Look in description for a pic of the alchemy tree and whirl build version, also a FAQ. By the way, dang, that first episode of Witcher season 2 was smooth, right? Makes me want to replay this game again, but I'm waiting for that next-gen update.
Hey! I was just wondering? Is it possible to approach this just as well without new game +? I really like the build but i dont have NW+ and if so what is good to prio? Thanks again for the great video years later :)
@@PonchoGbriel hey there. I think the information in my description might answer that question, but let me know if you still have questions. It talks about the pillars of the build, what's important at lower levels, etc.
@@Ditronus. hi there! Is Hunter instinct bugged? I saw a video on yt and the guy showed that the skilla doesnt give 100% crit dmg, mayve 20 but not 100. + which decoction would yoh suggest for a fast attack build? Ekimmara + whaf? Hope you answer!
Still loving this build man, Like I almost can't even bring myself to try anyother builds since I found it. like the only other one i can do is for the wolf armor set, and its fun for a time, but when I just want to wreck sh*t, and/or I know I got a big boss fight coming up. switching to this build is my way to go, with Heavy attacks. The crits, the durability, and the ability to heal so well off of damage I think with skilled enough player can both out tank the tank builds, and out burst the whirl builds.
lol, potions and even more so decoctions add a ton of fun to the game. For example chuck down these when you enter a boss fight: Ekimmara decoction -damage dealt to foes generates vitality Ekhidna decoction -performing actions that consume stamina generates vitality Troll decoction -slowly regenerates vitality in and out of combat Then there's also a skill which increases your max vitality once your toxicity goes above the safe threshold
Oddly enough, the black veins face doesn't show if you use skill switching after popping decoctions (you can swap out the skills that increace max toxicity), and you end up at like, say, 250% toxicity (decoction toxicity doesn't damage you, so you can have more than 100%).
Just an update: this build still works in the complete edition and the latest patch, 1.6. Glad to see so many enjoying this video and the game. Cheers!
DitronusYou have a really good voice for this and I like the intro music of your videos (where the name Ditronus is showing). Good job and keep this up! Very informative for new Witcher 3 players.
Ditronus This build looks absolutely incredible. I want to use it my new death march play through. But I was wondering, is there a way to make this build viable with the Ursine Armor. Its my favourite armor in the game.
Just bought it and I would have never thought I'd buy a relic from a store. On my level 89 it's required as level 84 and 644-788. I crafted it for 1200, and it sells for 2755 lol
@@insbackdelspace5579 Im pretty sure the relic that you buy from the store is MUCH worse than the one you craft. The diagram for it is found in one of the hanse bases. You can see a video on it.
Mr. Awesome to be fair, he’s only super badass for a players perspective. In the books he got killed by a random, weak peasant shoving a pitchfork into his back. He’s extremely well trained in sword skills and monster knowledge, but it’s not like he’s super human. You’re right though, 10 Nekkars wouldn’t stand a chance
@@requiemjigo7753 Watching the interview with the showrunners I'm guessing you are right. Cavil pitched himself to them very early in the process saying he absolutely had to be the witcher....think he did the voice for them and all. That tells me he's more than likely played the games.
No need. Just travel back to Velen or novigrad. 1 shot kills and they scratch you on deathmarch. Gouls turn completely red from their bodies when i split them in half.
lightsidemaster Haha yeah, I was hoping I could fight him, but it makes for a much more believable story that there are creatures in the world that Geralt can't face; after all, all vampires are terrified of him. But still, between you and me, I think we could take him with this build haha.
Ditronus lol you're right it does make the story that much more believable. After all, no Witcher takes on a contract on a Higher Vampire, as for most Witchers that means death. And the Unseen Elders stand a great deal above the Higher Vampires, so yeah... it takes one hell of a strong person to defeat them :P No I think so too, if the story would allow it, this build could definitely finish the Unseen Elder xD That's one fight I'd LOVE to see haha
It's good there's some creatures even a witcher won't be able to handle. I doubt the higher vampire / unseen elder stands on a god level like Gaunter O'Dim but it's those kind of creatures that adds to the scary and yet magical side of the game.
The only problem of this build is that its so END GAME its basically Witcher 4. But to this day when someone asks me "What build should i use " i link them this video.
Great vid man. That's the build I've been using since day one. From my experience, the sad truth about this endgame build is that when you get to this point that you got enough points to unlock all the mutagens, you have already done everything. Main quest, sidequests, DLCs... Right now I'm level 78, all skill slots unlocked by the mutagens, and I just don't see where I can put my super op Geralt to good use.
That’s always been my biggest complaint about this game. Is that you can’t carry a level 100 into a brand new game and just blow everybody out. I’d be like playing on god mode.
@@jackshapiro4668 yeah I’m like 90% sure that’s true, I want to make this build before I go into new game plus so I can use it during my new game plus play through. I just don’t know if the grandmaster manticore armor will work with this build, because you don’t unlock legendary manticore armor until after you started new game plus.
My own builds became more refined on each playthrough leaning more and more towards alchemy. White raffard & thunderbolt are my favourite ;) .... Especially on Deathmarch signs become rather useless , so naturally you focus on dmg & critcal hits & learnign the enemies weakness. This is where it gets real & you start breathing the game^^ . The best experience is on ng+ where already have ability points & can focus on refining you build ;).
Sick build bro. I was using a very similiar build on my first DM playthrough except I was using the potion skill that allows you to have 100% up time on every single potion, but no decoctions. I might try this on NGP, thanks for sharing. Great job.
I have put up a new video (found in annotation/description) showing exactly where to find the Belhaven Blade. Many people needed to know, so hopefully this will be useful.
Sent you a PM but just in case you don't read those, I'll ask here, too... Your Euphoria maximum buff % is at 238.5% and I think mine is currently at 199.5% - what makes that maximum % increase/change? Gear? Skills? Character Level?
