Trom-ka, friend! To celebrate the release of Skyrim Special Edition, a remastered version with HD textures, we're releasing a series of articles on the subject. The first will be an article about choosing and finding the best weapons and armor. And, since I like speed and lightness better, we'll start with one-handed weapons, shields, and light armor.

For your peace of mind, Skyrim Special Edition includes all of the add-ons for the original game, so all the items below will be available to you.

The best one-handed weapon in Skyrim

Undoubtedly the most powerful weapon with basic damage is dragon, but it is also much heavier (except for daggers, where a dagger made of dragon bone is only 0.5 kg heavier). Underperforming by one point of base damage, a Stalhrim Mace or ax will be significantly lighter and overall better, with the exception of swords, where the vaunted Daedric Blade has more base damage and almost the same weight.

All of these weapons can be enchanted, but you can't enchant unique artifacts (in most cases), so some of the weapons below can only be good if you do not have such a specialization.

Mace of Molag Bal
16 18
“Steals 25 Magicka and 25 Strength per hit. Soul capture."
The weapon is forged from ebony, is 1kg lighter than unnamed examples, and has base dragon damage. You can get a task on it in an abandoned house in Mokart.
Sword of Miraak
16 3
"Steals 15 power per hit"
An unprecedentedly light sword, only 3 kg and damage to the most powerful dragon weapon. Unfortunately, you can get it only at the end of the game, during the main storyline (taking into account the presence of the Dragonborn add-on).
Mehrunes Razor
11 3
"Instant death occurs with a 1.5% chance."
3.5 kg lighter than a dragon dagger, but 2 less base damage. Despite this, due to its effect, makes the dagger good option for the left hand. The quest can be started by visiting the museum in Dawnstar.

The best light armor in Skyrim

From the crafting sets in the game, two of the most powerful light armors are available: Stalhrim (with the Dragonborn add-on) and Dragonscale. The difference between them is small, and if one element of armor is better, then the other is worse.

Stalhrim boots, bracers have the same base armor stat as the dragon.

With a bib and a helmet, not everything is clear.

The breastplate is lighter by 3 kg, but less in armor by 2. It makes sense to wear Elven gilded armor, the armor class is 6 lower, but its weight is 6 less.

The shield is undoubtedly made of dragon scales - the weight is 4 lighter, yielding only 1 in armor.

The helmet is lighter by 2 kg, but less in armor by 1. But in terms of armor, in comparison with the Masks of the dragon priests, any other light helmet pales. Krosis, Volsung or Miraak (Dragonborn) will suit you. You can collect all 8 basic masks and travel to the past, where you will awaken the leader's heavy mask. Krosis is the best freely available, head to Double Peak to get it.

Skyrim Legendary Light Armor

If you don’t enchant armor yourself, then you will be interested in legendary sets, and if you don’t have the DLC installed, the best you can get is scolding from the Dark Brotherhood, or rather its old version in the faction task “Find an assassin from the past”. Her kits, if they have, if not the same parameters, then a bit better.

There are two more Powerful Bundles available to Dragonborn owners.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim contains a lot of loot that no player can have the same stock after a couple of minutes of playing. Weapons, of course, are vital, but what to choose?

Now Skyrim is coming to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation VR, we're revisiting our Skyrim guides to make sure new adventurers have everything they need to extract maximum benefit from this huge game. In this guide, we are talking about weapons.

In truth, there aren't many absolutely better weapons in Skyrim, thanks to the fact that some use of enchantments and other mechanics can make just about any weapon viable with any difficulty - even your bare fists! With that said, some of the most famous weapons in the game are unique weapon, which can be found in certain places or through certain quests. Each unique weapon has its own set properties, a unique name, and very often an enchantment that will give it some sort of special advantage.

What weapon do you have in Skyrim, you can write about it in the comments!

Best Skyrim Daggers

There are over ten unique daggers in the game, but we're going to focus on a couple that we think are especially excellent. If you're creating a character for stealth play, they can prove to be quite a significant weapon for you for quite some time.

Mehrunes Razor

Mehrunes' Razor is a decent little dagger thanks to its base damage status of 11, but what really sets it apart is its enchantments. Any strike with Mehrunes' Razor has a chance to instantly kill the enemy.

To get the Razor of Mehrunes, you need to complete the quest "Pieces of the Past" and kill Silus Vesuya at the end of the quest. You will be prompted to complete this quest once you reach level 20 via the courier, or you may stumble upon the quest while walking around Dawnstar; where they will tell you about the museum of Silus, that's where you need to go to start the mission.

