The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was originally released with seven gear sets for each of the seven different animal-based schools. Following the success of the Netflix adaptation series, however, an eighth set called Forgotten Wolf School Gear was added as part of the coveted next-generation update. The new addition is inspired by the same set of armor and swords used by Henry Cavill (Geralt) in the first two seasons of the live-action series and offers some impressive stats and bonuses for you to boast about while finding Ciri in The Witcher 3.
The Forgotten Wolven armor is a medium-type set that increases your attack power, adrenaline generation, and resistance to damage. The Forgotten Wolven steel and silver swords, on the other hand, increase your critical damage and critical hit chance, the chance to cause bleeding, and sign intensity.
It is easily one of the best gear sets to get in The Witcher 3. Here is what you need to do to look as good as Henry Cavill in the game.
The Witcher 3: The 24 Most Important Choices You’ll Have To Make In The Game
The Witcher 3 is full of incredibly important choices that impact the game's world. Here are a few of the most vital.
How to Get the Forgotten Wolf School Gear Diagrams in The Witcher 3
The Forgotten Wolven diagrams can be obtained as a reward for completing a secondary quest called In the Eternal Fire's Shadow, which was added to The Witcher 3 as part of the next-gen update. Hence, returning players will need to update their game to the latest version if they want to get hold of the gear Henry Cavill wears in the Netflix series.
Complete the Eternal Fire's Shadow quest
"In the Eternal Fire's Shadow" is a level 15 quest that can be started at the Devil's Pit, southeast of the Hanged Man's Tree in Velen. Head over there to come across an Eternal Fire Priest in need of help. Speak with him to start the Netflix armor quest.
The Hanged Man's Tree is where you first enter Velen. It automatically gets unlocked as a fast-travel point in The Witcher 3 , so you do not have to fret about excessive traveling if the Devil's Pit has not been discovered on the map.
The quest requires you to clear the abandoned mine system at the Devil's Pit. Start by defeating a group of deserters inside the pit to loot the key that opens the mine. Then enter and explore the mine. You can use your Witcher Senses to discover the Wolf School symbols, and your magic lamp to get additional insight into what happened here.
You will eventually find Reinard, an old Witcher. Defeat his possessed form to force the Red Miasmal to reveal itself. Defeat the creature as well, and Reinald will give you the Forgotten Wolf School Gear in The Witcher 3.
"In the Eternal Fire's Shadow" has multiple outcomes similar to other quests in The Witcher 3 . Reinald will give you the Forgotten Wolven diagrams regardless of what you choose at the end of the quest.
Find Osmund's Notes
The Forgotten Wolven diagrams Reinald gives you in the mines are for the basic (starting) level in The Witcher 3. You need to head over to Kaer Morhen to find Osmund's notes to be able to upgrade the Netflix-inspired armor set to the mastercrafted and grandmaster levels.
Completing the "In the Eternal Fire's Shadow" quest will start a Scavenger Hunt for the Forgotten School Gear diagrams. When you reach the Kaer Morhen keep, enter and head left to find some bookshelves. Climb the nearby ladder to reach the second level. You will find both Osmund's and Vesemir's notes here at the end of the platform. Read them to unlock the entire Forgotten Wolven set in The Witcher 3.
If you are unable to return to Kaer Morhen, it is probably because you have not completed the Ugly Baby quest in The Witcher 3 .
The Witcher 3: Where to Get Mandrake Cordial
Mandrake Cordials can only be found in limited quantities. Here's how to get them in lots and at cheap prices in The Witcher 3.
How to Craft the Forgotten Wolf School Set
The Netflix-inspired Forgotten Wolf School set has three tiers in the first playthrough of The Witcher 3. Beating the game in a New Game Plus playthrough lets you upgrade the Forgotten Wolven set by another three tiers. Be ready to invest a lot of hours into crafting the complete set because it requires a ton of gold and crafting materials across all tiers.
You can easily find journeyman blacksmiths in almost every town and village. The master and grandmaster blacksmiths, however, need to be unlocked through the Of Swords and Dumplings quest in The Witcher 3 .
