** Voss must be disarmed before beginning the encounter, as he immediately flies away when any hostile action is taken by the party or its allies, and he will lock party members into dialogue when approaching close enough.

** Due to his high stats, the chance of failing the disarm attempt against him is very high, so this method may require multiple reloads or extensive preparation. See: [[Guide: Early Silver Sword]].

** Using {{SAI|Honeyed Paws}} while having a [[Divination School|divination]] [[wizard]] with a 15 or higher [[portent|portent die]] nearby ~~allows you to guarantee~~ that he drops his weapon. ~~You can~~ long rest until ~~you get~~ 15 or higher and make the bear invisible~~{{note|The bear companion can drink~~ a {{~~RarityItem~~|Potion of Invisibility}} ~~if you put it~~ on the ground~~.}} so he~~ can approach Voss.

** Using {{SAI|Honeyed Paws}} while having a [[Divination School|divination]] [[wizard]] with a 15 or higher [[portent|portent die]] nearby guarantees that he drops his weapon. It's possible to long rest until getting 15 or higher and then make the bear invisible. After placing a {{SmRarityItem|Potion of Invisibility}} on the ground, the bear companion can drink it and then approach Voss.

** Sometimes Voss will ~~only drop~~ a [[Githyanki Crossbow]], ~~or the weapon he drops~~ will simply phase out of existence. The triggers for these anomalies are not known.

** Sometimes Voss will appear with a [[Githyanki Crossbow]] instead of the sword or, when dropped, it will simply phase out of existence. The triggers for these anomalies are not known. If Voss appears with a crossbow instead of the sword, the [[Guide: Early Silver Sword|Guide]] explains how to obtain it.

* The sword can be acquired in [[Act Three]] before entering the [[Lower City]] during [[Deal with the Devil]]. If ~~you don't sign~~ the contract but ~~lie~~ to Voss, he ~~will give you~~ the sword ({{Ability check|Deception|30}}).

* If obtained in [[Act One]], a second exemplar of this weapon will not be given as a quest reward, but can be looted if Voss is killed in [[Act Three]].
