Despite the fact that in all parts of the series there are samples of very different weapons, you can use only swords. It’s impossible to explain the Witcher’s addiction to this type of lethal weapon, but such is the reality - no matter how impressive the ax you might find, it’s useless for the character. However, despite the fact that the main weapon in the game The Witcher is a sword, its destinations are different. Silver specimens are responsible for the destruction of various evil spirits, and steel ones are designed to kill animals and people.
So steel was tempered
Let's start with the first part of the famous game. The main weapon the witcher uses is swords made of steel. Although the player is a fighter of monsters, a considerable portion of the time will also be occupied by battles with a variety of bandits. It is for them that the killing tools described below will be required.
The next set of swords is not suitable for a serious battle and it will not be difficult to get it. Products have mediocre characteristics and will not cause serious damage.
- Rusty sword.
- Temer steel sword.
- Sword of the Order of the Burning Rose.
- Temer iron sword.
Further on the list are useless and ineffective, due to insignificant damage, guns. Although they have additional characteristics, their use is not recommended due to the low base modifier. In the game The Witcher, the swords that a player finds are not always better than the ones he uses, so such garbage can only be picked up for sale.
- Runet sword from Dol Blatann.
- Ceremonial sword from Deitven.
- Elven sword from the Blue Mountains.
- The sacred sword of the Order.
- Forbidden sword. He comes closest to the concept of "efficiency." You can get it in the 3rd chapter, taking it from the murdered assassin.
The most reliable companion will be in the game "The Witcher" a sword made with his own hands. Meteor swords are crafted from three pieces of the corresponding material and differ in characteristics depending on the color of ore used.
Relics
Separately, it is worth mentioning the unique weapons from the game “The Witcher” - swords found in a single copy and having their own names.
- Runic sigil from Macaham. You can get it at the end of the quest "It will not hurt."
- Garval. It is possible to find it only in the second chapter near the tower of the magician in the swamps.
- Gwihir. Bought from the son of a blacksmith. But it is available exclusively in the fourth chapter.
- D'yaebl. When you finish the quest with a stryzh and remove the curse, you can get it from Velerad.
Silver
The best remedy against the most different evil spirits that the witcher possesses is swords made of silver. In the first part of the game there are not as many as we would like, but they fully cope with the task:
- The base "Silver Sword of the Witcher."
- Arondite. You can get it only in the 4th chapter, after completing the quest “Kill Dagon”.
- The Moon Blade is the best example of a witch’s weapon. After killing 10 special monsters, you can get it from the Chief Royal Stalker.
The Witcher 2
Starting with this part, the developers have tightly set about filling the game with content. However, most of the swords that you will meet in the game “The Witcher 2” are either completely useless or “passing”, and you will change them literally in five minutes.
- In Prolog, the player is unlikely to find anything worthwhile. The only thing that should be mentioned: if a gamer imports saves from the first part, then depending on the final equipment, you can get a number of good blades.
- The first chapter is rich in good weapons, which are acquired through crafting. Carefully inspect the list of products in Flotzam. There you can get one of the most interesting drawings. Bertold can help create the best sword in this series.
- In the second part of the story, you can find three wonderful steel swords. All of them are in the passage of the “path of the Ivert”. You will receive the unique Gwihir blade at the end of the Baltimore Nightmare quest. The "Poisoned Zerric Saber" hangs over the fireplace in Philippa's room after the siege is completed. The Kaeden Black Sword can be knocked out of the hands of one of the officers on the way to the mines.
- If you were able to get Gvikhir, then you will not need a replacement soon. You will find many good blades on store shelves. In the fourth chapter there are three registered swords, which are worth dwelling on separately. Garval is sold by a merchant in the camp of the Knights of the Burning Rose. You will find the “Forgotten Sword of the Vranians” by going through the “Rocher Way”: choose the option to release Anias, and in the Detmold safe you will find the blade you are looking for. Kerm can be obtained by crafting, and to find the drawing, you have to defeat the gargoyles and decrypt the manuscript.
Silver glitter
The Witcher 2 is also rich in silver weapons. And unlike steel counterparts, it makes sense to change them more often, since they are rich in various bonuses that must be selected for a specific style of play.
- In “Prologue” you will receive “Arondite” and “Moon Blade” when importing saves from the first part, if you had them in your inventory.
- The first chapter is very poor in a variety of weapons against evil spirits, and most of the items found will be useless, especially if you have the "Moon Blade". Attention should be paid only to the “Great Silver Witcher Sword” - you will receive its drawing when fulfilling various contracts and are unlikely to miss it.
