Winter's Blade 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.  

  • 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.

      It's a Refrance to Lich King's blade : Frostmourne from world of warcraft, it has similar appearance to that blade (runes, shape) tho without skulls. It also has chance to freeze.

        Previous comment is not viable.
        There was no bug in mechanics.
        It just changed the description of the sword, while it stayed the same, except for +5% for an added slot.

          In version 1.31 there's a bug with the runewright. If he applies additional rune slot, the base 10% freeze chance might grow to 25%. Therfore, if the sword is fully improved with Zoria rune for +15% chance to freeze, chance to freeze equals 40%, while before it could reach no more than 20% (basic 10% + 10% of 2 greater Zoria runes).

            After talking to Crach I received instead a very dissapointing sword which wasn't the Winter Blade. At that moment I was lvl 20, perhaps that's why?

              Soo.. I've googled this sword and came across some "cheats" where you supposely can craft it as the items needed for it i shown. How does that work? Any other levels this sword could have? I've obtained it as lvl req 20
