Here’s another exploit you can use that is more efficient then using necromantic spell: use the ritual stone. People who are raised by the stone power are not reduced to dust after death, so you can raise them as many time as you need to charge up the blade.
Severio Pelagia is also someone to kill after giving him food from his farm since he dies in the Whiterun Civil War quest no matter which side you side with.
That's cool. I'm sick and tired of him always showing up when I fast travel to Whiterun. "Cold can't be too good for my crops. Never is." Dude, shut up. I don't care.
@@phunghieu2007 I know it because Gallows Hall is a great source of charged grand soul gems for early game. Don't know exactly how common this knowledge is, but I've seen it mentioned in r/skyrim comments several times.
bro i literally made a new character just last night for a Ebony Blade build, so this came at the PERFECT time haha. thank you Master Neloth for making this!
If you decide to kill Silus, do it only after youve saved him from the daedra that spawn and completed the quest. After that, i forgot how long a time they take to respawn, but the daedra will respawn each time you visit the statue and you can farm daedra hearts for gear or gold. 2 farmabke hearts i think.
Fun fact: Ebony Blade is your PRIMARY damage means when doing the Deadric Artifact run, only challenged by Molag's Soul Mace and Dagon's Dagger when doing something akin to a stealth kill on tougher opponents Black Reach's Dwemer Centurions! The life Drain Dai-Katana is mostly for long, drawn out battles like on dragons or high end falmer bosses, but the two-handed skill scale incredibly well due to being obtained early and having enchantments stack its power attacks.
Thebfact that mehrunes razor can hit an opponent quickly means abything with high health will be killed kinda quick. Especially if you dual wield with another dagger and do a double attack, as it hits very quick, i killed alduin with it in about 15 seconds
I used to take out Cosnach, the Housecarls, Uthgerd the Unbroken, and a few others that I forgot. I typically just toss that weapon in a chest because I never feel like using it. Lol.
I love the idea of a daygrit lord making a blade for betrayl and tasking the owner to empower it by killing your friends only for somone to grab it then make friends with awful people in skyrim then killing them making the world better i just imagine the lord that made the sword going dude what the fuck you were supposed to be evil
trying to maximize sneak attack critical in Morrowind be like (that game has no specialized sneak critical multiplier for different weapon classes, it's simply x4 for melee and x1.5 for marksman weapons)
True. That is a mercy kill. I would be grateful, i someone released from that pain. And eventually reunite me, with my family. Those quest always drops tears to my eyes.
@craigunshallach4951 mercy is for the walking dead and dying. Yes, it's a painful burden but he still deserves the chance however small or improbable to find happiness.
I wouldn’t kill Hroggar but instead use a calming spell, after you finish this quest he will express his gratitude and live in a tragic yet peaceful life.
I always thought that the Ebony Blade should have gotten additional effects when reaching the thresholds. Increased Health Drain alone is kind of underwhelming.
It should be noted that hp drain is arguably one of, if not the most, powerful enchantment effects in the game because the drain effect itself also does damage (so weapon attack damage + drain attack damage).
@@joshuakim5240 Yes, but you can find that enchantment on random items, break them down, and make something just as strong as the ebony blade's max level enchantment, if not stronger...on a dagger. I don't recall if you need an enchanting potion or not but either way, hardly an insurmountable obstacle. Literally the only plus of the ebony blade is the lack of charge, but the Star and a 2 second soul trap on the same crafted blade completely make up for that. Honestly most daedric artifacts in Skyrim are a hoax. I think the only truly unique and actually useful artifacts are Spellbreaker and Azura's Star. And Spellbreaker is only useful until you create a near-immunity to all magic with super-high resistance or a spell absorption build. There's also the lunar forge enchantment, which is stronger than regular absorb health but only works at night. Then again, apparently nobody in the history of Skyrim could ever make weapons and armor more powerful than the MC of Skyrim. Not in ten thousand plus years of history. Not gods, not daedra, not dragons. And I'm not even talking about the enchanting/alchemy loop.
There's a little bit of an exploit that you can use without feeling too bad I think. During the Lights Out quest, Deeja sees you as a "friend," Even though she will still be hostile upon your encounter. Kill her with the blade, then cast Dead Thrall on her, kill her then cast the spell again, rinse and repeat until the sword is fully upgraded. The only thing is you have to be able to cast Master level conjuration spells, because it does have to be the Dead Thrall that you cast specifically (although, the the ability from the ritual stone might also work, I'm not quite sure though). As far as I know, other raise dead spells won't create a permanent corpse for you to use again, and she'll turn to dust after the first time you kill her.