- But in the second chapter, the player will already have plenty to choose from. The “parliamentarian” is available on both paths. You can remove it from the corpse of the killer of kings or get it after the mission “Eternal battle”. Further, the player will encounter several blades with great damage, but having less effective bonuses, so replacement is not recommended. At the end of the chapter, you can get the "Blood Sword". You need to look for him in the catacombs near Vergen.
- In the third chapter, even the worst blade will be better than anything you've seen before. But to make it, you need to buy a drawing from the merchant Bras in Ban Arda. From him you can get a drawing of the Zerikanen sword - this is the best weapon in the whole game.
The Witcher 3: The Beginning
In the third part of the Witcher game, steel swords are rubbish that you can safely sell. You can find similar weapons everywhere: in dead monsters and bandits, chests, treasures, and merchants. The same applies to silver weapons. Perform quests, carefully search locations and study the world map, then you will certainly be able to find equipment suitable for you in level.
Many players nonetheless highlight individual blades that differ in damage and effectiveness from the rest. These are the so-called set items. At the beginning of the game, in the location "White Garden" you can find a pair of swords that are marked "School of the snake." It is unlikely that you can forge a silver sword, because at this stage it is impossible to find enough silver ingots .
To get the blueprints, head north to the White Garden in the cemetery. There you will have to fight the ghost of the 7th level, after which he will escape into the crypt. Hack the door with the Aard symbol and continue the battle. After the final victory, carefully search the dungeon. Here you will find the remains of the unlucky witcher and the drawing of the silver sword of the school of the Snake. In addition, a mark on the location of the steel sword of the same school will appear on your map. There you will have to defeat the bandit camp, and in the chest you will find the desired drawing. In the game “The Witcher 3”, the swords related to sets never lie simply in the chest, so you will also have to get the materials necessary for their manufacture.
Cat School
This is a pair of interesting blades related to the set of light armor. You can find drawings for them on the map of Novigrad. The drawing of the silver sword is in the ruins of the temple in the southeast of the city. To get it, you will have to use the Aard sign to break the locked door.
The mark on the steel sword will appear on the map immediately after receiving the drawing. There you will again have to use the sign to get into the basement. In place, you will find a blade diagram and a new note with the coordinates of a crossbow drawing.
This way you can get the best low-level equipment in the game. The “Bear” and “Griffin” sets can be considered its analogues, but it is not necessary to search for them, since it is a bit more difficult to get them.
Griffin School
Items in this set specialize in reinforcing characters. You can start their search already from the seventh level, but for a character without good equipment and leveling it will be quite problematic. In the game “The Witcher 3”, swords will not only help you in hand-to-hand combat, but will also improve your knowledge of signs.
- The initial version of the kit is located in Velen. First go to the ruins of Handhold in the north of the "Tree of the Hanged." There will be harpies attacking you. After killing them, go up to the nest and stand in front of it. There will be a secret door to your left. With the help of your witcher instinct, you will find a drawing on the body of one of the soldiers. A silver sword is hidden on a lone rock lighthouse. To get the item, you have to kill a level 14 wyvern. However, the battle can be avoided if you wait until the monster flies away.
- Charts to upgrade items are much easier to find. A drawing of an improved steel sword is located in a bandit camp west of Podlesye. The outline of the silver blade is in a cave west of the Nilfgaard camp.
- A great set weapon requires a character of level 21. In the port of Urial on a hill you can find a drawing of a steel sword. The silver sword is hidden in a cave on the southern cape of the main Skellige island.
- An outline of a master steel sword can be found in the ruined village of Boxholm. You will find his "brother" in an abandoned fortress on Skelig.
Bear School
Another set from the game The Witcher. The best swords, according to most players, belong to him. They are also divided into several grades, but as a bonus they give a good increase to critical damage.
- The first swords can be collected already at level 15 or even higher. You will find a drawing of a steel sword on Skellig in a burnt village. There, in the tavern, you will find level 20 sirens and the corresponding reward. You will find the silver sword at the prompt, but first prepare for a hard battle - the gargoyles and the ice elemental of the 30th level will guard the treasured item.
- A blueprint for an improved steel sword is in Qa'er Almhuld Fort, west of the main island. The silver blade upgrade is stored in an abandoned fortress in the northeast of the main island. Both modifications are hidden on Krivoukhovy swamps.
- With master swords, everything is much simpler. One of them you will find in a bear cave in the course of the story quest, the second is on a small island near the road to Lysaya Gora.
