That's strange, I never found the notes of an elven minstrel in a sarcophage in the field's crypt :whatthe: Maybe I didn't search accurately enough? :hmmm:I found the notes in Act V
Maybe the EE guide descpription means you have to talk to the elfen craftsman to get more information on the legendary armor... but I don't remember if I got a quest log update when I talked to him :hmmm:
the elven craftsman does mention how the armor was created by gnomes but perfected by elves and that the elven songmaster "Tyensail" worked on it. As luck would have it, I am exactly at that point in my current game and the journal update about the elven minstrel's notes does happen in act IV ... but trust me you will not find the actual item until Act V 
First: Thanks to all for the replies. As long as I CAN get the notes I'm OK. :-\From the Guide: "One of the componentes is the notes of the elven minstrel, which is in one of the sarcophagi in the Crypt in the Fields. The other component is a piece of the armor, located in a sarcophagus in the Crypt at Lakeside. You must find the next two components in Act V."Clues given in-game are: The notes, and three named pieces of armor. Other than the gauntlet, I can't remember the other two parts. But the one you find in the Crypt at Lakeside isn't the gauntlet.This is why I was confused. Thanks again.
no one has ever reported finding the notes in any other act but act V ... so please if anyone has in fact found these notes in act IV, let me know so i can update the wikiI'm in act IV right now, so believe me i'll be looking for them now but based on what you've quoted from the guidebook, it seems wrong. Yes the armor component is in the crypt by the lakeside (and there is another identical piece that can be found in Act v) ... but i have scoured that crypt in the fields and never found the notes of the elven mistrel -- not in 30 runs ... and i am insanely thorough

Looks like as if the guide wasn't check before it was translated in other languagesseramiran said:
The game guide which comes with the boxed retail EE version cannot be relied upon for accurate information. It has often out-dated and simply incorrect quest data. Not to mention the painfully simple typo errors. Stick to the witcher wiki. The tried and proven guide to The Witcher!
Oh dear. I had thought quoting the guide would show why I was confused, not extend the problem. I'm in Act V now and if I DO NOT find the notes here I'll post an update. I promise.game widow: It seems you are correct and the guide is wrong. Don't let my query waste your time.petra silie: Funny how translations can be accurate to original mistakes and yet ....chuckles: Apparently. But I wanted to try out my new ISP and downloaded a big game. Which I've been playing (on and off) for a couple of weeks now. I now have a manual and two guides. A bit too much really, but I learned something about downloading games and the reliability of guides. Proves I'm alive I guess.
well no worries, the notes take a while to find ... without spoiling it for you, you'll need to complete one more rather major quest before you find the notes ... essentially Raven's armor is not really to help you in Act V (at least not the first 3/4 of it!) ... it's more what you are concerned with doing in that act. The epilogue is where you can really use the armor eace:so don't despair, the notes are there ... and if you really, really want to know:
eace:so don't despair, the notes are there ... and if you really, really want to know:
they are in the striga's crypt ... so you may find them before killing / curing the striga, but you won't be able to do anything with them until after you've dealt with her
Yes, but your job in this case is finished in Act. IV The quest continues in Act V, there you will get more instructions. It depends on your decsion with whom you will side, GL You can talk to the blacksmith and the elven craftsman at the lakeside about the armor, you will get interesting background info.

I'm in Act V right now and really hope there's a lot more. Also, what's a good strategy to kill multiple Wraiths in the Crypt when getting the Armor for the Armor quest? they always seem to stun me over and over and then I just get beaten to death. thanks in advance for the help.
7 acts total: Prologue, Acts 1-5, Epilogue.Multiple wraiths hate specter oil + group style. Using Aard to avoid getting surrounded helps. Moving through crypts slowly enough to only spawn them one at a time is the best advice.
Definately. Full Moon will make you live longer too.PetraSilie said:You should taste a willow potion
