Mutation – Euphoria

Chest: Relic Ornate robe (you will find it during HoS DLC)

Trousers: Ofieri Sharovary

Gloves: Ofieri Gauntlets

Boots: Ofieri Boots

Obviously, the most appropriate Cossack look for Geralt. As a bonus, it provides a great boost to the signs you are going to use.


Steel Sword: Iris (again an obvious choice here as sabers are the common weapons among Cossacks)

Silver Sword: Aerondight (a legendary weapon that is very dear to Geralt)

Swords: Replenishment runes for both versatility and cool looks.
Chest: Deflection runeword. Can’t be bothered with those pesky archers.
Other: 1 Aard, 3 Igni and 2 Yrden glyphs.

Ancient Leshen decoction – allows you to cast signs more frequently, especially useful as you don’t use medium armor with Griffin techniques.
Ekhidna decoction – easily my favorite one. Heal every time you cast a sign or simply jump. Super strong.
Potions: Petri’s Philter, Tawny Owl, Thunderbolt. Nothing special here.

If you are playing on a PC and want to enhance the looks, there are a few beautiful mods:
