The quest for legendary gear in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a central part of the game’s appeal, and the Feline School Gear is a favorite among players who prefer a fast-paced, attack-oriented combat style. Many seek the Superior Legendary Feline Steel Sword, and unfortunately, there seems to be some confusion around its location, as there isn’t a single “Superior Legendary Feline Steel Sword” in the base game. What most likely causes this confusion is that there are multiple upgrades to the Feline Steel Sword that can lead players to think that there is a legendary version.
Instead of a “Superior Legendary” version, you need to collect both the Superior Feline Steel Sword diagram and the Legendary Feline Steel Sword diagram individually. To fully maximize your Feline gear, you’ll ultimately be aiming for the Grandmaster Feline Steel Sword, which is found in the Blood and Wine expansion. Let’s break down where to find the diagrams for these highly sought-after swords, as well as answer other commonly asked questions related to the Feline School gear.
Locating the Superior Feline Steel Sword Diagram
The Superior Feline Steel Sword diagram isn’t in a legendary location, but it’s definitely worth finding. It’s located within a cave northeast of Temple Isle. Here’s the breakdown:
- Location: A cave northeast of Temple Isle in the main game world.
- Task: Go inside the cave and defeat the level 16 Golem.
- Loot: Once the Golem is defeated, look for a small boat and plenty of loot at the deepest part of the cave.
- Diagram Location: The chest containing the Superior Feline Steel Sword diagram is in this location.
Upgrading to the Legendary Feline Steel Sword
Once you’ve crafted the Superior Feline Steel Sword, you’ll want to further upgrade it to the Legendary Feline Steel Sword. However, this upgrade isn’t as simple as using the blacksmith. This is an entirely different sword. This next sword is not a standard upgrade to the previous one, but a standalone sword of higher quality, with the same style.
- Location: The diagram for the Legendary Feline Steel Sword is found in a cavern, north east of Temple Isle as well.
- Note: This is NOT the same cave as for the Superior version.
- Task: Simply loot the chest in the deepest part of the cavern.
Grandmaster Feline Gear: The Ultimate Upgrade
The Grandmaster Feline Gear is the most powerful iteration of this set. This is obtained in The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine expansion. Here’s what you need to know:
- Location: The diagrams for the Grandmaster Feline Gauntlets, Silver Sword, and Steel Sword are located in a leather bag at the end of a cave. This cave is located southeast of the ruins in Toussaint.
- Crafting: Once you have the diagrams, you must go to Blacksmith Lafargue in Beauclair (Toussaint). He is the only crafter who can craft Grandmaster-level gear.
- Requirement: You must own the Blood and Wine expansion in order to access the Grandmaster level gear.
