There are two pieces of Witcher weaponry diagrams found in the Side Quest, Scavenger Hunt: Viper School Gear. These two weapons can replace your silver and steel weapons, and do great damage early game, in addition to a chance to poison enemies. Note that you can find the diagrams in either order.

How to Find the Serpentine Steel Sword

Locate the Bandit Camp just to the West of the Ransacked Village, located in some ruins atop a ride (you can climb up the side of a broken pillar.

Kill the bandits and locate a large chest to get both the diagram, and clues as to the location of the other diagram.

How to Find the Serpentine Silver Sword

Head to the old abandoned Mill North of White Orchard, and then continue North to the White Orchard Graveyard. Here you will find a crypt guarded by a Wraith.

If you attack it outside, it will retreat into the crypt, where you will have to break open the door to pursue it. Inside the crypt, look for a body near the far wall to find the other diagram.
