I don't think the Ebony Blade was ever meant to be improved at the grindstone. If you read through the book Admonition Against Ebony, the book you'll find sitting right next to the blade in Dragonsreach, the book details that "Not even the hottest fires of the Skyforge could melt it; indeed the coals themselves seemed to cool when it was placed within".
you are right it wasnt a bug but still changed by unoffical patch... I suggesting you to if you seek balance or want lore dont use smithing on this sword. In truth one-handed two-handed wasnt a bug too... it was a kind of hybrid sword that can have very unique and powerfull build. It was very powerfull for people that want to lvl their 2 handed to unlock talents but their main weapon tree is one handed :/
in offical verison it benefits from first perk piece of one handed instead of two handed... as I rembember all other two handed perks benefit it . also more one handed you have more damage it deals too. So damage=one handed Side effects=Two-handed It was perfect for those who wanted to lvl two handed before resetting skill tree was a thing :P Now no doubt its more stronger and effective but it was not supposed to be like this. This sword is two handed sword with one handed speed :D
SurvivormanTC yeah, Greenspring Hollow (I remembered it) or Candlecrush Rock for me. And Candlecrush Rock is usually second Giant camp for me also, as I get Guldun Rock as I make my way round The Throat of the World
I would complain that there's the fact you kill a dragon with some Whiterun Guards and such, but it is odd to get anyone even the Dragonborn to help them out.
I dont think the dragonborn is strange in their world. I mean they can be a bit loud maybe even talk in some weird language from time to time, but nothing too strange
Another way to charge it that in a way is beating Mephala at her own game is to take advantage of people who attack you later on even though you can befriend them beforehand (in combination with the reanimation trick, of course): an example is the Argonian Jaree-Ra and his sister Deeja, who both register for the ebony blade during their quest "Light's Out." That's what I did to power the blade without any extra/unnecessary deaths, meaning I sacrificed effectively nothing and beat Mephala at her own game. (^_^)
There's potentially 9 targets with the other Daedric quests also (one to three less if you don't want to kill Eola and/or her band, one less if you want the Ring of Hircine instead of Saviour's Hide, otherwise even Vigilant Tyranus counts), and quite a few (practically half the targets) if you join the Dark Brotherhood... and seven if you decide to destroy it instead. This way you could potentially even fill up the blade with nothing but evil folks even.
@@Sacremas I would say that would still please Mephala as well. You're still subverting the trust of your victims; their own morality and goals are irrelevant. Nevermind that the Dark Brotherhood are sworn enemies of the Morag Tong, who swear upon Mephala as their patron god.
On my (recent) play through I got targeted by assassins 3 times I hadn’t even done that much yet before the first 2 Needless to say they won’t be living
@@Sacremas Or, just take a follower you don't like to the Ritual Stone. Make sure the Ebony Blade is equipped. Activate the stone and kill said follower. Use the Ritual Stone power and kill said follower again. Wait 24 hours. Use Ritual Stone Power again. Kill follower again. Rinse. Repeat. When you have killed the follower 10 times, you are done. Mephala speaks one last time, basically saying that her blad has reached it's "Full Glory".
It's not supposed to be upgradable. The actual book next to it says it cannot be improved through smithing. The unofficial patch fixes what wasn't supposed to be fixed.
My Hentai Girl ...I can see why. Health Absorb is probably one of the most powerful Enchantment, and since it had such high absorption, I can see how overpowering a player could be, but then again, there are some enemies that are immune to it.
Not only can it not be improved by smithing, it cannot be damaged by any means. To the point that trying to melt it in a fire will just cool down the fire (which is why it can't be improved by smithing).
Nelkir: Nobody would notice if Farengar went missing, I promise you Camelworks' reaction: You little psychopath, go to the naughty corner My reaction: I like your thinking, kid
Not good in the traditional sense. They view her as good because she helped the Chimer(ancestors to Dunmer) defeat invaders, same as Azura and Boethia.
Even if you’re technically a pacifist, the Ebony blade is still pretty powerful. In my case, when you pair it up with Boethiah’s ebony mail, so I’ve kinda got a ‘dark samurai’ gimmick going for my character.
