steel vs silver sword

[standardtrickyness]

I can't find a guide to this, but when is the steel sword better? On humans of course, but are there any other bosses? I had trouble beating teyu until I switched to steel sword.

Technicly Steel should be used against Humans or Humanoids (gnomes, dwarfs, elves) and Silver against everything else maybe vodyanoi is in humanoid section.

Anyway Steel and Silver is lore thing so silver should be treated as something that gives extra dmg because its made of silver and anything else that isn't sensitive to silver should be used steel against them because silver is actually brittle which why steel is better in those cases.

PS vodyanoi should be weak against fire and blind from what I see as well given they water like creature I am not suprised they should be weak against fire.

Usually, the monster journal tells you when a creature is weak to silver. It also helps to use oils that the monsters are weak to or grindstones to increase damage. Argentia oil is great for all around increased silver sword damage. However, don't use it on steel swords because it lowers their damage stats.
