There are fantastic additions to the process in comments! We are aware of alchemy/smithing potions and black book effects etc to push it all even further, but we just wanted to make the main points; Stahlrim with chaos/frost damage, increasing the enchantment damage dramatically, and Destruction perks affecting enchantments damage. Leaving you with a very powerful sword. Thanks again guys for watching and working together in the comments, it's really appreciated! Regards, Michael, Scott and Drew
I get why you focused on the Stahlrim and chaos damage, but there are several potential enchantments and perks that could make this weapon even better. I see in the comments above me fear increasing your chaos damage through fire (which I was actually previously unaware of) and the necromage/vampire combination to increase your enchantment power. I haven't tested how much the fear extra effect will boost the chaos damage, but I have reached some pretty high damage levels with all the other extra effects. Personally I like utility so sometimes I run with two Stahlrim maces (for the ignore armor effect with other perks) and an absorb health on one and absorb stamina on the other. These with the soul siphon perk allow for nonstop damage and survivability. Just some thoughts! I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thank you!
UGH I KNOW RIGHT! I promised to myself that i'd make a spellsword, and then ten hours later i had myself a shadow warrior that just one shots everything with a dagger. also cool tip don't know if it's a glitch, in the middle of battle with the final sneak perk you can sneak and dagger attack and for an instant the enemy won't see you so you can one shot them even if combat's started. op af
“This sword can do 1300000000 Dmg!” “This arrow can paralyze you for literal years. Not in universe years, years of an external universe where Beings wield us like pawns to their whims”
I wouldn't do that with timers. I tried it as an experiment as a glitch poison that has paralysis work for thousands of seconds and the game crashed 100% of the time.
Yeah, after getting to 100 in alchemy and researching the potions. Also after crafting 405975069394 iron daggers to get to 100 smithing, and similarly upgrading all your other needed skills.
With skyrim anniversary edition, you can literally make %600 smiting potion without any exploits. Because Dreugh wax, stoneflower petal and gold kanet ingradients which was officially added by bethesda boosts your enhanting and smiting potions even more which at a point you can get ridicilous numbers without any exploits...
Its stuff like that that makes me lose hope in tes6. I feel I will still get my money worth but I want to have to genuinely put together a good build and think through tactics and synergy. Crafting should be a bit of a extra layer to optimize your build and not full blown make you a god. Combat and character progression needs a complete rework. I havent seen a single person that would pick Tes over the several other games out there in terms of gameplay. No choices or branching story to be had neither but that is another subject. I just think its hilarious how there are so many guides on a game that is legit as easy and watered down as you can get. I do enjoy the lore stuff and what you may have missed stuff which exploring Tes does do well
If you guys think that's broken, you clearly never played Morrowind with maxed out alchemy and enchanting. You can become a literal flying god of destruction
@@jamessauls9994 my brother in christ, morrowind and oblivion were this broken too, and no body is forcing you to create a literal super weapon that deals +100000 damage
@@ismaylbayraml775Late reply, but there really is no limit due to how the new ingredients work. If you're a vampire with Necromage and Bloodworm helm you can stack them quite a lot. If you add seekers and Ahzidal gear it becomes even easier. In just 4 loops I can get like 240% stronger Enchants and 650% smithing. Ridiculous
True that's technically not an exploit as you can create potions of fortify smiting and enchanting to the soft cap (without the alchemy restoration loop).
Yeh it’s possible to keep drinking fortify enchanting potions and make stronger fortify alchemy gear until it becomes ridiculous…then craft ridiculous fortify smithing gear and ridiculous fortify smithing potion.
@TBRHkyleHD skyrim being a solo game the description of fun depend on what you want to do with the game. if you want to OS everything it can be fun it depend only on you
@@antoinedenis9922 But you see, some people want a challenge when they play a game.. But at the same time they want their character to be as strong as possible. I mean that's the whole point of leveling up, getting gold, making armor. etc... But if you add a way to get ridiculous damage or an OP buff etc.. it kinda ruins the fun out of the game. When the inexperienced player doesn't know the "limits of the balance" of the game... (hence why MMORPG's usually nerf stuff that is too powerful.) cause it'd make the game not fun.. But their are people who'd love to feel strong, invincible, and have that Power Fantasy of being an OP god.. But I would still like it if the game did it intentionally, (Prototype 2) or I worked hard for that right... (My level 100 Dragonite.) etc etc, but yeah, it just depends on your playstyle.. I still kinda wish that Bethesda made a hard cap on damage, like 200 on an unenchanted weapon, But you'd still get the bonuses from power attacks and other perks/effects. always makes me worried that I'm getting too strong and all the fights including bosses would be way too easy. hahaha, maybe I'm just a complicated guy. ^_^
The way to get the best weapon is to max alchemy, enchanting, and blacksmithing. The system is so broken that you can improve the items nearly without limit. There are plenty of videos where you can find this being done. Have to get some money so you can push through while buying items so you don't have to farm them yourself. Or just save a ton over 100s of hours of gameplay and have at it.
Beetlesiri yes... we know but at the beginning he said with no exploits, glitches or hacking, this falls into the first 2 categories so it’s not allowed, but if he were to do the alchemy he could’ve made stronger enchanting and smithing potions, it’s not an exploit so it’s allowed
I recommend to boost Restoration to 70 and get the Necromancer perk. When you become a vampire this perk will increase your enchantments so you deal even more Damage
@@Zero_DaHero +dual wield with 2 of em, dragon aspect for the critical damage boost, and increases shout power boost, and elemental fury, then wear gauntlets to increase 1 handed, you’re gonna one shot pretty much everything
@@TheSuJ also dual wield with iron dagger in left hand smithed to perfection and get dual flurry wich is boosted by necromage and use elemetal fury shout use a perfect stalharim mace to kill enemies in seconds (use mace because swing speed is determined by left hand weapon) also dont enchant the iron dagger so u can use elemental fury
Hmm, yes and no. I fought the Ebony warrior on legendary using a maxed out stahlrim sword with chaos damage and a frost enchantment. I then tested fighting the Ebony warrior on legendary using a maxed out dragonbone sword with chaos damage and absorb health. The dragonbone sword defeated him MUCH faster. Reason why? Ebony warrior has elemental magic resistance. Also, the base damage was higher using the dragonbone sword, so it took more life away per swing. The frost damage was negligible due to the Ebony warrior's frost resistance. Many enemies in Skyrim have a resistance to frost. However, very few have a resistance to magic itself, so the absorb health spell is much more effective on the majority of enemies including the Ebony warrior.
a very interesting observation. That would make it a god-teir sword. However, it depends on who you're stabbing. You're sword was better vs ebony warrior tho.
Yes but you could also wear onehanded boosting armor when in combat which raises physical damage of the weapon further thus almost negating the utility of a dragonbone sword in this situation as it's damage will be much higher
My strongest weapon was a maxed Nord Hero Sword with the enchantments of Red Eagle's Bane and the Pale Blade, which I named "Sword of Lost Legends". Sadly that save got corrupted so I'll have to reforge it someday.
Yes sadly, Destruction is the only damage related skill whose enchantment does not increase damage. Like all magic enhantments, it reduces the casting cost instead. However fortify skill potions do increase spell effectiveness.
TheFlameGamer, you can actually calculate this: Say you can kill Alduin in 10 seconds, then all you have to do is divide 1 by 10, so put 1/10, and you get 0.1, say you can kill him in 20 seconds, 0.05. The formula is simply a/d (Alduin/duration) if you want to calculate the aps. Also if I get my math wrong, don't blame me, I'm a week into school break.
@@AntoineViallonDevelloper no at that point, swing speed is put into the calculations, but if it's a one shot its gonna be a really small number either way
“You will simply have to try this for yourself” -needs skill level 100 on Enchanting, smithing, destruction, all of Azhidals armor, a few of the best enchanting potions, a stalrhim sword, and the patiences to do this 😤😤😤😤😤
Holy shit someone made a video about making a powerful weapon and 1. it's actually powerful and 2. no exploits or anything was involved and imagine a Stahlrim Warhammer with these enchantments
If you do this with a dagger, you can do more swings per second, but the enchantment doesn't change depending on what weapon you put it right? So putting an enchantment like this on a dagger would be even more OP.
When this video was posted it had already been 6 years since the game release and it still has 47K views along with comments from 2018 that's like 8 years. Damn Skyrim was amazing! Can't wait for ES VI.
Assuming Bethesda hasn't fallen into EA/Activision levels of buttfuckery, yes the next Elder Scrolls will be great. If they continue the trend of Fallout4 and Fallout76...well let's just say it will be a dark day indeed.
@@fcon8507 A day of true disappointment. Although, I've read where Todd Howard has acknowledged the jokes about Skyrim and how everything they put it on it becomes a hit. He's said Bethesda intends to make TES 6 playable for at least a decade. So hopefully they'll make it as good as Skyrim and hopefully not cut as much stuff out like they did with Skryim.
For me it was killing everything with my soul stealing pickaxe of frost ;) Have to carry the thing around to mine so I might as well use it to fill soulgems as well ;)
Using only the vanilla version of Skyrim on the PS4, stacking Fortify Restoration and Fortify Enchantment potions to create my own Smithing outfit, I created a bow so ridiculous that I accidentally murdered Paarthurnax with one misfired arrow and didn’t even realize it until the end of the game when The Blades asked me if I would kill him and I had a dialogue prompt to reply that I already had and it wasn’t marked [Lie]. I ran up to the mountain to check and he was very, very dead. I wanted to be able to wear different clothes and so I put an enchantment on a pair of Leather Bracers that gave me 10,000 Armor and a carry weight capacity of 35,000 lbs. Don’t recommend trying to carry anywhere near 35k in weight, it took forever just to put things in a chest for storage, slowed the F out of the game.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! You killed Paarthurnax, you demon, you could you? He was so wise and just glorious. I hate you! j/k But seriously, i killed him once and had such a guilty conscience i had to reload the game before that action. :D
