So you have purchased yourself one of the greatest and most anticipated RPGs nowadays.
You downloaded the game and found out the lovely developers of this lovely piece are giving you free DLCs.
Great! Now, to activating them.
There are two methods to doing this. Either use the Galaxy Client or download and install the DLCs manually.
Both methods will be explained bellow.
Method 1 - Download using the Galaxy Client:
1. First when you look at the game page you will see that there are DLCs on the left. The bottom one is the one you are looking for.
Go ahead and buy it, don't worry no payment is required (mine already says owned because I did this step).
2. Now to activate the DLCs press the 'more' tab next to the play button and go to configure.
After you have entered the configure section go ahead and mark your selected DLCs.
3. Enjoy your free content and don't forget to drop the developers a nice word.
Have fun and may your hunt be successful.
Method 2 - Download Manually:
1. First thing first you must go to this page and buy the free DLCs Program.
Go ahead and buy it, don't worry no payment is required.
2. After you have finished the purchase go to your account page.
3. Press the Witcher 3 icon or "folder" as I like to call it.
If you don't see the Witcher 3 "folder" you probably bought a retail copy. If that is you must first redeem the code found inside the retail box into your GOG.com account.
4. After the drop down menu opens select the DLCs you wish to download.
5. Save the .exe files and install them manually.
6. Enjoy your free content and don't forget to drop the developers a nice word.
Have fun and may your hunt be successful.
Available DLCs:
Currently only 4 DLCs are available at the moment.
The remaining DLCs will be released as bundles as time passes. Current available free DLCs:
1. Temerian Armor Set
2. Beard and Hairstyle Set for Geralt
3. New Quest: Contract Missing Miners
4. Alternative Look for Yennefer
How to get the content from the DLCs in-game:
1. Temerian Armor Set: You can get the Temerian Armor from Bram, the guy you save from the griffin at the start. He will stand at the gate to the village after you go to the inn.
2. Beard and Hairstyle Set for Geralt: After installing the DLC you will have 6 different hairstyles and 6 different beards you can choose from at the barber shop (look for a scissors icon on the map).
3. New Quest: Contract Missing Miners: You can get the Quest at "Skellige".
4. Alternative Look for Yennefer: Automatically activates itself after installation, You can toggle it on and off in the options menu in-game.
How to Toggle the look On/Off: Options > Downloadable Content > Toggle the new look on/off.