1. are you sure you already have all alchemy formula? 2. Manticore add max toxicity. 3. passive skill General "Metabolic Control" add 30 Max Toxic. character level does not matter
I would use this but i am only lvl 59 on NG+ and i dont even know where the hell you get those swords at! Also I made a second life mutation godmode glitch [much needed] it helps me beat the bias quest that oils/potions not good enough for. love this build though I thought [Tousaint Knight set] was absolute best in game cause I can't find anything worth traded it forr
Meme Dealer bro, I’ve been saying this for years about RPGs. There should be a Glamour Spell Quest we can go on to acquire the ability to keep the stats of any weapon or armor but make it look like our favorite weapon or armor!😉
Keep up the quality! Some nice gameplay then getting to the point without wasting time. Well cut so it feels professional. Great vids, this one made me sub.
Amazing build. Perfect now in the second playthrough as i'm going towards the third one that will be on highest difficulty. Thanks for sharing mate.^^ Kinda ironic how it provides such high damage but manages to add something to the gameplay at the same time. In most singleplayer games you get the best weapon and yea... that's about it. You just get strong af. I don't like that at all.
Thanks, I'm currently using the tank build similar to the one from Apex of War and it worked well against crowd. But throughout the normal NG, I played cat school and I like fast attack crit. It's nice to see this build because this is the playstyle that I like.
This is an excellent build, Ditronus. Very similar to the one I use on DM. An alternative Steel Sword option is the Tesham Mutna Steel Sword. It has similar effects to the Belhaven Blade. I just prefer having the stun effect in place without using runes for it. It does have 25% crit damage less, but the history of the sword made it worth it for me. Here are the stats: +150 Armor piercing +75% Critical hit damage bonus +15% Critical hit chance +15% Chance to cause bleeding +15% Chance to stun
I've tried your build today on a ng+ death march playthrough (midway through it, I started it at level 55 and I am at 70 now) and without using the same gear that you recommend but aerondight I can already tell this build is OP. Nothing on my level is a problem and I've been able to tackle enemies up to 20 levels above me with ease sometimes. Good video and nice job explaining the build!
@@electricatom2 well, for me since I have a monster sign build (with Griffin set and 4 blue mutagens you can literally win 90% without pulling out your sword) the best one is ekhidna. Works wonders with that build
Really cool build. The exact kind of thing i was looking for. Really in-depth, it allows for like a true adeventure of developing your character. Every little skill fleshes out the whole thint piece by piece. Im excited to just keep playing through this and get there.
dude your a freakin beast. just bought this game on christmas. and i have been addicted. hope to get this end game gear and abilities soon. im only lvl 15 so far.
Glad you're enjoying it. This game has certainly climbed to #1 on my favorite list during my time with it, and I've been playing games for over two decades.
excellent build, I was trying to come up with something like this, had already decided to use the manticore set as a base, but never got to it, congratz, great feat.
2020 still work WTF is this build, you don't even need the weapon, the stats build already make you invincible, keep sucking health like crazy while spinning like a beyblade at the same time.
Hey, viewers! Here's an intelligent build by a guy named Apex of War who understands this game very well. It's a build that focuses more on making Geralt an Immovable Object, shrugging off damage as it comes, rather than being a DPS powerhouse like my video. Most importantly, it uses the best-looking armor in the game--Ursine! Give it a look! ruclips.net/video/F9hDNpmHzWU/видео.html
It's impossible to get level 80 on non-ng+ with the way EXP rewards has diminishing returns. You need at to at least start a NG+. EXP rewards are substantially higher doing Blood and Wine quests.
This build is so OP! I don't have my entire skill tree activated yet or obtained the Manticore gear/specified swords, but I'm already slaying monsters 8+ levels above my Geraldt. Can't wait to have the full set in place
also is there a point to putting the same runewright on both swords, or can I put preservation on one and severance on the other to get both effects, I can't find info anywhere
I just viewed this video and that's exactly the build I have, interesting lol. Got to love that Alchemy + Fast Sword Attacks and with Euphoria my Signs are very powerful to, I've been using this build for awhile now and it's so effective. Great video!
I find the Fixative kind of a waste, things die so fast 50+ charges on oil is more than enough. I would switch that to protective coating, you get hit in the game even when trying hard no to get hit, 25% protection is a big chunk when you know how good "%" type effects are, making you more tanky which is turn even makes your regen/heal decoctions more powerful "indirectly". Good build tho~
That is a good and viable suggestion. I just love putting on hanged man's venom and forgetting about it, as humans eat up charges fast. This build certainly has room for modification to preference.
Ditronus, did you consider the mod that auto-applies oils? I find it nice once I've reached that point where I memorized most enemy types, so it started feeling more like a hassle than a nice little lore-challenge.
+Eli Harel Nah, I didn't. Mainly because I'm playing on PS4, haha. I plan on picking up a copy this coming Steam sale, though. Those cinematic shader mods look too good to pass up!
I'm only on level 8 and haven't touched the potions tree so far, just using my naked blades and signs and it's proven enough. I have 'gourmet' which is proving invaluable in terms of health regen during battle. Thanks for this detailed video and build description. I will keep it in mind as I gradually progress through the game and fight tougher opponents.
Let me know if anyone has questions. I tried hard to get footage of the biggest hits I could, but it was honestly hard because things died too fast, even at NG+ Death March at level 80+. I couldn't work up both 3 adrenaline points and 10 charges of Aerondight sometimes, and many things in my game were already killed testing out builds, so know that even what is shown in this video isn't the limit.
About the water hag 50% damage thing. I know exactly what you mean. I was playing around with my gear and sat on 7k silver DPS with nothing active. Popped thunderbolt, water hag, and katakan and it went up to 15k. reset potions and found out it was basically all water hag. Attack power is weird and doesnt just constitute a flat damage increase. Water hag is different because, as it says, its just 50% more damage, which is easily the most broken thing in the game. Now, I said I got it to work, now it doesnt. The only difference is that when it wasnt working, I was in Toussaint. When it was working, I was by the runewright in Velen. Maybe try out this build outside of toussaint and go for 200k + crits !
