In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, obtaining specialized witcher gear is essential for surviving the harsh realities of the Continent. The Feline Gear, also known as the Cat School set, is highly sought after by players who prefer a fast, high-damage playstyle centered around light armor and swift critical strikes. Tracking down these elusive diagrams requires completing specific scavenger hunts across the massive game world.
Finding the Core Armor Pieces in Novigrad
The journey to acquire the base diagrams for the Feline armor takes Geralt underneath the bustling city of Novigrad. Players must navigate to the cliffs underneath Temple Island where a hidden cave entrance awaits discovery behind an illusion. Using the Eye of Nehaleni unlocks the passage leading straight into a subterranean labyrinth filled with challenges.
Inside this cavernous area, a series of lever puzzles must be solved to unlock the innermost chamber. Defeating the corrupted witcher Mad Kiyan yields the vital crafting blueprints for the chest piece, gauntlets, trousers, and boots. Gathering these initial components forms the solid foundation for building a highly lethal agile combatant.
Locating the Cat School Armaments
To fully complete the primary armor set, players need to hunt down the accompanying weaponry scattered across the Velen region. The steel sword diagram is located within the ruins of Drahim Castle, tucked away safely inside the lower levels of the watchtower. A quick descent down the ladder reveals a chest containing this valuable physical combat blueprint.
The silver sword diagram requires a journey to the ruined lighthouse structure known as Est Tayiar. Exploring the subterranean tunnels underneath these ancient ruins reveals a weak wall that can be easily shattered using the Aard sign. Hidden inside the small alcove lies the blueprint needed to create your primary monster-slaying weapon.
Tracking the Feline Crossbow Diagram
Unlike many other witcher gear sets, the Cat School includes a specialized ranged option to supplement tactical engagements. The diagram for the Feline crossbow can be discovered off the isolated coast of Velen among the remains of a sunken vessel. Navigating the treacherous waters to reach the isolated island ruin known as Lornruk is required.
Once at the ruined fortress, players must infiltrate the structure either by scaling the outer walls or swimming through an underwater cave passage. The chest containing the crossbow blueprint sits near the top levels of the dilapidated fortification. Securing this piece marks the final step in completing the basic tier of this legendary equipment line.