The Ritual Stone does work. If you want to not have to wait 24 hours, you can always have the Ritual Stone saved on your Aetherial Crown, so you just have to remove it and put it back on.
You should do a video on who to induct into the Blades! You want to induct someone who is worthy but you also don't want to remove someone valuable from their life. Erik the Slayer is a good example of a good choice but what about the other two?
It's a shame they didn't make an actual return in Skyrim. We only have the Blade's ones and the ebony blade. Bethesda really doesn't understand just how many otakus play games.
@@craigunshallach4951 The Japanese word for sword is Tsurugi. Katana is a specific type of sword. The Ebony Blade is exactly that type, though Skyrim made it larger than it should be.

Unpopular opinion: I always help Sinding kill all the Hunters, finish all the dialogue in the cave, and then kill Sinding. You get the Ring of Hircine and the armor set. It's definitely legitimate and not a glitch in the game shhhhh
I find it ironic that an ancient telvanni wizard is criticizing a nord for slave labor considering your peoples gruesome treatment of beastfolk back in the third era. Turn your gaze to your own land ooh.. too soon? Jealousy is all i hear.
Great work my friend, this turns leveling the Ebony Blade in a full on world spanning kill spree. I always use the Ritual Stone but on my next play through I'll definitely use this guide, keep up the good work fellow Dunmer
There's also another way to power up the bony blade in a goodway but. It's a bit tedious but worth it if you can pull it off. First thing you need to do is find a powerful necromancy spell preferably that one standing stone near valtheim towers. Second head to solitude and do the lighthouse quest once done head to where ship crashed and talk to the argonian who will betray you put her down with the ebony blade, then resurrect her and put her down again. Repeat this until the blade is fully powered up no need to sacrifice the people that you like.
2:13 Last time I checked, using necromancy to resurrect them, when you kill them the second time, their bodies will just turn to ash and you can't resurrect them again. However, if you get the blessing of the Ritual Stone and use that, that does work, as their bodies won't turn to ashes afterwards.
Karthwasten… Help clear the silver bloods, do the orc sword and Debella quests… Then pull the ebony backscratcher and clear house… Then at the greybeard peace summit you can have Ulfric pay for the ‘massacre’ and be cleared
@@krystianszewczyk1522There's a great mod for that, Destroying the Thieves guild. Best part is that it's not just wiping them out, you can team up with the jarl, Mjoll and other good citizens to take out Maven black briar's criminal empire in a series of quests.
You can do it with Narfi from Ivarstead after you accomplished his quest (pretty easy to do). Once you killed him, use Dead Thrall (or Staff of Worms if you don't want to xp your conjuration) to resurect him, and kill him again until the blade is fully stacked.
Didn’t see it in the comments but there is a way to get the Saviors Hide and the ring of Hircine. Complete the quest siding with Sinding. Once he gives you the armour , betray him (with the ebony blade ofc) leave and talk to the aspect of Hircine to collect the ring
If you kill Hroggar to reunite him with his wife and daughter, you MUST do it as an assassination. If he goes down fighting, he will enter Sovngarde. His wife and daughter are not in Sovngarde. They did not die in a fight.
I always use dead thrall to upgrade the sword. In a mining town near Markarth there are 2 men that complain how their mine was overrun by forsworn, if you clear out the forsworn they will become your friends (and be eligible for sacrifice). But the thing is the forsworn eventually respawn in their mine ,usually with them in it, ending them instantly. After that happens you just use dead thrall on one of them, use the blade, and repeat until fully charged. For anyone who doesn't know dead thrall is a master level conjuration spell, which means you need level 90 in conjuration and to complete the quest "conjuration ritual spell"
pro tip, help Sindig against the hunters and get the uncursed ring, then go back and slaughter him with the Blade for the Savior's Hide. Win/win, your Ebony Blade got a bit stronger and you scammed another Daedric Prince out of 2 artifacts. It doesn't get more decietful than that.
Melka and Petra aren't the only example of hagraven rivalry in the game. In "A Night to Remember," if you seek the wedding ring Ysolda sold you, the hagraven Moira will attack you in a jealous rage, thinking you want it back to court another hagraven named Esmeralda.
If you kill sinding i recomend first teaming up with him to get ring of hircine and then killing him and takes his pelt and then you get both of the artifacts
Not watching the video, so I'm sorry if this was mentioned. But if you raise a killed ally from the dead they still count towards the blade's progression. So what you do is pick someone, kill them, use the Ritual Stone's daily power to raise them, kill them again, and wait a day to repeat the process. This works because the Ritual Stone's raise dead power doesn't turn the body to ash like other effects do. So this way you can turn one kill into 10.
