Where to go
The Witcher 3 game has a huge variety of weapons and armor, but despite this, it is best to collect “network” sets from one of the schools - Bear, Wolf and others. These sets differ in their characteristics and are suitable for those players who use different tactics during battle.
Today we will present to your attention a new guide for The Witcher 3: bear equipment.
Limitation
Although it is possible to equip set items almost immediately, obtaining them comes with a lot of risk. Based on this, you can set a special limit on the level of any set of weapons. In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the Bear School armor will require some effort from the player to obtain. If you play on medium or minimum difficulty, you can go for your first items at level 15. In this case, you will have to fight quite strong opponents who are 4-5 points stronger than you. Such enemies high level Difficulties may well make even very experienced players sweat. The recommended level for collecting the set is at least 20. There are only seven set items in the game. It includes a full set of armor, including pants, boots, breastplate and gloves, as well as weapons consisting of a crossbow and two swords. Depending on how you start collecting the kit, you will receive items in different sequences.
Steel sword
It can be found on the Skellige archipelago. To obtain it, you do not need to complete any additional conditions or quests. You just need to go to the destroyed village in the south of the island. Here you need to find a destroyed tavern. Level 20 sirens live here. The easiest way to defeat them is with long-range weapons. You will need to shoot them with a crossbow, and when they land, chop them up with your sword. After the battle, you need to carefully search the inn. When you find a blocked entrance to the basement, you will need to use the Aard symbol to clear the passage. There you can find a chest with a drawing steel sword, which is kept by a small group of ghosts. This way you can get a hint about the location of the silver sword from this set. In addition to this, you will also be able to liberate the village. Now you can take advantage of the services of local artisans and traders.
Silver
Another item you will need to find is a silver sword. It is hidden on the same island. You need to go to Fort Etnir. The local monsters are level 30, so you need to prepare in advance. The ice elemental won't cause you any problems. Gargoyles can rush at you from afar. Behind the door on the right side of the fort is a chest with a drawing of a sword.
Weapon
The crossbow, which belongs to the desired set, is located on the same island of Skellige. More precisely, it is located on the northwestern island in its southern part in the Sirens Cave. On the way to this cave you will meet a level 21 cyclops. In the cave itself you can meet the indigenous inhabitants. After exiting, immediately turn right and go to the very end. To your left there will be a passage that leads up. You need to jump into it and pull yourself higher. Also, don't miss the skeleton of the unlucky adventurer. Here you can find the much-desired scheme.
Armor
The bear school armor is located in one place. To find out its location, you need to buy a map in Ochsenfurt from the armorer. In this case, it would be better to go after her first, and only then for the weapon that is included in this kit. If you look for the set yourself, the armor will be the last thing you can find. To do this, you need to sail to the northeastern island. There you can find Trishach Castle. From the courtyard you need to go inside. In the room you need to turn left and go down the stairs, not forgetting to pull the lever. Here, several ghosts will attack you from the cells, which you can easily deal with. You need to go through the hall and into Once again turn left. There will be another room here with a couple of ghosts in it. After you see them, turn right. Here you can find a chest containing the Bear School armor. The game will immediately provide you with hints to find the remaining weapons if you have not yet managed to get to them.
Improved Swords
So, let's say in the game "The Witcher 3" you collected all the armor of the Bear School. We could finish the guide, but we will go further and try to figure out ways to acquire improved equipment. To get it, you need the previous set, so feel free to start collecting from the beginning. You can purchase the first card from the gunsmith located in KaerTrold. You can also purchase the following tips from him. In order to get the upgraded steel sword, you will need to sail back from the main island of ArdSkelling. In the ruins of the fortress, you will have to fight the pirates who are guarding the treasured chest with the drawing. Nearby you can find a silver sword with a drawing. On the main island northeast of Fort KaerGelen you can find an abandoned fortress containing level 21 gargoyles. Here you can easily find a chest with a drawing.
Improved armor
Let's continue our guide to the game Witcher 3. Finding equipment for the bear school is associated with many dangers and difficulties, but the result will not keep you waiting. The essence of improved armor is mainly designed for a level 21-22 character. This way you can go through a fairly long section of the game without changing weapons.
Armor
You can find armor in the Grotto cave. You can get there by boat or fast travel. Inside you need to go right all the way, fighting off the bandits along the way.
Boots
Go north from the port of Holmstein. As a result, you will stumble upon a cave where three trolls live. After defeating them you will need to search everything. The drawing should be in the chest.
Gloves
One of the most affordable items is gloves. You need to leave the village of Rogni to the north. By left side An unguarded tower will stand from the road. Inside this tower is a chest with a drawing.
Trousers
To find the last item of the set, you need to take a boat from Undvig Island to the northeast. Here on a small island guarded by fogs you can find them.
Excellent armor
The improved armor of the Bear School in the game The Witcher 3 is far from the last level of development of this type of equipment. The next step could be getting excellent armor. They are usually designed for a level 26 character and are assembled in the same way as their predecessors. All four items from the excellent bear school armor set are stored in one place. It is located northwest of the Gallows Tree waypoint on the continent. Upon entering this cave, you must immediately turn left into the nearest dead end. The swords are stored in different places.
