Skyrim which weapon is better. The best weapons and armor in Skyrim Special Edition. How to get the weapon Miraak's Sword

The weapon definitely plays main role in Skyrim, and therefore from the very beginning of the game you should decide on the type of weapon, if you don’t know, then it happens:

• One-handed (swords, short, daggers, axes)
• Two-handed (axes, halberds, spears)
• Small arms (crossbows, bows)

In the article WHERE to find the best weapons in Skyrim, we will look at everything in detail possible options obtaining specifically attacking types of weapons (small arms are excluded, since on our website in the Bows and Crossbows section, you will find the same article about small arms).

Let's immediately clarify that this post is of a purely informative nature, that is, all your statements that have negative character, will be ignored, since everyone has their own ideals.

We consider only original (vanilla) weapons, all unofficial mods and additions are not taken into account!

Where to find the best weapons in Skyrim - by stages

Beginning of the game

For those who want to “bend” enemies from the very beginning of their story, you should think about going through the storyline for the thieves guild, since at the end of all the main quests, you will be equipped Nightingale blade, Nightingale's bow, and Nightingale's armor, and not a small amount of money. And if you use this entire set, you immediately understand that it is simply ideal, as it has impressive charms.

The next exhibit will be sword "Phantom Blade", which can be obtained by killing Ansilvund. Its feature is its complete ignoring of the enemy’s armor, that is, it does not matter how he is equipped, in heavy or light armor.

Also worth mentioning is the Okin ax and the Eduzh sword. With their help, you can easily defeat quite strong enemies.

Mid leveling

Now let's move on to more experienced players. Many people will like it Wuuthrad ax which can be obtained after completing a chain of quests for the Companions, since it is literally “killer”.

After completing quests for one of the Daedra Princes, you will receive Merenus' Razor. It has the shape of a dagger, and has a 5% chance of instantly killing an enemy. Especially if you take it in right hand, and used as an auxiliary one, then when attacking, for example, with a regular sword, without enchantment, you also have a chance to kill the enemy in one blow.

Peak pumping

After completing many quests, you will really need good weapon. For example, a staff Rose Sanguina will be very useful for those players who have not leveled up the magic tree, as it can summon Daedra who will fight on your side.

For those who like to hunt dragons, a weapon is well suited Dragon Scourge, since it has an additional bonus of 25 damage to them.

Another proven method is forging weapons. Has the most relatively good base damage Daedric and Dragon weapons. But to create them you need to have good Blacksmithing (from 90 to 100).

Where to Get the Best Basic Weapons

Top 10 most powerful weapons (hard-core review)

The most powerful weapon

In the end, it must be said that for each you need to select the best weapon separately, and therefore, in order to say which weapon is really the best, let's say the following.

The best weapon in Skyrim is the weapon that has saved you more than once, or just choose a Daedric, upgrade it, enchant it and bend this entire multifaceted world! Thank you for your attention, good mood everyone!

There wasn’t much to do during the holidays; I played Skyrim.

Furrowing the open spaces game world, it was impossible not to philosophize about “where is the strength, brother.” Which sent me on a quest to find the ultimate weapon. A weapon that makes battles fleeting and the philosopher's travels serene and safe. :)

Path of the Magician

I completed my first run on Skyrim as a mage. The spells of the school of destruction were my main weapon, and the main motto was “your weapon is your mind,” which is constantly voiced by one of the NPCs in the school of magic.

For those who want to follow the path of a magician, I can only advise creating a set of items that reduce the mana consumption of spells from the school of destruction. It is possible to enchant 4 items (ring, amulet, helmet and cuirass or robe, etc.). With a developed enchanting skill, without additional tricks, each of the enchanted items (at fortify destruction) reduces the cost of spells by 25%, which in total will be 100%. Finally shoot fireballs and you can throw lightning bolts completely free of charge. Isn't this the perfect weapon for a magician?