I created a Long Sword with 3000 damage, by using the Fortify Enchantment potion glitch. I used the sword on the Black Swordman, both of us died instantly. Later I found out the Black Swordman has this annoying Reflect Damage perk.
Just want to mention, that seeing as most of the damage is from enchantments on here, if you put them on a stahlrim dagger you get an even faster swing rate, so not the highest damage per hit, but a better damage per second
@@dominicjeffrey9477 Let's not forget, with maxed out alchemy and some fortify alchemy armor, you can also make much more powerful potions and better enchanted fortify enchanting/smithing sets which will greatly enhance your smithing and enchanting so you can further increase the damage output of not only your enchantments but the weapon.
A lot of the damage (at least when done properly and not like in this video) comes from the base weapon damage as well, not just the enchantment (which is still relevant but not the only source of damage). Fortify one handed plays a large role (for swords) as well and daggers (for whatever reason) are unaffected by fortify one handed. So a sword would still be optimal.
You haven't even considered what it'd be like if you started chucking fortify enchanting and fortify smithing potions into the mix. Not to mention if you're a vampire with the necromage perk.
true alchemy potential maxes out at around 37% buff, so a fortify smithing potion without use of fortify health caps at 37%. the same for alchemy and for enchanting. I can get a dragon bone sword with armor enchantments and skill tree perks up over 300. add those to the video we just watched and you have a sword that on the sneak could potentially do around 2000+ damage in one hit
I think Fudgemuppet consider that exploting. Drinking 1 potion to increase enchanting then crafting another more powerful potion with the increased gear enchants and then repeat, sounds like 101 when it comes to exploiting. What i found weird is why they didn't use the in-game 50% elixir.
the best I've done is 140% but i'm just getting it figured out. what ingredients do you use? i equip 5 enchanted items that improve alchemy 36% each. ( taking advantage of a moth priest blindfold that can be worn with a hood )
The guy in the video didn't forget... He mentioned he wasn't going to use 'exploits', and if you start using alchemy and enchanting together, you hit that grey area where it can easily be considered exploiting the broken improvement system..
I know I'm a few years late to the party here, but there's actually a way to make the enchantment EVEN STRONGER. The Perk after Augmented flames makes fire Spells count as fear spells (and this applies to Chaos) so perks in the Illusion skill tree that strengthen fear spells and enchantments, now affect Fire as well. Not all that necessary, but hey, more damage is more damage.
Peers at my stack of +251% enchanting potions... I may have done the cycle a few too many times... but I've got legit gear that scares me. Conquer the empire alone levrl gear.
Oh boy, this is barely scratching the surface.. This is how you create the true most powerful legit weapon in Skyrim: Get Alchemy, Smithing, Destruction and Enchanting to 100 With all perks unlocked Go to Solstheim and obtain the Black Book, The Sallow Regent in White Ridge Barrow, just south east of the Stalhrim Source. Go to Aprocrypha and get Seeker of Sorcery and go back to Solstheim Now go to Kolbjorn Barrow and excavate it (You will need 11,000 gold for the full excavation), and whilst venturing in, grab all of Ahzidal's armor (You don't need the rings) Once you have the armor set go to the farm just east of Raven Rock where you'll find the captain of the Redoran Guard being attacked by Ash Spawn, kill the spawn and talk to the captain. he'll eventually get you to go to Fort Frostmoth and kill General Falx Carius. He is always a higher level than you and has a powerful weapon so be careful. Once Carius is dead take his weapon, the Champion's Cudgel, which is the only weapon in the game guaranteed to have Chaos Damage. Then report back to the captain for some cash. Now go to the blacksmith in Raven Rock specifically, and reset him for a Stalhrim weapon of your choice, Or smith it yourself, but you'll need to do a questline for it. Now go to an Arcane Enchanter and while wearing Ahzidal's Armour set (Helmet, Armor, Gauntlets and Boots) create Fortify Alchemy and Fortify Smithing gear. (Hands Ring and Necklace for both as well as Body for Smithing and Head for Alchemy. Now obtain Snowberries, (Found along the streets of Dawnstar) and Blue Butterfly wings (From Blue butterflies, commonly found outside Whiterun near the Honningbrew Meadery) Now obtain Glowing Mushrooms, (commonly found in caves) and Blisterwort (Sold a ton by every alchemist, so go to Arcadia in Whiterun) Go back to Solstheim and get the Seeker Of Shadows from the Black Book (Black Books can only be read in Solstheim) (Make sure to have your fortify Alchemy gear on. Go to an Alchemy lab and create Fortify Enchanting Potions with snowberries and blue butterfly wings and Fortify Smithing potions with Blisterwort and Glowing Mushrooms. I recommend making a potion for every piece of armor along with a weapon (7 armor + 1 weapon = 8 potions) Go back to Solstheim and get Seeker of Might from the book Go to the blacksmith in Raven Rock and ask him about his stupid pickaxe, go to the mine and get the old man to give it back. go to the Stalhrim source north west of White Ridge Barrow and grab 1 piece of Stalhrim, (More if you're enchanting multiple weapons Go back to the Blacksmith, face the grindstone, put on the Fortify Smithing gear drink the potion and smith up the Stalhrim weapon. Read that damn book one more time and get Seeker of Sorcery. Make sure you wear Ahzidal's Armor and check in 'Active Effects' to be sure you have Ahziadal's Genius. Go to an arcane enchanter, make sure you have enough Grand Souls to get the maximum benefit. face the enchanter and drink a potion of Fortify Enchanting. go into the menu and enchant the sword / weapon/s. If you REALLY want to crank out the max damage enchant your armor with Fortify Destruction, (with your current buffs you should only have to enchant 3 pieces of gear with it as opposed to the usual 4) Fortify Destruction doesn't just affect spells but enchantments too, so you can max out charges with a reduction of over 100% Fortify Destruction and lose no charges. And that's it. it took me 40 minutes to write this out and my hands hurt. Enjoy
i'm so glad for this video. even though it's 4 years old, it's still such an outlier with the other guides always talking about the potion thing to put the damage to like 7000000. i don't care about farming an exploit like that
FudgeMuppet couldn't you of used Blacksmith's Elixir for a 50% increase when upgrading weapons and armour to increase the damage of the sword in general? the sword could've had over 100 damage just without the enchantments. combined with the 300+ damage with enchantments, etc, did you forget about that or didn't it allow you to upgrade it with the elixir?
Its safer to fortify your one and two handed attack power via gloves or rings :) Then any ordinary blade won't hurt you if you are disarmed but it WILL do catastrophic damage to your enemies.
I use paralyze with chaos and I use destruction regen on my armour that I can and fortify bows on the helmet with carry weight and same for gauntlets I do rings and necklaces which does fortify smithing and alchemy 1 of each and 1 of each of carry weight and I think its destruction regen and at the end of it destruction magic costs nothing bows do insane damage and that's all dragon gear to make the most powerful sword just do that and inchart your armour and rings and necklace with fortify one handed it becomes very easy I play on legendary now for the challenge but you come to a stage were you are a god one of the greatest games ever
It is not a guaranteed full damage output. There are enemies that are resistant to lightning (shock) damage. Not as many as those with Fire resistance, but still, there are a few with resistance to lightning (shock). For example, Dragons. All Dragons are resistant to elemental damage, the type they are most resistant to is based on their Breath attack. For example, a Dragon that uses Fire is more resistant to Fire than it is to the other two elements, Dragons that use Frost are more resistant to Frost than they are to other elements. So, just because you are using lightning, does not guarantee maximum damage output.
@@Narco.Trafficante I prefer Frost. It is equally powerful as the other two, unless you are a Vampire, then Frost spells are 30% (or more), stronger than both of the other two elements. Frost also depletes stamina, which is more useful than depleting Magica since most enemies you fight and encounter use melee weapons and do lots of power attacks. Deplete their stamina in addition to their health, they can't really do anything other than basic attacks, which do not hurt very much, nor do they stagger.
@@SakuragiSayo Unless they're a nord, frost troll, frost dragon or anything else. I dont care for depleting stamina since i block thoroughly and counter when i stagger opponent's or disarm them with a bash, but with mages thats out of the question when they keep their distance until their magica is depleted. Frost can slow them down but im more of a shock kind of guy.
You can make the chaos enchantment do more damage if you get the aspect of terror perk in the illusion skill tree, the perk makes fear spells work on higher level people and it also boosts the damage of fire spells or enchantments because fire spells count as fear spells, I think it raises the damage of fire spells by 10 points so it should make the fire, frost, and shock do 10 more points of damage in the chaos enchantment
Boosting your weapons to insane levels can backfire in the most spectacular way vs the Ebony Warrior. Using the Alchemy > Enchanting loop as a Necromage Vampire I'm able to get my fortify enchanting potions to a max of 49%, and using that I followed the steps here. Now my sword does over 1000 damage as I have 3 Fortify One-Handed items on me; not sure of the damage enchantment to the sword, but that's not important. Because my sword is so strong, when facing the Ebony Warrior, his Reflect Blows perk often means that I end up killing myself as the damage is reflected to me. That means that in order to survive that, I'd need more than 1000 health so it's pretty insane.
Fun small glitch you can do to push that damage just a smidgen further! Get restoration perk, the one that does 30% more damage to undead. Only after becoming a vampire from the dawn guard DLC. The game considers you undead and will boost all magic you preform by 30% including enchantments!