+Basically Godzilla Hah, very strange. You did specific testing for this outside and inside Toussaint, full HP and everything? My problem is there aren't creatures strong enough to withstand my damage in my game outside Toussaint! Seriously, I can't build my adrenalin to three and get 10 charges before all the enemies die in the encounter, even in DM NG+lv80. I cleared out too much stuff before Blood and Wine came along, so there's nothing but randomly spawning trash. Even the toughest enemies die fast (as you saw that arch-Griffin); I might just leave it up to folks like you to test it. I'm sure someone on the internet will give it a try and people will flock to that video. In my case, I've never found Water Hag to work for me. There are things that are just mysterious in this game.
Can you let me know where to find the Belhaven Blade? I tried googling with no success. I love the Aeondight but need a better steel sword. I'm definitely trying this build when I do NG+.
In the description, bud. I think it's eastern Toussaint from a quest I forget what it's called. A treasure hunt. The description has some more details.
Hi Ditronus, great build, but just a few ideas to make it more versatile or even stronger: - is Fixative not just a skill für the lazy ones, as you can refresh oils after every 60 attacks on your blades? - are there no better choices then Tissue Transmutation - 1.000 extra HP is not that necessary? - wouldn't be Flood of Anger a good choice to make this build more versatile (and would add another 15% attack power)? - why not Delusion? Ok doesn't make Geralt stronger, but adds tons of dialogue options and at least one additional level. - Poisoined Blades - at least I don't see that much synergy with the rest of the build, and are there really that many needs for additional poison damage? - why not spending some points for Quen? As melee build Quen could make life much easier! I would think about placing Quen, Delusion and the 2 general skills in the 4 middle slots, go for 180% attack power and skip the 900 extra vitality. Btw. a screen of the your Alchemy Tree would be very helpfull in your video.
Doing this build on NG+ Death March. While I have to be careful about getting hit, I am cruising through the game comfortably with this build, enemies die like I'm on Just The Story! very good build, and you did a good job explaining it with this video. Only 1 problem: the Belhaven sword seems to be a random drop, and does not necessarily appear in the location you suggested.
tried this build today for the 1st time although i did variations with feline set in the past. really fun, high skill cap, engaging, interactive. pretty cool. swapped a couple alchemy stuff around and a couple combat ones but the premise is the same and the gear is the same. i did ekhimara ekhidna water hag (instead of arch griffin but you can do either depending on whether you focus fast or strong attacks) + thunderbolt + maribor + tawny and its pretty enjoyable to play. nice break from grandmaster griffin 6/6 set quen > yrden > igni spam xD
Do you get the legendary set in new game plus? Because saw a video just now and to get the legendary set is the same progress I went trough for the normal set I'm level 43 and haven't gone through new game plus yet
I always loved going with the alchemy skill! Now I am glad that the potions and alchemy skill will be a great pay off! :) Also damn your voice! You could read me bedtime stories and would fall asleep after you've finished sentence: Once upon a time! xD
This game is so grate that even thought I've played this game 2 years ago im still having allot of fun....all i did was rest for a few moths of playing this game then come back at it again, it feels like an all new experience all over again
put on dm & enemy scaling & if you still dont die you can call it easy ...Personally made it without dying to the expansions ... but then the lvl kinda rises so I died a couple of times in the expansion :D like these exploding super drowners caught me off guard and stuff^^( since they 1 hit you on dm) .... if Im going to replay this game Ill be sure to try getting through without dying & using a similar build ;)
Yes I do have enemy scaling on.Actually those drowners and other necrophages are sometimes more difficult to kill than the bosses except the toad and shaelmaar.
Honestly I find this build to be extremely taxing on your alcohol. If you want just concentrate on signs such as aard. Biting frost aard is soo effective against soo many opponents and just wrecks opponents left and right.
+Josh Estipona Alcohol isn't a problem as long as you loot. I just got to Kaer Morhen on my first plsuthrough and I have 800+ Dwarven Spirits with 350+ Alcohest.
Hey there - I found a the Toussaint Knight's steel sword that does +100% Crit damage and +20% Crit Chance. For me this sword is better level 60 and below? I think the Belhaven blade depends when you pick it up? Also, the new moon chest piece gives an extra 20% crit damage and 5% crit hit chance....I think the 5% chance is better. Both of those combined will have crit chance !0% higher when using steel.
I have pretty much the same build but use G. mastercrafted Wolfen armor. Tesha Mutna was a cake piece on the beach park walk day. Manticore Armor just doesn't look as cool to me. My absolute favorite moments were at Count de la Croix's Mill, spinning through enemies before Regis or Detlaff could get to them & Detlaff's heart chamber where I could slice at the hearts & his blood avatar at the same time. [ Gotta love Severance ] If you take enough chem abilities like you listed you can hallucinate your way to victory easy. I'd probably follow your way on Broken Bones though. Nice Vid, like the beat. You must've laughed when you got that arrow dodge on record. "They smear your ass w/honey yet, hero ?"
with every video and word someone post or says there's some trash talking or criticism they can't help them selfs And sorry this is late but i use this on new game plus so it don't get boring ty for the set up bro
All Hail The Cart lord, thanks man! I'm glad the video is getting coverage. I'm pretty sure I was the first to create and publish a build with this playstyle and power, but I'm also sure others have created better iterations of it, too, since I made this video over a year ago (time flies). Long-live Witcher 3, one of the best games ever!
Are the dps numbers in the inventory screen accurate? When I swap out my feline set with the pieces in your video the dps number decreases. Also in combat when I watch the numbers they are lower except for the critical hits of course. So single hit damage is definitely higher but is the actual damage per second in real combat situations really higher than when using the feline set? Also I am not on NG+ yet.
Just wanted to add that I done little testing and on my current build with all the gear you reccomnded I swapped out for 4 piece feline set to test attack power vs Crit damage and toxicity. I did test by engaging in combat to activate Euphoria, and killed 2 mobs to get 100% crit chance up. From there I tested DPS with max toxicity withing 1-2 points max. The feline with attack power was about 800 dps more for both base crit and 100% crit comparison. Meaning the attack power scales better with this build then the critical damage does. Just thought I'd share my findings as it is just a minimial difference but if you are looking to min/max a build then it is slightly better to favor attack power. I would even think it might be more dps to drop the 30 toxicity from general to activate another 15% attack power from a Red, however I have not tested this yet.