Blade of Woe

This dagger is even more powerful than the Mehrunes Razor with a base damage of 12, its enchantment is useful for fighting powerful enemies - each hit absorbs 10 health points.

The Blade of Woe can be obtained from an NPC during the Death Incarnate quest, part of the Dark Brotherhood faction questline. You can also follow the early quest steps and kill Astrid during the With Friends Like These quest. You will be able to take the Blade of Woe from her body, but you will no longer be able to join the Brotherhood.

Weapon Damage Weight Upgrade with Ingot, Perk Effect
Dragon Bone Dagger 12 6,5 Dragon bone, dragon armor No
Blade of Woe 12 7 steel ingot Drain 10 health
Mehrunes Razor 11 3 Ebony Ingot 1.98% chance to instantly kill, infinite charges
Daedric Dagger 11 6 Ebony Bar, Daedric Smith No
Stalhrim Dagger 10 4.5 Ebony Armor Frost spell charm is 25% stronger

Best Skyrim Maces

There are even fewer unique maces in the game, but some of them are still impressive. Clubs are really meant for people who want to master real strength character and deal devastating blows to your enemies.

Mace of Molag Bal

This artifact is quite powerful, with a base damage of 16. It also comes with an enchantment that takes away 25 damage, stamina, and magicka. On top of that, if the target dies within 3 seconds, you will fill a soul gem.

The best unique maces in Skyrim

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has blunt weapons for every taste. You can pick up something cool for any situation, the unique maces in the game alone are enough to arm a small army.

Both Strangler and Crimson Scythe are great at absorbing magical energy and health, as well as lowering the enemy's physical and magical resistance.

To get both blades, you need to reach level 36, and then you have to sail to the island of Solstheim, where the Dragonborn story develops. Then only a little remains: find the book "Deathbrand" in Tel Mithryn or on Raven Rock and complete the task of the same name.

How to get the Black Blade of Goldur

Another weapon, the effectiveness of which is determined by the strength of the character when you first enter the location of the task upon receipt. In the best case, the base damage of the Black Blade of Gauldur will be 36. This is very cool, but the sword can still be improved in the forge, having the forging perk of Dwarven equipment.

The best unique axes in Skyrim

Not as versatile as swords, axes are still very popular, especially among the wild Nords. Among the heaps of various rubbish, only two really good axes can be distinguished: Okin and the Dawnguard Rune Axe.

How to get okin weapons

A very impressive looking ax in the Nordic style. It takes cold damage, burns the enemy's stamina and has a base damage of 12. It is worth upgrading, since for this you only need a perk for forging steel equipment.

To get Okin in your calloused hands, you need to complete the Silenced Tongues quest. You can take it at the very end of the study of the mound Volundrud (Volunruud). Actually, Okin is a reward for completing the quest. By the way, Okin has a related weapon - Eduj, but it is not as cool as it might seem at first glance.

How to get the Dawnguard Rune Ax weapon

As the name suggests, this piece of Tamriel's brilliant military thought is part of the . Deals light damage to the walking dead, and this damage is dynamic: the more "dead" killed since the last dawn, the greater the damage. And the base damage is pretty good too.

Getting a weapon is not difficult - you just need to move along the storyline of the add-on. Sooner or later, Dovakin will get to the Lost Relic quest.

This is actually a radiant quest, which means that it can be repeated many times, each time receiving a new reward. Therefore, it is likely that you will have to go several times to clean up another hot spot so that fate favors Dovakin and rewards him Rune Ax Guardians of the Dawn.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has a truly huge number of weapons and most often the player is lost in the choice.

The best axes, two-handed swords and warhammers in Skyrim

There are fewer two-handed weapons in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, so it is logical to combine the different classes of such weapons into one section. Here best axes, two-handed swords and combat young in the game: Wuuthrad Axe, Rueful Axe, Bloodskal, Volendrung and Dawnguard Rune Hammer.

How to get the weapon Ax Vuutrad

This thing is perfect for those who want to settle scores with the elves. Wuuthrad does more damage against eared races, and the base value is also quite high - 25. This is a damn powerful ax!

The path to the Ax Wuthrad lies through the passage of the Companions storyline. It will have to be completed completely, since only at the end of the last task, Glory of the Dead, Dovakin gets the opportunity to grab Wuutrad with both hands.

How to get the weapon Ax of Sorrow

A Daedric Prince named Clavicus Vile describes the weapon as "powerful enough to have fun." And this is pretty close to the truth - the Ax of Sorrow in the base version deals 22 damage, and also burns the stamina of enemies. In addition, it can be improved in the forge, if you have the appropriate skill.

