Quest "The Encrypted Manuscript" help please!

In this quest you need to provide Bras of Ban Ard the appropriate ingredients to break the spell of the manuscript. The ingredients are Queen Endrega Pheromones, Nekker Warrior Blood, Bullvore Brain, and a Harpy Egg(which can be substituted with a Rotfiends Tongue). I have all the ingredients but the Nekker Warriors Blood. Is there any place in Act 3 to kill Nekkers? I have yet to see a single one, even in obvious places like the sewers and the cave right outside Loc Muinne. If anyone knows where i could get Nekker blood please tell me. Thanks

There aren't any Nekkers in Act III unfortunately.

Warrior Nekker Blood behaves strangely in inventory and storage. Sometimes it shows up only under "quest items". Have you checked there?

If you didn't have any before, you're SOL now. But the sword you get is not something that you will win or lose the game by.

Thanks Guy i seen it under Quest Items in my inventory and the item i was actually missing was the Harpy Egg thank God lol. And i don't get what you mean it is nothing you will win or lose the game by, that sword is amazing, easily one of the best steel swords in the game, it was 3x better than the one i had lol

Edit: Ive also been reading in different places that there are Nekkers in Act 3 but only on Roche's path. This quote is straight from the Prima Guide for Witcher 2 "Nekkers inhabit dark, humid areas that are neither too wet nor too dry. Favored habitats include forests and caves. You encounter nekkers in the forests and cave areas around Flotsam in Chapter 1. In Chapter 2, nekkers lurk in the mines beneath Vergen and in the forests to the north of the city. In Chapter 3, you can encounter nekkers in the forests and caves north of Loc Muinne, but only on Roche’s route." Which leads me to thinking about the quest where you lead the woman through the forest and down to the boat by the river, at the end of this quest you can chose to stay in the forest or go straight back to Loc Muinne. I think if you stay in the forest now since the soldiers are dead you will find nekkers and endregas instead.

Actually you can encounter both nekkers and an endrega queen if you choose to explore the area when you are escorting Brigida.
Make sure you explore the entire area and you should find something else that is really nice.

Yeah, according to this there are nekkers, http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/An_Encrypted_Manuscript

Is this the quest from picking up the Scribes notes inside that library type area? The Scribe guy is sleeping on a cot just ouside the room, but he wont talk to Geralt. I don't know what to do with the notes, its something about invisible ink.

The Encrypted Manuscript quest starts with a book you would normally find during the gargoyle contract, nothing to do with that scribe.

Anyway, be sure to check your quest items for Warrior Nekker Blood. The inventory placement of this item is screwy, and you may think you have none when you actually have plenty.

Thanks for advise - that's true, the ingredients must be checked in Quest Items section and ones that cannot be replenished in Act3 are all in Quest Items (like Warrior Nekker Blood or pheromones)