Just showing possibilities. But why shouldn't I be that strong after putting 200 hours into a character? In any RPG there's a power curve you climb along; usually the more time you put into it, the stronger you become. It was surely challenging enough up to a good point in Witcher 3. Playing through Death's March at launch was rough!
+Ditronus You're right, I do agree that the more you play and get ahead in a game the better/stronger you should become, and your build is fair, doesn't involve glitches of any type. The thing is: you don't really have to be that advanced in the game in order to get a build like that going. Sure you won't have the best gear, so you won't be doing 100k crits like you here, but the main perks, the build core I would say, could be made considerably earlier in the game (talking about level 40+). The rest would be complements to the main thing. With that said, the player has the possibility of being that OP during a great part of the game, and that could ruin the experience in my opinion. But please keep in mind that I'm not criticizing you or your video, my comment wasn't meant for you specifically, but for players in general. I'm just putting up an observation 😉 (btw nice video, it's really interesting to know that you can create a build like that and become goddy).
Good points. You can do this build at the core, not as optimized or developed, at earlier levels. Yet, I do think the game can be challenging at death march, just not as challenging, sure.Things become dramatically harder when the enemies out level you, but at level 80, one must turn on "upscale enemies" to make them any bit of an adversary. Glad the video was entertaining.
Let's be real here....who the hell plays an RPG like this after you've done everything? Like...what are you gonna do? Go fight some city guards? Oh my, what a badass. Borinnnnggggggg
It's on New Game Plus and he's only level 80, I'm guessing he hasn't finished everything yet. I'm level 45 still on my first play through. Plus he might just like making helpful videos for people.
TheGusBus97 You are completely missing the point here. I was level 59 when I finished everything. And that's what I'm saying. Who needs end game builds. Who plays more than 1 run through of a game this immersive to be more exact.
hi,im not sure if is this new or old info,but i have found exp. glitch in 1.24.Skellige isles-Redgill when u go up,is there spot where is Cyclopses.After u kill him just go back and use "fast travel" anywhere.Go back on redgill and cyclopses gonna be there again.Dont use meditation becouse after that on that road gonna respawn Harpies :-)
Hi. Is the new moon pants vital to this build? I'm torn between following you and keeping my Wolf School trousers who give me more slots for Quen intensity and adds quite the % in elemental resistance. (it's the only 0% in my main resistances otherwise)
Nice guide. But the best steel sword is Toussaint KNIGHT Steel Sword. It's a bit higher attack than Belhaven Blade, same 100% crit dmg, 20% crit chance, 15% burning chance, 300 armor piercing, and 30% quen intensity. You can get the diagram by defeating the Hanse base boss at the very north of the Toussaint world map.
Bear school gear for monsters and Toussaint knight's tourney gear for humans (we need to 75% resist for all non-monster damage) Take 25% resist from skill (oil on sword) - it stacks with gear resists That's it. Full resist to all enemies. It works on the latest version. With your gear you take a huge damage and can be one-shotted. With my gear I can kill any enemies (even with much higher lvl than Geralt) easily without dodge
Hey! Quick question if you don't mind answering: How do you heal when striking? I'm new to the game, been playing Deathmarch and 've had a lot of trouble with health management hehe
This build allows you to stack potions and decoctions and reap their benefits. Two of those decoctions you should make use of are the ekimmara and ekhidna; there's where your HP regeneration comes from. One is a life regen based on the amount of damage you do and the other is based on stamina consumption that synergizes well with the archgriffon decoction. Check out the potion/decoction part of the video for more help. Hopefully you enjoy the game!
It's probably been said before but, for late game silver swords that have crit chance and crit damage I would recommend Ami (Levelled loot from 'Tufo Monster' contract) or Cantata (levelled? loot during 'What lies unseen' main quest AKA 'bad ending'). Both have +15% crit chance & +75% crit hit damage. Likewise for steel swords: Toussaint steel sword (crafted) or Hen Gaidth steel sword (levelled loot in beginning of Unseen Elder cave. Need to get stone key during 'blood simple' quest and can obtain after main quest line. Can get after 'good' or 'bad' ending). Both have +15% crit chance & +75% crit hit damage.
Forgive my lack of understanding of NG+ mechanics. Actually Toussaint Steel sword might not be viable if you started NG+ above level 52 as it would have a level requirement of >100. So the max level to begin NG+ and still be able to use Belhaven blade and Gesheft would be lvl 55 as they have a lvl req of 45 in the base game.

@@talisredstar1543 ok
Getting to level 31 with just my swords and bread to keep me alive. I always wondered what the hell toxicity was haha.
Coked Up Krabs haha true
this, i had to look it up and the effects, then i realised i should probably use more pots and decos
lol
Lvl 60 on blood march new game+ before I decided to use a potion of clearance and respec into alchemy
lol, potions and even more so decoctions add a ton of fun to the game. For example chuck down these when you enter a boss fight:
Ekimmara decoction -damage dealt to foes generates vitality
Ekhidna decoction -performing actions that consume stamina generates vitality
Troll decoction -slowly regenerates vitality in and out of combat
Then there's also a skill which increases your max vitality once your toxicity goes above the safe threshold
Toxicity:
Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Makes Geralt look gnarly during cutscenes
When I killed the final boss main story let's just Geralt looked terrifying
Lmao
It was that way for me with the Triss cutscene... After now or never.
Yes fam only thing i hate.
Oddly enough, the black veins face doesn't show if you use skill switching after popping decoctions (you can swap out the skills that increace max toxicity), and you end up at like, say, 250% toxicity (decoction toxicity doesn't damage you, so you can have more than 100%).
Just an update: this build still works in the complete edition and the latest patch, 1.6. Glad to see so many enjoying this video and the game. Cheers!

Best Steel Sword now, is "toussaint knight steel sword". 385-471DPS, 48lvl req.
300 armor piercing, 30% quen, 100% crit dmg bonus, 20% crit, 15% burning,
Belhaven blade is 364-444dps. 5 % less crit and 30% aard instead of quen.

@@albinmathew1421 it was just a joke ffs, ur taking this too seriously.
