5 Hidden Enchantments You May Have Missed in Skyrim

[@PauloArais]

Wuuthrad has a specific enchantment too against elves. So Briarheart Geis isn't the only one against a race.

[@JaronOdele]

Came down here to say exactly this. Someone forgot about 'good' ol' Wuuthrad. XD

[@pinheadious17]

Thank you, I wasn’t the only one who noticed

[@JonnyCrackers]

Pelinal approved weaponry.

[@GremlinSciences]

I was about to post the same, there's also the Dawnguard Rune weapons which deal an extra 10 damage specifically to vampires. However what makes the Briarheart Gais enchantment unique there is that it is the only one that can be applied freely to other weapons.

[@Rubyredacted]

You are very right I forgot about that for a sec too Except one thing if I'm not mistaken You can't disenchant wuuthrad and learn that enchantment

[@SkyrimExplorer]

Briarheart Geis is not possible to find unless you have the Cutting Room Floor mod. I was wondering why I can't remember this weapon and started searching for this name 🙂 For me most useful among those 5 is a Fiery Soul Trap as its fire damage remains constant, not being dependent on charges count we set for our enchanted weapon with this enchantment.

[@SkyrimExplorer]

@TopheRoux Thanks! Next week I'm starting a long term series with this mod so I will have an opportunity to check it out!

[@swiizzles]

I'm waiting for V6 of LOTDB to come out, it's meant to be soon but I honestly don't think I can wait any longer...

[@SkyrimExplorer]

@@swiizzles I didn't even know about the new version. I have already started recording so I won't wait for it anyway.

[@nicholausstevens1262]

[@kurama386able]

Plus the two handed axe you can get that belonged to the leader of the companions has a race specific effect against elves

[@robertsafar2908]

there also ysgramor axe, that is doing extra damage to elves., so its not only race specific enchantment

[@swiizzles]

that's true, but it's the only one that can be disenchanted :)

[@Multiyuppp]

@@swiizzles That's because it doesn't actually count as an enchantment, it's an effect of the weapon itself. Same as the Razor, that's why the can also both have poisons applied to them.

[@VeryEvilGM]

​@swiizzles You mean other enchantments in this video can be disenchanted too?

[@swiizzles]

@@VeryEvilGM Yes! Maybe I should've specified but I believe all of these can be disenchanted :)

[@Gonin049]

I’m a big fan of the Silver weapons that have the hidden stat that does +20 damage to undead and werewolves

[@Green__Ghost]

It's not exactly a hidden stat, it's just that they don't display the specific numbers.

[@Gonin049]

@@Green__Ghost if it’s not displayed… then it’s hidden…

[@Green__Ghost]

@@Gonin049 If I tell you I own a car but I don't tell you what model it is that doesn't mean I've hidden from you that I own a car. Same goes for the silver weapons, they tell you they do extra damage against undead, they just don't tell you the exact damage number.

[@Gonin049]

@@Green__Ghost fair point

[@spiderz5145]

I like the idea of using the moon enchantment as a Khajiit character.

[@Mccheddah]

That does sound cool

[@davidgessin-mccully3919]

The Gloves of the Pugalist which are the only item to be enchanted with the fortify unarmed damage enchantment. The enchantment once learned along with the creative use of the smithing restoration glitch I created a ring powerful enough to punch anything in the game once and kill it from legendary dragons to the Ebony Warrior. Of course no children though. Could also kill a legendary dragon with a basic longbow and a practice arrow.

[@nemohimself2580]

Not true as of special/anniversary editions. There is a "brawler's" enchantment that fortifies unarmed

[@davidgessin-mccully3919]

@@nemohimself2580 That doesn’t make it untrue lmfao in the original game that was the only way of accomplishing what I did with unarmed damage or archery. I don’t play remastered games that I’ve already beaten so I have no idea what’s in the anniversary edition. Still can’t find a video of anyone other than me being able to one punch kill the Ebony Warrior.

[@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206]

That's technically true but not really actually.

[@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206]

​@@davidgessin-mccully3919Even though you do not play remastered games, that doesn't mean what they person said previously is false, so, the facts remain the same

[@davidgessin-mccully3919]

@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206 Two questions what do you mean technically true but not actually and where did I say what they said was incorrect? I was the one told that my comment wasn’t correct, I said I didn’t know what was in the anniversary edition cause I was playing it when it came out not 15yrs later when it’s remastered just to appeal to younger gamers but in the original vanilla game and DLC that was the only way to bolster unarmed damage so nothing I said is untrue.

[@bastiaan0741]

Horker island has a mace that does damage to horkers. There's also a weapon specifically against trolls. But - they aren't enchantments. There's also that chaos enchantment in Solsteim.

