It has been a short time since I noticed a mod for The Witcher 3 that appeared attention-grabbing, 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 change into your endgame go-to through some distinctive talents and results not one of the base sport’s blades boast.
As with a bunch of the cool Witcher 3 mods we reported on final yr – which included new quests that includes stuff like a sizzling air balloon journey and the trippiest evening 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 would possibly keep in mind having modded Witcher 3 Ciri in her The Witcher 4 getup not lengthy after The Recreation Awards final yr.
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 total armies. However such energy by no means comes with out a value.”

It lasts about 20-Half-hour and has you doing issues like chasing a Djinn and negotiating a portal maze that I am certain Geralt’s simply thrilled about, with some remixed base sport traces 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 result of restricted help and the truth that I’ve been updating and dealing on different mods, I wasn’t in a position to proceed creating it additional.”
Regardless, what they’ve outlined concerning the Crooked Sword’s talents/results definitely sounds attention-grabbing. Each time you equip it, Geralt’s imbued with all of the boons and downsides of downing a cat potion, a degree three thunderbolt potion, and a degree 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.
If you happen to’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 virtually unbeatable Aerondight, these appear to differ 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 dwelling as soon as you have picked it up. If nothing else, one other factor to think about giving a go whereas all of us look ahead to extra information on The Witcher 4 and Undertaking Sirius.