He is not a butcher
quick someone show this build to henry cavil, so he can be OP on netflix
My biggest gripe with the show is how average he is. Geralt is too bad ass to get bested by a Nekker
Mr. Awesome to be fair, he’s only super badass for a players perspective. In the books he got killed by a random, weak peasant shoving a pitchfork into his back. He’s extremely well trained in sword skills and monster knowledge, but it’s not like he’s super human. You’re right though, 10 Nekkars wouldn’t stand a chance
Pretty sure he knows. He's a nerd
@@requiemjigo7753 Watching the interview with the showrunners I'm guessing you are right. Cavil pitched himself to them very early in the process saying he absolutely had to be the witcher....think he did the voice for them and all. That tells me he's more than likely played the games.
Silver Cruloc he’s play the games and read the books :)

imagine having this build on the lowest difficulty
No need. Just travel back to Velen or novigrad. 1 shot kills and they scratch you on deathmarch. Gouls turn completely red from their bodies when i split them in half.
TheLegand27 might kill monsters by walking over them by accident
At that point everyone would just die by just staring at geralt
and imagine you use console commands in top of that lol
@@insbackdelspace5579 Don't you play with enemy levels upscaled? Scrub.
We should totally be able to kill the Unseen Elder with a build like this!!!!
lightsidemaster Haha yeah, I was hoping I could fight him, but it makes for a much more believable story that there are creatures in the world that Geralt can't face; after all, all vampires are terrified of him. But still, between you and me, I think we could take him with this build haha.
Ditronus
lol you're right it does make the story that much more believable.
After all, no Witcher takes on a contract on a Higher Vampire, as for most Witchers that means death.
And the Unseen Elders stand a great deal above the Higher Vampires, so yeah... it takes one hell of a strong person to defeat them :P
No I think so too, if the story would allow it, this build could definitely finish the Unseen Elder xD
That's one fight I'd LOVE to see haha
It's good there's some creatures even a witcher won't be able to handle. I doubt the higher vampire / unseen elder stands on a god level like Gaunter O'Dim but it's those kind of creatures that adds to the scary and yet magical side of the game.
Imagine if Unseen elder, flies, Geralt has no highly damaging air attacks and he can't jump, GG CC 15

Yes but I find piercing cold really fun to use.
The only problem of this build is that its so END GAME its basically Witcher 4. But to this day when someone asks me "What build should i use " i link them this video.
Haha thanks. I can't wait for that game, but cyberpunk will hopefully hold me off!
Nice avatar, btw
Just like to say that you sound like Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. Great build.
I kept waiting for him to say, "You like Huey Lewis and the News?"
I just got my northern wind up to the installation freeze chance to insta kill, it's so op
Great vid man. That's the build I've been using since day one. From my experience, the sad truth about this endgame build is that when you get to this point that you got enough points to unlock all the mutagens, you have already done everything. Main quest, sidequests, DLCs... Right now I'm level 78, all skill slots unlocked by the mutagens, and I just don't see where I can put my super op Geralt to good use.
It's true. CD needs to add a rifts in this game! :)
That’s always been my biggest complaint about this game. Is that you can’t carry a level 100 into a brand new game and just blow everybody out. I’d be like playing on god mode.
Apparently there’s no ng++ is that true?
@@jackshapiro4668 yeah I’m like 90% sure that’s true, I want to make this build before I go into new game plus so I can use it during my new game plus play through. I just don’t know if the grandmaster manticore armor will work with this build, because you don’t unlock legendary manticore armor until after you started new game plus.
Man this guy understands ;) . Awesome subbed
My own builds became more refined on each playthrough leaning more and more towards alchemy. White raffard & thunderbolt are my favourite ;) ....
Especially on Deathmarch signs become rather useless , so naturally you focus on dmg & critcal hits & learnign the enemies weakness.
This is where it gets real & you start breathing the game^^ .
The best experience is on ng+ where already have ability points & can focus on refining you build ;).
Signs are legit even if you don't spec points into signs at all, git gud Medy
Exellent work, man! You had explained it BETTER than anyone else! Thumbs up ^_^ ...and thank you for your hard work **bow**
Thanks! Always nice to see encouragement.
Sick build bro. I was using a very similiar build on my first DM playthrough except I was using the potion skill that allows you to have 100% up time on every single potion, but no decoctions. I might try this on NGP, thanks for sharing. Great job.
I've been searching and searching and searching for my new game plus build. I found it. Thank you
Who’s here in damn near 2020 thanks to Netflix The Witcher?
Indeed, started replaying it again.
i know a guy nezig ghoul
Me three
I‘m here...
Yup me too
Jesus,video should've been titled instead: "Turning Geralt into a Dynasty Warrior."
Im so glad I decided to get into this game finally! Truly a masterpiece
Right there with ya. Love finding a great game I missed. Especially considering it cost less than $10 for (currently) 170 hours. Can't beat
i still keep coming back to this video to re-evaluate my build
I have put up a new video (found in annotation/description) showing exactly where to find the Belhaven Blade. Many people needed to know, so hopefully this will be useful.
Can you put in the description where to find the rest of the gear if possuble? :)
Sent you a PM but just in case you don't read those, I'll ask here, too...
Your Euphoria maximum buff % is at 238.5% and I think mine is currently at 199.5% - what makes that maximum % increase/change? Gear? Skills? Character Level?
1. are you sure you already have all alchemy formula?
2. Manticore add max toxicity.
3. passive skill General "Metabolic Control" add 30 Max Toxic.
character level does not matter
+SκiLLCαpped You can get a good maority of the gear.
I would use this but i am only lvl 59 on NG+ and i dont even know where the hell you get those swords at! Also I made a second life mutation godmode glitch [much needed] it helps me beat the bias quest that oils/potions not good enough for. love this build though I thought [Tousaint Knight set] was absolute best in game cause I can't find anything worth traded it forr
I wish there was a way to refashion gear and make it look like another armor set :(
Me too
Nah.

Meme Dealer bro, I’ve been saying this for years about RPGs. There should be a Glamour Spell Quest we can go on to acquire the ability to keep the stats of any weapon or armor but make it look like our favorite weapon or armor!😉

BomZ Paulbro m
I got so adicted to this build I was never able to play another one.
