The Witcher 3 Feline gear: How to get all Feline armor and Feline sword locations

How to complete the Feline - or Cat - series of gear quests.

Witcher 3 Feline gear - also known as Cat gear - is light Witcher armour is designed for those who prefer to dodge in and out of range and like to see their stamina full at all times.

While the diagrams for some of the later pieces are found within Skellige and Toussaint, you'll start your hunt within Velen and Novigrad.

On this page:

The Witcher 3 has a vast array of different armour sets to wear. While many of these can simply be found lying around the world, the most powerful items must be crafted using diagrams you can find out in the world. The best armours are often the Witcher School gear, each of which has a quest line associated with it.

While you can always follow the quests themselves, you can also just go and pick up the diagrams anyway.

Standard Feline Gear, Sword and Armor locations

Feline Steel Sword location

Around the middle of the map, just south of the Glory Gate you probably used to enter Novigrad, is Drahim Castle. Work your way down to the lower floor of the building via the ladder and you'll see a chest containing the diagram.

Kill the drowners to claim the Laboratory Key at the bottom of the pool. Then head back to the main cavern to unlock the door at the back of it. Kill off the enemy you find inside and you'll be able to take the diagrams from his cold dead hands.
