BarefootWarrior Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Since this is a possible spoiler I thought it best to put this here. In the last act, when you confront the dragon on the rooftop, I used the silver sword, I got my hands on the 'Addan Deith' silver sword. I also managed to get the items needed to create the 'Caerme' Steel Sword. I had both of these for the battle with the dragon. I had the understanding that a silver sword was needed to kill the dragon, but maybe I am wrong. In the cut scenes as Geralt is walking across the roof and the dragon is coming at him, the cut scene shows him holding the 'Caerme' steel sword, not the 'Addan Deith' silver sword, even though that is what I was using during the fight. I could not figure this out, so I loaded up this part of the game many times and tried the steel sword and then the silver just to see what the cut scenes would show, and this was not easy, that damn dragon smacked me around real good. In all of the cut scenes, the steel sword is shown, not the silver, even if that is what I used. Anyone else noticed this? To go further, I loaded up an old game and tried this. In this instance, I had a 'Superb' Silver sword and a 'Superb' steel sword, can't think of the names off hand, but...the same thing happened. The steel sword was shown in the cut scenes, not the silver. Not once was the silver sword shown in any of the cut scenes. Am I missing something here? I am confused. :unsure: I thought this was interesting, thought I'd pass this along. :whistling: Maybe this is a bug, have no clue.

Upon choosing that last option I recall Geralt telling either Roche or Triss that a dragon is not considered to be a monster. That would kinda explain why he is using a steel blade in the cutscenes.

swordsman5 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Truth is.......some of the human characters you meet along the way could well be defined as monsters by their actions, yet inserting 3 feet of silver sword into their anal orifice doesn't have much effect! :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco856 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 It's not a bug because he's not trying to kill the dragon in that scene. He's trying to get it on the ground so he can either: A) Kill itB) Walk awayorC) Use the dagger to break the spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's trying to get it on the ground so he can either: A) Kill itB) Walk awayorC) Use the dagger to break the spell. I wondered about this. During the fight (in any of the fights I had during this part) I kept getting the flag 'steel sword not effective against dragon'..or something to that effect, so I would then reload and just use the silver sword. But in the cut scene where Geralt is walking across the roof just before he jumps on, he is always holding the steel sword. So you may be on to something here. Makes sense anyway. I just thought it was odd. This last time, I did both, the 'Addan Deith' silver sword, and then reload and play again using the 'Caerme' steel sword (and still got that flag) even though it seemed to do more damage then the silver sword. Go figure. I used the 'Whet Stone' on both. Since I was not wearing any armor, this was quite challenging, but worth it and I got some great screen shots. Anyway, I agree with your comment and it sounds good to me, thanks! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonbird Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 You're all better than me. I spent the few minutes of the fight trying to kill it using Philippa's dagger as my main weapon. It wasn't very effective. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