Amazing build. Perfect now in the second playthrough as i'm going towards the third one that will be on highest difficulty. Thanks for sharing mate.^^ Kinda ironic how it provides such high damage but manages to add something to the gameplay at the same time. In most singleplayer games you get the best weapon and yea... that's about it. You just get strong af. I don't like that at all.
Thanks, I'm currently using the tank build similar to the one from Apex of War and it worked well against crowd. But throughout the normal NG, I played cat school and I like fast attack crit. It's nice to see this build because this is the playstyle that I like.
You have a great Mic Voice, and pronounciation, sounds like Television or Radio Station 👍🏼😇
Great video, thank you! BTW, your verbal delivery is excellent. Real professional broadcasting. Cheers!
I'm not sure why, but this music combined with the ridiculously OP slaughter happening made me urinate myself while laughing.
This is an excellent build, Ditronus. Very similar to the one I use on DM. An alternative Steel Sword option is the Tesham Mutna Steel Sword. It has similar effects to the Belhaven Blade. I just prefer having the stun effect in place without using runes for it. It does have 25% crit damage less, but the history of the sword made it worth it for me. Here are the stats:
+150 Armor piercing
+75% Critical hit damage bonus
+15% Critical hit chance
+15% Chance to cause bleeding
+15% Chance to stun
I also reached level 81, these games is to good :(, i can't stop playing these.
I've tried your build today on a ng+ death march playthrough (midway through it, I started it at level 55 and I am at 70 now) and without using the same gear that you recommend but aerondight I can already tell this build is OP. Nothing on my level is a problem and I've been able to tackle enemies up to 20 levels above me with ease sometimes. Good video and nice job explaining the build!
Hopefully the build is fun, too! I'm glad you've made use of it.
You've got to kill a doppler thou :(
So sad that the most harmless monsters give you most powerful decoctions.
Not really.
The best decoctions are Archgriffin Ekhidna Ekkimmara Nekker Warrior Leshen.
All of them are pretty deadly monsters.
@@arhamsaa the best one for me is chort decoction u will be amazed how easy enemy is to beat when they cant stun your defense

Really cool build. The exact kind of thing i was looking for. Really in-depth, it allows for like a true adeventure of developing your character. Every little skill fleshes out the whole thint piece by piece. Im excited to just keep playing through this and get there.
The nickname "Butcher of Blaviken" makes a lot of sense now.
dude your a freakin beast. just bought this game on christmas. and i have been addicted. hope to get this end game gear and abilities soon. im only lvl 15 so far.
Glad you're enjoying it. This game has certainly climbed to #1 on my favorite list during my time with it, and I've been playing games for over two decades.
It sounds like the Bottomless Carafe is a “must have” for this build
excellent build, I was trying to come up with something like this, had already decided to use the manticore set as a base, but never got to it, congratz, great feat.
2020 still work
WTF is this build, you don't even need the weapon, the stats build already make you invincible, keep sucking health like crazy while spinning like a beyblade at the same time.
Just picked up this game. This video gets me excited for whats to come.
Enjoy every second of it. It has become one of my favorite games ever, and I've been playing games for over 20 years.
Hey, viewers! Here's an intelligent build by a guy named Apex of War who understands this game very well. It's a build that focuses more on making Geralt an Immovable Object, shrugging off damage as it comes, rather than being a DPS powerhouse like my video. Most importantly, it uses the best-looking armor in the game--Ursine! Give it a look! ruclips.net/video/F9hDNpmHzWU/видео.html
Do you have any builds or recommendations for pre-NG+?
I appreciate it Ditronus. I have returned the favor. Best DPS-maxing build available here.
+Valdonkis Yes, give my description a look. If you still have more questions after that, let me know.
How many playthroughs does it take to reach level 80?
It's impossible to get level 80 on non-ng+ with the way EXP rewards has diminishing returns. You need at to at least start a NG+. EXP rewards are substantially higher doing Blood and Wine quests.
This build is so OP! I don't have my entire skill tree activated yet or obtained the Manticore gear/specified swords, but I'm already slaying monsters 8+ levels above my Geraldt. Can't wait to have the full set in place
also is there a point to putting the same runewright on both swords, or can I put preservation on one and severance on the other to get both effects, I can't find info anywhere
I just viewed this video and that's exactly the build I have, interesting lol. Got to love that Alchemy + Fast Sword Attacks and with Euphoria my Signs are very powerful to, I've been using this build for awhile now and it's so effective. Great video!
I find the Fixative kind of a waste, things die so fast 50+ charges on oil is more than enough. I would switch that to protective coating, you get hit in the game even when trying hard no to get hit, 25% protection is a big chunk when you know how good "%" type effects are, making you more tanky which is turn even makes your regen/heal decoctions more powerful "indirectly". Good build tho~
That is a good and viable suggestion. I just love putting on hanged man's venom and forgetting about it, as humans eat up charges fast. This build certainly has room for modification to preference.
Ditronus, did you consider the mod that auto-applies oils? I find it nice once I've reached that point where I memorized most enemy types, so it started feeling more like a hassle than a nice little lore-challenge.
+Eli Harel Nah, I didn't. Mainly because I'm playing on PS4, haha. I plan on picking up a copy this coming Steam sale, though. Those cinematic shader mods look too good to pass up!
I'm only on level 8 and haven't touched the potions tree so far, just using my naked blades and signs and it's proven enough. I have 'gourmet' which is proving invaluable in terms of health regen during battle.
Thanks for this detailed video and build description. I will keep it in mind as I gradually progress through the game and fight tougher opponents.
Awesome opening sequence! I'm very grateful you made this info video. 👍👍
Let me know if anyone has questions. I tried hard to get footage of the biggest hits I could, but it was honestly hard because things died too fast, even at NG+ Death March at level 80+. I couldn't work up both 3 adrenaline points and 10 charges of Aerondight sometimes, and many things in my game were already killed testing out builds, so know that even what is shown in this video isn't the limit.
