The Witcher 3: 10 Rare Weapons You Totally Missed

10. Bloodsword

Starting us off strong is the powerful, relic tier silver sword known as Bloodsword.

This sword can only be gotten as a reward for one of two quests in the game: Inheritance, and Battlefield Spoils.

Both are treasure hunt quests, so there's no real difference in the content of either (although Inheritance is slightly easier), and whether you go to Boxholm (Inheritance), or the Eternal Fire Chapel (Battlefield Spoils), you'll have this powerful and unique sword before you know it.

What makes Bloodsword special, and what presumably gives it its name, is the unique damage modifier attributed to the weapon, which gives it an increased chance to dismember foes, as well as an increased chance to cause bleeding, and a not insubstantial critical hit modifier.

So if you love watching those finishers where Geralt literally chops someone in half, this should definitely be your priority.

Plus, being relic tier, this sword is no joke, and considering how quickly it can be found, it makes for the perfect early game boss pulveriser.

That pesky Archgriffin doesn't stand a chance once you hack a chunk of its wing off.
