Aerondight from Witcher 3's Blood and Wine expansion is one of the best argent swords in the unabridged game.

What makes the sword so great is the fact that every hit you state with information technology generates a bit of charge that increases the weapon's damage by ten percent (although you lose charges overtime or when Geralt takes damage). Once the sword is fully charged, every strike with information technology is a disquisitional hit.

Plus, when you kill someone with the fully charged sword, the weapon will receive a permanent damage increase, and the maximum limit of that increase is raised every time Geralt levels up (withal, you'll accept to recharge the sword after every fully charged impale).

With the sword being as powerful as it is, information technology should come as no surprise that information technology's a little complicated to get, but if you follow this guide, you should exist fine.

7 Acquiring The Quest

To get the sword, y'all need to consummate the quest titled 'There Can Be Only One.' The quest can be picked upward from a notice board, try the one in The Gran'Place in Beauclair, even so it'south likely listed on several. Alternatively, y'all tin get straight to lake Lac Celavy (where the notation from the find lath sends you lot), which is directly east from Corvo Bianco, there you'll find a trivial island in the middle of the lake.

When you get to the island, you'll run into a Hermit who will tell you about the sword and explain that in social club for someone to get it they have to possess the 5 chivalric virtues, which are valor, honour, wisdom, sympathy, and generosity.

Now, if you have already done a lot of the quests in the expansion and so you lot may take already shown that you possess those virtues, equally the game thankfully tracks them regardless of whether you caused the quest or not. If that's the instance then you'd just take to win one more battle, and you'd become the sword.

For everyone else, you still demand to prove you accept these virtues past doing certain things in the expansion'due south quests. This is where it gets complicated as the game doesn't specify what you lot take to do, hence the guide.

6 Proving Your Valor

For every virtue, the game kindly gives yous plenty of chances to prove you possess them, although y'all only need to evidence you possess each virtue ONCE to get the sword. In this guide, we won't become through every opportunity to get each virtue equally in that location are too many, but nosotros'll explain a few for each one.

Ane manner to prove your valor is past winning the tournament during 'The Warble of a Smitten Knight' quest (which is triggered after beating the main quest titled 'The Animal of Toussaint'). This one is pretty self-explanatory, the merely real affair to note is yous have to cull to continue participating in the tournament partway through the quest, and you obviously take to win it (watch out it'southward easy to lose).

Another way to do it is through the Fists of Fury: Toussaint questline. First, beat the three ordinary opponents, then follow the Raging Wolf quest to beat the Maestro, which is enough to prove your valor.

Valor is actually a pretty easy virtue to show, and yous'll likely selection information technology up merely from playing the expansion because completing any quest that involves you lot beating a huge creature (such every bit Witcher contracts) or a peculiarly difficult enemy usually is enough.

five Proving Your Honor

At that place are ii ways to show your accolade in 'The Warble of a Smitten Knight' quest. The get-go requires you to choose to apply the name Geralt while registering for the tournament, and then subsequently someone will claiming you to a mounted duel, shell him, and you'll take proven your award. Too in that same quest, you learn of Vivienne'southward undercover, never tell anyone what information technology is, and that'll work likewise (information technology'll take until the stop of the quest to credit you for it).

You can also bear witness your laurels during the 'Goodness, Gracious, Great Balls of Granite!' quest, which can be found on a notice board, although if yous hear a man shouting about an art exhibition beingness closed, get to him to start it. During the quest, you'll find the stones the art curator is missing, just bring them dorsum to him and the game will deem you honorable.

In general, if you lot just keep your word with quest givers, then proving your honor should be no problem.

iv Proving Your Wisdom

For those who don't experience like playing a agglomeration of different quests to become the sword, yous're in luck, as wisdom is another virtue you can prove during 'The Warble of a Smitten Knight' quest. This is done by lifting Vivienne's curse, which you'll practise at the end of the quest.

Proving your wisdom can as well be done during the primary quest titled 'La Cage au Fou.' All you have to do is lift the Spotted Wight'due south curse, to do this, evidently choose to endeavor to lift the curse instead of attacking the creature, so make sure you both eat the meal WITHOUT using spoons. Subsequently, follow the olfactory property to find that the wight has at present become a woman again.

Lifting curses, solving puzzles, fugitive conflict through conversation, or winning the local Gwent tournament are the virtually common ways to show that yous're wise.

3 Proving Your Sympathy

If yous choose to bear witness your wisdom past lifting the spotted wight curse, you'll bring the one-time wight (now Marlene) back to Geralt's vineyard. Later on a couple of days you tin can talk to her, only ask her to stay at the vineyard, and that'll exist enough to bear witness y'all're sympathetic.

The Big Game Hunter quest (which can exist found on a notice board) gives yous another opportunity to bear witness your sympathy. Information technology'south a quest where you lot walk around with Count Beledal to spot animals. During information technology, yous'll come across two panthers with one stuck in a trap, make sure to use Axii on her, and and so free her. At the end of the quest, you lot can ask the Count'southward people if something was wrong with him, they'll tell you that his daughter is bedridden. Afterwards, the count volition return, and assuming you followed his instructions during the quest, he should invite y'all to a gathering he's having, take his invitation and nourish it the adjacent day. So when he talks to you at the gathering, brand sure to enquire about his daughter, that'll prove you possess sympathy.

If you are unsuccessful in those, then showing creatures mercy when given the chance will besides work.

ii Proving Your Generosity

The easiest way to testify that you're generous is by tipping the male child who gives y'all a letter from Triss or Yennefer. He'll be in Beauclair after the 'Blood Run' main quest, he's difficult to miss.

An as simple (albeit more expensive) manner to prove your generosity is during the main quest line when you meet a shoeshine male child. The kid will charge you 500 coins for information on Dettlaff, pay him what he asks without negotiating or using Axii, and you'll have shown that you're generous.

Some other easy one is in 'A Portrait of the Witcher as an One-time Man' quest where an artist paints Geralt's picture. At the end of the quest just simply buy the painting for 1000 coins.

If y'all miss those, just brand sure to reject any boosted coin you lot're offered and don't negotiate deals, and you'll certainly demonstrate generosity at some signal.

ane Terminal Battle

Subsequently proving y'all possess the v virtues, y'all must return to the hermit, and he will requite y'all one more challenge, crush him in boxing. Information technology's not the hardest of fights as virtually of his h2o attacks are easy to telegraph. And then as long as you lot're a like level to what the quest recommends, you should be fine. Once the Hermit is defeated, the Lady of the Lake will appear and give you the Aerondight sword.
