Use the silver sword in the Witcher 2

the-witcher-2

Some common swords do more damage than the silver sword. I'm level 7 now and don't see why that silver sword is special? Why do I need two swords, when I could just use one of them all the time?

Best Answer

Monsters are more vulnerable to silver swords, while humanoids (humans, elves and dwarves) are more vulnerable to steel swords. If you use the wrong sword type you will make far less damage. Always use the silver sword against monsters and the steel sword against humanoids.
