What woman’s empowerment of Yoana’s character to be equal in the side quest The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt By Andrjez Sapkowski- Master Armorers? To answer these questions, this research used a qualitative descriptive research method. This research used methods that relied on text and image data, with unique steps in data analysis and took various designs. This method was used to analyze data from a visual and narrative point of view because these elements were able to be represented through both. A feminist approach was applied to this research. This research was also driven by several theories. The theories applied were feminist theory as the main theory by Humm (1994), the concept of gender equality by several experts, the theory of women's empowerment by Mandal (2013). The results of this research were that Yoana was described as a weak and oppressed figure. The problem of gender equality was clearly illustrated by the fact that male characters domi nated in society. However, Yoana's situation did not stop her from standing up and fighting this ideology. She managed to fight negative treatment from other male characters that she was the true holder of the title of "master armorer" in the game. In conclusion, In the end, Yoana succeeded in breaking this belief and proving that women were not weak by empowering herself. There are two ways, namely (a) social empowerment and (b) educational empowerment.
