Dahlia

Dahlia is a silver sword from Blood and Wine, and the version worth having is taken from a big monster in Toussaint. The relic adds +20% Igni intensity and a 10% chance to poison on top of +150 armor piercing, +50% critical hit damage and +10% critical hit chance. It matches Geralt’s level when looted, give or take one (minimum 38), and has three upgrade slots.

The relic comes from Contract: Bovine Blues. Cattle are being slaughtered near the Ardaiso Quarry, and the culprits turn out to be a pair of slyzards. The fight is unusual, because the Slyzard Matriarch and her injured offspring attack together and share one health bar. Once both are dead, take the trophy and Dahlia from the matriarch. You can also destroy their nest for some extra experience.

With its mix of Igni and crits, the relic suits a hybrid Geralt who burns monsters between fast attacks.

Relic: looted from the Slyzard Matriarch, together with her trophy, during Contract: Bovine Blues at the Ardaiso Quarry.

The game files also hold a weaker magic version of Dahlia, but no reliable source pins down where it drops, so treat any specific location you see with caution.