First of all, you need to go to the Shelter in Crooked Ear Marsh. From this point you can easily choose one of the directions. If you go in a north-west direction, you can easily meet a peat collector. He will give you a whole task to clear the indicated cave. To get into it, you need to dispel the illusion “with the eye of Nehalena” near the fogman’s lair. You can get it as a result of completing one of the previous missions. If you go east, you will need to find a chest near the ruins of a knight's head.
Mother's Armor
Mother armor is the final "trade" of the armor type in question. It is worth considering that in this case, getting the drawings is only half the battle. You will also have to find a master level gunsmith to make the appropriate kit yourself. The player will have to try hard to find a chest containing a set of armor drawings. They are kept in a tower that is located far south of Crooked Ear Marsh. If you draw a line vertically down from the “Shelter”, and from the point “Road to Bald Mountain” a horizontal line to the right, then at their intersection you can get the starting station. From this point you need to go exactly southeast. As a result, you should run into the desired building. This way you can get the best weapons in the game, namely the Bear School armor.
Weapon
To find the silver sword, you need to leave the sign "To Bald Mountain" and go west along the coast. Not far from the shore on a small island there should be a treasured chest, which is guarded by drowners. The steel sword is located in the bear cave, which the player must find himself in when completing the task “Family Matters”. It is located in the northwest direction from the village of Big Boughs. At the maximum difficulty level, The Witcher 3 can be quite difficult. In any case, you will have to collect one of the sets. Bear armor set general case is obtained quite easily. Difficulties may only arise with obtaining some items. Thus this set will become best choice from all the options presented.
Master armorer
As mentioned earlier, in the game “The Witcher 3” the master armor of the Bear School will require not only a blueprint, you will also have to find a suitable artisan who can make such valuable ammunition for you. Now go to Vronitsa Castle. Here you will need to find Ionna and Fergus. They will send you again to Skelling Island to look for tools. More specifically, it will be a small piece of land called Undvig. Once you arrive there, you can immediately drive to the caves and go inside. If you move carefully, you can soon stumble upon a level 26 troll. You need to kill him and pick up “excellent tools” nearby. Then they must be taken to Velen to Ionne. Next, a special acid is needed. You can only get it after completing the quest “Griffin in the Hills.” To do this, you need to go to the area marked on the map. Once you've explored the area, you'll need to climb up the hill and fight the griffin. When the battle ends in victory, you can return to Ionna. After this, immediately give the acid to the blacksmith. A general will come and ask you to check the new armor. You need to agree and put on your armor. Now you just need to wait until they start shooting at you with a crossbow. A few days later you can return. Then Ionna will agree to make master armor for you according to any drawing. Since the Bear School armor is one of the most effective sets in the game, it immediately won a lot of fans.
All armor sets are upgraded three times, and finding them does not require doing anything more difficult than collecting the main set.

Despite the fact that the game "The Witcher 3" contains a large number of the most varied armor and weapons, it is best to collect “set” sets from one of the schools - Wolf, Bear and others. They all differ in characteristics and are suitable for players who use different tactics during battle. Today we present to your attention a new guide - The Witcher 3: Bear equipment.
Limitation
Despite the fact that you can equip set items almost immediately, obtaining them is associated with considerable risk. Based on this, you can set a special level limit for any set of weapons. In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the Bear School armor may require some effort from the player to obtain.
If you play on minimum or medium difficulty, you can safely go for your first items already at level 15. In this case, you will have to fight quite strong opponents 4-5 points stronger than you. On high difficulty, such vags can make even the most experienced players sweat, so the recommended level for collecting the set is at least 20.
There are a total of 7 set items in the game. This is a complete set of armor (breastplate, pants, boots and gloves) and weapons (two swords and a crossbow). Depending on how you start assembling the set, you will receive items in a different order.
Steel sword
You can find it on the Skellige archipelago. To obtain it, you do not need to complete any additional quests or conditions. Just go to the ruined village in the south of the island.
There you need to find a destroyed tavern. It is inhabited by level 20 sirens. The easiest way to defeat them is with long-range weapons. Shoot them with a crossbow, and when they land, chop them up with your sword.
After the battle, carefully search the inn. Once you find the blocked entrance to the basement, use the Aard symbol to clear the passage. There you will find a chest with a drawing of a steel sword, which is guarded by a small group of ghosts. You will also receive a hint about finding the silver sword from this set.
A nice bonus is that this way you will free the village. Now you can use the services of local traders and artisans.
Silver
The next item you need to find is a silver sword. It is hidden on the same island. You need to go to Fort Etnir. Local monsters are level 30, so prepare in advance. Ice Elemental special problems will not deliver, but the gargoyles will throw stones at you from afar. The chest with the sword drawing is behind the door on the right side of the fort.