If you sell crops to farmers they will have a positive disposition of you. Go to the Salvious farm (I think that’s the name) outside of markarth near stables. You can use the ritual stone to revive and get an easy 4 kills out of the 10. Uthgerd, marcurio and the dude in the silver blood inn can provide the rest of the kills. (Provided you use the stone)
There exists a bug, where if you resurrect certain characters with the dead thrall spell, and kill them, it counts towards the ebony blade sacrifices so you can repeat this all on the same corpse. Just don't decapitate the target, otherwise the spell wont work. Worked with Cicero.
Honestly, I feel like this shouldn't be patched out since it makes since in lore. I can imagine a Daedric Prince watching you revive someone only to kill them again AND AGAIN and again and just letting it slide since...that's just evil.
This is my first time watching your channel specifically.. I used to use ESO and Camel A LOT for guides, and i think a 3rd channel(?)...but i have never seen a Content Creator use the name of an NPC from a DLC XD....you better be as Pedantic as Neloth was in my...5th or 6th time going through Solstheim XD
Haven't finished the intro of the video but I'll say I got the blade before I did the quests for the cannibal ring and so I upgraded the blade with the lives of the cannibals once I had become the champion of the prince and won their trust
The Ebony Blade is ridiculously OP weapon. It heals you 10 to 30 HP with each hit on an enemy, seems to have a slightly faster swing apeed than other two-handed swords, is lightweight compared to various "stronger" two-handed weapons, and can be obtained as early as level 20. Also, if you want an easy way to earn the achievement of being wanted in all holds, Ebony Blade pretty much makes you invincible against hold guards at a certain point. Although, I also love the Bloodskal Blade as you can perform ranged attacks with it that tends to stagger enemies.
You can also join the rieklings at the mead hall quest and then massacre some of those little blue creatures. They'll fill the blade and you won't lose any NPC's Might take a while to finish the quest but, once finished, it'll be pretty easy to get the blade maxxed
I recreated the ginger mage woman Who is one of the loading screen characters (the one with a staff and blue mage robes). I play her as a witch and she will ABSOLUTELY side with daedra and the markareth cannibal trio
Sobre a evolução da Ebony Blade, depois de obter a benção da Ritual Stone, vá para a casa dos mortos em Whiterun, converse com o sacerdote que vive lá, pegue a quest do amuleto, dentro das catacumbas, no mesmo lugar, devolva o amuleto pra ele (Arandur eu acho) que vai ficar seu amigo. Depois é só "passar ele" com a Ebony Blade, chamar o poder da Ritual Stone, esperar 24hs etc. Até às 10 repetições pra obter o poder supremo da Ebony Blade. Valeu? Abraços.
Ysolda is probably also a good one to use because she happens to be a Skooma dealer, and as Redwater Den is a massive Skooma den ran by Vampires, who knows if she is doing their work secretly
I'm surprised Nazeem isn't on this list (I know he isn't really going to improve the ebony blade, he is just a condescending to the dragon born, plus It's fun to kill him lol)
I always thought Hert and Hern were siblings. I only recently found out that their relationship may have been intended to be unknown, as cut guard dialogue has them asking about it.
I adopted Sissel this time around along with Lucia.... I just wish it was more simulation like where I could bring Sissel for tutoring sessions in magic, or idk, teach the kid myself. And also teach them hunting and all that that. That would be great. Make actual trips andake a parental relationship and family bond vs what it is now.

@@krystianszewczyk1522There's a great mod for that, Destroying the Thieves guild.
Best part is that it's not just wiping them out, you can team up with the jarl, Mjoll and other good citizens to take out Maven black briar's criminal empire in a series of quests.
Oh I need to look that up
@@krystianszewczyk1522I could you getting them all arrested but killing the thieves guild is insane for a guild who doesn’t kill. DBhood deserves it
So the first time I installed mods, I had a conflict where all the vampires had blackface. I found all of them so quick lol
I use Eola to sacrafice to Boethia. heheheh
Tie The Aetherial Crown to The Ritual Stone and use Narfi after doing his little quest to find his sister.
Your distain for Lemkil fuels me more than breakfast
Hroggar is innocent he’s being forced against his will pls don’t kill him
Sinding is a legend. He managed to bypass the inmortality command on childs.
