Where to begin?
Witcher,
If you are ready to start collecting the armor of the bear school, then make sure that your level is 15. Depending on the complexity of your path, start your search from a higher level. If you think that you are a master with a sword and can cope with all the nakers, fork tails, ghosts and demons, then I dare not stop such a hero! However, you need to know that ...
Each set of bear school witcher armor consists of 7 items:
- Armor,
- Boots,
- Gloves,
- Trousers,
- Steel sword
- Silver sword
- Crossbow.
- Initial armor (from level 19);
- Improved armor (from level 25);
- Excellent armor (from level 30);
- Master armor (from level 34);
- Grandmaster armor (from level 41);
- Starting Armor will be waiting for you on the northeastern island. To reach them, talk to the armored man in Oxenfurt. He has a card - a hint, which is worth the orens that he asks for it.
- A map, with the locations of improved, excellent, masterful armor can be found at the gunsmith in Caer Trolde. For the ringing of a shiny coin, of course.
- The Grandmaster Armor Card, you can find it in Toussaint... More precisely, in Beauclair. The card can be taken from the blacksmith - grandmaster, he will give it to you with great pleasure.
Do not be gullible, deadly enemies will meet you on the way - various magical creatures, robbers, monsters and curses. If you have the skill to overcome them, then the treasure is yours. And if not, you can always come back for him later or cheat.
Now that you've learned everything you need to know, it's time to go in search of your initial armor.
Va Fail, Vatt'ghern!
Putting together the starter kit
In order to start the search, you need to go to the armored man in Ochsenfurt and buy a card from him. Consider your levelit should be not less than 20 otherwise, you will not be able to put them on.
1) Initial armorlocated among the ruins of the castle of the Tirshah clan. We go into the castle and get to the throne room by solving riddles. There, after a glorious victory, you will find a chest with treasured treasures that were kept by the once fearless clan.
2) Initial steel sword waiting in the wings, too, on ruins, but simple ruins. It used to be a tavern, so use Aard and find the blocked entrance to the basement where there is a chest with a blueprint. Be careful, they say, there are ghosts.
3) Initial Silver Sword rests with its last owner on the ruins of the Etnir fortress.
4) Starting crossbow, good thing! And dangerous, especially for the sirens that guard it ... Right in this cave.
Putting together an improved kit
Have you learned to wear heavy armor? Your level has reached 25? Are you sure this is what you need? Then we go in search of improved armor.
First you need to look at the local gunsmith in Kaer Trolde. He will sell us a map of antiquities for a small bag of orens.
1) Improved armor you can find the grotto in the cave. If you were looking for the armor of the Wolf school, you were already there. If not, then go to the cave, get to its end and get your treasure.
2) Improved Pants lie in a cave on one of the small Skellige islands. The chest is located near the entrance to the cave, so finding it will not be a problem.
3) Improved boots are also located in one of the many caves. Here it is, on the map.
4) Improved gloves in the old tower that stands on the road. You will follow this road and you will see it on your right side.
5) Improved Silver Sword is considered that in the land of the druids. However, they will not mind if you take possession of such a relic. Find a castle, and in the castle you will find a chest - everything is there.
6) Improved Steel Sword is found by pirates. The fight will not be easy, but you can handle it. When you enter the castle where these bastards lurk, turn right. Then everything depends on the speed of your sword.
7) Improved Crossbow there is no need to look. Yours is good enough!
Putting together a great kit
You have already reached Level 30, wolf? Then it's time to tighten your packs and go on a dangerous hike for excellent swords. And if you have reached level 30, then you can go for excellent armor. So great that they can take a couple of good hits from a young male griffin. That sounds good?
I hope you remember that you can purchase a marked map from a local gunsmith in Caer Trolde. He will sell us a map of antiquities for a small bag of orens. Finding it is very simple:
rest in a deep mine somewhere in the vastness of the ruined Velen. Your reference point will be the gallows tree, which is a sight to behold.
2) Excellent steel and silver swords have long disappeared in the damned Krivoukhovy swamps, no one knows exactly where ... Nobody but me. Give me a map, I'll show you.
They say where the silver sword awaits you now, once there was a fortress, or a castle, but now - a pile of stones and nothing more.
You will find steel in the opposite direction, hidden in a cave by some magic. Use Eye of Nihalena - will help you find the entrance.
Putting together a master kit
Have a rest, wolf? Then get up. We need to gain strength and best of all 34levelsto retrieve the remaining blueprints. Workshop armor, which was created by the witchers of the Bear school long before you were born. I know you want to have them.
1) Great armor, pants, gloves and boots found the last dwelling on the Krivoukhovy swamps. Do you remember this place that smells of oh and death? We'll have to go back there. Go to the swamps and find the tower. All the drawings are there.
Putting together the grandmaster kit
Finally, your path, aspiration and achieved by hard work and the blood of enemies 41st level,brought you to the end of your journey for possessing the toughest and most impenetrable armor the witchers have ever created!
