Faithful Friend is a Steel Sword in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Steel Swords form one half of Geralt's primary Weapons which he uses to deal damage to Enemies in combat. Steel Swords are effective against humans as well as non-magical or supernatural opponents such as beasts and some humanoids but are ineffective against most Monsters. They can be enhanced with some Oils to increase their effectiveness against certain targets and some can be socketed with Runestones or Runewords for more bonus effects. This Weapon is available with the Blood and Wine DLC.

• Note that Damage and Level are not listed due to Damage's dependence on the item's Level, and the randomness of the item's Level when acquired.
