How to get epic silver and steel swords - Act 3

[Bubort]

Ok, maybe im just a noob who didnt make his own weapons or find secret good ones, however you can easily get those 2 swords in act 3,

the steel one - 55-62 damage, 30% bleeding, life +2, adrenaline +1
the silver one 44-48 damage, +25% damage against big creaturers and gargoyles.

These two swords are better than the ones the sellers offer in act 3 for insane prices. Anyway to get them, just escort a women, whatever her name was, who speaks to roche after you speak with the king (it will happen automaticly as far as I know) then during the escort explore the small map and you will find a cave, not hard to find, search it well and you will find these swords !

Just though I will share it with others, I found that pretty useful my self, but that again, like I said, i might just be a noob at this game :P

There are also unique swords just for dark mode.

I know the silver one you describe is deithwen, which is very useful for a certain fight at the end of the game with a 25% bonus on large creatures. not sure about the steel ones though. The Dark mode act 3 swords I find to be a little underpowered (granted they have great damage, but only 1 rune slot between the 2 sword.) the steel sword is dancer, obtainable only on the roche path during the quest where you lead the girl to the smuggler so she can escape. its through a cave with a ton of nekker warriors. It has great damage, but only 2 rune slots. The freezing effect of the forgotten vran sword just tops all swords for me.. Note for anyone that didnt know, Forgotten Van Sword is obtainable on Iorveth path as well. Its in the same tower as the secrets of loc muine quest, but you take the door a few flights above the door you take to initiate secrets of loc muine.

I also like the Vran sword the best just to have another vigor. You can never have too much Vigor!

may as well play on dark. i did probably 3 playthroughs on dark, then went to hard for a faster story, and the differences are minute imo. the fact that enemies will block your attacks and hit with massive power are constant from normal on. So th way I see it is you maqy as well just play on Dark because the only change is more damage from enemie. besides, you get the dark mode gear as mentioned by Penguintin

Doesn't mean you can't do it again on Dark! totally worth it, imo.