Way of the Warrior

The warrior's path is more thorny, which makes it more interesting. For myself, I chose the classics - heavy armor and a combination - shield + sword. Other combinations will find their followers, and I will share my own experience.

The damage of a weapon is determined by its base, your wielding skill, and enchantment. Further details.

Weapon base

In the game you find different versions of the same swords (hammers, axes, etc.) differing in the material from which they are made. It is clear that the more expensive the material, the better weapons. The best light material for making weapons is Glass, and the best heavy material is Daedric. To make it you need the appropriate ingredients, the blacksmithing skill itself (for Glass - 70, for Daedric - 90) and the blacksmithing specialty for forging the required material. It’s clear that the type of weapon you need can be found on your travels and you won’t have to worry about finding the ingredients.

Skill

Each intended use of your weapon improves your skill in using it. The skill doesn't grow very quickly. You will notice when looking at your inventory that as your skill increases, the damage of the corresponding weapon class will increase. The effectiveness of wielding a weapon can be doubled with the help of appropriate perks. For one-handed it is the Armsmen perk, for two-handed it is Barbarian and for a bow it is Overdraw.

Sharpening

I have never found an already sharpened weapon in the game. And with even a minimum level of blacksmithing skill, you can sharpen and improve any weapon and armor (to sharpen enchanted equipment you will need to take the appropriate perk). In addition, the blacksmith specialty for forging a certain material will double the sharpening effect of weapons and armor made from that material.

Those. To create the ultimate weapon, we will need advanced blacksmithing and weapon skills + a number of perks. Go ahead.

Blacksmith is different from blacksmith

Once you have forged or obtained a weapon, you can sharpen it. The same applies to armor. And the higher the effect, the better the blacksmith’s skill.

You will probably find that it is possible to enchant a set of items to improve your blacksmithing skill. This is again a set of 4 items (ring, amulet, gloves/bracers and armor, etc.). Without additional tricks, with a developed enchanting skill, we will receive a total of 100% increase in the blacksmith’s abilities (It is an increase and not a doubling, since all the effects here add up to a common piggy bank, giving an increase to the base value). And if you resort to certain tricks (using alchemy when enchanting), then you can increase the total amount to 120%.

Alchemy will also be useful - the developed skill of an alchemist allows you to create truly powerful potions. And the alchemist will be helped by an enchanter who will create a set of “young alchemist”, again of 4 items (ring, amulet, helmet, etc. and gloves, etc.), giving from 100 to 120% an increase in the alchemist’s skill.

Having donned the “young blacksmith’s” kit, stocked up on the necessary ingredients and consumed the flask with the “elixir of the blacksmith,” we have 30 seconds to sharpen our weapons and improve our armor. This is how long the created elixir lasts.

Those. we will need developed skills in enchantment and alchemy.

Let's summarize

The path of the magician, as you can see, is much simpler. You just need to develop enchantment (create a set of “freeloader magician” :)) and delve into the study of the school of destruction magic.

A warrior does not look for simple paths; we will need alchemy, enchantment, blacksmithing and the weapon skill itself. Every time you create a set of items (for an alchemist and a blacksmith), you should not hesitate to drink the “enchanter’s elixir”. The effect is not great, but everything is a plus. And before the final chord - sharpening - drink the blacksmith's elixir (you can achieve an effect of more than 120% with just one elixir).

The last step is to enchant your "everyday" set of items to improve your mastery of your main weapon. With a developed skill, the enchanter will improve 4 items (ring, amulet, boots and gloves) by at least 40% each. And on the weapon itself you can apply magic damage effects (I prefer cold and shock damage), but this is already a bonus, hardly comparable to the main damage.

As a result, I (and I must admit I was a little lazy - I sometimes disdained alchemy, and I’m still not 100% proficient with one-handed weapons) got this Daedric sword.

I believe the limit would be around 500 units. physical damage and about 60 units of total magic damage. For two-handed weapons physical damage can be received even more, because the base value is higher there.