Weapon
The crossbow belonging to the desired set is also located on the Skellige Islands. More precisely, in the southern part of the northwestern island in the Sirens Cave. On the way to it you will meet a level 21 cyclops. In the cave itself you will find the indigenous inhabitants.
Immediately after entering, turn right and go to the very end. By left hand from you there will be a passage leading upstairs. Jump into it and pull yourself higher. Don't miss the skeleton of the unlucky adventurer. You will find the desired scheme from him.
Armor
The armor of the Bear School (The Witcher 3) is all located in one place. You can find out its location by purchasing a map in Oxenfurt from an armorer. In this case, it would be better to go for it first, and only then for the weapons from this kit.
If you are looking for a set on your own, you will find armor last. To do this, sail to the northeastern island. And there look for the Tirschach castle. From the courtyard, go inside. In the room, turn left and go down the stairs, remembering to pull the lever.
Several ghosts will attack you from the cells, and it won’t be difficult to deal with them. Walk through the hall and turn left again. There will be another room with a couple of ghosts. After killing them, go right. Here you will find a chest containing the armor of the Bear School. The Witcher 3 will immediately give you hints on finding the remaining weapons if you haven’t received them yet.
Improved Swords
So, you have collected the Bear School armor in The Witcher 3. The guide could be finished, but we will go further and look at ways to get improved equipment. To obtain it, you will not need the previous set, so you can safely start collecting it from scratch.
You can purchase the first card from the gunsmith located in Kaer Trolde. All subsequent tips can also be purchased from him.
To get the upgraded steel sword, sail west from the main island of Ard Skelling. There, in the ruins of the Almhuld fortress, you will have to fight the pirates guarding the treasured chest with the drawing.
The silver sword can be found right there, nearby. On the main island northeast of the Kaer Gelen fort you can find an abandoned fortress. It is inhabited by level 21 gargoyles. Finding a chest with a drawing will not be difficult.
Improved armor
We continue our guide (The Witcher 3). Finding bear school equipment is fraught with many dangers and difficulties, but the results will not be long in coming. The set of improved armor is designed for character level 21-22, so you can go through a fairly large portion of the game without changing weapons.
Excellent armor
In the game "The Witcher 3" the improved armor of the Bear School is not last level development of this equipment. The next step will be to obtain “excellent armor.” They are designed for character level 26 and are assembled in the same way as their predecessors.
All four items from the excellent bear school armor set are stored in one place. It is located on the continent northwest of the Gallows Tree waypoint. This is a cave, upon entering which you must immediately turn left into the nearest dead end.
Swords are stored in different places. First of all, you need to go to the Shelter in Crooked Ear Marsh. From this point you can choose one of two directions.
- To the northwest. If you go in this direction you may meet a peat collector. He will give you the task of clearing the indicated cave. To get into it, you need to dispel the illusion “with the eye of Nehalena” near the fogman’s lair. It could be obtained during one of the previous missions.
- To the East. You just need to find a chest near the ruins of the knight's tower.
Master armor
This is the last “grade” of the armor in question. Remember that getting the drawings in this case is half the battle. You will also have to find a master-level armorer so that he can make you the appropriate kit.
To find a chest containing a set of armor drawings, you will have to try. They are kept in a tower located far south of Crooked Ear Marsh. If we draw a line from the “Shelter” vertically down, and from the “Road” waypoint horizontally to the right, then at their intersection we will get the starting “station”. From it you need to go exactly to the southeast, and you will come across exactly the desired building. So you will get the best weapon in the game "The Witcher 3" - the armor of the Bear School. Where can I find the weapon?
- To find the silver sword, exit from the sign "To Bald Mountain" and walk along the coast to the west. On a small island not far from the shore there will be a treasured chest guarded by drowners.
- The steel sword is located in the bear cave, where the player was supposed to find himself on the mission “Family Matters.” It is located strictly north-west of the village "Big Boughs".
The game "The Witcher 3", where the armor of the Bear School plays an important role, is very difficult on maximum difficulty. So you will have to collect one of the sets in any case. A set of Bear armor is very easy to obtain; difficulties can be experienced in obtaining only some of them. So it will be the best choice from the options presented.
Master armorer
As already mentioned, in the game "The Witcher 3" the master armor of the Bear School will require more than just a drawing from you. You must also find a suitable artisan who is capable of producing such valuable ammunition.
Go to Vronitsa Castle. There you need to find Fergus and Ionna. They will send you back to Skelling Island to find the tools. More specifically, a small piece of land called Undvig.
Having arrived there, you can immediately go to the caves and go inside. Move carefully to the right and you will soon come across a level 26 troll. Kill him and pick up "excellent tools" nearby. They must be immediately taken to Velen to Ionne.
Now you need a special acid. You can get it after completing the quest "Griffin in the Hills". Go to the area marked on the map. After examining the place, go up the hill and fight the griffin. After the victory, you can safely return to Ionna.
Immediately after you give the acid to the blacksmith, a general will come and ask you to check the new armor. Agree and put on your armor. After that, just wait until they shoot you with a crossbow. After a few days, you can return, and Ionna will agree to make master armor for you according to any of the drawings.
