unique hand-placed items : V

» Thu May 31, 2012 6:23 am

i was playing Skyrim today and something blew my mind, i found an awesome, unique, one handed sword, bashing with it paralyzes opponents and it never runs out of charge. it was just stuck in the ground somewhere and the only reason i saw it was because of the "take" thing that shows up when your cursor is over an item.

if anyone else has secret items like this, please share here. if you want to share the location, please put it in a spoiler.

Spoiler below tells the location of Windshear

Spoiler

on the very tip of the front of emporer titus mede's ship. it appears at the end of the dark brotherhood questline. i don't think a single NPC will mention it however, which IMO makes it that much cooler.

PS. sorry if there's another thread like this, i searched a few keywords in the search box and couldn't find it.

I love it, considering how rare Scimitars are in Skyrim, was a real nice treat to find.

bashing with it paralyzes opponents

Using it like you would any other weapon paralyzes opponents.

guess whats funny ? you dont need to DO the db quests for this. this weapon is ALWAYS there even when you dont do the quest. the ship is always in this place no matter if you habe quest or not. and yes windshear is op but there a so many things in this game that are op why bother ? i can have weapons that oneshot most enemys even twoshot dragons. so why bother with stagger when you can just KILL anything instantly?

Love Dynasty Warriors!

Original poster will get it.

Anyway, where is this ship? I'm not doing the Dark Brotherhood this play through but I'm interested in seeing this weapon if it's there without doing the questline.

Incorrect. The Katariah isn't there for any of my characters that hasn't touched the DB.

The guy who made the video linked above seems to be confused with how weapon skills and perks work.
Windshear can be fully improved, requires only steel smithing to do so, and will only do a fraction less damage than a daedric sword (520 vs. 546).

It's probably the most powerful weapon in the game with the least investment required.
