Introduction
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was already a masterpiece of a game, but its final expansion, Blood and Wine, takes it to another level. With its massive new location, Toussaint, and a host of new quests, gear, and characters, there’s a ton to explore in this expansion. Here’s a guide to getting started on your adventure in Blood and Wine.
Getting to Toussaint
First things first, in order to access Blood and Wine, you need to have completed the main story of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. If you’ve already done that, then you just need to start a new game and select “Blood and Wine” from the main menu. This will start you off with a level 35 character, plenty of gear, and access to Toussaint.
If you want to take your existing character into Blood and Wine, you can do that too. Once you reach level 35 in the main game, a new quest called “Envoys, Wineboys” will pop up in your quest log. This starts off the Blood and Wine expansion, and you can also select it from the main menu if you’ve completed it before.
Toussaint: An Overview
Toussaint is a completely new area, separate from the main game’s locations. It’s a beautiful, sun-drenched land inspired by medieval France, where knights roam and wine flows freely. There are new enemies to face, including the giant, plant-like Shaelmaar, and the land is filled with hidden treasures, as well as new merchants and NPCs to meet.
One of the standout features of Toussaint is the new Gwent faction, the Skellige deck, which is based on the island nation of the same name from the main game. There are also new Gwent cards to collect, including some with unique abilities that can’t be found anywhere else.
Meet the Knights of Toussaint
The main storyline of Blood and Wine revolves around a series of murders that are plaguing the land, and it’s up to Geralt to solve them. Along the way, he’ll meet a host of new characters, including the two knights who rule over Toussaint, Duke Henri and Duchess Anna Henrietta.
Geralt will also cross paths with the Witcher who trained him, and who is now retired and living in Toussaint. This will lead to a series of quests that explore Geralt’s past, and offer some intriguing insights into his personality and motivations.
