Fun fact about dawn breaker. I learned that if you use a shout, unrelenting force worked for me, you can cause the sword to fly out of its pedestal so you can pick it up from the ground.

Kinda late, but if you have Dragonborn(really hope you do at this point in time) then in one of the black books, there is a reward you get called “Companion Insight”. This makes it so shouts, spells, and attacks do no damage to followers when in combat, making it good when using Dawnbreaker.

We all learn something new everyday. I also have missed this awesome sword in my playthroughs and walkthroughs.

[@azureandnoir3274]

i found it by mistake my first few play thoughs my theory is it belong to the redguard questlines they scrapped before they released the game because its just randomly places there with non storyline attached to it they are the pirates and they use curved swords. 🤔

[@TheChallengerXX]

Windshear is objectively the strongest sword in the game, you can no-sell any enemy with it, no other effect comes close to being as cheap. Unless you disenchanted it and added its stagger with health absorption to something, if its possible.

[@Kos4Evr]

what makes an enchantment unique is that it cannot be disenchanted. Some enchantment effects can be replicated, as in the case of the Nightingale, Chillrend and the pair of Scimitars.

[@Michael-Drizzt]

To be honest I prefer the ones I make myself. I tend to maxout my smithing and enchanting and equip items/potions that I also made to even further enhance their effects. I then basically forge two one handed dragonbone swords and upgrade them to (beyond) legendary. And then duel enchant each with chaos & fire damage. (for those unaware chaos can do ether fire/frost/shock or all three each hit) So yeah I also maxout destruction magic so I get a better damage score for elemental damage.

[@Kos4Evr]

first learn smithing and alchemy enchant. Then make enchanting potions and smithing potions. Drink an enchanting potion and make alchemy gear, repeat until it doesn't increase. Make 1 more enchanting potion and make smithing gear. make smiting potion. Equip gear. Make weapons/armor. Drink smithing potion and improve gear. Enchant new gear. Only way to make better gear is be a vampire/necromage. Makes enchantments on your gear stronger. That is if you don't just want to abuse the restoration glitch.

[@andrewjohnson6716]

Bonus technique for Dawnbreaker. Kill the Necromancer before your character enters the room (with something like ranged attacks or summons). Save the game before you try this in case you get the timing wrong. Stand between the necromancer’s body and the pedestal. Loot Dawnbreaker off his body and immediately spin around to activate the pedestal before Meridia calls you back to her shine. You will end up with TWO copies of Dawnbreaker. Good for you and your follower to have matching weapons or for a dual wielding build.

In terms of power Miraak's sword IS stronger, but Windshear's enchantment just makes it one of or potentially THE best sword in the game. The stagger effect happens with every normal swing 100% of the time and basically makes most fights trivial. I tested that with perfect swing timing, you can be surrounded by 14 enemies and not get hit by a single one due to the stagger. So yeah not the strongest, but anything you fight up close with, you will win against. It's not a matter of if they die, but when.

The nightingale blade takes such a huge amount of soul gems to stay charged.

Use Dawnbreaker in the left hand and the Dawngaurd Rune Axe in the right. Make sure these weapons are in the aforesaid hands to get the fastest swing speed. This combo is really effective against all undead and even vs Dragon Priests!

I really like Danfang/Bloodthirst Very unique swords. I know they are creation club though xD definitely good for the early levels until you dig into thieves guild at 40ish

I like dawnbreaker because of how easy it is to obtain and its easiness to level up as well of its affectiveness and versatility

The explosion is also really satisfying whenever it happens lol

dude legit the entire arch mage questline was a cakewalk, i hopped back on skyrim and loaded up my character from 10 years ago on the xbox 360 and was merking people

Sometimes you can get two dawnbreakers by picking it up off the ground, but also taking it from the pedestal

my favorite sword is Red Eagles Bane, it’s in a cave but u gotta go to a forsworn to get the quest.

I'm still sad ten years later that Goldbrand wasn't in the game.

I was able to get them Special Curved Swords. As well as that Special Armor too. These are awesome if your having the means of using dual swords.
