Umbra sword(1 of the best swords in game)
Umbra Sword.
The Umbra sword is one of the best swords in the game. It's very easy to get to, but the woman holding the sword is another problem. Head southwest of Imperial city to a dungeon named Vindasel. There are not that many dangers in the dungeon - mostly rats and very simple traps to slow your progress.
A woman holds the Umbra and she is very tough to stop, but you will have to attack her because she will not attack you. Personally I could not take any damage off of her (level 9). The only way I could defeat her was to slide the difficulty bar down to easy.
She will drop the Umbra sword and (at my level) Ebony armor. There is also a rumor that she will drop glass armor at the lower levels. Getting this sword early will save you a lot of time leveling up your character.
Treasure: Umbra Sword