I love the thesis statement before your paper
I usually use either Faendal or Sven, and utilize the Ritual Stone exploit
Worked for me, thank you. Didn't work out so well for Faendal
You can do it with Narfi from Ivarstead after you accomplished his quest (pretty easy to do). Once you killed him, use Dead Thrall (or Staff of Worms if you don't want to xp your conjuration) to resurect him, and kill him again until the blade is fully stacked.
"It's AlwAYs a GoOD dAY wHen MaSTer NeLOtH UploADs!!!"
Cry
“She ate both of them likely killing them beforehand”
You would both think and hope so right?
Didn’t see it in the comments but there is a way to get the Saviors Hide and the ring of Hircine. Complete the quest siding with Sinding. Once he gives you the armour , betray him (with the ebony blade ofc) leave and talk to the aspect of Hircine to collect the ring
That one vagabond in the sewers of riften is a must
If you kill Hroggar to reunite him with his wife and daughter, you MUST do it as an assassination. If he goes down fighting, he will enter Sovngarde. His wife and daughter are not in Sovngarde. They did not die in a fight.
lemkil always got the modded yeet into the air to only kick the bucket from ankle breakage
can you make who is to recruit for rebuilding The Blades quest?
That could make a good video someday ;)
Why would you ever do that?
That's a great idea! Id love to watch that!
Blades should be permanently disbanded.
Hail paarthunax.
The innocent old beggar from riften, then do it again with ritual stone until mephala feels satisfied. It's immoral but it just works
Faendal. Repeatedly with Dead Thrall. At the altar of Boethiah. Just as soon as I hit 50 archery. Two daedra, one elf.
Your scary voice of absorb their tears scared the hell out of my cat. Lol
I never heard of Lemkil, chances are I walked past him never thinking the man has a backstory.
It is demonstrated that Sinding absolutely does NOT keep his word, because he can be found as a random encounter having slain more victims.
I always use dead thrall to upgrade the sword. In a mining town near Markarth there are 2 men that complain how their mine was overrun by forsworn, if you clear out the forsworn they will become your friends (and be eligible for sacrifice). But the thing is the forsworn eventually respawn in their mine ,usually with them in it, ending them instantly. After that happens you just use dead thrall on one of them, use the blade, and repeat until fully charged.
For anyone who doesn't know dead thrall is a master level conjuration spell, which means you need level 90 in conjuration and to complete the quest "conjuration ritual spell"
I quite literally (no more than 3 minutes ago) just finished this power-up journey so I’m excited to see where I went wrong with who I killed lol
pro tip, help Sindig against the hunters and get the uncursed ring, then go back and slaughter him with the Blade for the Savior's Hide. Win/win, your Ebony Blade got a bit stronger and you scammed another Daedric Prince out of 2 artifacts. It doesn't get more decietful than that.
Melka and Petra aren't the only example of hagraven rivalry in the game. In "A Night to Remember," if you seek the wedding ring Ysolda sold you, the hagraven Moira will attack you in a jealous rage, thinking you want it back to court another hagraven named Esmeralda.
I like how Skyrim is over 7 years old yet still has a big enough fan base to make a video as simple as this 😂
It's more than a decade at this point lol! 12 whole years of skyrim
If you kill sinding i recomend first teaming up with him to get ring of hircine and then killing him and takes his pelt and then you get both of the artifacts
Alternatively you keep all this targets alive and live in a darker world of skyrim. Amazing and inspiring video as well.
thanks for the hit-list! :D
4:30 Ah, thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep this in mind.
You are such an underrated channel ngl
Not watching the video, so I'm sorry if this was mentioned. But if you raise a killed ally from the dead they still count towards the blade's progression.
So what you do is pick someone, kill them, use the Ritual Stone's daily power to raise them, kill them again, and wait a day to repeat the process. This works because the Ritual Stone's raise dead power doesn't turn the body to ash like other effects do. So this way you can turn one kill into 10.
If you sell crops to farmers they will have a positive disposition of you. Go to the Salvious farm (I think that’s the name) outside of markarth near stables. You can use the ritual stone to revive and get an easy 4 kills out of the 10. Uthgerd, marcurio and the dude in the silver blood inn can provide the rest of the kills. (Provided you use the stone)
Great and well thought out video! :D
Didn't know there was a quest where you could befriend a Hagraven, lol
Thought i had explored every bit of land in this game
There exists a bug, where if you resurrect certain characters with the dead thrall spell, and kill them, it counts towards the ebony blade sacrifices so you can repeat this all on the same corpse. Just don't decapitate the target, otherwise the spell wont work. Worked with Cicero.
