Silver Sword of the Astral Plane is a legendary greatsword that grants its wielder the Soulbreaker weapon action and provides special bonuses when wielded by a githyanki.

Description Icon.png
The fervour with which the githyanki express devotion to their queen is admirable to some, disquieting to others. When confronted with the fallibility of the divine (since no one is wholly perfect), who knows what reactions such folk might evince.

Weapon actions

Proficiency Icon.png If you have proficiency, equip in main hand to gain:

  • Pommel Strike Pommel Strike ()
    Make a non-lethal attack against an enemy and possibly Dazed Daze them.
  • Lacerate Lacerate ()
    Slash at your target's vital points to make it Bleeding Bleed.

    Swing your weapon in a large arc to attack up to 3 enemies at once. They each take half the damage your weapon usually deals.
  • Soulbreaker Soulbreaker ()
    Rend the enemy's body and soul, dealing additional Damage TypesPsychic damage equal to your proficiency bonus, and possibly Stunned Stun them.

Where to find

  • Rewarded for showing the Orphic Hammer to (or killing) Kith'rak Voss in Act Three.
  • As of Hotfix #10 of Patch #4 , this sword can alternatively be obtained in Act One by disarming Voss via Command (Drop) Command (Drop), Heat Metal Heat Metal, Disarming Attack (Ranged) Disarming Attack (Ranged), or Disarming Attack (Melee) Disarming Attack (Melee) during the githyanki patrol encounter before entering the Mountain Pass X: -139 Y: 561.
    • Voss must be disarmed before beginning combat, as he immediately flies away when any hostile action is taken.
    • Due to his high stats and Supreme Githyanki Parry, the chance of failing the disarm attempt against him is very high, so this method may require multiple reloads.
    • Sometimes Voss will only drop a Githyanki Crossbow. The triggers for this are not known.
    • As of Patch 5: It can be acquired in Act Three before entering the lower city during Deal with the devil. If you don't sign the contract but tell Voss that you did sign the contract then he gives you the sword (30 Deception Roll).

Notes

  • The githyanki-exclusive bonuses can also be enabled by being disguised as one. However, you must be disguised before equipping the weapon for this to work.
  • The Githborn Psionic Weapon effect on this item actually deals 1d6Damage TypesPsychic damage.
