You achieved this save in enhanced edition right ? In that case, you've singlehandedly proved wiki wrong. Because wiki says all op random drops removed in enhanced edition. I wonder where is the diagram for beann'shie in game files.
Sorry for the late reply but yeah, I've created this save in the enhanced edition. I must admit it's my first time seeing the "This weapon was removed in the PC version of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - Enhanced Edition." note on the Witcher Wiki page.
No clue about where the file is stored in the game files, I'm afraid. If that was known I believe that someone would make a mod adding these otherwise unobtainable items to some of the merchants.
It just takes a lot of grinding to get these weapons' diagrams.
amazing contribution, but how did you get it? i mean, you loaded just before the fight with the second pair of wraith in the asylum or when the quest is given? cause i think the chest change the loot only when the quest is taken source: https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Diagram:_Beann%27shie
Actually I made a save before I entered the asylum and just went towards that chest where it's should spawn. I'd just repeat the whole run in case I hadn't found either one of those rare diagrams or weapons.
Saving just before the fight with the second pair of wraith should work as well. I haven't tested it personally but it would definitely save up some time trying to farm the diagram.
Indeed. I wish there was an easier way to get them other than trying over and over again, waiting for them to spawn as a random loot in some random chest. I got this one after tens of reloads and retries, killed the same wraiths over and over again.
I think I found one in one of my previous playthrough, one that gave +25% extra damage against wraiths, but unfortunately I don't have that save file anymore. It wasn't documented on The Witcher Wiki either. I was surprised to see that no one made a mod featuring those rare weapons so far, but I guess this game is somewhat hard to get resources out from.
