10 Hidden Video Game Rewards Given To Smart Players
9. Viper Venomous Silver Sword - The Witcher 3
The Witcher 3's Heart of Stone DLC features several rewards that you cannot get anywhere else in the game. Most of these items are unlocked by completing the main story quest, but the Viper Venomous Silver Sword requires you to think outside the box to obtain it.
The blade is a powerful silver sword hidden inside the final level of the DLC, a magical realm where Gaunter O'Dimm throws Geralt if he decides to oppose him.
Gaunter's nightmare world is unique in that it forces you to work under a time limit. You only have a couple of minutes to find Gaunter on the map, and if you don't, the demon will consume your soul, costing you an instant game over.
The path to Gaunter is straightforward, but on the way, the devil will tempt you with alternate routes filled with treasures.
The venomous silver sword is along the farthest of these paths, meaning that in order to get it, you have to have a keen eye for finding hidden treasures and then an equally keen mind for figuring out how to capture O'Dimm in a fraction of the regular time.
The process is tricky, but the sword you get is powerful enough to justify the mental gymnastics.
