Vose Gith legendary sword in act 1

[WellMad]

Sorry, for the bad spelling. Can he still drop the sword, I'm level 4 warrior(la zeal origin), and I have hit him like 20 times with disarm but he only drops his ranged weapon. I also tried about 20 times with will with command and also shadow? did they patch it?

[WellMad]

Has anyone else had this issue or is it just me?

[Spiral_Architect]

Considering you have been successful in disarming him, I would say no. From what you have said, they appear to have blocked this by starting him with his range weapon armed rather than the sword.

[Mike Garrison]

I think they patched this exploit out. Never tried it myself.

[General Malaise]

I've had it every time in the past - but this time, wasn't going to anyway. The one in The Creche is nearly as good.

He can still drop the sword. But most of the times dropping it breaks Lae'zel story (or at least part of it) so it's not worth it. Plus, this game is already easy enough -- why get a broken sword and further ruin your fun?

Thanks for the replies.

If I'm gonna play quickly just to play though her to the end why not get the most powerful weapon for her.

I get a perfectly nice sword for Lae'zel from the creche, without her having to steal it from a character she later wants to ally with.

And anyway, I usually replace her sword with that legendary trident early in Act 3.

[WellMad]

Im just doing an evil play though as well, so I basically wanted to kill everyone.

How do you even fight him? He always leaves on his dragon for me.

It's apparently a timing deal. You need to attack him before the cutscene triggers for him to leave.

IMO this is an example of a Early Access exploit that turns out to be a negative in the full release. Another one like this was that in early access people found out they could attack the strange ox and get a magic ring. But what they didn't know is that would end up hurting them, because in Act 3 the strange ox will just give you that ring and also can be an ally to you. Since there was no Act 3 in Early Access, people didn't know that their "exploit" was actually hurting themselves.

In Early Access the sword just seemed like a great weapon for Lae'zel. Nice exploit to get the sword from him, right? They had no idea that Voss would be a big part of the later story arc for Lae'zel.

Ah I see. I've found it's generally a bad idea to engage people in combat who auto trigger cutscenes, before said scenes, as it tends to make the game act mental.

I got it in a playthru since P4 so I'd say you've been unlucky.
The drop succeeding is a low chance - think it was 9% for me last time, so a lot of save scumming is needed.
I don't understand those that say it effects the story later as I've seen no sign of that.

Isn't Voss required for Laezel's content to progress?

He still showed up in Act 3 at the inn and as far as I can tell everything progressed as normal. Is there some other specific Lae'zel content you mean?

No I meant that. He shows up even if you kill him?

I killed that annoying merc in act 1 and his body disappeared afterwards, so I've been wondering if he's going to reappear anyway, too.