Chaos Enchantment is my favorite in the game. Discovered with my thief character profile long ago and every Bow and dagger set she has has at least that one on it and her stronger weapons to her current load out has dual enchantments of Chaos and Paralyze so I can sneak up on people and stun them and kill them if they happen to take more than one strike.
Fun fact, you can boost this enchantment EVEN FURTHER after the weapon is enchanted by equipping the Dragon Priest mask Duukan, ALSO from the Dragonborn DLC. It increases your frost DMG done by another 25%
This build info would be wild if you put it on a dual wield dagger build. Increasing the amount of hits with the blades is sure to increase the amount of times the chaos enchantment would spark.
I’ve always preferred fire soul trap and flames on a Daedric Warhammer because of the preliminary bonus damage because the targets on fire from fire soul trap, then the flames to bonus damage because they’re already on fire. Then I go all out two handed, heavy armour and magic resistance buffs on my armour, plus the lord stone to further negate pesky mages... we’re looking at over 250 base damage without factoring in weapon enchantments here. Of course I always name my hammer Letztes Licht, or Last Light. Best part is it doesn’t require DLC!
@@karrieanderson2734 my not overpowered put hard work into making 100 blacksmithing 100 enchanting new 754 damage stahlrim sword defies your broken trash
I’ve played this game a long time, I’ve NEVER had the patience to get my enchantment and destruction to 100, and I’ve only got my smithing to 100 once.
I usually have smithing, one handed, alteration and sneak to 100 before reaching whiterun... And all of those except smithing are done in the opening scene/escape through the cave.
Komutan Logar Crit works off base damage. 30% extra base damage, even on the strongest sword, would not make up for applying enchantments like paralyze and chaos damage more often.
Iyas Al-Talafha well its since been patched (I think) but you could use a potion that increases your alchemy skill, drink it then craft another one etc. until you got an insane alchemy boost. You would then use your insane alchemy buff to craft a potion of smithing (or enchanting), which would make smithed items millions of percent stronger. Then go down to any forge, drink your potion and make any weapon. You now have a brokenly overpowered weapon that one hit kills everything.
If you want to use a non-Stahlrim base weapon, I can only recommend Chaos + Fiery Soul Trap. Or if you have the mods I have: Sword of Ancient Tongues with Chaos + Mace of Molag Bal + Dawnbreaker
How to make a stronger weapon1. The enchant-alchemy now has a limit (if im wrong then sorry I have SSE unofficial patch)2. Dragonborn dlc Black books3. Notched Pick4. falmer helmet can be used with a circletBonus (kind of) Make an armor set with fortify 1 handedConclusion: I reached a stalrim mace displaying over 130... because it couldnt show 1300
Try this one on for size guys. I *always* go for this item to make for one of the enchantments I'll eventually put on both my bow and my mace. I pick up the Bosmer Faendal in Riverwood as a follower and then go to Ironbind Barrow and kill the Warlord Gathric to get the two black soul gems he has, then kill Salma and Beem-ja with the Steel Battleaxe of Fiery Souls you find in Gathrics throneroom. I then go to Whiterun, learn the dual enchantment from the aformetioned weapon (Fiery Soultrap is two in one: fire damage and soultrap) and make a bow and a mace with this enchantment. I will hunt mudcrabs and scribs (no, that's Morrowind) with these and make money from, and level up making enchanted stuff, and from making potions, the best and quickest to level with being Creep Cluster + Mora Tapinella + Scaly Pholiotia: all of which you can grow at your place, Lakeview Manor, just east of Falkreath. Just a few weeks, game time, doing this and you'll be able to make the strongest weapon possible which is made using the necromage perk while you're a vampire. I have a Dragonbone Bow (and Mace) that has the Fiery Soultrap and Absorb Health enchantments on it, and with me wielding it (maximum perks in Marksman) I can easily kill dragons with one shot if a pertinent potion is drunk just before I use it: eg. I drink a Fortify Marksman potion I made (Bows do 195% more damage) and my "Vampiric Bow of Fiery Soultrap" (Legendary) which does 916 damage and is valued at 30,000+ septims, will kill the surliest dragon with one shot. The mace is almost as deadly.
Been playing this game for a long time, had no idea the destruction perks affected your enchantments, or that the stahlrim weapons would also boost the fire and shock components of the chaos enchantment
Michael Vazquez I have a 522 Damage War Bone (Dragonbone warhammer) while my Destruction is pretty crap and I haven't been using any DLCs And it's doing me pretty good, even if it could be tons better if I levelled up the Destruction tree Also side note: my armour rating is 1675, and I have 102% frost resistance and 52% fire resistance Feels pretty good even if it's not quite god tier yet.
You can make it much more powerful with: alchemy, fortify alchemy and smithing gear, smithing and enchanting potions, the right black book perks, necromage, aspect of terror perk(buffs fire damage), armor of azadal(+ 10 enchanting), fortify weapon tipe damge and some fortify destruction potions for added enchantment buff, fortify weapon damge tipe potion For added damage use sneak attack dammge and the stongest poison (jarrin root + any damage heath ingredient(combine with fortify alchemy)) Orc race power Dark brotherhood gloves For even more damage set difficulty to novice (x3 damage) I think that is it
I think putting fire or absorb health as second effect is better than frost damage. Yes, stahlrim boosts frost enchantment by 25% but most enemies have frost resitance in this game. Oh btw you didn't mention the Seeker of Sorcery ability (Sallow Regent black book). It boosts enchanting by 10%.
Because the first enchanment is chaos it will activate that 25% boost for frost enchantments for both. So the magnitude of fire/frost/shock will be the same anyway. So like you said fire and absorb health are good options. Shock is another good contender, because nearly nothing resists it.
I like using Keening and Harkon's sword together. Both have absorb all. Not the highest damage, but dual power attacks will drain so much that it will leave just about anything dead, or drained and then dead. Plus, you can use unique weapons with elemental fury for even more speed.
Nah, man, everyone here is wrong.... You put the Wabbajack through that process OP mentioned, then forcefully pleasure ten Hagravens with it (even if they say no, they'll eventually say yes)...and then you hide it in the Night Mother's coffin for five days (because 5 is the Dark Brotherhood's "sacred" number...also make sure the Keeper doesn't find it)...before proceeding to the last phase. Which is make Delphine lick every part of the weapon (and I mean to the last cubic FUCKING inch) until she has a mouthgasm (vomiting doesn't count). You do all that, the Madgod is gonna show up and reach the brink of death with laughter. He'll then help you unlock the Wabbajack's hidden potential, and all of Tamriel with quake with fear. Children and all others alike will drown themselves in the river before they let you within even nine yards to them with that ungodly horror...
Just an addition to make it stronger. In solsthiem go to White Ridge Barrow and fight your way in until you reach the room with dragon priest and a black book "The Sallow Regent" finish will get three powers. Seeker of Might "Boost smithing 10%", Seeker of Sorcery " Boost Enchanting 10%, Seeker of Shadow " Boost Alchemy 10%". Choose them before smithing, echanting or make potion. If you playing as a vampire level up restoration get the necromage perk this will boost some your enchantment. If want some bit of exploit (without unofficial patch). Too boost alchemy get falmer helmet at any circlet enchant the with alchemy. You can wear them at the same time. Additional boost on smithing get some dunmer boots echant it with smithing cause dunmer boots count as chest armor. With this (additional on the video) you can create 36% enchantment on smithing and alchemy as human/non-vampire. 42% as an Undead/Vampire
@@Maximum7077 There are small patches for it on nexus, that disables both Resto loop and Necromage boosting. (I really don't understand why they fixed both of them)
This is such a fun weapon. Kinda a pain to get all the skills leveled up, but boy is it worth it. I made a sword named Frostbite and a bow named Frostburn, and if you thought stealth archer was busted before, you ain't seen nothing yet. 😂 Also, enchant your gear so desteuction spells cost 100% less and you'll never have to recharge it.
so did your version of Skyrim not come with the Alchemy skill tree to make even stronger Fortify Smithing and Enchanting potions? that seems like a pretty massive oversight if you're going to make a video about crafting the strongest weapon in the game without mods or exploits.
Chris Rigney yeah, OR enchanting Gear to fortify alchemy to make better potions to enchants Gear with fortify smithing + smithing potions. my weapons have ridiculous numbers thanks to that, even without a damage enchant on them.
Chris Rigney Doesn't matter. It's still the strongest in comparison with any other non-crafted weapon, and any more damage is trivial at best. Besides, they verbally mentioned that you could take it even further if you wanted to. No need to nitpick or beat a dead horse.
Hey guys thanks for watching! We just wanted to remind you that this is the strongest weapon without exploits. If you want like a zillion damage you need exploits like the alchemy loop :D ENJOY!!
FudgeMuppet you forgot about alchemy with that you can do a lot more damage and in damage alone the mo ace is the best one handed weapon and why not use dedric weapon
François Maspuche no not the exploit but raw damage instead of magic damage is better because dragons and some enemy's are almost completely immune to it
Thanks to the restoration glitch I made an iron sword that instantly kills anything. Even Kaarstag on legendary. I gave it to my younger sister in case she got really stuck.
Some folks prefer playing w/o glitches. My biggest problem with the Resto glitch is that you can pretty much create an OP weapon before you hit level 15. That's nuts and makes the game boring IMO - but to each their own.
Unless I'm mistaken you're missing something... The Falmer helmet allows you to wear a circlet as well. You can enchant both items separately for an additional bonus, rather than just wearing one item on your character's head to boost enchanting.
There are fantastic additions to the process in comments! We are aware of alchemy/smithing potions and black book effects etc to push it all even further, but we just wanted to make the main points;
Stahlrim with chaos/frost damage, increasing the enchantment damage dramatically, and Destruction perks affecting enchantments damage. Leaving you with a very powerful sword.
Thanks again guys for watching and working together in the comments, it's really appreciated!

