How to get Wolf School Witcher 3 Gear: Complete Guide

One of the best armor sets in Witcher 3, the Wolf Witcher gear is a medium armor set that provides excellent all-around bonuses. Like the other Witcher School gear sets, it can be crafted by using diagrams you find in the game.

Here’s a detailed walkthrough for obtaining every diagram for every upgrade level (basic, enhanced, superior, mastercrafted, and grandmaster) of the Wolven Witcher gear set.

We’ve included map locations for the Wolf armor, boots, gauntlets, trousers, silver sword, and steel sword diagrams. Start at the beginning if you’re obtaining the whole set, or look for the location of the specific armor or sword diagram you’re after.

Note: if you’re having trouble finding the chest with the diagrams, look for a Wolf Head symbol; this will give you a general area to search.

This symbol can be found at every Witcher gear diagram location; examining it will give you a highlighted area to look for the chest on your map.

Basic Wolf Gear Locations

Like the other witcher school gear sets, you have two options for finding the diagrams:

  1. Buy the wolf gear maps to start the Scavenger Hunt: Wolf School Gear quest
  2. Go directly to the diagram locations below to start the quest

Wolven Armor Location

Fast Travel to Kaer Morhen, and then go up the road to the old Signal Tower near Kaer Morhen castle. You will find a note inside a chest in the tower; read the note to start the quest for the basic wolf set.

Note: If you’re collecting the entire set right away, be sure to scroll down and find the locations for the Enhanced and Superior diagrams, because they’re also found in Kaer Morhen.

Use your witcher senses on the first level of the tower and activate the crystal on the wall with your Aard sign.

You will then also need to pick up the 2nd crystal by going back to the entrance of the tower and going through the hole in the wall. After this, activate the crystal, and jump into the portal. Here you can pick up the wolf armor diagrams.

The diagram for the wolven steel sword is found inside the Garrison to the west of Kaer Morhen.

The chest armor diagram is on the southern end of Ard Skellig, on top of the wooden ramparts surrounding a Harpy monster den. The silver sword diagram is inside a small abandoned hut on the side of a hill on the south-western part of Ard Skellig.

The chest armor diagram is on top of the ramparts; you will need to jump up to get here.

Superior Wolven Steel Sword Location

Inside a ruined fort on the bottom level, Hindarsfjall island (eastern Skellige Isles). The chest is in the top-left corner of the room. The room is filled with poison so you need to use your Igni sign to detonate it. Keep in mind that the poison comes back very quickly and that you need to use Igni several times to get to the chest.

Make sure to keep a safe distance when you use Igni or the explosion will damage you.

Superior Wolven Gauntlets, Trousers & Boots Location

All of the superior wolf diagrams are located in Kaer Morhen; Trousers in an old cave used for Witcher Trials to the northwest of the fortress (the chest is behind some breakable rocks); boots to the far east (follow the river to a cave); and gauntlets in an old iron mine, guarded by a level 30 Earth Elemental.

Mastercrafted Wolf Gear Locations

Mastercrafted Wolven Steel Sword & Armor Location

The Wolven steel sword is inside a sunken ship on the south-western end of Velen. It is located under the stairs to the hull of the ship. The Wolven armor is inside a small chest near the panther statue in far southern Velen.

Mastercrafted Wolven Trousers Location

At the old watchtower on Spikeroog Island (north-west Skellige Isles). It’s on a wall near the travel post, so you will need to climb up to get it.

Mastercrafted Wolven Boots Location

Behind a ruined tower on Undvik island in Skellige (south-west of map).

Mastercrafted Wolven Gauntlets Location

On Ard Skellig in the middle of the island. This area is guarded by a high-level Fiend (Morvudd) but you don’t actually have to kill him. Just walk around the side of the tower and look for the chest on the wall.

If you’re careful, you don’t need to fight Morvudd to get the gauntlets diagram.

Grandmaster Wolf Gear Locations

To upgrade your Wolf witcher gear to grandmaster,  talk to the Grandmaster Smith Lazare Lafargue in southern Beauclair to start the scavenger hunt quest or go straight to the diagram locations I list below.

Grandmaster Wolven Gear Location (All Diagrams)

All six of the Wolven grandmaster armor and weapon diagrams are found in a single location to the north of the Termes Palace Ruins in southern Toussaint. Start off by looting and reading the journal found at the archaeological campsite just to the east of the travel signpost.

grandmaster wolven gear quest

The journal will lead you to the ruins to the north. Here, you’ll need to loot the Purple Ruby from a nearby corpse and use it to activate the portal.

After fighting the monsters, look for the weak wall to break with Aard.

You’ll then find another weak wall that leads into a chamber that contains all six diagrams of the Grandmaster wolf set; 3 on the left side, and 3 on the right. You can now travel back to the Beauclair smith to craft the set; he also sells many of the required materials.
