Skyrim: 5 Secret and Unique Weapons You May Have Missed in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim (Part 4)

hey how's it going guys it's Nate here and Skyrim is a land home to many dangers monsters dragon zombie bandits it seems like in any direction you look a battle may await thankfully the world of the Elder Scrolls 5 also offers you the Dragonborn access to an almost bottomless arsenal of powerful weapons spread across the realm just waiting for you to wield them now well any bow is sword or battle ax can be pretty cool there are a handful of unique rare or otherwise secret items that are especially impressive and warrant some further discussion and exploration so covering some of those will be the object of today's video throw some more wood on the fire pour yourself out a glass of your favorite mead and relax as we take a look at five more secret and rare items you may have missed in the elderscrolls v skyrim part 4 I suspect starting off we have dragon vein this is a unique acha very katana the player can find just lying on a table in a small room in the northern wing of Sky Haven temple and it's a strange beast now before we dive too deep into the blade itself do keep in mind that since it's in sky Haven temple you will have to progress around halfway through scarves main questline before you can even get to it and even then if you take it it will be marked as stolen unless you opt to join the blades and kill Paarthurnax at the end of the game which judging by some pulley nobody wants to do so just be weary anyway I digress the first thing that makes dragonbane unique aside from its name is its custom enchantment and accompanying visual effect dragon main does extra damage to dragons and delivers 10 points of shock damage per hit no other weapon in the game does this well okay shock damage isn't special but extra damage concentrated against dragons sure is hence the sword being the bane of all dragons additionally the katana has a special aesthetic effect that causes spar and electricity to fizzle and flow alongside the length of the blade well some shocked enchanted weapons will glow blue and whatnot the actual sparks flying out of the item is totally custom to dragonbane which makes it especially appealing to collectors and stunning to view in darker interiors now you may notice that I have yet to tell you this weapons exact stats I've explained its effects an enchantment but not the actual numerical values behind everything or how much damage the sword does that's because while only one dragonbane exists for you to acquire in the entire game there's technically five different versions of it that may spawn in depending on your level each with different stats so while the weakest version of this weapon spawns in four players level 1 through 18 and does 10 points of damage and an extra 20 damage to dragons the strongest version which spawns in after you've reached level 46 deals 14 points of base damage and an extra 42 dragons so quite a bit of variety there again there's five different versions between these two extremes making it kind of difficult to describe how effective dragon Bane is I mean it varies though luckily the shock damage value will not change at all so there's a little bit of consistency for us overall though at its best dragon Bane is an alright addition to your arsenal the damage emitted from it for a one-handed weapon isn't great but the extra shock damage helps out a good bit but until you are battling with dragons realistically speaking this is probably something to keep displayed in a glass box or somewhere prominently in a gallery as there are other items available earlier in the game that are just as effective if not more so though there are not many that are quite as pretty next on our list okay this item is kind of weird because well it's not necessarily a quest item I guess it can be cabo Zane's feign is a unique dragon priests dagger the can radiantly spawn in in a number of Nordic ruins usually found in the final chambers next to an end dungeon boss its placement is random though and there's only one that will ever spawn in in the entire world so it may be a while before you come across kaavo's in Spain for yourself when you first do though it seems like nothing fancy dealing a measly six points of damage per swing it's just like any other dragon priest dagger and considering there's no explanation offered behind this items name at least initially it appears totally out of place and useless however it does have one special power and this is where it's sort of quest item status kicks in when Cabos aims Fane is equipped and the inventory of a slain dragon is entered you'll be able to loot a unique kind of item called the dragon heart scales on top of all the normal things that appear in ad ovas inventory like dragon bones and scales these heart scales don't do much they're useless in crafting or enchanting though can be sold for 250 base septums each so that's actually pretty neat but on to the point why is this dagger a thing why is it letting us loop these weird items from the inventories of dragons what's going on here well if the player has reached