*Quite possibly the best weapon in game once min-maxed.* If used on a vampire, in conjunction with necromage it's health steal is effected like all other enchants. -Also vamp + Necromage + Astronach perk + Atronach stone = 100% spell absorb = spell immunity -Used in conjunction with damage reduction cap armor The necessary min maxing takes very little work, aside from leveling alteration to 100, which is easily accomplished. With *unlimited* 37 hp life steal, while immune to all harmful magic and damage reduction capped at 80% you become quite nearly unkillable using this weapon. The amount of damage you take is negligible given how fast this weapon swings in conjunction with the unlimited health steal which even effects targets who block the actual attack. Even on the highest possible game difficulty and the highest levels possible you become an unstoppable wrecking ball which slaughters everything in your path while maintaining nearly perfect hp. Even as a vampire in daylight conditions. Also of note, even without the resto potion exploit: simply by using alchemic gear to make the best smithing potions you can in conjunction with wearing a set of smithing gear, the damage potential of the ebony blade is quite high even if it will never reach the highest tier other weapons can by virtue of higher base damage. Still, the enchant it provides unlimited use of in conjunction with absolute spell immunity and 80% damage reduction armor cap means you will be nearly incapable of being killed so long as you're thrashing about like a berserker on a bad pcp trip. Oddly enough the ebony blade is remarkably similar to a weapon I got quite by chance in ES3 Morrowind. Early in one of my saves I was exploring the underground area of a city and came across a deadra shrine in the sewer system. the daedra lord just happened to have a deadric dai katana, one of th best melee weapons in the game. Fantastic stroke of luck that just happened to be what he was spawned with when I entered the sewers. I obviously kept the weapon and eventually I did enchant it with life steal. 50-60 hours of gameplay and a couple of xpacks of content later in morrowind I'd already done most of the quests, beat the official storyline as the nerevarine and was doing the various long chain quests. I was at the very end of the priesthood quest where you meet Vivec in the city of Vivec. Now, that was the only time you actually get to meet Vivec in person, a legitimate God... so.... I decided to put a save and find out how powerful he was. Sure enough, I killed him. Using a weapon which the ebony blade is almost identical to in form and function. It was pretty much then I had discovered how OP I'd managed to make my character without really knowing. It's one thing to kill NPCs with a fair amount of ease: it's quite another to kill a God of the Tribunal... That was the last time I played that particular save. Still, gives me a certain amount of nostalgia to use the ebony blade in skyrim. Chopping heads off and seeing that red gleam of hp flood towards me "Ah, this reminds me of that time I killed a God of the tribunal in his own palace of his own city. Good times.... good times."
the unofficial patch shouldn't make it upgradeable, the little paper call admonition against ebony states that the blade cannot be molten or broken so it cannot be sharpened either
Wouldn’t recommend using the glitch to get it before level twenty. The reason is twofold. Reason one, attack power goes down from 19 to 9. Reason two, no longer can be upgraded with sacrifices. Tried it myself, and those are exactly what happened.
To be able to get the quest from Hulga you MUST complete the main story quest line up to Dragon Rising and finish it. Once completed and you are level 20 that is when you can get the rumor from Hulga and get the misc quest.
i have talked to hulda but there's no option "talk bout rumors" and i dont have quest that i should talk to the king, im level 40 rn, ive finished dragon rising. please help
This is amazing, I was just creating a new character for a build with this blade and the imperials were just to chop off my head as I got the notification of this video.. You arrived right on time, Mr. Camel. Well done.. Well done, indeed.
Easier way to charge the Ebony Blade is to make friends with the Orc strongholds and slaughter the Orcs. If you want to stay friends with the Orcs you can pay them off afterwards.
Martin Atze Jensen in wish I knew that sooner, I decided to kill the homeless lady, then resurrect her to kill her again, the hardest part was killing her without getting caught, then dragging her corpse to a safe area to kill her. After that it was the ritual stone ability, and just revive and kill over and over.
@@martinatzejensen6787 Not even if you're afraid of dogs in real life? I picked him out of the list from Elder Scrolls Fandom site. I don't know if it's true for other versions, but the Switch version, the one I have, won't recognize Melka as a target, even though she's listed at the site as such.
