Updated 18 May 2025, Britt Poteet: After its release, Skyrim continues to enjoy Skyrim after his release. We have added several other swords that help players find the most powerful, unique blade that fits their style, whether they play or return to the old favorite for the first time.

Legend about Zelda Master Sword

This is one of the coldest Skyrim, but probably the most stunning unique swords. Having one of the most famous swords in the game culture is nothing but an honor, especially when it is paired with an equally famous shield. It is remarkably stronger than a standard steel sword, the only disadvantage is that it requires an upgrade Moonstone.

This means that it is still a surprisingly low key for such a reputable weapon. It is overcome by the Elven blade, which is quite low according to medium and late standards. It is also available only in the Nintendo Switch version. Although it seems fair, limited accessibility is lower on the list. You can get it immediately with Amiibo. But if not, you have to find him a terribly uncomfortable trek to the top of the neck of the world.

20

Ghostblade

Ghostblade does not cause much damage, because its basic damage is only eight. However, Ghostblade has a unique spectral appearance and effect that allows him to spend three additional damage points that ignore enemy armor.

If you want a sword with a unique design and a useful effect, GhostBlade can be perfect for your character. It may not be the strongest weapon in Skyrim, but Ghostblade has its place among the most interesting swords that you can get in the basic game.

19

Chillrend

Many weapons in Skyrim cause severe frost damage; For this ability, however, many swords are not better than Chillrend. Chillrend is a glass sword that causes 15 damage to the base along with 30 freezing points. You also have a chance to paralyze the enemy when you hit them with a chillrend.

Chillrend has not only a really great design, because it's a glass sword, but it's also one of the strongest one -handed weapons that you can get in Skyrim. One disadvantage about Chillrend is that you have to join the thief guild to eventually get it, which may not be more convenient if you play the role of the hero.

18

DRAINHEART SWORD

Another spectral sword, the sword Drainheart is a strong weapon that appears to be scary in its design. The drainheart sword causes 11 damage to the base and absorbs 15 stamina from the enemies that hit. It is particularly useful if you play as a warrior, because this type of character is necessary stamina.

If you want the strongest unique sword in the country, there are better options; Drainheart, however, is a useful weapon ideal for theft of endurance from enemies that you will encounter on your adventure.

17

Ed

Eduj may be the weakest of the bunch on this list, but it's a nice sword in the early game. It has an ancient Nordic appearance, but comes with a general frost. Eduj causes 11 damage to the foundation and causes ten freezing damage to health and stamina. Because Frost is one of the best spells, it's a good choice for beginners.

If you want to get eduj (and his twin Okin), head to Volunruud and start the task of “silenced languages”. You have to beat the flower of the tongue that controls these two weapons in the fight. Once it is down, grab the sword from your corpse. If you are trying to find this place, you may want to wait for the Quest Dark Brotherhood Quest to lead you for the Amaund Motierre.

16

Bolalar's Oathblade

Oathblade was a peak between unique swords thanks to its cold appearance. It looks like Katana, just like Blalades swords. Oathblade causes 11 points of damage to the bases and also causes 25 stamina. All levels of levels 12 or less escape after 30 seconds when they hit.

If you want to get your hands, go to the inflated men of the cave, where Acilius Bolar put the blade on the sanctuary of Talos along with a written news before it killed Thalmor in the fight.

15

Red Eagle's Fury

During the legend Questline Red Eagle you can get a furious Red Eagle sword as a reward. This one -handed old Blade Nord Blade gives 30 seconds to enemy damage during the fight.

A solid alternative to Dawnbreaker gives you a leg against undead enemies up to level 16 when they flee from your flames. This unique sword is great for fighting vampires and draugg.

14

Gauldur Blackblade

If you like the ancient Nordic style of weapons, Gauldur Blackblade is a decent choice. With 11 damage, it also removes 25 health points from the target and converts them to Wielder. The sword does not have a set level, so depending on how high you are when you find it, its statistics may be lower or higher.

If you want to find this blade, you have to start a quest “forbidden legend” by reading a book called Lost Legends or alternatively by reading the writing of a seal, which is randomly found in some Nordic ruins. The sword is controlled by Micrul Gauldurson and you have to beat him before you can exclude the sword from his corpse.

13

Grimsever

There are not so many unique glass swords in Skyrim, so Grimsever is quite rare in the game. Unfortunately, given the nature of the task, in fact, you do not get this sword if you hire Mjoll Lioness as a follower and access to her inventory. If you want to start the task, go to Riften, and talk to Mjoll, who will give you an effort to find her lost sword.

Grimsever causes 12 damage to the basic and also causes decent frost damage to health and endurance. While many generally enchanted swords can be better than Grimsever, it can still be a strong weapon at the beginning of the game.

12

Dawnbreaker

Dawnbreaker is a very unique sword and Daedric artifact. As a weapon, it divided the opinions of fans on many occasions. However, there is time and place for this sword to be incredibly useful, given how often you have to fight the hordes of the undead Draug.

The Dawnbreaker is a reward for the completion of Quest Meridia “Break of Dawn”, which is launched by accidentally finding Meridia lighthouse as prey. It hurts 12 damage to the base and also burns enemies for ten seconds. If you make a killed wound on an undead enemy, it has a chance to create an explosion effect that affects the undead near. It is a weapon of a warrior when he sinks deep into the Nordic ruins.
