The Witcher 3 legendary equipment of the bear school. Basic kit

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. Total in The Witcher 3: wild Hunt» one incomplete and three complete sets of things from different witcher Schools are available: 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. Armor differs from each other appearance, requirements for Geralt’s level of development, characteristics, rate 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.

Location of blueprints for making weapons and heavy armor of the Bear School in The Witcher 3:

The drawings are collected during the quest “Witcher Antiquities: Equipment of the Bear School.” To start the quest, explore the abandoned fort on the hill at Ingvar's Fang north of Uriall's Landing on the island of An Skellig, located north of the main island of Ard Skellig. We move to the island using fast travel or by boat. We run along the path to the boulders blocking the road, climb the stones on the right onto the hill, return to the path, jump over the first landslide, climb the hill, and from there back to the path (you can also use a detour along the shore). From the main locked room inside the fort we turn left, go down the spiral staircase to the cells, pull the lever on the wall, jump into the gap in the floor in one of the cells, through the dungeons we get to the main hall, at the entrance we break the stones with the Aard Sign, from the chest nearby with the chair we take away the drawings of the armor of the School of the Bear, the Song of the Witcher Gerda and the Book of the Court Chronicler, after reading which two new markers will appear on the map - the Ethnir Fortress in the northern part of the main island of Ard Skellig and the Cave of the Sirens on the island of Spikeroog, to the west of the main island. We deal with the gargoyles and the level 30 ice elemental in the Etnir fortress, in the side room from the remains of a person we select a drawing, a Hound leaf for the witcher Gerd and a Letter from the knight Halimir, from which we learn about the location of the Ruins of an Inn on the southern coast of the main island of Ard Skellig. We clear the basements in the ruins of the inn from ghosts, and take the drawing and the innkeeper’s note from the chest in the back room. We get on the boat at the pier, using a quick passage we get to the island of Spikeroog. We go to the cave on the southwestern coast, behind the old watchtower. We clear the path from the drowners, we reach the hall with the idol of Melusine, the mad and formidable mistress of the depths, we turn into the passage with water on the left side of the idol, at the end of the balcony we find the remains of a man with a drawing and a Letter to Ingeborg Kalebsdottir.

Some of the best equipment in The Witcher is the Bear School armor and weapons. There are seven parts in total: a breastplate, boots, gloves, pants, a crossbow and traditionally two swords (steel and silver).

Characteristics and required level

It is worth noting that the equipment of the Bear School refers to heavy weapons. Only characters level 20 and above can use it. By the way, this is the level that is recommended to start searching for drawings.

Where to get maps to find drawings

All blueprint cards are in one place, no need to search for them. They are kept by an armor maker in the fortress of Kaer Trolde, located on the Skellige archipelago, and are called the “Ibrahim Savi Maps”.

All drawings are located relatively close to each other, on Skellige. Therefore, you can find them quickly, although you will have to swim around the islands a lot.

Where to find the blueprint for the Bear School steel sword

Your path lies to the south, where you will find an abandoned village. First of all, go to the tavern (location “Tavern Ruins”), where sirens will be waiting for you. Deal with them and look for a littered basement. The entrance can be easily cleared using Aard. In the basement you will find a chest with the desired sword and a hint where to look for its silver counterpart. The chest is guarded by ghosts, so prepare for the meeting in advance.

By the way, after killing the sirens and ghosts, the abandoned village will come to life, and you can go there for trade and recreation.

Where to find the blueprint for the Bear School silver sword

A witcher's silver sword is the best comrade in battle with evil spirits, so you cannot do without it. To find the blueprint for the silver sword of the School of the Bear, head to the main island of the archipelago, to the ruins of the Etnir fortress. It’s easier to find the fortress if you go east from the Kaer Trolde location.

The ruins of the fortress have very serious security - an ice golem and several stone gargoyles, all of level thirty. So be careful and prepare carefully for the battle. The reward will be a diagram that is located on the right side of the tower.

Where to find the blueprint for the Bear School crossbow

Travel to the northwestern island, to a village called Svorlag. You need to get to the Sirens' Cave, where, as you can guess, a lot of these monsters live.

Stay in the cave right side, go to the very end, where you will find the remains of a knight. From them you need to pick up a drawing of a heavy crossbow, which will be very useful to you in exterminating monsters such as sirens.

Where to find blueprints for all parts of the Bear School armor

If scrolls with weapon drawings are scattered throughout the archipelago, then the diagrams of all parts of the armor are in one location, which greatly simplifies their search.

