How to obtain the White Tiger of the West Armor and the Thousand Flowers Gear
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt received a free next gen patch on December 14, 2022. This update enhances textures, adds new content, and fixes issues across platforms. Players who owned the game on or before that date could download the patch, and those who acquired the game after the date received the update automatically when starting the game.
To start the quest line, players should begin The Witcher 3 on GOG GALAXY 2.0. If the game is launched via Steam or the Epic Games Store, linking a GOG account is required to access the rewards. A free GOG account can be created at any time during first launch if needed. The rewards become visible in the inventory after visiting the Royal Palace in Vizima, where a letter from Yennefer guides players toward the hidden treasures. The prize set includes the White Tiger of the West armor and the armor of a thousand flowers from Dol Blathanna along with swords from the nine tailed fox and other gear.
How to locate the chest in Vizima
Travel to Vizima using the fast travel pointer. When the map opens, press Space to select the Royal Castle in Vizima as the destination. This unlocks a path to the ambassador area. Once inside the castle grounds, pass through the door on the left into the yard. The only open door leads to the Ambassador of Var Attra. Behind the fireplace sits a small room containing a coveted chest with useful items. This area also has chests and shelves to inspect and a few books to read, depending on preference.
The chest grants another note from Yennefer, though it does not currently trigger any new tasks. Future expansions may add more quests tied to these rewards. After examining the chest, unique rewards become available.
Available gear from level 7 includes the Sword of a Thousand Flowers with 82 to 100 damage, the White Widow from the Valley of Flowers with 155 to 188 damage, the Armor of a Thousand Colors at 66 armor, Boots of a Thousand Flowers at 22 armor, Gloves in a Thousand Colors at 18 armor, and Trousers in a Thousand Colors at 21 armor. These items are relics and stand above Common, Master, and Magic Items, coming just below sets in overall value.
From level 11, players gain access to the Steel Sword of the Nine-Tailed Fox at 109 to 133 damage, the Silver Sword of the Nine-Tailed Fox at 192 to 234 damage, the Armor of the White Tiger of the West at 85 armor, Boots of the White Tiger of the West at 29 armor, Pants of the White Tiger of the West at 30 armor, and Elbows of the White Tiger of the West at 25 armor. This catalog emphasizes the progression path and the legendary status of these relics.
In summary, the items described are relics with superior stats compared to common items, ranking just beneath full sets in effectiveness.
How to obtain a new card for Gwent
To receive a unique card for Gwent in The Witcher 3, players should run Gwent The Witcher Card Game on the same account across platforms. Doing so grants immediate access to a new minigame card, which appears in the inventory after continuing play. Additional rewards are planned for future updates, so players should periodically check the My Rewards section for fresh bonuses.
How to claim rewards in the Gwent card game
After installing the game, users should log in to their REDlauncher account. Rewards for Gwent The Witcher Card Game are earned by using the same account across devices, whether on PC or mobile. The launcher is shared with The Witcher 3 and provides free access to these features.
Starting the new quest In the Shadow of the Eternal Fire and earning the Forgotten Wolf School Equipment
A fresh quest titled In the Shadow of Eternal Fire appears in Velen. The rewards align with Netflixs Witcher series and include blueprints for four armor pieces along with two swords. Equipment can be used once the character reaches level 20, so players who have just begun can pace themselves. The adventure begins with a meeting with the deacon at the location nicknamed Damn Pit, a character known for a loud presence. If any challenge arises, a separate guide covers how to begin the quest and achieve a favorable ending.
Changing Buttercup’s Nilfgaardian armor and attire
The update introduces Dandelion’s alternate appearance inspired by the Netflix Witcher series. Players can enable it under the menu path Institutions, Game Process. An alternate Nilfgaardian armor set also makes an appearance, following the same access route.
