How to Get Viper Steel Sword


Viper Steel Sword Map Location and Quest Guide


The pin marks the old watchtower in the bandit camp west of the Ransacked Village in White Orchard. The Viper Steel Sword diagram, called Diagram: Serpentine Steel Sword in the game, sits in a chest inside the ruined tower with an interrogation report. It turns up during Scavenger Hunt: Viper School Gear, and an amateur blacksmith crafts the sword from it.

  1. Start Scavenger Hunt: Viper School Gear in White Orchard by finding either of its two diagrams.
  2. Go to the bandit camp at the old watchtower west of the Ransacked Village.
  3. Climb onto the plateau, either up the side or by the pile of bricks around the base.
  4. Kill the deserters on top, taking care not to fall off.
  5. Loot the chest inside the ruined watchtower for the steel sword diagram and the interrogation report.

Notes


In NG+ the diagram becomes Legendary Viper Steel Sword. It needs level 2 plus the starting level and adds +5% crit chance.