You need to sail to the northeastern island of Skellige, which is called An Skellige, and get to the ruins of Tirschach Castle.

In the ruins, keep to the right, then you will quickly find the entrance to the castle. When you go inside, immediately turn left. To begin with, you will have to go down to the very bottom, and then go up. When a grate appears in front of you, unlock it using the special lever.

The chest with the drawings is in the throne room, located behind the first door on the left side. Also in the chest is a clue to the location of the steel sword. But if you have already found it, you won't need it.

So that you don't get bored just wandering through the ruins, caring developers have placed ghosts at strategic points. But they do not pose any particular danger, but are more annoying.

All basic drawings have been found! Subsequently, the set can be improved so that it can last until the end of the game. To do this, you just need to do the same thing as before, that is, find suitable drawings.

There are four improvements in total, the last one requires not only circuits, but also a special master. Also be prepared to search for rare tools and components needed to create this kit.

In the game The Witcher 3 there are three types of armor with different characteristics and appearance. The most durable and heaviest armor is the armor of the bear school, which is quite difficult to find. In this article we will tell you where to find the Witcher 3 bear school armor. Before you start your search, you must have at least a hero level of 10, or better yet 20. After all, you will have to face opponents of level 20, who are not so easy to kill. You should also stock up on money, about 1000 coins will be enough.

To find the armor you need to take on a quest called “Destination: Skellige”, which will take you to the island of Skellige. It is worth noting that you will not be able to find all the armor at once; you will have to collect the diagrams separately, so get ready for long and difficult journeys across the map.

Searching for steel sword diagram

You cannot immediately receive the quest to find armor; for this you must go to the southern part of the main island and find an empty village there. While exploring the ruins, you will encounter level 20 sirens. Use your crossbow to shoot at the sirens and when they sit on the ground, attack them with your sword. After destroying the sirens, you will receive respect from the villagers who have returned to the village, and will also have access to the local herbalist. You can find a diagram of a steel sword in the littered basement of the inn. You will also receive a hint about the location of the silver sword diagram.

Search for Silver Sword Diagram

You can find the diagram in the north of the island in Fort Etnir. Before entering the fort, drink a potion to increase your skills, because you will have to fight an ice elemental and a couple of gargoyles. After destroying the enemies, go to the right side of the fort, there you can find a door, behind which there will be a diagram and a hint for finding a crossbow.

Crossbow Diagram Search

To find the diagram, go to the cave in the northwestern part of the island. Entering the cave, you will be attacked by several sirens and a cyclops. Next you need to go deeper into the cave, reaching the cliff, you will see a skeleton with a crossbow diagram.

Search for pants, boots, bracers and armor

Head northeast to the ruined fortress of Tirshach. When you reach the blocked passage, turn left, there will be a bypass. Go down the stairs, opening the doors using the lever.

As you descend, you will be attacked by ghosts until you reach a room with a couple of opponents. There will be two passages from this room, going to the right, you will find the remaining parts of the bear school armor.

Now you know where to find the armor of the bear school in The Witcher 3. As you reach new levels and quests appear, you will find more improved armor of the bear school, thanks to which you will become less vulnerable and more agile.

All armor sets are upgraded three times, and finding them does not require doing anything more difficult than collecting the main set.

Improved Bear School set. This set increases all parameters by 5-10% and increases the overall armor. For crafting, you will need a blacksmith and an apprentice gunsmith who have their own workshops in Novigrad.

Improved Bear School armor (level 25)

We go to the main island of the Skellige archipelago. In the southeast of it there is a fast travel point “Grotto”. It is into this cave that we need to go. Level 26 enemies are waiting for us inside. After their repose, we examine the loot and find the desired chest.

Improved Bear School Boots (level 25)

We remain on the island, but head southeast from the “settlement of Fornhala”. A little east of the Place of Power, in the forest, there is an unnamed cave with three trolls living in it. In the main hall of the cave behind the trolls, strictly opposite the entrance, there will be the necessary chest.

Improved Bear School pants (level 25)

Now the path lies to the northeast of the island to the point “Marlin Embankment”. From it, strictly northeast, we sail to a small island and on its southern shore (closest to the large island) we find a cave. Inside there will be the necessary chest and drawing.

Improved Bear School gloves (level 25)

We return to the main island of Skellige. We will need the Rogni Village travel point. From there, across the lake to the northeast, there is a ruined tower. We climb up and find a chest and a drawing.

