command for weapons. It is not required to indicate the quantity in parentheses only. That is, the command looks like additem ( ' name 0 ' ), where the number indicates the level of the item itself. The body armor, as a rule, has four levels, the remaining components of the set (gloves, boots, pants) have five levels.
In the game The Witcher 3, the list of cheat codes for the armor of the above schools is as follows (see table):
| School / Set Element | Armor | Boots | Gloves | Pants |
| Wolf | Wolf armor | Wolf boots | Wolf gloves | Wolf pants |
| Bear | Bear armor | Bear boots | Bear gloves | Bear pants |
| Griffin | Gryphon armor | Gryphon boots | Gryphon gloves | Gryphon pants |
| Cat | Lynx armor | Lynx boots | Lynx gloves | Lynx pants |
As with weapons, this list does not display all types of game armor. Each gamer chooses a suit of armor to taste and appearance, and not just indicators. Because on the thematic forums you can find more detailed lists of items from the game "The Witcher 3. Wild Hunt."
"Blood and wine"
With the release of the official DLC called The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine, very interesting and pleasant changes were introduced into the game, including the ability to repaint the armor.
As a result, console commands appeared for paint. The use of such among gamers has become quite commonplace, because few people want to spend time searching for such small components when you can quickly craft a desired item.
In the game The Witcher 3, cheats on paint are entered through additem ( ' Dye X ' ), where instead of X the desired color is indicated. Basic knowledge of the English language will save the gamer from finding teams. An example of additem ( ' Dye Red ' ) is red paint, additem ( ' Dye Yellow ' ) is yellow . The important thing is not to forget to spell out the word Dye.
There is also a small feature, which is most likely a bug: when painting the armor of the Kota school, the armor (breastplate) is not repainted.
Quick boost
In the game "The Witcher 3. Wild Hunt " cheats allow you to not only add your favorite weapons and armor to Geralt , but also in a few minutes to raise the character level to unprecedented heights. It is only necessary to register the addexp script (1000), as the main character will receive the specified amount of experience. Naturally, you can experiment with the number in brackets. The code eliminates the long hours of exhausting farm in order to increase the level.
Change in appearance
Those who have to spend a lot of time in character editing mode in various projects, in The Witcher 3 will have to be content with cheat codes for minor changes in appearance:
- replaceplayer ( ' Ciri ' ) - replaces the main character with Ciri ;
- the replaceplayer ( ' Geralt ' ) counter command returns Geralt back;
- setbeard ( 1) code allows you to grow a beard to the character;
- with shave you can shave the hero;
- seatattoo ( 1) - apply a tattoo;
- seatattoo ( 0) - remove the tattoo.
There are also two diametrically opposed commands, one of which turns on night vision (Cat code ( 1 )) , and the other turns off (Cat ( 0 ) ) .
“Stir, Roach!”
Caring developers took care of the uniform for the faithful steed of the protagonist:
- code additem ( ' Horse Bag 3') hangs a bigger bag on the horse;
- additem ( ' Horse Saddle 4') sets up a more advanced saddle;
- with additem ( ' Horse Blinder 3') you can improve the blinkers of a horse.
Completion
It’s important to understand that such “ goodies ” as a cheat on “The Witcher 3” swords or any other items are just a legacy of the project’s testing mode , which is given to gamers by developers.
In test mode, the creators work with the console, with the help of which they add various objects to check the project’s working capacity, as well as identify possible bugs in order to further eliminate them.
After all the " dances with a tambourine, " the console is locked, the game goes on sale. And only then the craftsmen release mods and patches that return to the game the console so desired by all cheaters , which is launched by pressing the ~ key.
To activate the console in the game "The Witcher 3. Wild Hunt " you need to download a special patch, and for each version of the project there is a separate one. You should install it in the root folder along the path of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt \ bin \ x64.
But instead of resorting to the use of codes, you should go through the whole game to feel the charm of the author’s idea, to appreciate the plot, to enjoy the mechanics of battle. Of course, it’s easy to register a team that will destroy the entire crowd of enemies that suddenly spilled out of an ambush in front of the witcher in some forest, or fill the hero’s pockets with colossal amounts to plant them in a brothel.
Opened with the help of a cheat in “The Witcher 3 ”, the card seems to give an instant summary of action, but the passion of gaming research is already lost.
But it’s much more interesting to make efforts to achieve everything yourself, to go through all difficulties with the hero, to feel the same way that Geralt feels. This is the very essence of the RPG genre - to play the role of a character invented by developers. " Live " his life from the start of the game to the final ending.
This process is tantamount to reading an interesting book. Only in the case of the game can you decide for yourself what the character should do: choose a difficult path or go the easy way, but then suffer from remorse.
Do not use console commands to the person who first plays the game. Indeed, in this way all interest is lost. And "The Witcher 3. Wild Hunt " is a project that certainly will not gather dust on a shelf.
