There’s now a Witcher 3 mod that lets you ride around on a full-size dragon Skyrim-style, just in case you don’t fancy a piggyback from an alchemist

Because sometimes Tomira just can’t run fast enough to get you from Novigrad to Kaer Morhen in less than a year.

In possibly the most visually interesting case of someone combining another thing I like with The Witcher 3 via a mod since someone slapped Kazuma Kiryu’s back tat on big Gerry, there’s now one that’ll let you ride on a dragon a bit like Skyrim ’s Dragonborn can after visiting Solstheim.

As with a bunch of cool Witcher 3 mods we reported on last year, such as new quests , a big ship you can fall through the deck of, and playing as Ciri in her The Witcher 4 getup, this one also wouldn’t be possible with those handy REDkit tools.

It’s called ’ Herald of the White Frost ’ and it’s by modder errornoaccess, who also made the mod that lets you run around as centaur horse-man Geralt which I had a fun few hours with back in November. They’ve also made mounts of griffins , fiends , and, er, White Orchard’s alchemist Tomira .

Anyway, their latest creation is a “custom dracolizard monster” you’ve got to beat in a boss battle before you can hop on its back and fly around on it a bit like you do with Skyrim’s dragon riding , a thing we’ve all tried once or twice, then promptly forgotten it exists.

You can find the dragon - named Unhcegila, the Herald of the White Frost - in the frozen town during the portal-hopping quest ‘Through Time and Space’, in White Orchard, or summon it via a “Mysterious Sapphire Crystal” that the mod puts on sale at four vanilla merchants detailed in the its description.

Do you fancy trying a dragon as your means of commuting from contract to contract? Or are you worried Roach’ll get jealous? Let us know below!