If you guys dont want to do the quest, get a wooden plate, and go to the Whispering Door. Then, drop the plate and levitate the plate and press the plate against the door then sprint into the plate and you should get through.
If you have completed the questline for the Storncloak Rebellion, then this changes how the questline for the Ebony Blade is done. Jarl Balgruf is no longer in Dragonsreach, but hear me out. Once you get the questline about Balgruf's children, you can find him imprisoned in Solitude's Blue Palace. Just go inside and to the left of the stairs going up. You will find a staircase going down into a lower floor. This is where you will find Balgruf. He will still move the quest on to the next part, where you will then go speak with Nelkir, who is also in the Blue Palace with his father. Then you have to go to Dragonsreach and find the door. Once you have spoken with the Whispering Lady, you have to go back to Solitude. Speak to Nelkir again, and he will mention there being a key on Balgruf and one on Farengar. Don't bother trying to get the key from his father, as his back will be practically inaccessible for a pickpocket. Instead, go back to Dragonsreach and find Farengar. He is in his usual place at Dragonsreach, either in his enchanting room, stuffing his face in the main hall, or in his bedroom asleep. He is an easy pickpocket, but it makes things easier if you save the game just before attempting. Once you have the key, go back to the door... Door opens, and you get your very own Ebony Blade and a book with no other benefit, but to read and possibly keep as a written memento to put on a bookshelf.
You can rack up the kills when you kill the Dark Brotherhood in the sanctuary when you’re doing the “Destroy the Brotherhood” (I think that’s the name of it) quest and continuously resurrect any of the assassins with the ritual stone.
I used the Ritual Stone to repeatedly raise a peasant who had died in a dragon attack. 100% Ebony Blade and not an innocent drop of blood spilled. That's appropriate in a way, since I betrayed Mephala herself. Anyway, the Ebony Blade is one of my favorite weapons. Its damage is not high, but it basically makes you unkillable so long as you're hitting your enemies with it, and unlike other enchanted weapons, never needs a recharge!
The ebony blade can be useful early to mid game. But once you have absorb health and have crafted your enchanting skill up you can make a much better weapon yourself. The only remaining advantage of the enchant not needing to be recharged is nice but not a big deal.
No some character have special actors like angier of greybeards and dephie of the blades leader there voice actor are in movie you see Christopher Palmer is the voice of the greybeards that helps you
Fun fact: there is a weapon sharing the model with the Ebony Blade. Test Vorpal Sword. It can only be obtained from the Console Comand, and has 10000 base damage, capable of one-shotting everything that lives.
you can give a coin to a beggar and they will consider you a friend, way back when (5 years ago) when i used this weapon i found you could just give them a coin and then kill them - it will charge the balde
Haha I’m replaying with a new character and that’s exactly what I’m doing Their life bar drains pretty quick Also edit: make sure you take off the ebony mail if you’re grinding for friendly npc charges because I think the kill has to come from the ebony blade, but the ebony mail will steal the kill
I just overcame the evil tendacies of the ebony blade and I'm now using it in a much better light. Redefining it into a weapon of eternal peace and infinite strength. It's previous influence is now officially gone. The Ebony Blade is no longer Mephala's. It now belongs to me
"Fixed"? Part of the description of the blade in the book next to it is that it could not be melted it in the Skyforge, so I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be able to upgrade it XD That's like getting a mod that allows you to levitate and saying someone fixed that magic class, in spite of their being lore for why no one uses it lol
Ebony blade is my favorite its the fact its a nodochi or a two handed katana..keep up the pores brah they are pretty entertaining and sometimes very funny
As part of my in game role play: I took the blade, fast traveled to the farthest cold & watery part of the map, and chucked into the ocean. My character also had max & multiple enchanted items, so really what was the point in her bs offer to my lesser god build character
I tend not to play sociopath-esque characters, but I love the idea of a thief or someone snagging the key, opening the door, picking up the blade and after Mephala's just like "Now go kill your friends." they're just like "Nah, but thanks for the sword. It'll look awesome on my wall. Anyway, later bitch!" and just walk out. Hell, I wish there were a conclusion like that for the quest, kinda like there are for the Dagon and Azura quests, and to a bit of a lesser extent, Clavicus Vile's. I mean I'm sure there are a few others that give you the option of pissing off the prince, but I'm yet to play those.