To begin your search, you need to find the Blacksmith-Grandmaster in Toussaint. Take the order from the message board in Beauclair in the main market and you can find it. He will tell you stories about five witchers who came to his elf teacher for special armor, but all the blueprints were lost along with them ...
1) Grandmaster Armor, Gloves and Silver Sword lie in one place. In a small village by the river. It is called Floviv. Go there, find a destroyed building and demolish its fragments, then you will find a chest.
2) Grandmaster Pants, Boots and Steel Sword are also located near this village, but you need to move a little further north and find a cave. If you find notes, be sure to read them. If not, then just follow the marks on the walls of the cave. Be careful. Fine armor - well guarded!
Let's start collecting the equipment of the bear school. I will add a little from myself (i.e. from the author of the guide): I collected equipment when the main plot of the game had already been completed and a complete set of equipment of the wolf school was assembled. The equipment was collected for the collection, because with the release of the next addition, chests appeared in the game and storage of various loot became less stressful. During collecting school bear gear I already had a decent level (36) and it was not difficult to cope with various evil spirits guarding the chests. In the vastness of the network, it is recommended to start collecting this set from the 10th level, because opponents can be with a level under 20.
Skelige ... Not far from the village of Firsdal there are ruins of a tavern. We pass to the indicated place and under the ruins we find a chest. We demolish the breakdowns with Aard.
Silver sword of the bear school
Skelige ... The main island. North-east of the port of Kaer Trolde. Gargoyles and an ice elemental will meet you here.
Skelige ... Northwest island from the main one. In the indicated cave we moisten all the creatures (there will be many of them). On the floor, among the remains, we find a drawing, naturally using the witch's instinct.
Skelige ... North-eastern island from the main one. We move to the specified mark. Having reached the fort, you will meet with ghosts. After the battle we find a narrow passage in the wall, among the chambers, we go down, we clean the cave from all evil spirits, we find a komata with a chest and other loot. Exit through the main gate.
Skelige ... The main island. East of the port of Kaer Trolde. In the indicated cave there is a chest with a blueprint.
Skelige ... The island is west of the main one. The indicated mark will contain a bandit camp. We chop them, we clean the chests. There you can also find a passage to the dungeon with dungeons (I did not find it right away). If you look as shown in the screenshot, then the passage will be on the right hand. Nice loot awaits you there too.
Skelige ... Main island, east. We find the indicated cave. We clean it from evil spirits and collect the chests.
Skelige ... The main island. South of the port of Caer Trolde. We will jump to the indicated place. We find the cave. (I personally sweated a little to find it). There is a blueprint in the cave.
Skelige ... The main island. Let's jump to the specified mark. The chest is in the ruins. We already drove through these ruins when we collected the basic equipment. Cyclops was on guard there, at that moment I was too tough, and I just ran away from him.
Skelige ... Southwest islands in relation to the main island. A chest in a cave. At a parked boat, you can knock down suckers with Aard and enter.
Velen ... There is a cave to the southwest of the shelter on Krivoukhovy swamps. On the map, I showed the entrances to the cave. I went into one entrance, went out through the other.
Great Steel Bear School Sword
Velen ... To the north-east of the shelter on Krivoukhovy swamps, the ruins of the Knight's Tower. There is a chest in them.
Probably, it's not a secret for anyone that in the game The Witcher 3 there are three interesting sets of armor, which are worth collecting for any sane player. One of the sets is a cat school armor. They are lightweight. The medium armor comes from the griffin school and bear school armor are heavy. We will talk about them now. By the way, here you can watch the passage of the game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and see there, not only how to collect a set of a bear, but also the passage of many other interesting quests.
Where to start your search for school bear armor?
Weapons, armor, crossbow and others armor school bear in The Witcher 3 are some of the best. That is why many players are so eager to get them. If you play at low difficulty levels, you can start your search for a set from level 10. But be careful, because most of your opponents will be level 20. When playing at a high level of difficulty, it is better to start your search from level 20. So be on your guard and prepare Geralt to the maximum for the battle.
It all starts from the Skellige Islands, therefore, to get there, you need to start the quest "Destination: Skellige"... And keep at least 1k coins in your bag.
What is the armor of the bear school made of?
- Bear School Crossbow
- Bear Armor
- Bear School Boots
- Bear Bracers

- Bear Silver Sword
As in all other cases of searching for armor, initially there is no quest. You need to find the first part to get started.
We leave for the southern part of the main island and explore the ruins there. Among all these ruins, you will find the first diagram of a bearish steel sword. Approximately the search location is marked in the picture. After reaching the village, kill the Sirens. Use the crossbow to make them sit on the ground. Hit them with your sword and use different signs. Find their nest and destroy it. As a result, residents will return to the settlement. Then follow the path that leads up the hill. There will be ruins on the right side. With the help of the Aard sign, remove the debris from the ground, then a descent into the basement will open to you. Here you will find interesting loot and ghosts. Remember to persist and meditate. After you defeat the ghosts, the lower room will contain school bear sword diagram.