Comments on “The Ultimate Weapon in Skyrim (TES 5 Skyrim)”

Many comments in “The Ultimate Weapon in Skyrim (TES 5 Skyrim)”

As a result, I made myself an improved Dwemer crossbow that ignores 50% armor - the damage with 100 skill skill and with 4 things that I enchanted myself turned out to be around 650. And this is not the limit because I still haven’t finished the bone armor dragon's lung sharpened for bows and stealth. I'm going through Solstheim Island because there is Azidal armor that gives a 10% bonus to enchantment (the only item that gives a bonus to enchantment) with which it will be possible to make a set of a young alchemist and then a blacksmith even stronger and, accordingly, sharpen the bow even more strongly and apply stronger enchantments to increase damage from small arms. The crossbow now hits the area 648 and the dragon bow 638 something like that, plus there’s also damage from magic, but I don’t count it - I rarely load the crossbow with soul stones - I’m too lazy to go into my inventory. And don’t think that I’m beating everyone down with this crossbow. I set the difficulty level to legendary and all the creatures and NPCs began to bend over me and I kill them once with 5 shots, and I have to shoot 20 arrows at dragons and lurkers before they die, and at the same time they extinguish me the first time, just like ordinary magic NPCs - two lightning strikes and you are ashes. So the game balances your weapon anyway. The only thing that really helps is the triple damage from sneak attacks - I crawl through caves and ruins on my haunches and extinguish everyone from afar - with a sneak attack they die the first or second time. So this is not the limit. I made this crossbow without any bugs. If you use a bug with a restoration potion that gives an exponential infinite increase in all enchantments on clothing, even if it is drunk while naked, then I made a bow with damage “-200...” - that is, the damage there was with a minus sign and did not fit into the window. And I made potions that cost 200,000 and with the effect of increasing enchantment 123,000,000 - if you make the potion stronger - that is, the figure goes beyond a billion, then the game crashes - because such a figure cannot be stored in this variable. And it’s not interesting to play - you knock out everyone with one hit - the only cool thing is probably to make gloves and a ring with increased melee damage and extinguish everyone with your fists))

1. I didn’t want to play as a mage, and I was too lazy to improve the perks for war - I only upgraded heavy armor and one-/two-handed sticks, a solution was found suddenly.
   In Solstheim, Krestius Karelia has a quest. Enter the mine near the town at Raven Rock and listen to him. He will need to get information about his father from the depths of the mines, which the Eastern Imperial Company is hiding from him. After passing it, you will come across ghost draugrs and other strong undead. Get to your father's corpse. Take the diary from him, and most importantly, the Bloodstar sword. Use the sword to open the gate. Return to Krestius and receive 500 gold for the diary. He will not take the sword from you.
   This sword deals only 19 basic damage, but with a power attack it releases a mid-range attack with 30 damage. And it has UNLIMITED such discharges, plus it (although this is not indicated in the properties) has a very high chance of a finishing blow (when there is a death roller enemy) - can overwhelm a lurker with one power attack if he has 40% HP.. This sword lasted me until about level 25. I recommend it to beginners, with level 10-15 character leveling.

   I won’t go into all the details, but I’m afraid that the article was written by a noob.
   For example, enchanting a weapon for cold and electrical damage to get a small bonus...
   AUTHOR, WHAT ARE YOU WHAT?!
   The most delicious thing for a warrior is the ABSORPTION of the reserve of strength and vital energy!
   On the one side, strong blows Now they fly like hail, on the other hand, my health almost doesn’t fly away at all!
   Here he is, a real warrior!
   Otherwise, “cold/electricity”... At the beginning of the game, maybe it would have made the difference.