Honestly, I feel like this shouldn't be patched out since it makes since in lore.
I can imagine a Daedric Prince watching you revive someone only to kill them again AND AGAIN and again and just letting it slide since...that's just evil.
This is my first time watching your channel specifically.. I used to use ESO and Camel A LOT for guides, and i think a 3rd channel(?)...but i have never seen a Content Creator use the name of an NPC from a DLC XD....you better be as Pedantic as Neloth was in my...5th or 6th time going through Solstheim XD
Not pedantic enough XD a good chunk of these people are already gone for me XD
Haven't finished the intro of the video but I'll say I got the blade before I did the quests for the cannibal ring and so I upgraded the blade with the lives of the cannibals once I had become the champion of the prince and won their trust
The Ebony Blade is ridiculously OP weapon. It heals you 10 to 30 HP with each hit on an enemy, seems to have a slightly faster swing apeed than other two-handed swords, is lightweight compared to various "stronger" two-handed weapons, and can be obtained as early as level 20.
Also, if you want an easy way to earn the achievement of being wanted in all holds, Ebony Blade pretty much makes you invincible against hold guards at a certain point.
Although, I also love the Bloodskal Blade as you can perform ranged attacks with it that tends to stagger enemies.
Tonvar Silver-Blood
You can also join the rieklings at the mead hall quest and then massacre some of those little blue creatures. They'll fill the blade and you won't lose any NPC's
Might take a while to finish the quest but, once finished, it'll be pretty easy to get the blade maxxed
NGL Chat, Alva Vamp rizzed me tf up with those milkers, deadass.
I walked into Dragonsreach and started swinging at everyone and continued out into the rest of Whiterun hahahaha.
I recreated the ginger mage woman Who is one of the loading screen characters (the one with a staff and blue mage robes). I play her as a witch and she will ABSOLUTELY side with daedra and the markareth cannibal trio
Sobre a evolução da Ebony Blade, depois de obter a benção da Ritual Stone, vá para a casa dos mortos em Whiterun, converse com o sacerdote que vive lá, pegue a quest do amuleto, dentro das catacumbas, no mesmo lugar, devolva o amuleto pra ele (Arandur eu acho) que vai ficar seu amigo. Depois é só "passar ele" com a Ebony Blade, chamar o poder da Ritual Stone, esperar 24hs etc. Até às 10 repetições pra obter o poder supremo da Ebony Blade. Valeu? Abraços.
Thank god I’ll no longer regret accidentally choosing sven in my first play through, so I can kill him with this method
Ysolda is probably also a good one to use because she happens to be a Skooma dealer, and as Redwater Den is a massive Skooma den ran by Vampires, who knows if she is doing their work secretly
wait a minute 14 years of skyrim and i never knew of Melka's existence how the hell did i never encounter her in my hundreds of playthroughs
Tbh, I got the bard from riverwood with the resurrection stone and just killed him and revived him 9 times
12:25 Neloth is so strong! He bounced his victim after slamming him on the ground!
I'm surprised Nazeem isn't on this list (I know he isn't really going to improve the ebony blade, he is just a condescending to the dragon born, plus It's fun to kill him lol)
Also, he can't be a friend to the dragon born
Ya know, ending a cycle of treachery with the ebony blade does seem kinda ironic
Do the most logical options for Boethiah’s Proving and explain how Erik the Slayer could be the canon choice.
Erik the Slayer is based off of a real life Bethesda fan named Erik West who died of cancer before Skyrim released
I always thought Hert and Hern were siblings.
I only recently found out that their relationship may have been intended to be unknown, as cut guard dialogue has them asking about it.
i sided w/ sinding and know for a fact he does NOT keep his word. he is a rare encounter out in skyrim after you side w/ him in the quest.
My answer Kill some bandits get the ritual stone res then kill them (bc you summoned them they are an ally) then get the upgrades
I adopted Sissel this time around along with Lucia.... I just wish it was more simulation like where I could bring Sissel for tutoring sessions in magic, or idk, teach the kid myself. And also teach them hunting and all that that. That would be great. Make actual trips andake a parental relationship and family bond vs what it is now.
If you kill Waylon before he kills Margret she will give you a necklace but it doesn’t give you another speech option when Eltrys gives you the note
Just gonna put this out there, dead thrall allows you to do this to anyone you like for as many times (but I could be wrong it’s been a while since I played)
I always use Lydia (the worst follower) and the necromancer standing stone to level the blade up