About the water hag 50% damage thing. I know exactly what you mean. I was playing around with my gear and sat on 7k silver DPS with nothing active. Popped thunderbolt, water hag, and katakan and it went up to 15k. reset potions and found out it was basically all water hag. Attack power is weird and doesnt just constitute a flat damage increase. Water hag is different because, as it says, its just 50% more damage, which is easily the most broken thing in the game.
Now, I said I got it to work, now it doesnt. The only difference is that when it wasnt working, I was in Toussaint. When it was working, I was by the runewright in Velen. Maybe try out this build outside of toussaint and go for 200k + crits !
+Basically Godzilla Hah, very strange. You did specific testing for this outside and inside Toussaint, full HP and everything? My problem is there aren't creatures strong enough to withstand my damage in my game outside Toussaint! Seriously, I can't build my adrenalin to three and get 10 charges before all the enemies die in the encounter, even in DM NG+lv80. I cleared out too much stuff before Blood and Wine came along, so there's nothing but randomly spawning trash. Even the toughest enemies die fast (as you saw that arch-Griffin); I might just leave it up to folks like you to test it. I'm sure someone on the internet will give it a try and people will flock to that video. In my case, I've never found Water Hag to work for me. There are things that are just mysterious in this game.
Can you let me know where to find the Belhaven Blade? I tried googling with no success. I love the Aeondight but need a better steel sword. I'm definitely trying this build when I do NG+.
In the description, bud. I think it's eastern Toussaint from a quest I forget what it's called. A treasure hunt. The description has some more details.
+Ditronus Thanks!
Hi Ditronus,
great build, but just a few ideas to make it more versatile or even stronger:
- is Fixative not just a skill für the lazy ones, as you can refresh oils after every 60 attacks on your blades?
- are there no better choices then Tissue Transmutation - 1.000 extra HP is not that necessary?
- wouldn't be Flood of Anger a good choice to make this build more versatile (and would add another 15% attack power)?
- why not Delusion? Ok doesn't make Geralt stronger, but adds tons of dialogue options and at least one additional level.
- Poisoined Blades - at least I don't see that much synergy with the rest of the build, and are there really that many needs for additional poison damage?
- why not spending some points for Quen? As melee build Quen could make life much easier!
I would think about placing Quen, Delusion and the 2 general skills in the 4 middle slots, go for 180% attack power and skip the 900 extra vitality.
Btw. a screen of the your Alchemy Tree would be very helpfull in your video.
Doing this build on NG+ Death March. While I have to be careful about getting hit, I am cruising through the game comfortably with this build, enemies die like I'm on Just The Story! very good build, and you did a good job explaining it with this video. Only 1 problem: the Belhaven sword seems to be a random drop, and does not necessarily appear in the location you suggested.
The location he mentions provides the diagram for the Bellhaven sword. You have to go craft it :)
0:16 that stairway doe... :O
tried this build today for the 1st time although i did variations with feline set in the past. really fun, high skill cap, engaging, interactive. pretty cool. swapped a couple alchemy stuff around and a couple combat ones but the premise is the same and the gear is the same. i did ekhimara ekhidna water hag (instead of arch griffin but you can do either depending on whether you focus fast or strong attacks) + thunderbolt + maribor + tawny and its pretty enjoyable to play. nice break from grandmaster griffin 6/6 set quen > yrden > igni spam xD
There is always that ONE guy who takes it too far
Finishing Blood and Wine right now with this build. Best build ever. Really enjoying this playstyle.
Do you get the legendary set in new game plus? Because saw a video just now and to get the legendary set is the same progress I went trough for the normal set I'm level 43 and haven't gone through new game plus yet

This game is so grate that even thought I've played this game 2 years ago im still having allot of fun....all i did was rest for a few moths of playing this game then come back at it again, it feels like an all new experience all over again
Witcher 3 is quite easy on DM and this kind of OP build will make the game boring imo. Nice build anyways.
put on dm & enemy scaling & if you still dont die you can call it easy ...Personally made it without dying to the expansions ... but then the lvl kinda rises so I died a couple of times in the expansion :D like these exploding super drowners caught me off guard and stuff^^( since they 1 hit you on dm) .... if Im going to replay this game Ill be sure to try getting through without dying & using a similar build ;)
Yes I do have enemy scaling on.Actually those drowners and other necrophages are sometimes more difficult to kill than the bosses except the toad and shaelmaar.
Honestly I find this build to be extremely taxing on your alcohol. If you want just concentrate on signs such as aard. Biting frost aard is soo effective against soo many opponents and just wrecks opponents left and right.
+Josh Estipona Alcohol isn't a problem as long as you loot. I just got to Kaer Morhen on my first plsuthrough and I have 800+ Dwarven Spirits with 350+ Alcohest.
+Solomon I was understand but I'd rather not rely on alcohol soo much especially for every encounter.
Homie the whole way you presented this video and that voice over had me thinking you had 100k+ subscribers
does anyone else barely use potions? i just use swallow and sometimes tawny owl
Hey there - I found a the Toussaint Knight's steel sword that does +100% Crit damage and +20% Crit Chance. For me this sword is better level 60 and below? I think the Belhaven blade depends when you pick it up? Also, the new moon chest piece gives an extra 20% crit damage and 5% crit hit chance....I think the 5% chance is better. Both of those combined will have crit chance !0% higher when using steel.
When you craft it, it will scale on your level. But yeah Toussaint Knight Steel is way better its updated gear than this
I wish he showed his alchemy tree so i can see what points he put in
I have pretty much the same build but use G. mastercrafted Wolfen armor. Tesha Mutna was a cake piece on the beach park walk day. Manticore Armor just doesn't look as cool to me. My absolute favorite moments were at Count de la Croix's Mill, spinning through enemies before Regis or Detlaff could get to them & Detlaff's heart chamber where I could slice at the hearts & his blood avatar at the same time. [ Gotta love Severance ] If you take enough chem abilities like you listed you can hallucinate your way to victory easy. I'd probably follow your way on Broken Bones though. Nice Vid, like the beat. You must've laughed when you got that arrow dodge on record.

this is a end game build,now you should find a lower level build like this one: ruclips.net/video/CbOAhhVHi-k/видео.html
Yo, you were in PC Gamer. www.pcgamer.com/the-craziest-dps-builds-of-all-time/ Currently notifying everyone else that got featured.