2. The Elder Scrolls 5.Skyrim.v 1.9.32.0.8 + 4 DLC without other mods can be improved even more than described here. effectiveness of blacksmithing equipment + potion (137% increases the effect of blacksmithing). To do this, you need to develop the skills of alchemy + blacksmithing + enchanting. Each skill has an individual approach. Simply put, you need to increase the effectiveness of the three components (alchemy potion + enchantment skill + blacksmithing + Hermaeus Mora's book on Solstheim (gives a bonus to enchantment) + a set of armor, putting on a full set of them gives another 10% to enchantment) after collecting all this, you will have to sweat, re-enchanting a set of armor to create the most effective potion, after you create the potion, re-enchant the armor for alchemy, blacksmithing until you achieve the maximum effect. Azidal's armor set, which gives a bonus, can be obtained through a quest on Solstime.

The best sword in Skyrim is a good iron blade, which is a one-handed weapon. To own it, you need to sacrifice an iron ingot, strips of leather and 2 steel ingots.

Good an iron sword Very popular in Tamriel for its strength and lethality. The quest where to find the Red Eagle Sword in Skyrim will only be available when you read the book “The Legend of the Red Eagle”. After entering Cairn, you need to insert the Fury of the Red Eagle into the blade slot. Only after this the door to the room with the Red Eagle’s grave will open. You need to clear the location, search the Red Eagle, the chest that stands behind the grave, and take the necessary things from the chest. After leaving the room you need to pick it up from the nest. After this, he will turn into the Curse of the Red Eagle.

Queen Freydis's sword is a quest item. It needs to be delivered to the blacksmith Ongul Anvil in the city of Windhelm, after taking the secondary quest from him. The blacksmith has a great desire to present it to the jarl of his city. You can purchase the blade of Queen Freydis in Skyrim from a blacksmith after completing this quest, because it has ceased to be a quest. It is upgraded with a steel ingot. You can find weapons in Ansilvund, which is located at the foot of Riften.

You can download weapon mods for Skyrim here:

The game has one-handed and two-handed swords. If the hero is armed with a two-handed weapon, he receives big damage, but his enemies also receive considerable damage. Two-handed ones are slower than one-handed ones, so when choosing them you need to calculate the timing of the strike. In the game menu, one-handed ones are located vertically, and two-handed ones are located at an angle. How to carry two swords in Skyrim: To carry two blades on your back, you need to purchase new Witcher swords, silver and steel. They can be behind you at the same time.

How to get the Fierce Sword: it used to be the weapon of Mjoll the Lioness, who lives in Riften. She will ask the hero to find him in the Dwemer ruins of Mzinchaleft, which are located south-west of Dawnstar. There he lies in the very last room on the table, guarded by a Dwemer centurion. Hjalti's sword is the same as the weapon of the famous Tiber Septim. Because this is the same person - the founder of the Tamriel Empire. Founder of the Order of Blades. Blades for a long time kept his armor. Hjalti led the Battle of Sank'Tor as a young man, where he gained a reputation as a great strategist, practitioner, and general. The Sword of Blades is a one-handed blade, the parameters of which are affected by the level of the hero at the time of his first passage through the ruins of Frostmere. The Ebony Sword is also a one-handed sword that can be removed from the corpses of Draugr Overlords/Warlords. When the guards see him, they will say: “How handsome! Just like a lunar path on water!”

Preparation

The most obvious thing you'll need are enchanting, potting, and forging locations, which are scattered throughout Skyrim.
Second - skills developed to 100 Enchantments , Alchemy And blacksmith craft . In the thread Enchantments The perks "Enchanter (5\5)" and "Enchant Skills" were taken. IN Alchemy- "Alchemist (5\5)" and "Pharmacist". IN Blacksmithing - "Dragon armor"(you need most powerful weapons, right?).
The following are the studied effects of enchantment on skill increases Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Shooting, One-handed weapons And Two-handed weapons.
Last but not least - a lot of raw materials. For the manufacture of weapons and armor, potions and, in fact, for enchanting. Suitable as ingredients for potions Glowing mushroom And Fierce mushroom(for blacksmithing); Blue butterfly wing And snow berries(for enchantment). And we only need soul stones that contain great soul (Great And Black stones). 40 pieces.