FudgeMuppet is the most powerful weapon the most raw damage or with affects? I think that windshear is the best weapon in the game Tbh
FudgeMuppet you couldve used the perk that enhances fear spells. all fire spells have a fear tag on them. increasing the chaos damage even further
hi fudgemuppet i would like to note that if you are a vampire & have the certain perk in the restoration tree the enchantments will be even stronger
I get why you focused on the Stahlrim and chaos damage, but there are several potential enchantments and perks that could make this weapon even better. I see in the comments above me fear increasing your chaos damage through fire (which I was actually previously unaware of) and the necromage/vampire combination to increase your enchantment power.
I haven't tested how much the fear extra effect will boost the chaos damage, but I have reached some pretty high damage levels with all the other extra effects. Personally I like utility so sometimes I run with two Stahlrim maces (for the ignore armor effect with other perks) and an absorb health on one and absorb stamina on the other. These with the soul siphon perk allow for nonstop damage and survivability.
Just some thoughts! I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thank you!
FudgeMuppet Are you guys gonna do more fallout redemption videos anytime soon?
"Hmm this sounds quite interesting, I might actually go for it in the next PT"
*Proceeds to make another stealth archer*
UGH I KNOW RIGHT! I promised to myself that i'd make a spellsword, and then ten hours later i had myself a shadow warrior that just one shots everything with a dagger. also cool tip don't know if it's a glitch, in the middle of battle with the final sneak perk you can sneak and dagger attack and for an instant the enemy won't see you so you can one shot them even if combat's started. op af
HMan Gaming yeah wanted to go full barbarian: only two and one handed weapons...finally he was a stealth archer.
I swear I'm the only person that doesn't do that