You can power up the blade w/o killing innocents by doing three quests: "Lights Out", "A Taste of Death", and "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood". For Markarth, deliver the dog food for the stable hand (Banning), and retrieve a statue for Lisbet of Arnleif and Sons Trading Co. Proceed as normal for the quests.
*NOTE:* In addition to the level requirement of 20, you also have to progress through the early stages of the Main Quest, basically to the point of being appointed Thane of Whiterun. After that, talk to Hulda. You might have to take a bounty quest before the "rumors" dialogue option becomes available. If you have Creation Club/Anniversary Edition content enabled, you might have to activate some of those as well. "Missing Merchant", "Bones for a Crow", any that require talking to an innkeeper.
Yo! So I can’t get the lady at the bar to bring up the rumor because I already got to a point in the game where you can’t for whatever reason. Tried spamming and no luck for weeks. I have helped stormcloaks take everything over and think that’s what’s wrong or because I’m on the Nintendo switch BUT I STILL FOUND A WAY! Go into Dragonsreach and take 2 plates. Hold one in the CENTER of the doors where the whispering door is. (Won’t be named that because you’re not on the mission) go ahead and shout whirlwind sprint. You’ll get through and you can grab the sword! Now you’re going to have to drop the plate from your inventory. You may notice there’s a dresser floating against the doors in there that says activate whispering door but it won’t do anything. Hold one of those plates up against the middle of that dresser even with your head and do that shout again. Boom, you made it out.
the pun "when he's asleep, take full advantage of him" cracked me up so bad i actually choked on the water and spat em all out onto my lap. wasnt a good experience
what armor mods are you using? I'm not super into the gstring bandit look, its totally not congruent with the lore but some of the others are awesome. :)
If you use a wooden plate through the wall then do the quest you can't pick it up as an obj and it would stop dead, but you can activate a weapon rack and do the objective
So a tip for you guys if you wanna play Skyrim vanilla for any reason and love the Ebony Blade and want to make it strong, you can use the Fortify Restoration Glitch to then make a Fortify Enchanting Potion to thrn make a Ring or a Necklace that fortifies two handed, that will make the sword really good :) I did that on my Vanilla playtrough and use it as a main weapon works wonders on legendary... plus if you wanna make it not to strong or weak in legendar fortify the ring with about 4000% that will need a potion that fortifies enchanting for about 2000% Have a good one :)
I wonder if I can get the ebony blade after I have joined the stormcloaks and Balgruuf isn't my jarl anymore. So can I get it even if Balgruuf isn't my jarl anymore?
That is very unique.....................Unique

I don't think the Ebony Blade was ever meant to be improved at the grindstone. If you read through the book Admonition Against Ebony, the book you'll find sitting right next to the blade in Dragonsreach, the book details that "Not even the hottest fires of the Skyforge could melt it; indeed the coals themselves seemed to cool when it was placed within".
you are right it wasnt a bug but still changed by unoffical patch... I suggesting you to if you seek balance or want lore dont use smithing on this sword.
In truth one-handed two-handed wasnt a bug too... it was a kind of hybrid sword that can have very unique and powerfull build. It was very powerfull for people that want to lvl their 2 handed to unlock talents but their main weapon tree is one handed :/
+makaramuss So, which skill tree did/does it benefits from, then?
in offical verison it benefits from first perk piece of one handed instead of two handed... as I rembember all other two handed perks benefit it . also more one handed you have more damage it deals too.
So damage=one handed
Side effects=Two-handed
It was perfect for those who wanted to lvl two handed before resetting skill tree was a thing :P Now no doubt its more stronger and effective but it was not supposed to be like this.
This sword is two handed sword with one handed speed :D
makaramuss So, I'll have to invest in two weapon skill trees to use it? That's a fail...an oversight.
if you dont want to you can allways buy a ebony sword with life drain when you got enought lvl right? it was unique and fun

After that it was the ritual stone ability, and just revive and kill over and over.