Making potions

At this stage we need to make potions of the highest possible strength. This process is labor-intensive and does not exclude errors. So save so as not to lose resources.

1. We enchant all possible clothes for Skill Upgrade: Alchemy. To do this, you can limit yourself to the basic set - ring, amulet, gloves And helmet.
   You can expand the list of items by installing modifications. I used a cloak, which is added by many mods. For example, or. And if you somehow play on older versions, you can take advantage of a bug that allows you to put as many as 2 items on your head. To do this, first put on Falmer Helmet, and on top of it - any hoop.
2. Mix one or two potions (depending on your quickness).
3. We drink the potion and quickly enchant a new set of clothes to Skill Upgrade: Alchemy. Hurry up, because the potion only lasts 30 seconds. With proper skill, this time is just enough to enchant 5 items.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until you’re blue in the face. But after 5 or 6 iterations it becomes useless. There is practically no difference between the new potion and the potion obtained in the previous step.
5. Let's brew a few more potions Skill Upgrades: Enchantment and several Skill Upgrades: Blacksmithing.

Maximizing Damage

First you need to make a skill improving kit Blacksmithing. To do this, we again drink a bottle of the stored potion, which improves the skill enchantments. And we enchant this time bib, gloves, ring And amulet.

Afterword

Now you can joyfully ride on your faithful Shadowmane right up to Sovngarde, and shouting "FUS-RO-DAH, flying chicken!" one-shot Alduina along with half of the Tamrielic pantheon.

Of course, no one is stopping you from making your Dovahkiin in the same way an armored bra that can withstand direct hit atomic bomb, or (I find it hard to believe) the Giant’s blow. But why deprive yourself of the pleasure of flying lower layers atmosphere, huh?

As already mentioned, repeating the above actions kills almost all interest in the game. Use as a last resort, or for experimental purposes.

We present to your attention powerful, cool-looking weapons that will not only add power to you, but also add additional charisma to your appearance.

This is our second list in a general series of reviews of various modifications for Skyrim. This time, we're focusing on weapon mods that will give you the strength and confidence befitting of a Dragonborn.

As with armor, we start with what's fuller. The Blade of Ancient Languages ​​has an embossed symbol of Akatosh and the inscription: “Dovahkiin - sworn with honor to the fight against evil.” As you can see, this one-handed sword looks better than any vanilla weapon in the game, and we think it's perfect for the Dragonborn's hand.

The Royal Arsenal adds about 20 lore weapons to Skyrim. Moreover, the pack fits perfectly into the concept of “exceptional weapons for exceptional people” - for example, you will notice some blades from the modification on outstanding personalities Skyrim, such as General Thulius and Ulfric.

Have you ever thought that the vanilla Ebony Blade doesn't look very impressive? Or that it doesn't fit well with the ebony armor set? If it seemed, then this modification was created for you. As you can see from the screenshots, the detailing and impressiveness of the blade have increased significantly. The weapon comes with a good enchantment and three variations available for crafting.

A small combo of several bow mods. Firstly, a modification that adds sights to bows. In addition to the ability to look like a cool medieval sniper, the mod also eliminates the need to use the in-game scope, which is very useful for those who like to turn off the interface in the name of complete immersion in the game.

Secondly, a modification that adds the Epirus bow to the world of Skyrim. The weapon looks great, absorbs magic, launches enemies into the air, and has well-made effects and sound.

Another combo - this time melee - includes famous weapons from the world of Warcraft, namely Frostmourne and Shadowmourne. The Ax of Darkmourne definitely wins in detail and elaboration, but the Frostmourne is not far behind in its splendor; both copies are ideal for the world of Skyrim, especially if your Dovahkiin is far from a nice fellow.