My cousins out making the strongest chaos sword of all time and what do I get, Guard Duty.
xD
LOL Nice
Lmao
Ya, well while you were sleeping on gaurd duty I took an arrow in the knee.
your cousin is out absorbing dragon souls, and what do you get? someone stealing your sweetroll before dinner.
“This sword can do 1300000000 Dmg!”
“This arrow can paralyze you for literal years. Not in universe years, years of an external universe where Beings wield us like pawns to their whims”
A healthy alternative to essential NPCs such as delphine
"I used to be a adventurer like you, Then I took a arrow in the knee"
I wouldn't do that with timers. I tried it as an experiment as a glitch poison that has paralysis work for thousands of seconds and the game crashed 100% of the time.
Strongest weapon in game requires a large amount of time to obtain.. or you can pick some flowers and catch some butterflies to get one shot weapons.
Or just punch shopkeepers until you have all the ingredients you need.

With skyrim anniversary edition, you can literally make %600 smiting potion without any exploits. Because Dreugh wax, stoneflower petal and gold kanet ingradients which was officially added by bethesda boosts your enhanting and smiting potions even more which at a point you can get ridicilous numbers without any exploits...
Its stuff like that that makes me lose hope in tes6. I feel I will still get my money worth but I want to have to genuinely put together a good build and think through tactics and synergy. Crafting should be a bit of a extra layer to optimize your build and not full blown make you a god. Combat and character progression needs a complete rework. I havent seen a single person that would pick Tes over the several other games out there in terms of gameplay. No choices or branching story to be had neither but that is another subject. I just think its hilarious how there are so many guides on a game that is legit as easy and watered down as you can get. I do enjoy the lore stuff and what you may have missed stuff which exploring Tes does do well

He said no exploits but he still could've used 100 Alchemy to make a stronger potion
True that's technically not an exploit as you can create potions of fortify smiting and enchanting to the soft cap (without the alchemy restoration loop).
That’s what the Spiffing Britt does except he multiplies it and I guess that’s when it becomes an exploit. 🤷🏼♂️😂
Yeh it’s possible to keep drinking fortify enchanting potions and make stronger fortify alchemy gear until it becomes ridiculous…then craft ridiculous fortify smithing gear and ridiculous fortify smithing potion.
@TBRHkyleHD skyrim being a solo game the description of fun depend on what you want to do with the game. if you want to OS everything it can be fun it depend only on you
@@antoinedenis9922 But you see, some people want a challenge when they play a game.. But at the same time they want their character to be as strong as possible. I mean that's the whole point of leveling up, getting gold, making armor. etc...
But if you add a way to get ridiculous damage or an OP buff etc.. it kinda ruins the fun out of the game. When the inexperienced player doesn't know the "limits of the balance" of the game... (hence why MMORPG's usually nerf stuff that is too powerful.) cause it'd make the game not fun..
But their are people who'd love to feel strong, invincible, and have that Power Fantasy of being an OP god.. But I would still like it if the game did it intentionally, (Prototype 2) or I worked hard for that right... (My level 100 Dragonite.)
etc etc, but yeah, it just depends on your playstyle.. I still kinda wish that Bethesda made a hard cap on damage, like 200 on an unenchanted weapon, But you'd still get the bonuses from power attacks and other perks/effects.
always makes me worried that I'm getting too strong and all the fights including bosses would be way too easy. hahaha, maybe I'm just a complicated guy. ^_^
Sooo, this is a strong sword... but can it kill Nazeem?
Zeto Nothing can kill Nazeem
+Imperial Royal Guard Console Commands say hi.

