The Viper Venomous Steel Sword is a witcher gear steel sword from the Viper set in Hearts of Stone. It deals 328-400 damage at level 39, with +25% Aard intensity and +75% crit damage. Its diagram is in a chest in the Borsodi vault during Open Sesame!, and that is the only chance to get it. It is a late-game sword found in Novigrad.
Its +25% Aard intensity is the highest Aard bonus of any witcher gear steel sword. It also has +10% crit chance, +15% chance to poison and +5% XP from humans and nonhumans, with 3 rune slots.
