    • 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 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 1] so he can approach Voss.