I don't know if you can cheat your way to the Cloud District

I kinda cringed when he improved the sword without wearing enchanted blacksmithing gear lol
Isnt there a way to destroy the the blacksmith enchanted gear to add those same perks to this armor set?
Reznik StealthShadow no you can’t put enchantments on ahzidal’s set (it’s already enchanted
Me too
The way to get the best weapon is to max alchemy, enchanting, and blacksmithing. The system is so broken that you can improve the items nearly without limit. There are plenty of videos where you can find this being done.
Have to get some money so you can push through while buying items so you don't have to farm them yourself. Or just save a ton over 100s of hours of gameplay and have at it.
Beetlesiri yes... we know but at the beginning he said with no exploits, glitches or hacking, this falls into the first 2 categories so it’s not allowed, but if he were to do the alchemy he could’ve made stronger enchanting and smithing potions, it’s not an exploit so it’s allowed
Pretty sure a dagger with all those enchants would deal more damage using cicero's gear and 15x stealth from daggers.
Are you trying to kill napping gods?
You can actually get 30x, I also have 1 handed enchantment on my ring and necklace and a cape (mod). So I basically do thousands of damage per hit
Daggers are faster too
I put one handed and bow enchantments on all of my sneaker gear. Puts the game on ez mode tbh.
Just use a stahlrim dagger
*drinking game:* take a shot every time he says "percent"

Or every time he says enchantment
Or whenever he says damage
*alcoholic coma achieved*
*Gets the Bourbon and Tequila, hides keys, phone, and wallet under couch* Well... time to get wasted.
I recommend to boost Restoration to 70 and get the Necromancer perk. When you become a vampire this perk will increase your enchantments so you deal even more Damage
Apply orc berserk rage to that.

@@scissorsdont WEEL YOU COULD PUT FORT ONE HANDED ON ALL UR SHIT AND NECROMAGE COULD BOOST THAT
Hmm, yes and no. I fought the Ebony warrior on legendary using a maxed out stahlrim sword with chaos damage and a frost enchantment. I then tested fighting the Ebony warrior on legendary using a maxed out dragonbone sword with chaos damage and absorb health. The dragonbone sword defeated him MUCH faster. Reason why? Ebony warrior has elemental magic resistance. Also, the base damage was higher using the dragonbone sword, so it took more life away per swing. The frost damage was negligible due to the Ebony warrior's frost resistance. Many enemies in Skyrim have a resistance to frost. However, very few have a resistance to magic itself, so the absorb health spell is much more effective on the majority of enemies including the Ebony warrior.
a very interesting observation. That would make it a god-teir sword. However, it depends on who you're stabbing. You're sword was better vs ebony warrior tho.
i one shot him on legendary with my stealth archer build. stealth archer over everything
Yes but you could also wear onehanded boosting armor when in combat which raises physical damage of the weapon further thus almost negating the utility of a dragonbone sword in this situation as it's damage will be much higher
@@nicholasdentel3136 But it would just give even more damage difference due to the dragonbone's higher base damage

My strongest weapon was a maxed Nord Hero Sword with the enchantments of Red Eagle's Bane and the Pale Blade, which I named "Sword of Lost Legends". Sadly that save got corrupted so I'll have to reforge it someday.

Moo Poo I didn't know that thanks man
I thought my enchant broke beacuse of mod! Thanks for the info
Yes sadly, Destruction is the only damage related skill whose enchantment does not increase damage. Like all magic enhantments, it reduces the casting cost instead. However fortify skill potions do increase spell effectiveness.
Moo Poo wait really? i thaught it was glitched cool
I was worried this would just be you doing the fortify exploit 100 times but was glad to see you kept within the intended limits of the game.
Jake MacPherson though I would like to see how far it's possible to take that exploit.
Negative damage values, I believe.
What fortify exploit?
I got a enchantment to go into the millions before np
I doubt the computer will crash, the exe might once you get past the 32-bit limitations and into negative damage values. Its around 2 billion damage.
whats the APS (Auldin's per second)
None as there is only 1 alduin you can actually kill, spawning alduin in breaks it and makes alduin unkillable
TheFlameGamer, you can actually calculate this:
Say you can kill Alduin in 10 seconds, then all you have to do is divide 1 by 10, so put 1/10, and you get 0.1, say you can kill him in 20 seconds, 0.05.
The formula is simply a/d (Alduin/duration) if you want to calculate the aps.
Also if I get my math wrong, don't blame me, I'm a week into school break.
@@groundtoast372 so basically one shoting Alduin is killing him with a duration of zero, so it makes an infinite amount of Alduins per second.
Hahaha
@@AntoineViallonDevelloper no at that point, swing speed is put into the calculations, but if it's a one shot its gonna be a really small number either way

If you do this with a dagger, you can do more swings per second, but the enchantment doesn't change depending on what weapon you put it right? So putting an enchantment like this on a dagger would be even more OP.

When this video was posted it had already been 6 years since the game release and it still has 47K views along with comments from 2018 that's like 8 years. Damn Skyrim was amazing! Can't wait for ES VI.
Assuming Bethesda hasn't fallen into EA/Activision levels of buttfuckery, yes the next Elder Scrolls will be great. If they continue the trend of Fallout4 and Fallout76...well let's just say it will be a dark day indeed.

It's Elder Scrolls Online: Elsewyer. That's the next game Bethesda has decided to release. I'm sure it'll be at least ok
@@fcon8507 A day of true disappointment. Although, I've read where Todd Howard has acknowledged the jokes about Skyrim and how everything they put it on it becomes a hit.

I know why this comment only have one reply, bcuz that reply is *P E R F E C T*
Using only the vanilla version of Skyrim on the PS4, stacking Fortify Restoration and Fortify Enchantment potions to create my own Smithing outfit, I created a bow so ridiculous that I accidentally murdered Paarthurnax with one misfired arrow and didn’t even realize it until the end of the game when The Blades asked me if I would kill him and I had a dialogue prompt to reply that I already had and it wasn’t marked [Lie]. I ran up to the mountain to check and he was very, very dead. I wanted to be able to wear different clothes and so I put an enchantment on a pair of Leather Bracers that gave me 10,000 Armor and a carry weight capacity of 35,000 lbs. Don’t recommend trying to carry anywhere near 35k in weight, it took forever just to put things in a chest for storage, slowed the F out of the game.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
You killed Paarthurnax, you demon, you could you? He was so wise and just glorious. I hate you!
j/k
But seriously, i killed him once and had such a guilty conscience i had to reload the game before that action. :D
IKR. I'm such a tool.
I created a Long Sword with 3000 damage, by using the Fortify Enchantment potion glitch. I used the sword on the Black Swordman, both of us died instantly. Later I found out the Black Swordman has this annoying Reflect Damage perk.
GradCLVZ - Ok, be honest...what did you name your sword?
Tao Ozkara. It was a dragonbone blade. I named it Dragonsting.
Just want to mention, that seeing as most of the damage is from enchantments on here, if you put them on a stahlrim dagger you get an even faster swing rate, so not the highest damage per hit, but a better damage per second
Plus, of you're a stealth assassin main like myself, you can go ahead and times that damage by 30
@@dominicjeffrey9477 And if you're an orc, you can double that with berserker rage
@@kingofdeath9012 crazy, right?
@@dominicjeffrey9477 Let's not forget, with maxed out alchemy and some fortify alchemy armor, you can also make much more powerful potions and better enchanted fortify enchanting/smithing sets which will greatly enhance your smithing and enchanting so you can further increase the damage output of not only your enchantments but the weapon.
A lot of the damage (at least when done properly and not like in this video) comes from the base weapon damage as well, not just the enchantment (which is still relevant but not the only source of damage). Fortify one handed plays a large role (for swords) as well and daggers (for whatever reason) are unaffected by fortify one handed. So a sword would still be optimal.
You haven't even considered what it'd be like if you started chucking fortify enchanting and fortify smithing potions into the mix. Not to mention if you're a vampire with the necromage perk.
James Windsor true
true alchemy potential maxes out at around 37% buff, so a fortify smithing potion without use of fortify health caps at 37%. the same for alchemy and for enchanting. I can get a dragon bone sword with armor enchantments and skill tree perks up over 300. add those to the video we just watched and you have a sword that on the sneak could potentially do around 2000+ damage in one hit
0:26
CocaineYeti with necromage and swapping between black books it's possible to reach 42%
I think Fudgemuppet consider that exploting. Drinking 1 potion to increase enchanting then crafting another more powerful potion with the increased gear enchants and then repeat, sounds like 101 when it comes to exploiting. What i found weird is why they didn't use the in-game 50% elixir.
Yeah, I'm just standing here with a steel mace.
Weapons and armor can be improved "32%" better.. That's cute
Tea-Rex what? i believe that is the highest you can get without using exploits which they said they wouldn't use.
i can make a potion with 250% better weapon and 64% enchanting
the best I've done is 140% but i'm just getting it figured out. what ingredients do you use? i equip 5 enchanted items that improve alchemy 36% each. ( taking advantage of a moth priest blindfold that can be worn with a hood )
The guy in the video didn't forget... He mentioned he wasn't going to use 'exploits', and if you start using alchemy and enchanting together, you hit that grey area where it can easily be considered exploiting the broken improvement system..
AndroxineVortex but he did use an exploit tho
I know I'm a few years late to the party here, but there's actually a way to make the enchantment EVEN STRONGER. The Perk after Augmented flames makes fire Spells count as fear spells (and this applies to Chaos) so perks in the Illusion skill tree that strengthen fear spells and enchantments, now affect Fire as well. Not all that necessary, but hey, more damage is more damage.
Also he could slap on the frost damage boosting dragon priest mask from the dragonborn dlc

