A Sword for Monsters – Witcher 2 Quest

This guide helps players with a specific side quest of chapter 1 in The Witcher 2. It has a map, legend, and walkthrough to show you exactly how to complete the quest.

Map Legend

1 – Crate
2 – Berthold Candeleria

Background

Remember that encounter with the dragon, just before entering the solar? That’s when Geralt lost his sword by sticking it into dragon’s jaw. Therefore, he’ll need a new silver sword.

Walkthrough

As soon as you get out of the ship at the beginning of Act I, you’ll notice a red sparkling chest in front of you. Loot it for Diagram: Witcher’s Robust Silver Sword . Once you reach the town and situation settles down (finished quests A Rough Landing and By the Gods – Stringing Up Sods), visit any crafter to make the Witchers’ Silver Sword . It is recommended that you visit the blacksmith (#2) for it, because he will also be able to sell you the rare silver ore, which you probably do not have in abundance. Other materials are very common and you should have already acquired them by now.

If you’ve imported a savegame from the first game, you won’t lose your Aerondight / Moon Blade during the dragon encounter, so this quest automatically completes itself immediately upon arrival in Act I.
