    • 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 Honeyed Paws Honeyed Paws while having a divination wizard with a 15 or higher 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 Potion of Invisibility on the ground, the bear companion can drink it and then approach Voss.
    • 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 explains how to obtain it.