@@alexmoran7886 too late... Ebony Warrior was not prepared.
Oh boy, this is barely scratching the surface.. This is how you create the true most powerful legit weapon in Skyrim:
Get Alchemy, Smithing, Destruction and Enchanting to 100 With all perks unlocked
Go to Solstheim and obtain the Black Book, The Sallow Regent in White Ridge Barrow, just south east of the Stalhrim Source.
Go to Aprocrypha and get Seeker of Sorcery and go back to Solstheim
Now go to Kolbjorn Barrow and excavate it (You will need 11,000 gold for the full excavation), and whilst venturing in, grab all of Ahzidal's armor (You don't need the rings)
Once you have the armor set go to the farm just east of Raven Rock where you'll find the captain of the Redoran Guard being attacked by Ash Spawn, kill the spawn and talk to the captain. he'll eventually get you to go to Fort Frostmoth and kill General Falx Carius. He is always a higher level than you and has a powerful weapon so be careful. Once Carius is dead take his weapon, the Champion's Cudgel, which is the only weapon in the game guaranteed to have Chaos Damage. Then report back to the captain for some cash.
Now go to the blacksmith in Raven Rock specifically, and reset him for a Stalhrim weapon of your choice, Or smith it yourself, but you'll need to do a questline for it.
Now go to an Arcane Enchanter and while wearing Ahzidal's Armour set (Helmet, Armor, Gauntlets and Boots) create Fortify Alchemy and Fortify Smithing gear. (Hands Ring and Necklace for both as well as Body for Smithing and Head for Alchemy.
Now obtain Snowberries, (Found along the streets of Dawnstar) and Blue Butterfly wings (From Blue butterflies, commonly found outside Whiterun near the Honningbrew Meadery)
Now obtain Glowing Mushrooms, (commonly found in caves) and Blisterwort (Sold a ton by every alchemist, so go to Arcadia in Whiterun)
Go back to Solstheim and get the Seeker Of Shadows from the Black Book (Black Books can only be read in Solstheim)
(Make sure to have your fortify Alchemy gear on. Go to an Alchemy lab and create Fortify Enchanting Potions with snowberries and blue butterfly wings and Fortify Smithing potions with Blisterwort and Glowing Mushrooms. I recommend making a potion for every piece of armor along with a weapon (7 armor + 1 weapon = 8 potions)
Go back to Solstheim and get Seeker of Might from the book
Go to the blacksmith in Raven Rock and ask him about his stupid pickaxe, go to the mine and get the old man to give it back. go to the Stalhrim source north west of White Ridge Barrow and grab 1 piece of Stalhrim, (More if you're enchanting multiple weapons
Go back to the Blacksmith, face the grindstone, put on the Fortify Smithing gear drink the potion and smith up the Stalhrim weapon.
Read that damn book one more time and get Seeker of Sorcery.
Make sure you wear Ahzidal's Armor and check in 'Active Effects' to be sure you have Ahziadal's Genius. Go to an arcane enchanter, make sure you have enough Grand Souls to get the maximum benefit. face the enchanter and drink a potion of Fortify Enchanting. go into the menu and enchant the sword / weapon/s.
If you REALLY want to crank out the max damage enchant your armor with Fortify Destruction, (with your current buffs you should only have to enchant 3 pieces of gear with it as opposed to the usual 4) Fortify Destruction doesn't just affect spells but enchantments too, so you can max out charges with a reduction of over 100% Fortify Destruction and lose no charges.
And that's it. it took me 40 minutes to write this out and my hands hurt. Enjoy
Thanks for your arthritis. why the Black Books though ?
i'm so glad for this video. even though it's 4 years old, it's still such an outlier with the other guides always talking about the potion thing to put the damage to like 7000000. i don't care about farming an exploit like that
FudgeMuppet couldn't you of used Blacksmith's Elixir for a 50% increase when upgrading weapons and armour to increase the damage of the sword in general? the sword could've had over 100 damage just without the enchantments. combined with the 300+ damage with enchantments, etc, did you forget about that or didn't it allow you to upgrade it with the elixir?
Camerz That's called cheese.
Not really, you can pretty easily find or buy the 50% elixir, its in the base game. Maybe they just forgot about it.
Camerz and you can use fortify one handed. Without exploits, you can achieve 43% better one handed. before using that armor boost for 10 more points.
Cody Opperman actually without exploits you can get up to 54
DarthyPoo Pretty sure FM intentionally didn't mention the Black Books because it would add too many steps. Could be wrong of course.
Finally a good video, and not a "How to get 5 million damage weapon with a shitload of exploits" one.
ikr? just a pity theres no stalhrim equivalent for the other 2 elements in the elderscrolls. actually, i think there is, but not in skyrim.
CAn u realy get 5 million damage?! cause I realy whant to no how to do that!!!!!11
but he still uses an exploit :c with the chaos enchant and frost perks
Its safer to fortify your one and two handed attack power via gloves or rings :)
Then any ordinary blade won't hurt you if you are disarmed but it WILL do catastrophic damage to your enemies.
Or just exploit in a fork that does a million hp drain per swing.
Too many enemies have frost resistance so i recommend the second enchantment to be shock damage so its a guaranteed full damage output
I use paralyze with chaos and I use destruction regen on my armour that I can and fortify bows on the helmet with carry weight and same for gauntlets I do rings and necklaces which does fortify smithing and alchemy 1 of each and 1 of each of carry weight and I think its destruction regen and at the end of it destruction magic costs nothing bows do insane damage and that's all dragon gear to make the most powerful sword just do that and inchart your armour and rings and necklace with fortify one handed it becomes very easy I play on legendary now for the challenge but you come to a stage were you are a god one of the greatest games ever
It is not a guaranteed full damage output. There are enemies that are resistant to lightning (shock) damage. Not as many as those with Fire resistance, but still, there are a few with resistance to lightning (shock). For example, Dragons. All Dragons are resistant to elemental damage, the type they are most resistant to is based on their Breath attack. For example, a Dragon that uses Fire is more resistant to Fire than it is to the other two elements, Dragons that use Frost are more resistant to Frost than they are to other elements. So, just because you are using lightning, does not guarantee maximum damage output.
@@SakuragiSayo Right but its better than frost, and then fire because it damages magica so very useful against mages too
@@Narco.Trafficante
I prefer Frost. It is equally powerful as the other two, unless you are a Vampire, then Frost spells are 30% (or more), stronger than both of the other two elements. Frost also depletes stamina, which is more useful than depleting Magica since most enemies you fight and encounter use melee weapons and do lots of power attacks. Deplete their stamina in addition to their health, they can't really do anything other than basic attacks, which do not hurt very much, nor do they stagger.
@@SakuragiSayo Unless they're a nord, frost troll, frost dragon or anything else. I dont care for depleting stamina since i block thoroughly and counter when i stagger opponent's or disarm them with a bash, but with mages thats out of the question when they keep their distance until their magica is depleted. Frost can slow them down but im more of a shock kind of guy.
You can also wear Dukaan to boost frost damage even further.
Fudgemuppet: what is the strongest weapon we could create today...
Me: fork and a knife.
You can make the chaos enchantment do more damage if you get the aspect of terror perk in the illusion skill tree, the perk makes fear spells work on higher level people and it also boosts the damage of fire spells or enchantments because fire spells count as fear spells, I think it raises the damage of fire spells by 10 points so it should make the fire, frost, and shock do 10 more points of damage in the chaos enchantment
Boosting your weapons to insane levels can backfire in the most spectacular way vs the Ebony Warrior.
Using the Alchemy > Enchanting loop as a Necromage Vampire I'm able to get my fortify enchanting potions to a max of 49%, and using that I followed the steps here.
Now my sword does over 1000 damage as I have 3 Fortify One-Handed items on me; not sure of the damage enchantment to the sword, but that's not important.
Because my sword is so strong, when facing the Ebony Warrior, his Reflect Blows perk often means that I end up killing myself as the damage is reflected to me. That means that in order to survive that, I'd need more than 1000 health so it's pretty insane.
Fun small glitch you can do to push that damage just a smidgen further! Get restoration perk, the one that does 30% more damage to undead. Only after becoming a vampire from the dawn guard DLC. The game considers you undead and will boost all magic you preform by 30% including enchantments!
Chaos Enchantment is my favorite in the game. Discovered with my thief character profile long ago and every Bow and dagger set she has has at least that one on it and her stronger weapons to her current load out has dual enchantments of Chaos and Paralyze so I can sneak up on people and stun them and kill them if they happen to take more than one strike.
you forgot to use the frost dragon mask which gives even more cold damage
I am in awe you create a whole Dovahkiin just for one video! Just shows the effort put into these vids. Great job!
called a command line love
@@torikipitt750 🤣
I was just thinking of this video today, so I came back to watch it again. Stahlrim is always an excellent choice. My favorite.
Fun fact, you can boost this enchantment EVEN FURTHER after the weapon is enchanted by equipping the Dragon Priest mask Duukan, ALSO from the Dragonborn DLC. It increases your frost DMG done by another 25%
"Strongest weapon in the game! Without exploits!"

