Acquired: Craftable, schematic buyable from craftsman in Loc Muine, requires Dragon Scale.

+4% Damage to Wraiths, Large Monsters, Gargoyles, Insectoids, Necrophages.

Easily the best steel sword in the game (though see Operator's Staff).

The first two of these cannot be found in Chapter 3.

In a nutshell, you need a magical manuscript acquired during the Gargoyle Contract sidequest AND you must have brought Queen endrega Pheromones, Nekker Warrior Blood, Necrophage Skin, and one of a Harpy's Egg or Rotfiend Tongue with you.

Requires missable items from Chapters 1 and 2, see ' Quest and Item Help' section.

Acquired: Craftable, schematic quest reward from Gargoyle Contract sidequest.

Geralt does a pretty cool monologue when you get this.

The rune identities are given in four books sold by the craftsman in Loc Muine. The order can be deduced from reading a note on a stand in the same room.

Quest hint: The four runes always represent Sky (square with slash), Animal (snake-like S symbol), Time (hourglass), and Art or Music (looks like a harp).

Note that adrenaline generation bonus only applies after Combat Acumen.

However, Deithwen is possibly better in Chapter 3 due to its bonuses against certain enemy types.

Slightly better than Deithwen stat-wise.

Acquired: Found in chest during Gargoyle Contract sidequest.

Only one rune slot is a serious downside but at least this looks kinda cool.

Presumably you've killed several by now and they're a common drop, but it is possible you don't have one (and they weigh 2 pounds)

Ok, at least this is an upgrade from the Act 2 steel swords.

Acquired: Craftable, buy schematic from circus merchant in Amphitheatre area.

Several other comparable swords available from merchants, Short Elven Sihil is slightly higher damage but lacks vigor regenĬeremonial Sword of Deithwen (Steel Sword).

Vigor regen on weapons is pretty rare and nice for mages.

One of a few options for folks that miss Caerme ingredients.

Acquired: Buyable (1.3k orens) from both weapons merchants in Loc Muine.

While not the best statistically, this may be the best silver sword for Chapter 3 due to its damage bonuses.

Unfortunately you get ambushed by 2 Arachas in the valley.

The sword is on a pile of bones in a clearing at the end of the valley. Turn around 180 degrees and walk down a narrow straight valley.

Shortly after the chapter begins, Geralt has a conversation and ends up facing the Order camp. Acquired: Found in valley opposite Order Camp at beginning of chapter.You get Caerme (see Quest and Item Help section). I'll listĪ couple for the sake of completeness, but do yourself a favor and make sure You've gotten here, your steel sword options can be rather limited. Section at the end of the guide as they require completing quests and/or Three items (a silver sword, a steel sword, and a set of armor) get their own