Thanks, pal. May the slaughter commence.
Nah, just get the ritual stone, then kill Meeko the dog ten times, it's what I did.
@@whitewolf3051 You don't kill Meeko. You never kill Meeko.
@@martinatzejensen6787 Not even if you're afraid of dogs in real life? I picked him out of the list from Elder Scrolls Fandom site. I don't know if it's true for other versions, but the Switch version, the one I have, won't recognize Melka as a target, even though she's listed at the site as such.
If you guys dont want to do the quest, get a wooden plate, and go to the Whispering Door. Then, drop the plate and levitate the plate and press the plate against the door then sprint into the plate and you should get through.
Are you trolling or being serious i dont want to try this and then be dissapointed
Nah it's a walk through walls glitch you can use a bowl and whirlwind sprint to do it too. Just remember to bring extra plates or you'll get stuck
Only one problem. That's not playing the game though.
Rob Evans some people just want to get the good shit with out waiting i dont do this but there's nothing wrong with it
or just open the console, type in tcl and noclip into it you plebs
Sidenote: some NPCs that you kill to charge the blade will yield unique dialogue from Mephala
Oh? Name the NPCs who causes the dialogue to be unique, killing Meeko the dog didn't change it.
If you have completed the questline for the Storncloak Rebellion, then this changes how the questline for the Ebony Blade is done. Jarl Balgruf is no longer in Dragonsreach, but hear me out. Once you get the questline about Balgruf's children, you can find him imprisoned in Solitude's Blue Palace. Just go inside and to the left of the stairs going up. You will find a staircase going down into a lower floor. This is where you will find Balgruf. He will still move the quest on to the next part, where you will then go speak with Nelkir, who is also in the Blue Palace with his father. Then you have to go to Dragonsreach and find the door. Once you have spoken with the Whispering Lady, you have to go back to Solitude. Speak to Nelkir again, and he will mention there being a key on Balgruf and one on Farengar. Don't bother trying to get the key from his father, as his back will be practically inaccessible for a pickpocket. Instead, go back to Dragonsreach and find Farengar. He is in his usual place at Dragonsreach, either in his enchanting room, stuffing his face in the main hall, or in his bedroom asleep. He is an easy pickpocket, but it makes things easier if you save the game just before attempting. Once you have the key, go back to the door... Door opens, and you get your very own Ebony Blade and a book with no other benefit, but to read and possibly keep as a written memento to put on a bookshelf.
You can rack up the kills when you kill the Dark Brotherhood in the sanctuary when you’re doing the “Destroy the Brotherhood” (I think that’s the name of it) quest and continuously resurrect any of the assassins with the ritual stone.
Just imagine you're friends with the dragon born, and he just keeps killing you over and over.
Little Brat: places where you can over hear things Me: Oh you mean that talking bed stand
I play a one handed build but I recently aquired the ebony blade and I find it to be a pretty good and fun weapon
6:15 "The easiest way to do this is to wait until He is asleep and then take full advantage of Him..."
*"F.B.I OPEN UPPP!!!"*
It's vengeance for what he did to Odahving
I used the Ritual Stone to repeatedly raise a peasant who had died in a dragon attack. 100% Ebony Blade and not an innocent drop of blood spilled. That's appropriate in a way, since I betrayed Mephala herself. Anyway, the Ebony Blade is one of my favorite weapons. Its damage is not high, but it basically makes you unkillable so long as you're hitting your enemies with it, and unlike other enchanted weapons, never needs a recharge!
The ebony blade can be useful early to mid game. But once you have absorb health and have crafted your enchanting skill up you can make a much better weapon yourself. The only remaining advantage of the enchant not needing to be recharged is nice but not a big deal.
Did they only have 4 actors voice the entirety of Skyrim?