The comment you have copied is right bellow your comment...
God damn that's gonna be a hell of a hangover 😂
Would the Necromage effect help him get a slight increase to the enchanting if he was a vampire?
This build info would be wild if you put it on a dual wield dagger build. Increasing the amount of hits with the blades is sure to increase the amount of times the chaos enchantment would spark.
Too bad Elemental Fury doesn't work with enchanted weapons, otherwise it would make that OP
@@pancakes8670 I may be wrong, but if one of weapons is not enchanted, it still wil work
I’ve always preferred fire soul trap and flames on a Daedric Warhammer because of the preliminary bonus damage because the targets on fire from fire soul trap, then the flames to bonus damage because they’re already on fire. Then I go all out two handed, heavy armour and magic resistance buffs on my armour, plus the lord stone to further negate pesky mages... we’re looking at over 250 base damage without factoring in weapon enchantments here.
Of course I always name my hammer Letztes Licht, or Last Light. Best part is it doesn’t require DLC!
I suggest a dagger it swings faster than other weapons.
my 454 damage stahlrim sword defies your puny 86 damage
he didn´t skill one handed damage for some reason
Lol my gloves do so much damage u can one hit anything in game , 2 years late but still relevant lol
My winshear defies your puny stahlrim sword
@@karrieanderson2734 my not overpowered put hard work into making 100 blacksmithing 100 enchanting new 754 damage stahlrim sword defies your broken trash
@Irrelevant SkiMask Too bad that i don't need to because it's satire.
I’ve played this game a long time, I’ve NEVER had the patience to get my enchantment and destruction to 100, and I’ve only got my smithing to 100 once.
I usually have smithing, one handed, alteration and sneak to 100 before reaching whiterun... And all of those except smithing are done in the opening scene/escape through the cave.
@@tonysmith3232 bruh how?! Surely you have more interesting/fun things to do. I would die of boredom in the cave.
Wouldn't a stalhrim dagger be the best? Applying those enchantments more often while only taking a slight hit in base damage
the one-handed perk which gives the sword additional critical hit chance makes it stronger than dagger.
Komutan Logar Crit works off base damage. 30% extra base damage, even on the strongest sword, would not make up for applying enchantments like paralyze and chaos damage more often.
oh nvm then i didn't know it was based on base damage
Dual wielding swords is faster though then daggers because of how slow the dagger animation is
Doesnt make any difference if u just 1shot everything
I killed Alduin in one hit with an iron knife
Brennen Warnes did you use the potion effect stacking glitch to smith an OP iron dagger? Because that's what I did lol
Sunfish Gaming how the hell do you do that?
Iyas Al-Talafha well its since been patched (I think) but you could use a potion that increases your alchemy skill, drink it then craft another one etc. until you got an insane alchemy boost. You would then use your insane alchemy buff to craft a potion of smithing (or enchanting), which would make smithed items millions of percent stronger. Then go down to any forge, drink your potion and make any weapon. You now have a brokenly overpowered weapon that one hit kills everything.
Brennen Warnes i killed Alduin in one hit with a fluffy fur gauntlet
I did not
If you want to use a non-Stahlrim base weapon, I can only recommend Chaos + Fiery Soul Trap.
Or if you have the mods I have: Sword of Ancient Tongues with Chaos + Mace of Molag Bal + Dawnbreaker
5k hours and I still have yet to even try my hand at the crafting anything.
When I first reached Skyrim, I felt it very empty. But even after lots of hours while exploring, it seems endless...I M NJOYING IT !
Now make a Legend27 skyrim build with this.
JunkTouch fuck off
Madara Uchiha space your words Maggot
How to make a stronger weapon1. The enchant-alchemy now has a limit (if im wrong then sorry I have SSE unofficial patch)2. Dragonborn dlc Black books3. Notched Pick4. falmer helmet can be used with a circletBonus (kind of) Make an armor set with fortify 1 handedConclusion: I reached a stalrim mace displaying over 130... because it couldnt show 1300
ye i used similar methods to reach weapons with impossibly high stats.
I was honestly expecting a little more than a few hundred damage tbh
i have a fork that hits 1k i got bored.
or you can use the wabbajack
Try this one on for size guys. I *always* go for this item to make for one of the enchantments I'll eventually put on both my bow and my mace. I pick up the Bosmer Faendal in Riverwood as a follower and then go to Ironbind Barrow and kill the Warlord Gathric to get the two black soul gems he has, then kill Salma and Beem-ja with the Steel Battleaxe of Fiery Souls you find in Gathrics throneroom. I then go to Whiterun, learn the dual enchantment from the aformetioned weapon (Fiery Soultrap is two in one: fire damage and soultrap) and make a bow and a mace with this enchantment. I will hunt mudcrabs and scribs (no, that's Morrowind) with these and make money from, and level up making enchanted stuff, and from making potions, the best and quickest to level with being Creep Cluster + Mora Tapinella + Scaly Pholiotia: all of which you can grow at your place, Lakeview Manor, just east of Falkreath.
Just a few weeks, game time, doing this and you'll be able to make the strongest weapon possible which is made using the necromage perk while you're a vampire. I have a Dragonbone Bow (and Mace) that has the Fiery Soultrap and Absorb Health enchantments on it, and with me wielding it (maximum perks in Marksman) I can easily kill dragons with one shot if a pertinent potion is drunk just before I use it: eg. I drink a Fortify Marksman potion I made (Bows do 195% more damage) and my "Vampiric Bow of Fiery Soultrap" (Legendary) which does 916 damage and is valued at 30,000+ septims, will kill the surliest dragon with one shot. The mace is almost as deadly.
0:22 "smiffing"
Been playing this game for a long time, had no idea the destruction perks affected your enchantments, or that the stahlrim weapons would also boost the fire and shock components of the chaos enchantment
Stahlrim might be strong to everyone else but i'll stick to my dragon bone sword thank you
Russian trooper in late game stalhrim with those enchantments will have much more dmg anyway
EMC.Noilent Munarov nice to know i must admit it was powerful went i went to clear the falmers at their ancient temple before i reached 100 smithing
Same I can easily make a sword do 400+ damage and 150+ chaos damage if I have my smithing set of armor on
Many enemies have 50% resistance to frost so it isn't always the best to enchant with frost.
Michael Vazquez I have a 522 Damage War Bone (Dragonbone warhammer) while my Destruction is pretty crap and I haven't been using any DLCs
And it's doing me pretty good, even if it could be tons better if I levelled up the Destruction tree
Also side note: my armour rating is 1675, and I have 102% frost resistance and 52% fire resistance
Feels pretty good even if it's not quite god tier yet.
My favorite weapon I ever made was a dragonbone sword , with life drain , and paralyze enchantments.
What did ya name the sword
@@epitaph4606 I named it Siphon
@@matthewwhite9643 a very fitting and cool name
@@epitaph4606 thanks
You can have way more powerful weapon! I can’t explain all in English but it’s pretty easy (if you have the right ingredients for some potions)
Give it a try! Thanks
Bethesda E3: we are proud to introduce The Elder Scrolls 6: Skyrim 2 Electric Boogaloo
3:35 The Stalhrim Effect, sequel to The Butterfly Effect. Coming to theaters on 6 Suns Height 4E 227.
Ok
You can make it much more powerful with:
alchemy, fortify alchemy and smithing gear, smithing and enchanting potions, the right black book perks, necromage, aspect of terror perk(buffs fire damage), armor of azadal(+ 10 enchanting), fortify weapon tipe damge and some fortify destruction potions for added enchantment buff, fortify weapon damge tipe potion
For added damage use sneak attack dammge and the stongest poison (jarrin root + any damage heath ingredient(combine with fortify alchemy))
Orc race power
Dark brotherhood gloves
For even more damage set difficulty to novice (x3 damage)
I think that is it
I think putting fire or absorb health as second effect is better than frost damage. Yes, stahlrim boosts frost enchantment by 25% but most enemies have frost resitance in this game.
Oh btw you didn't mention the Seeker of Sorcery ability (Sallow Regent black book). It boosts enchanting by 10%.
Because the first enchanment is chaos it will activate that 25% boost for frost enchantments for both. So the magnitude of fire/frost/shock will be the same anyway. So like you said fire and absorb health are good options. Shock is another good contender, because nearly nothing resists it.
I did this with dual wield daggers, it's ridiculous
I like using Keening and Harkon's sword together. Both have absorb all. Not the highest damage, but dual power attacks will drain so much that it will leave just about anything dead, or drained and then dead. Plus, you can use unique weapons with elemental fury for even more speed.
get auriel's shield with that
I'm just imagining that combo in my head and it looks awesome!!
Good bye whoever messes with the dovahkiin
Auriel and Molag bal would be proud
targe of the blooded!! bash n slash
Or make a dagger and lvl your sneaking up do 15x not damage
Joshua Deforge wear dark brotherhood gloves, the double it. You do x30
With 100 sneak. You will one shot everything
I've snuck up on a dragon before and insta killed it like that
xavier valdez proof right there (dragons are a pains in the ass to sneak up on btw)
Oh wow, forgot about daggers and sneaking for a bit.
Never played skyrim before. Why am I watching this
because you should play
You need to come to tamriel
Then you should now
I'm with them. You need to at least try it. You're doing yourself a disservice
RandomSubject you haven’t lived yet
Imho, the most powerful weapon is a wooden sword soaked in troll piss and then baked with dragon farts.
but you are wrong. the most powerful weppon is the W A B B A J A C K. you can turn dragons into sweetrools
Turco949 oh god
Turco949 that’s so random!!!!1!! xD lol!
You forgot to sprinkle in a dash on Harpy menstruation
Nah, man, everyone here is wrong....
You put the Wabbajack through that process OP mentioned, then forcefully pleasure ten Hagravens with it (even if they say no, they'll eventually say yes)...and then you hide it in the Night Mother's coffin for five days (because 5 is the Dark Brotherhood's "sacred" number...also make sure the Keeper doesn't find it)...before proceeding to the last phase.
Which is make Delphine lick every part of the weapon (and I mean to the last cubic FUCKING inch) until she has a mouthgasm (vomiting doesn't count).
You do all that, the Madgod is gonna show up and reach the brink of death with laughter. He'll then help you unlock the Wabbajack's hidden potential, and all of Tamriel with quake with fear.
Children and all others alike will drown themselves in the river before they let you within even nine yards to them with that ungodly horror...
Just an addition to make it stronger. In solsthiem go to White Ridge Barrow and fight your way in until you reach the room with dragon priest and a black book "The Sallow Regent" finish will get three powers. Seeker of Might "Boost smithing 10%", Seeker of Sorcery " Boost Enchanting 10%, Seeker of Shadow " Boost Alchemy 10%". Choose them before smithing, echanting or make potion.
If you playing as a vampire level up restoration get the necromage perk this will boost some your enchantment.
If want some bit of exploit (without unofficial patch). Too boost alchemy get falmer helmet at any circlet enchant the with alchemy. You can wear them at the same time. Additional boost on smithing get some dunmer boots echant it with smithing cause dunmer boots count as chest armor.
With this (additional on the video) you can create 36% enchantment on smithing and alchemy as human/non-vampire. 42% as an Undead/Vampire
Im suprised you didnt start with becoming a vampire and taking necromage. Should be the very first 2 steps.
Some might consider it gamey as necromage was never meant to work with enchanting and stuff like that
Its also patched by the unofficial patch iirc
@@paulliu8502 oh no... and i just started to use the unofficial patch....
@@Maximum7077 Also fixes the Restoration glitch :D
@@JoshSweetvale i only wanted to use the nexromage perk ;:(. it was so good
@@Maximum7077 There are small patches for it on nexus, that disables both Resto loop and Necromage boosting. (I really don't understand why they fixed both of them)
Meanwhile I'm running around with Fortify Enchantment 3000% potions. You know, cause 25% really wasn't doing it for me......
Because when he said "no exploits" he meant "no exploits but"?
Even if it's not on the list, my Master sword from the Nintendo switch version of the game, is my MAIN weapon lol
Yes definitely the hero of hyrule has come to skyrim to help defeat alduin because he got bored after defeating ganon
This is such a fun weapon. Kinda a pain to get all the skills leveled up, but boy is it worth it. I made a sword named Frostbite and a bow named Frostburn, and if you thought stealth archer was busted before, you ain't seen nothing yet. 😂
Also, enchant your gear so desteuction spells cost 100% less and you'll never have to recharge it.
so did your version of Skyrim not come with the Alchemy skill tree to make even stronger Fortify Smithing and Enchanting potions? that seems like a pretty massive oversight if you're going to make a video about crafting the strongest weapon in the game without mods or exploits.
Chris Rigney yeah, OR enchanting Gear to fortify alchemy to make better potions to enchants Gear with fortify smithing + smithing potions. my weapons have ridiculous numbers thanks to that, even without a damage enchant on them.
Chris Rigney Doesn't matter. It's still the strongest in comparison with any other non-crafted weapon, and any more damage is trivial at best. Besides, they verbally mentioned that you could take it even further if you wanted to. No need to nitpick or beat a dead horse.
Liten to the video he actually said that and did it but not for smithing because of time
Also that is using exploits stupid
scebastian its an item in the game anyone can get?
I would most definitely put that on a bow, since my main is a sniper archer.
Hey guys thanks for watching! We just wanted to remind you that this is the strongest weapon without exploits. If you want like a zillion damage you need exploits like the alchemy loop :D ENJOY!!
FudgeMuppet i belive it is possible to do better without exploits
FudgeMuppet you forgot about alchemy with that you can do a lot more damage and in damage alone the mo ace is the best one handed weapon and why not use dedric weapon
François Maspuche no not the exploit but raw damage instead of magic damage is better because dragons and some enemy's are almost completely immune to it
the don't need to use the exploit make some potion making gear make an enchanting bottle enchant the smiting stuff and make a smiting potion
Forgot AoT for boost to fire damage.
So this is it. This is The Throngler
Thanks to the restoration glitch I made an iron sword that instantly kills anything. Even Kaarstag on legendary. I gave it to my younger sister in case she got really stuck.
Some folks prefer playing w/o glitches. My biggest problem with the Resto glitch is that you can pretty much create an OP weapon before you hit level 15. That's nuts and makes the game boring IMO - but to each their own.
You are a good sibling. Thank you
Unless I'm mistaken you're missing something...
The Falmer helmet allows you to wear a circlet as well. You can enchant both items separately for an additional bonus, rather than just wearing one item on your character's head to boost enchanting.