In our top armor mods, we managed to recommend armor from TERA - now it’s quite logical to recommend weapons from TERA. Most blades are low lore, but some are a little more versatile than others and could fit well into the Tamriel universe. However, we can say with confidence that all the weapons look great, and if you want to play a powerful fantasy character that stands out from the crowd, this mod is for you.

A modification that adds three rather unique, lore weapons of war to the world of Skyrim: the Dwemer lightning bident, the chitinous recurve bow and the chitinous two-handed sword called Poisonous Malice. Each weapon has its own enchantments and effects, and all examples are beautifully detailed.

Well, just look at them. If their appearance alone is not enough, then know that although they are called Divine Swords, their power is only slightly greater than the power of Daedric weapons. However, each blade comes with a different enchantment, making the name a little more appropriate. The swords are also somewhat large, which potentially calls into question their lore quality. The set is inspired by the game Runescape and, as you can see from the pictures, has an incredible level of detail.

Another guest from Warcraft. Quel'Delar is made in three variations - one-handed, two-handed and dagger. Meticulously recreated WoW weapons with high detail and cool looks. Ideal for Dovahkiin warrior.

This modification lands at the top of our list - if only because these 12 unique blades with a bunch of variations and a harsh appearance are incredibly detailed and look simply wonderful. Add to this their curved design, giving them a Hammerfellian touch and high lore, and you can immediately understand why this mod is at the top of our list.

As usual, we start with something more complete, namely with Viking weapons. With this modification you will have access to six items - two axes, two swords and two shields. The entire arsenal is lore-based and fits perfectly into the cold northern aesthetics of Skyrim - plus, high detail and ease of use.

Want to stand out? Want to blind your enemies with the shine of your blade? A Final Fantasy-inspired sword comes to your rescue. There is nothing more eye-catching than a golden sword in one-handed and two-handed variations, shining with a special blue power. Final Fantasy in Skyrim? Why not?

A mod that adds exactly what its name promises - the Blade of Intrigue. A one-handed rapier, not rich in powerful stats, but pleasant to look at and stands out favorably in the vanilla Skyrim arsenal.

Another Excalibur. A more fantasy version of the blade, but a little more consistent with the appearance of the real Excalibur. The sword is equipped with a beautiful guard with luminous runes, gradually turning into the blade itself. The mod is equipped with one-handed and two-handed variations.

Stormbreaker? What about Scythe-Petrel? It's as if someone imagined Thor and Hela coming together to create this magnificent weapon of impressive appearance, high detail and unprecedented power - all for your entertainment.

When it comes to weapon mods, daggers tend to get the short end of the stick. This modification corrects the problem, bringing into the game perhaps the most luxurious dagger in the whole wide world. From hilt to blade, the weapon is highly detailed and as if created for roleplaying a powerful and stylish assassin.

If you've ever played Diablo, you know how impressive the angels look with their golden armor and powerful weapons. This modification will add to Skyrim a sword inspired by El'druin - the blade of Tyrael, the archangel of justice and wisdom. Just look at it and you will immediately understand that you will never need any other sword again.

Another weapon charged with the power of lightning. The Thunder Fury is an epic weapon straight out of World of Warcraft that will destroy any enemy that stands in your way. If by some miracle someone survives and tries to counterattack, don’t worry - the mod will also give you the Bulwark of Azinoth, a spiked shield that will become an impenetrable fortress wall between you and your opponent.

World Of Warcaft is a treasure trove of great, iconic weapons that are just begging to be brought into the world of Skyrim. Chalamane is by no means an exception to the general rule. Finally, we have the opportunity to experience all the greatness of the blade in the lands of Tamriel - both in one-handed and two-handed variations.

No matter what kind of hammer bearer you want to be - WoW's Orgrim or Thor - you'll love this hammer. Without a doubt, one of the best weapon mods for Skyrim, with a 4K version. There is no need to talk much about it - just look at it and start downloading immediately.
