Harkon's Sword is a unique one-handed sword in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard.
Physical appearance[]
Closely resembling the Blades Sword in the base game, it is identical in every detail to its regular counterpart, but what sets it apart are its colors and hand guard, forming two bats on either end of the blade, and this sword is golden, while the Blades sword is silver in color. Even though it has a great value and is unique, its base damage is notably low in ratio to other one-handed weapons, which is compensated for by the weapon’s unique enchantment. Although, it can be upgraded by Smithing.
Acquisition[]
It is obtainable by defeating Harkon in Kindred Judgment. It can be pickpocketed with the Misdirection perk, but this is very difficult given its high value.
Enchantment[]
The sword bears a unique enchantment, which will only work if the wielder is a vampire. It causes the screen to go slightly dark with each successful strike.
- Absorb Health 15 points
- Absorb Magicka 15 points
- Absorb Stamina 15 points
The sword has a powerful enchantment, so it is recommended to have a large stock of filled soul gems if planning on using the sword regularly as it runs out of charges quite quickly. Alternatively, one can increase the number of charges on this weapon by enchanting gear with "Destruction spells cost X% less to cast." The higher the value, the more uses one will get from the weapon.