level 90 in the alteration magical skill tree and are an active member of the College of Winterhold you can speak to Toth dear one of the professors and ask if there's anything more you can do to learn about alteration magic he'll respond by explaining not exactly but he does have one task he need some help with and if you do so he'll teach you a new spell he'll ask that you bring him a dragon heart scale which he describes as an extremely rare alchemical ingredient that can only be sliced off the corpses of dragons with an extremely sharp and equally legendary blade known as Cabo Zane's Fang never mind the fact that you can have this conversation with theer long before the Dragons show up but he claims that Cabo Zayn's Fang was made from the tooth of adobo worshipped by a specific sect of the ancient dragon cult and allegedly it's the only object in the world that possesses the ability to cut off dragon heart scales the quest will then direct you to wherever Cabo Zayn's Fang can be found on your map if you've yet to already pick it up and then all you need to do is use it to collect a heart skill or two and bring it back to complete the quest and have told you reward you with a new leveled spell so that's what kaavo's aim exists for it's a quest item that can just spawn in prematurely is all I will say despite how ineffective it is in combat keeping it in your inventory may not be a bad idea just in case you encounter and defeat a dragon as heart scales do again sell for 250 gold and a couple will usually come in on any dov'è so well it may not do you well as a weapon of war it can't earn you a good bit of coin and because it's a quest item it's not like you can remove it from your inventory anyway so might as well get something out of it coming in at number 3 we set sail for the island of soul Stein to take a gander at what is honestly among my favorite items in the game the champions cudgel this is a unique Warhammer you can find in the ruins of fort frost moth wielded by a zombified general Falks cariah's I've told it before so I'll try to be brief but the story behind this hammer and especially its wielder is pretty cool essentially false christs was a character we could meet back in the elder scrolls three more wins Blood Moon DLC he commanded the Imperial garrison at Fort frost moth and in fact occupied a pretty pivotal role in the narrabeen struggle against her scene in that expansion he was a strong ally after the eruption of the Red Mountain between the events of more wind and Skyrim he seems to have passed away and just before the events of the Dragonborn DLC the poor guy was resurrected by a deranged necromancer now he's hostile against all things living but it says warhammer itself that were interested in today and man is it interesting it sports a totally custom model and texture with an Imperial dragon edged onto its sides and a knee array of spikes dotting its face to make for an especially intimidating aesthetic the stats are almost just as impressive with the base damage rating of twenty four only three points weaker than a Daedric warhammer which is quite strong already but the champions cudgels enchantment is going to make it even better you see it comes with the chaos damage effect this isn't a unique enchantment by any means it's somewhat rare but can be found on a couple of items throughout the Dragonborn DLC and man is chaos damage not insanely opie it grants a 50% chance to deal 25 points of fire frost and/or shock damage independently per hit the keyword being independently each of those types of destruction magic fire frost and shock has a chance to trigger what this means is that each hit can deal up to 75 points of extra destruction magic damage if you're lucky and all three trigger and that's surprisingly common it's also not uncommon to do 50 points of extra damage as two values trigger so chaos damage is a lot more powerful than you might initially suspect in fact I'd argue it's perhaps the most powerful enchantment in the entire game and combining that with a weapon already as strong as the champions cudgel really makes for an amazing combination this warhammer is just all around a great weapon that will serve you well both in a display case and on the battlefield to 4/4 spot if the last item we just went over the champions cudgel was this amazing item to use in combat and also looked great I think it's time we share something that's the exact opposite this is Bohr veers dagger a technically unique elven dagger that can be found at journeyman's nook a very tiny Nordic ruin located in winter hold when we first arrived at the nook we'll find what appears to be what remains of a very small laboratory occupied by the corpse of a mage named for veer who has multiple arrows sticking out of his back and a very aggressive bandit who likely is responsible for putting those arrows in bore veers back after the bandit has been slain we can do some looking around and honestly there's not much of significance here there's a few books but nothing that really explains who bore fear was however next to his corpse will be bore beers unique dagger now the really funny thing here is