All Hail The Cart lord, thanks man! I'm glad the video is getting coverage. I'm pretty sure I was the first to create and publish a build with this playstyle and power, but I'm also sure others have created better iterations of it, too, since I made this video over a year ago (time flies).
Long-live Witcher 3, one of the best games ever!
Are the dps numbers in the inventory screen accurate? When I swap out my
feline set with the pieces in your video the dps number decreases. Also in
combat when I watch the numbers they are lower except for the critical
hits of course. So single hit damage is definitely higher but is the
actual damage per second in real combat situations really higher than
when using the feline set? Also I am not on NG+ yet.
Square look at the crit damage
Should be called "The Butcher" build..
What glyphs you used?
woohoo i'm subscriber number 1500 :D great guide mate :P enjoyable voice :) keep it up
Ill just stay with my wolven set
Same here
Just wanted to add that I done little testing and on my current build with all the gear you reccomnded I swapped out for 4 piece feline set to test attack power vs Crit damage and toxicity. I did test by engaging in combat to activate Euphoria, and killed 2 mobs to get 100% crit chance up. From there I tested DPS with max toxicity withing 1-2 points max. The feline with attack power was about 800 dps more for both base crit and 100% crit comparison. Meaning the attack power scales better with this build then the critical damage does. Just thought I'd share my findings as it is just a minimial difference but if you are looking to min/max a build then it is slightly better to favor attack power. I would even think it might be more dps to drop the 30 toxicity from general to activate another 15% attack power from a Red, however I have not tested this yet.
So good it lags!!!
Hi Ditronus!
Great detailed stuff. Seems it works as well.
Thank you for your hard work.
Glad it helped!
Broken. Why would you want to play like that? I honestly dont get it. But I know you were just making a video
Just showing possibilities. But why shouldn't I be that strong after putting 200 hours into a character? In any RPG there's a power curve you climb along; usually the more time you put into it, the stronger you become. It was surely challenging enough up to a good point in Witcher 3. Playing through Death's March at launch was rough!
+Ditronus You're right, I do agree that the more you play and get ahead in a game the better/stronger you should become, and your build is fair, doesn't involve glitches of any type. The thing is: you don't really have to be that advanced in the game in order to get a build like that going. Sure you won't have the best gear, so you won't be doing 100k crits like you here, but the main perks, the build core I would say, could be made considerably earlier in the game (talking about level 40+). The rest would be complements to the main thing. With that said, the player has the possibility of being that OP during a great part of the game, and that could ruin the experience in my opinion. But please keep in mind that I'm not criticizing you or your video, my comment wasn't meant for you specifically, but for players in general. I'm just putting up an observation 😉 (btw nice video, it's really interesting to know that you can create a build like that and become goddy).
Good points. You can do this build at the core, not as optimized or developed, at earlier levels. Yet, I do think the game can be challenging at death march, just not as challenging, sure.Things become dramatically harder when the enemies out level you, but at level 80, one must turn on "upscale enemies" to make them any bit of an adversary. Glad the video was entertaining.
+Ditronus In the video you changed from all your fast attack skills to strong attack skills. How did you do that?. I can return my ability points!?
well, pretty much any build using alchemy tree is extremely overpowered... they should add 5th difficulty level, to be honest...
These guys with smaller subs, sure blew up with the witcher 3 vids. Great game.
Witcher series promote being toxic. :v
Well this comment is two years late but I’m seeing this video for the first time. Just had to say I love this build!

btw. sry for my eng. and ofc this is on NG+
Great video, btw what bowgun are you using?
Hi. Is the new moon pants vital to this build? I'm torn between following you and keeping my Wolf School trousers who give me more slots for Quen intensity and adds quite the % in elemental resistance. (it's the only 0% in my main resistances otherwise)
Nice guide. But the best steel sword is Toussaint KNIGHT Steel Sword. It's a bit higher attack than Belhaven Blade, same 100% crit dmg, 20% crit chance, 15% burning chance, 300 armor piercing, and 30% quen intensity. You can get the diagram by defeating the Hanse base boss at the very north of the Toussaint world map.
This is solid was looking for a great Witcher build.
Bear school gear for monsters and Toussaint knight's tourney gear for humans (we need to 75% resist for all non-monster damage)
Take 25% resist from skill (oil on sword) - it stacks with gear resists
That's it. Full resist to all enemies. It works on the latest version.
With your gear you take a huge damage and can be one-shotted. With my gear I can kill any enemies (even with much higher lvl than Geralt) easily without dodge
Hey! Quick question if you don't mind answering: How do you heal when striking? I'm new to the game, been playing Deathmarch and 've had a lot of trouble with health management hehe
This build allows you to stack potions and decoctions and reap their benefits. Two of those decoctions you should make use of are the ekimmara and ekhidna; there's where your HP regeneration comes from. One is a life regen based on the amount of damage you do and the other is based on stamina consumption that synergizes well with the archgriffon decoction. Check out the potion/decoction part of the video for more help. Hopefully you enjoy the game!
Ditronus That was AWESOME! Thanks a lot mate! Made my day hahahahaha
It's probably been said before but, for late game silver swords that have crit chance and crit damage I would recommend Ami (Levelled loot from 'Tufo Monster' contract) or Cantata (levelled? loot during 'What lies unseen' main quest AKA 'bad ending'). Both have +15% crit chance & +75% crit hit damage. Likewise for steel swords: Toussaint steel sword (crafted) or Hen Gaidth steel sword (levelled loot in beginning of Unseen Elder cave. Need to get stone key during 'blood simple' quest and can obtain after main quest line. Can get after 'good' or 'bad' ending). Both have +15% crit chance & +75% crit hit damage.
Forgive my lack of understanding of NG+ mechanics. Actually Toussaint Steel sword might not be viable if you started NG+ above level 52 as it would have a level requirement of >100. So the max level to begin NG+ and still be able to use Belhaven blade and Gesheft would be lvl 55 as they have a lvl req of 45 in the base game.
Wow best build I have seen. I been looking for something like this. Tha k you
