Horksbane is a unique steel mace found in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn.
Acquisition[]
- Horker Island – Just by the corpse of Saden.
Enchantment[]
Horksbane is especially effective against horkers, dealing an extra 20 points of damage to them. In terms of percentages, this is a 200% damage increase. This weapon may not be disenchanted, but new enchantments can be added to the weapon.
Smithing[]
Horksbane can be upgraded with a Steel Ingot, and benefits from the Steel Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.
Trivia[]
- Horksbane respawns next to Saden's body after some time.
- Horksbane is a reference to Trollsbane.
- Horksbane's unique enchantment was caused by Saden's extreme hatred of the horkers flowing into his weapon when he witnessed them killing his friends.[1]
- The housecarl of Windstad Manor, Valdimar can benefit greatly from the weapon, as he is constantly battling the horkers that spawn near the Fish Hatchery, while patrolling the perimeter of the homestead.