that aside from its name boromir's dagger only has one special property its base value you see while a normal dagger sells for 95 septums poor viewers only sells for 18 thus right the only thing that makes this item special is the fact that it's worse than the generic brand I don't think that occurs very often with any other weapons okay so at this point you're probably asking yourself what's for VIIRS deal and why is his dagger weaker than the original well there is a bit of an interesting story behind how Bor Vere got here at least from a development perspective Bor vir was originally slated to be a part of a now cut quest from the college of winterhold called the missing apprentices thanks to some quest markers in dialog buried deep within the game's files we know the College of Winterhold was originally supposed to contain this side quest which would have sent the player on a mission to track down the remains of four different college students who mysteriously disappeared during the mission we would eventually learn that each of those four students died in spectacularly unfortunate manners one guy got eaten by a bunch of mole rats another girl accidentally set herself on fire while practicing with the flame spell and bore veer over here was attempting to create a new type of mead that he thought would be able to compete with hunting brew he a dreamed of using frost magic to chill that mead for a certain period of time but nobody at the college knew where his laboratory was and they hadn't heard back over some time as we would learn during this quest for Fears laboratory was here at journeyman snook and he was evidently killed by a bandit during his time here which is why nobody's heard from him in so long now since this quest was of course cut from the game we're not actually sure if this is canonized lore by Bethesda but if it's not they must have forgot to remove his body and his dagger we're still unsure why the dagger is weaker than what it's based on but at least we have something that resembles a back story and then is that back story not kind of hilarious and finally last on our list I'm excited to show off the first bow of this list but before that in order to acquire it we'll have to dive deep into the Dwarven depths of ARCA fans here towards the final chambers of the dungeon we can find the unique Dwemer bow zephyr now while not technically a quest item per the gangs definitions much like Cabos eggs Fang it has a deep connection to a quest you see ARCA fans is the center of the Dawnguard dlc side mission lost to the ages and it's at this location we aid the ghost of Katrina an archaeologist who died here after taking a mighty fall will aid her in completing some of her old research by recovering an ancient artifact and assisting her in clearing out the dungeon so that she may finally rest in peace as we near the end of our key fans we can find Zephyr lying tranquilly on a tipped-over log and it's in fact extremely easy to miss if you're not paying attention as the exact spot it's in is really out of the way but if you have Katrina as an active companion during that loss to the ages quest shall normally out the bow clinging that it in fact used to be hers and that's the log where she fell to her death in the first place simply pick up the bow and now it will be all yours initially much like a couple of other objects we've explored today zephyr doesn't seem like much to write home about when considering its base stats a damage rating of 14 does make it two points stronger than a default dwarven bow but it's still far from Daedric like so much else on this list of though we'll make Zephyr really useful is its enchantment as the item comes with an additional effect that gives it the ability to fire arrows 30% faster than any other bow in the game this as it turns out makes the item a big deal as well Zephyrs damage may not be super strong the ability to fire it so much quicker than anything else means that Zephyr has the highest damage per second of any ranged weapon in the entire game hands down now even better what may really draw you into Zephyr is the fact that this enchantment stacks with the quick shot archery skill tree perk which in itself improves your arrow fire speed to 130 percent so with Zephyr and a quick shot you could be firing nearly 170 percent faster than normal which is incredible these quick fire rates also translate to a faster overall draw speed so it will take less time for you to pull arrows fully back and get the maximum range out of the bow the only thing I could really ask for out of Zephyr now is a unique appearance it is such a cool effect name and story behind it I'm disappointed bethesda never gave it a custom model or at least texture nonetheless you better believe that like with most things there is thankfully a mod for that too and with that we are going to wrap up 5 more unique secret and/or rare weapons you may have missed in the elderscrolls v Skyrim part four I think thanks for stopping by everyone which of these neat items did you find to be the neatest and which ones were you already aware of and what do you think deserves to be featured next leave a
