It has been a short while since I noticed a mod for The Witcher 3 that seemed fascinating, however this one’s caught me eye. It is a new quest that takes place after the Hearts of Stone DLC, and duties you with searching down a sword that goals to turn out to be your endgame go-to through some distinctive talents and results not one of the base recreation’s blades boast.
As with a bunch of the cool Witcher 3 mods we reported on final 12 months – which included new quests that includes stuff like a sizzling air balloon trip and the trippiest night time Gerry’s had since him, Lambert, and Eskel raided Yennefer’s wardrobe – this one additionally would not be potential with these useful REDkit instruments.
Anyway, this newest one known as ‘The Crooked Sword – Aspect Quest’ and it is the work of modder Forlornsito, who you may keep in mind having modded Witcher 3 Ciri in her The Witcher 4 getup not lengthy after The Sport Awards final 12 months.
Their newest launch is a treasure hunt quest that takes place after you full the Hearts of Stone DLC. “Within the rugged isles of Skellige, Geralt crosses paths with a mysterious cartographer on the docks of Rannvaig,” reads the synopsis, “Draven, is obsessive about discovering a legendary blade, one imbued with darkish magic and stated to own the facility to annihilate whole armies. However such energy by no means comes with no worth.”

It lasts about 20-Half-hour and has you doing issues like chasing a Djinn and negotiating a portal maze that I am positive Geralt’s simply thrilled about, with some remixed base recreation strains and cutscenes to spice issues up. “Initially, this mod was meant to be expanded with a number of endings and alternate paths,” its creator writes, “however as a consequence of restricted assist and the truth that I’ve been updating and dealing on different mods, I wasn’t capable of proceed creating it additional.”
Regardless, what they’ve outlined in regards to the Crooked Sword’s talents/results definitely sounds fascinating. Each time you equip it, Geralt’s imbued with all of the boons and disadvantages of downing a cat potion, a stage three thunderbolt potion, and a stage three blizzard potion, full with sufficient toxicity to make all his veins come out. As if that is not sufficient, simply pulling the sword out mechanically modifications the climate to a violent thunderstorm with pouring rain. Each single time.
For those who’re questioning what the precise base stats of this blade that is purported to be the OP endgame metal sword equal of the Blood and Wine DLC’s famously nearly unbeatable Aerondight, these appear to range from playthrough to playthrough, so that you by no means fairly know what you are getting.
All in all, it appears like a weapon you are unlikely to overlook about and depart rusting away on some plaque at residence as soon as you have picked it up. If nothing else, one other factor to think about giving a go whereas all of us watch for extra information on The Witcher 4 and Venture Sirius.