The Ax of Sorrow can be obtained as a reward for completing the Daedric quest A Daedra's Best Friend. But before moving on to it, you should grow to at least level 10. After Dovakin becomes strong enough, you need to find a character named Lod (Lod) near the entrance to Falkreath. There will be many more funny and not so adventures to come.

How to get the Bloodskul weapon

Appeared in the game after the release of the Dragonborn add-on. It's hefty two-handed sword, which at strong blow causes a magical explosion. Even without taking into account the impressive physical damage, Blaskal is valued for the fact that the burst of energy deals 30 damage!

To become the owner of Blaskal, you need to start the passage of the storyline of the Dragonborn add-on, and then, having arrived in Solstheim, go to the Raven Rock Mine and take the side quest "The Final Descent" from a character named Crescius Karelli (Crescius Caerellius). The blade will lie near the remains of Gratian (Gratian) in a deep dungeon.

How to get Volendrang weapon

An impressively sized warhammer can seriously scare an impressionable hero with its demonic relief. But his damage is much worse - 47! When struck, Volendrang not only easily breaks the strongest bones, but also burns stamina, which is very convenient for Dovakin, because in order to make a good swing with such a hammer, one’s own strength will obviously be small.

Associated with obtaining Volendrang is The Cursed Tribe quest, which begins in the orc stronghold of Largashbur. Arriving there, the hero must help the local orcs cope with a bunch of problems and at the same time show himself in a favorable light in front of the Daedric prince Malacath (Malacat).

How to get the Dawnguard Rune Hammer weapon

Not the best in its class (base damage is 22), but definitely very useful in some situations. It's all about enchantments: they allow you to place fire traps on different surfaces. Thus, it is very easy to deal with many opponents who prefer to fight close.

As with other Dawnguard rune weapons, you need to complete the Lost Relic dynamic quest. The task is quite troublesome, although it is randomly generated: you need to clear the dungeons, filled to capacity with all sorts of evil spirits and undead.

If you're lucky, the Dawnguard Rune Hammer will be Dovahkiin's reward. For sure. More likely. Maybe. May be. Some day. Sooner or later... Well, if you buy Dawnguard, of course.

The best unique bows in Skyrim

A bow will be useful for almost every hero, but it is especially often used by those who, for some reason, do not want to “dirty their hands” by waving all sorts of sharp things like some kind of savage or barbarian. There are plenty of bows in the game, but only 3 of them will serve Dovakin the best: The Nightingale Bow, Glass Bow of the Stag Prince and Gauldur Blackbow.

How to get the Nightingale Bow weapon

This weapon belongs to Karliah, a member of the thieves' guild and the protagonist's temporary companion during certain quests. The Nightingale Bow enchantment allows you to freeze and electrocute a target, which is often useful in different situations. It is also another weapon that depends on the level of the character. It is not worth taking it too early, it is better to wait. For example, up to level 46. It is then that the Nightingale Bow will become as powerful as possible.

To convince Karliah to give up the bow, you will have to join the Thieves Guild and follow its storyline. It's pretty long haul, which will only end on the Blindsighted mission. The bow will be given to the character as a reward for completing the quest. By the way, Dovakin will also receive an “infinite” master key (Skeleton Key), but who cares about such trifles?

How to get the Stag King's Glass Bow

The name is far from the most remarkable thing that this weapon has. It blesses the owner with a special effect - increases health and stamina while the bow is equipped. To get a blessing, you need to kill 20 animals. Not so much, but not so little!

You can get the Stag King's Glass Bow from Falas Selvayn at the Ramshacle Trading Post. Oh yes, that's right, this location is on the island of Solstheim, so you have to go sailing after purchasing the DLC Dragonborn.

How to get the Blackbow of Gauldur weapon

Like the Nightingale Bow, this piece of ancient Nordic craftsmanship is a weapon whose power is directly related to the level of the hero. It is exposed at the moment when Dovakin first enters the location where, in fact, the bow is located.

Goldur's Blackbow deals 36 damage on impact and absorbs magic. It is convenient if the main character knows a couple of powerful spells.

As with Goldur's Black Sword, the bow can be obtained from the Forbidden Legend quest. For this quest to appear in the journal, you must read the book "The Lost Legends of Skyrim". You can find it in the most different places, you just need to be careful. Well, or just search the lifeless body of the "adventurer" in the "Lake Cliff" location.

But the bow has its own dungeon - Geirmund's Hall. The ancient and not quite alive (and not dead!) Sigdis Gauldurson lives there. The bow is in his hands, you just need to ask well.