Improved silver sword of the Bear School (level 25)

Not far from the previous location is the Kaer Gehlen travel point. Go down and get ready to fight the Alghouls. At the bottom of the cave there will be a treasured chest.

Improved steel sword of the Bear School (level 25)

To the west of the main island we find a small island and a fast travel point, “Kaer Almhuld”. There is a pirate fortress nearby. We clear it (we destroy all living things) and go up along the right side of the entrance (north side of the fortress). This is where the chest will be.

An excellent set of armor and weapons from the Bear School. This set includes a set of armor and drawings for swords. This set is also created by a blacksmith and a gunsmith by apprentices, and as for the characteristics, the parameters again increase by 5-10%.

Excellent armor of the Bear School (level 27)

We leave for Velen and go to the Gallows Tree travel point. In the northwest there will be a small cave with Nakkers. Inside the cave itself there is a chest, and in it are drawings of armor, gloves, pants and boots.

It is quite possible that you already have these drawings from the very beginning of the game. Check Geralt's database of crafting recipes.

Excellent silver sword of the Bear School

Note that this adventure will require the ability to dispel illusions, and therefore Keira Metz's quests must be completed. We go to the travel point “Shelter on the crooked swamps” and our goal is southern point on the map below.

Here, near the boulder, we dispel the illusion and enter the cave, keep to the left and find a corpse and a chest nearby. The Fogman lives in the cave, so you will have to kill him. The Aard sign will help so that it takes on a material form and is vulnerable to swords and other weapons.

Excellent Steel Sword of the Bear School

From the fast travel point “Shelter on the Crooked Marshes” we go northeast, to the ruins of the tower. A Golem awaits us here, and therefore we will have to kill it. Behind it will be the desired chest.

Master set of armor and weapons from the Bear School. This set of improvements also consists of a separate set of armor that will be located at a separate point, and an upgrade of both swords. To craft them, you will already need a blacksmith and a master gunsmith. It’s easy to find them, because they live in the “Castle of Voronitsa”, but initially you will need to do a quest for them to find tools. As for the characteristics, the overall armor indicator will increase to 190, and other parameters to 20-45%.

Our goal is a small island near the peninsula in the northwest of the “Road to Bald Mountain” travel point. Or in the southeast of the Kolomnitsa point. There will be a small ashes and the necessary chest with a drawing.

We remain in Velen and move to the travel point “Village of Big Boughs”. In the northwest of it we find a cave and in its depths behind all the rock formations there is a chest.

Master armor of the bear school (level 31)

We go again to the point “Road to Bald Mountain” and move into the mountains to the destroyed bastion. He also has his own travel point, which is called the “Ruined Bastion”. If you go from afar, then get ready to meet basilisks and wyverns, as well as other monsters, on the way.

A cyclops will be sleeping at the entrance, but we carefully go inside, do not disturb, and behind the northern wall we find the necessary chest and a set of drawings for gloves, pants, boots and armor. The Cyclops will continue to sleep in the west.

In this guide I will tell you how to find the Bear School armor and all the improvements for it. The Bear School armor is heavy armor. They give greatest number armor, resistance to various blows, and also increase the rate of adrenaline regeneration.

Note: Some of the screenshots in this post were taken from third-party resources for the reason that during the search for the set I did not plan to write this guide and did not always take my own screenshots. To make the search easier, screenshots are in the spoilers under the description.

Purchasing maps to search for a set

Having maps is not necessary to find the kits, but they will help you by adding the corresponding markers to the world map. After purchasing cards, you need to “read” them and then you will have the corresponding tasks.

Armor. Ruins of the Tirschach clan castle

We go to the site of the ruins. Entering the courtyard we will see a door on the right that leads to the castle itself. In the castle itself, we immediately turn left and go down the stairs. Here you will be attacked by several ghosts who do not pose any particular danger. At the end of the corridor on the right there is a lever. By activating it, several doors will immediately open and ghosts will attack you again. After the fight, head to the very first door on the left along the corridor. Just go straight through the cave and you will soon find yourself in the throne room. In the corner there is the necessary chest with drawings.

I already had a fast travel point open right next to the inn, so I didn’t have to walk long. Among the ruins we are looking for a piled down descent, which we clear with Aard. Below we meet two ghosts of level 20. The chest with the drawing is in the room next to the stairs.