[@Max.596]

You missed one enchant that is more of a glitch rather than a base game enchant you need 2 things to get the enchant wabbajack and undying warrior DISCLAIMER:if you have twin souls you must summon two to try the glitch if you have 1 max summon then summon 1 then charge both the summon and the wabbajack if your summon becomes a chicken/rabbit/dremora punch him and loot his sword (btw you can get a cool armorset for male characters) disenchant his sword and use the enchant on any weapon it’s got infinite charge and congrats! You got a cool glowy enchant

[@Thethisthle]

Cool glowy sword is a understatement it looks more like a lightsaber on a dagger because it's only supposed to go on a ghost blade 😂 I came to this channel to find more enchants like it

[@glasscannon_]

I really wish there was more to the Lunar forge. I remember being really excited the first time I found it, only to be disappointed shortly after.

[@tobysharples111]

Poachers axe: I found a weapon called Bow of the Hunt in a cave in the rift yesterday. 20 damage to animals, but possibly CC content as I play AE

[@dougbessette9119]

The bow of the hunt is part of the vanilla version of skyrim and is the other weapon of 2 in the game with huntsman's prowess

[@BuhoPnu]

I was going to say this. Glad I looked at the comments before posting.

[@snowtail1951]

Fun fact: Huntsmans Prowess is actually bugged and doesn't actually deal extra damage to animals.

[@corwinevans5823]

I'm surprised this video isn't more popular! Great quality video, man!

[@swiizzles]

Thank you! That truly means a lot to me :)

[@lfcfanfromcanada]

Was sure chaos damage was gonna be mentionned.

[@totallyrandomuser5760]

The fella it's obtainable from was hard to fight because of the enchantment combining damage. Until I saw the enchantment I was confused why I died so fast

[@WurdNinja007]

Yeah, what sucks is disenchantment destroys the Champion Cudgel and then I recently got the Anniversary upgrade to find out there is a slot for that weapon in a trophy room of one of my new homestead location (I forget which). I enchant all my weapons and all my companion's weapons with Chaos Damage. It's fun to see when fighting with a companion because sometimes their weapon does lightning damage and then I hit and it does fire damage. Chaos Damage is like Frank's Red Hot....I put dat sh!+ on Everything! Lol

[@lfcfanfromcanada]

@@WurdNinja007 nah don't loose the cudgel for that. Go see glover mallory inventory. He's the only merchant that sells weapons with choas damage. U can get it super early in the game also

[@ToughDuff]

​@@WurdNinja007 It's actually a rare enchantment that can also be found on random weapons in Solstein once you're high level

[@ruthlesace]

Briarheart geis "making it the only race specific enchantment in the game" Wuuthrod "Am i a joke to you?"

[@igavinwood]

There is a Lunar Axe by the side of the dead stable hand in Whiterun, as part of the Bow of Shadows quest. If you play with the mod 'CC Bow of Shadows Jarl Busy Fix', then you can pick this up early in the game. It's not that powerful, but you can disenchant and use it on other more powerful base damage weapons to give you the added bump to damage if playing on harder difficulties. Alternatively use the mod 'Serenity - A Silent Moons Camp Overhaul' and 'Lawbringer' to update both Silent Moons camp, the Lunar Forge and it's enchantments.

[@TheNitoGaming]

That extra damage to nords for a thalmor build is interesting ngl.

[@cstains5543]

Except that it can't be learned and the ax itself has crappy damage in comparison to any other number of weapons you can find.

[@Sepherina]

Glass Bow of the Stag Prince has a unique effect. Gives you +5 Health and Stamina (In one enchantment). And the effect can be upgraded by killing animals with it. However you cannot unenchant it without mods and the bonus effect does not carry.

[@One1164]

I think the silent moon enchantment is one of the best enchantments you can get early in the game. Because it works extra well against vampires in Skyrim if you have the perk extra effect that you can add 2 enchantment to your weapons, you can also add extra fire enchantment. Because vampire random encounters are one of the worst and most annoying random encounters when walking in the dark in skyrim.

[@linamory544]

Super interesting! That last one is really useful (I was really sad recently when i realised that i can either have fire damage or soul tap, but now I know what I need, thanks)

[@thefrozenyak5272]

Be aware that the fire damage doesn't scale up by using fortify enchanting potions or better soul gems or enchanting perks, only the duration of the soul trap. On the whole it's still better than a normal soul trap (extra damage is extra damage), but it's not going to replace damaging enchants.

[@leviathan903]

some important information, notched pickaxe's smithing perk is broken in vanilla due to an error that deals damage to the skill but it doesnt make sense so it does nothing without a patch, it will still deal shock damage but its weaker than the normal shock enchant. the briarheart geis is unobtainable in the game without the use of cheats or mods. and one of the most imfamous axes in skyrim, Wuuthrad, famously has a race specific enchant to elves, so its not the only one in the game. idk if he did all this on purpose to get engagement in his comments or he genuinely didnt do a simple wiki page research before making a video on it. either way i hope he gets better at making content.

