Deireadh
Deireadh is a relic steel sword in The Witcher 3. Its bonuses are small: +1-15% critical hit damage, a 1% chance to stun and +1-5% bonus gold. That makes it more of a collector’s piece than a weapon to build around, although the gold bonus is a nice touch if you carry it while looting. It weighs 2.01 and has three upgrade slots.
Deireadh is random loot only. Look for it in caves in Velen and the Skellige Isles and in guarded treasures. Dismantling it gives leather scraps, steel ingots and diamond dust.
The word turns up elsewhere in the game too. Deireadh is the name of Oxenfurt‘s infamous prison, where Dandelion was to be taken before his friends freed him, and it is part of the title of the main quest Tedd Deireadh, The Final Age.
The sword itself goes back to The Witcher 2, where it lies in a locked chest in the northernmost part of the Loc Muinne sewers in Chapter III.

In The Witcher 2, Deireadh is a steel sword with 25-32 base damage. Each hit has a 7% chance to poison and an 8% chance to stun the target, so it pairs raw damage with two status effects. The sword weighs 8 and has 3 upgrade slots, leaving plenty of room for runes to push its damage further.
- Damage: 25-32
- Poison: 7%
- Stun: 8%
