Bear / Ursine School Gear – Witcher 3 Quest

This guide is a walkthrough of a main quest of the Witcher 3. The guide is composed of a map, map legend, and walkthrough to show readers exactly where to go and what to do to complete the quest.

Background

You’ll trigger these quests when you find Ursine School diagrams, or when you find documents relating to them.

Walkthrough

For these quests, you’ll need to find the diagrams for basic Ursine School equipment, plus the diagrams for upgrading them.