[@anonymuswere]

the other four mentioned are all also in the original version and it's ultimate. note that the axes and pickaxes can be tuned tup in old versions once you have the appropriate perk, making the originals actually viable secondary weapons. for an easy "lunar" find climb the rocks on the east side of silent moons and get to the patroll walkway. you'll find a top access wooden floor only accessable from here that's almost guarenteed to have a lunar weapon on the table...and a couple early high end healing potions. it's the floor above the trap door from the underground section.

[@reedlarson302]

you don't have to climb the mountain to get the pickaxe. You can wait until you meet Parthanax, then it's just a short jaunt up the hill.

[@zeroone8800]

The first one requires a mod to be found. The second is a bugged enchantment without mods.

[@talongreenlee7704]

It’s the third one that’s bugged.

[@zeroone8800]

​@@talongreenlee7704 The Silent moon enchantment is also bugged. The damage affects the target's WeaponSpeedMult actor value, rather than their health, without the unofficial patch.

[@talongreenlee7704]

@@zeroone8800 oh I wasn’t aware. I know that the Notched Pickaxe is bugged. Something about it restoring damage to the smithing skill rather than increasing it or something like that.

[@humphreyjones1828]

@@zeroone8800I never knew it was bugged. Does the unofficial patch fix it?

[@aspenlakeorsomethinglikethat]

You used to be able to disenchant the Shield of Solitude and get a weaker version of magic resist.

[@jensonpreacher4772]

Briar heart is actually one of two race specific damage bonuses, this other one being Wuutherad or however you spell the companions axe weapon

[@justanotherrandomdude8472]

Eh. One that’s better is I believe it’s called The Champions Warhammer. Has the chaos magic on it. It will randomly do one of the elemental damage. If you disenchant and put that spell on a stahlrim ore weapon that Lee boosts frost effects by 25%. For whatever reason the program will boost the other 2 elements as well and not just the frost.

[@sophiemendez5567]

There are 4 lunar weapons at Silent Moon camp. The bloodthorn dagger in hags end has a second enchantment not shown on the screen. If you get a silver weapon + the 2 enchantments perk, I haven't tried it, but you could have 3 enchantments on one weapon.

[@sethharris813]

Unfortunately the Bloodthorne isn't an item you can learn enchantments from. It WILL however allow you take the souls of dwarven automatons.

[@darcraven01]

i use the notched enchantnent paired with the normal shock damage enchant to get extra shock damage on the weapon. did that on my second playthrough on console (before mods were available for it) and built a "Thor" character

[@hattrung9996]

your content is amazing

[@jamestaylor3805]

Briarheart Geis is a cut content item, only available with select MODs active. It is also NOT the only racially specific enchantment in the game. Wuthrad increases damage against all elves. A better video idea would be a breakdown on what level an enchantment becomes available on loot and at what level certain enchants become very difficult to find so players have a guide on when to look for what, and when to avoid leveling until they find it. Resist Disease, Waterbreathing and a couple other low level enchants are plentiful at early levels and basically non-existent after level 18 or so.

[@L4ZY_S4V4G3]

Correct me if im wrong but if i remember correctly the Notched pickaxe actually isnt named after notch for minecraft despite what some think. ESO has a guide or something where he talk about this and tells you what it actually references. Also its been along time since ive seen his video explaining it and there might be one by EpicNate. Mind you its been years since ive seen the video but figured id let yall know.

[@moseslalmuanpuia8988]

A few days ago played again in about 7 years and found fiery soul trap for the first time.

[@Mantelar]

It’s a nice little enchantment. I found it last night on my heavily modded game. Lost count of the draugr in that room (mod for extra spawns), it was pretty chaotic.

[@GhostDrewSenju]

Huntsmans prowess has a bow that does an identical thing. It cant be disenchanted though.

[@arvintrevino4622]

If I disenchant those unique weapons, would I be able to have the enchantments for future weapon builds? For example, I don't break down White run axe because its unique so I look fo something that has a similar enchantment.

[@Thethisthle]

Only for a few i think

[@swiizzles]

[@zackbenedict7895]

Wuuthrad's effect technically isn't an enchantment, as you can enchant Wuuthrad.

[@firstnamelastname396]

What mods do u use the games looks good

[@michaelwolf6855]

Just commenting because i figured it would pop up in the comments. Wuuthrad isn't race specific like the Briarheart Geis. Wuuthrad does more damage to all elf races. Briarheart Geis specifies Nords which is race specific.
