Daedric Weapons
- The Daedric weapons come in many forms; battleaxes, bows, daggers, swords, greatswords, war axes, maces, and warhammers. Choose the weapon that best fits your character build.
- Daggers can be dual-wielded and swung quickly, while battleaxes are slow but provide more damage per hit. In the center of the curve is the greatsword used two-handed.
- While Daedric weapons aren’t the best in the game by default, they can be upgraded, unlike the unique weapons listed below.
- To create a truly powerful weapon, pick one that fits your build, that matches your skills, then smith and enchant. Increasing your smithing and enchant skills to maximum with perks will allow you to upgrade Daedric weapons.
- The trickiest part of building Daedric weapons is getting your hands on Daedra Hearts. Daedra Hearts are dropped by Daedra, or demons, and these monsters alone are very rare in Skyrim.
- After reaching level 25, all Achemist vendors have a chance to carry a Daedra heart for sale. Play the Thieve’s Guild faction quests to unlock a College of Winterhold Fence, they will also sell Daedra Hearts.
- Another source of Daedra Hearts is through Enthir, in the Hall of Attainment in the College of Winterhold. Introduce yourself, they’ll sell and restock Daedra Hearts every two days. Beware, completing the College of Winterhold faction quest string will make you unable to purchase Daedra hearts from Enthir.
- To create Daedric Weapons, you need a skill level of 90 in smithing, and taken the Daedric Smithing Perk. While leveling up your Enchant skill, take the Enchanter perk until it is maxed out at 5, then your weapons will become 100% stronger.
- Use fortify smithing potions to boost your smithing skill once Enchantment is fully leveled up to boost the strength of your smithed weapons even higher. With full Smithing and Enchantment skills, an upgraded Daedric two-handed sword can kill everything but a dragon in one hit.
- The Daedric Dagger can also be a destructive weapon with a Sneak skill higher than 50, allowing the player a times 15 damage bonus to sneak attacks. For the stealth player, this can be a very deadly weapon.
- For players not interested in upgrading, scroll down to see other unique weapons that can be discovered in Skyrim.
- This special battle-axe has identical stats to the Daedric Battleaxe, except it weighs less. For players with a high skill in two-handed weapons, this is a great find.
- Found during the Companion’s faction quest string. This unique axe can also be enchanted further, unlike other weapons with an enchantment already, giving this special weapon added versatility for enchanters.

- Found inside the Bloated Man’s Grotto, on the northern edge of Falkreath, east of Sunderstone Gorge. This katana-style sword is worth a good amount of gold for early adventurers.
- The sword itself comes with a double enchantment; draining stamina and instilling fear in your enemies with every strike.
- Another unique katana-style weapon. This sword is enchanted with a +25 damage bonus to dragons, and a +10 shock damage bonus to everything else.
- Find the sword in Sky Haven Temple, near the Karthspire in the Reach. Search near about the center of the Reach territory.

- To receive this sword, you’ll need to complete “The Break of Dawn” quest. Start this quest by discovering the Shrine of Meridia, found south of Wolfskull Cave, west of Solitude. You must be over level 12 to start this quest.
- This unique weapon isn’t very powerful but it does offer a series of strange and random effects with every hit. To find the Wabbajack, you must complete “The Mind of Madness” quest. Start the quest by talking to Dervenin, a beggar wandering around Solitude.
- The weapon is enchanted to cause an unpredictable and random effect. Not every effect is good though, so check out the list of known effects: fireball, thunderbolt, frost rune explosion, invisibility on the target, disintegrate, clone target, summons a dremora to fight for the target, and transformation effects.
- Transformation effects range from chickens, to mud crabs, to Dremora Lords. Very rarely, the target will transform into a coin.
- The Wabbajack is a Daedric Artifact, but it’s effects must be recharged, and the effects don’t work on dragons.