Yes
Pretty much
James Daly they actually have 80
No some character have special actors like angier of greybeards and dephie of the blades leader there voice actor are in movie you see Christopher Palmer is the voice of the greybeards that helps you
Ysolda's VA voices like half the woman lol
Damn this video was recommended to me after years of playing Skyrim 😭😭😭 the memories it holds just make me want to cry its really hearwarming 😭😭😢
Bethesda really went cheap on these daedric princes voices, mephala's voice is lydia's, meridia and boethia share the same voice as well.
True but something as important as daedric princes should not have common voices.
Omega Naricisus You clearly haven't played oblivion then..
Skyrim only has 20 voice actors I think
ItsZeno actually they had about 80 voice actorss
martianoverlord wants1000subs Oblivion had like 12 voice actors
Fun fact: there is a weapon sharing the model with the Ebony Blade.
Test Vorpal Sword. It can only be obtained from the Console Comand, and has 10000 base damage, capable of one-shotting everything that lives.
wth did your texture pack do to balgruf
crazymammoth ikr wtf
LMAO
Hahahahaha
Looks good with Nightingale Armor and so does Mehrunes Razor
I have the ebony mail, now I have what what I need to be complete.
Thanks for everything.
0:09 that was perfectly synced
you can give a coin to a beggar and they will consider you a friend, way back when (5 years ago) when i used this weapon i found you could just give them a coin and then kill them - it will charge the balde
You can also use a beggar as a sacrifice. Once you've given him enough gold.
1
1 gold
you bought his soul for 1 gold
There's also the Meeko the dog.
@@whitewolf3051 bruh
@@inferno009 What?! What's wrong with killing Meeko, especially if you don't like dogs like me?
Ebony blade and ebony chainmail together makes you godly
Haha I’m replaying with a new character and that’s exactly what I’m doing
Their life bar drains pretty quick
Also edit: make sure you take off the ebony mail if you’re grinding for friendly npc charges because I think the kill has to come from the ebony blade, but the ebony mail will steal the kill
I just overcame the evil tendacies of the ebony blade and I'm now using it in a much better light. Redefining it into a weapon of eternal peace and infinite strength. It's previous influence is now officially gone. The Ebony Blade is no longer Mephala's. It now belongs to me
I love watching you and Fudgemuppet work off each other. I hope you could eventually do some work with Gamer Poet as well, that would be amazing.
I love how you and fudgemuppet pretty much work together lol
"Fixed"? Part of the description of the blade in the book next to it is that it could not be melted it in the Skyforge, so I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to be able to upgrade it XD
That's like getting a mod that allows you to levitate and saying someone fixed that magic class, in spite of their being lore for why no one uses it lol
Play Morrowind then you'll know why theres no levitating
Ebony blade is my favorite its the fact its a nodochi or a two handed katana..keep up the pores brah they are pretty entertaining and sometimes very funny
As part of my in game role play: I took the blade, fast traveled to the farthest cold & watery part of the map, and chucked into the ocean.
My character also had max & multiple enchanted items, so really what was the point in her bs offer to my lesser god build character
Leonardo Huizar i mean. You kinda wasted your time didn’t you?
I tend not to play sociopath-esque characters, but I love the idea of a thief or someone snagging the key, opening the door, picking up the blade and after Mephala's just like "Now go kill your friends." they're just like "Nah, but thanks for the sword. It'll look awesome on my wall. Anyway, later bitch!" and just walk out. Hell, I wish there were a conclusion like that for the quest, kinda like there are for the Dagon and Azura quests, and to a bit of a lesser extent, Clavicus Vile's. I mean I'm sure there are a few others that give you the option of pissing off the prince, but I'm yet to play those.
Then there really was no point then was there?
LeoHwzr and ur telling us this because?...
NeCROWmancer you can Attempt to Piss off that Hunter one when he sends you to kill sinding but even if you dont kill sinding he is still proud of you
You can power up the blade w/o killing innocents by doing three quests: "Lights Out", "A Taste of Death", and "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood". For Markarth, deliver the dog food for the stable hand (Banning), and retrieve a statue for Lisbet of Arnleif and Sons Trading Co. Proceed as normal for the quests.
Naming your kid Nelkir is a recipe for disaster.
*NOTE:* In addition to the level requirement of 20, you also have to progress through the early stages of the Main Quest, basically to the point of being appointed Thane of Whiterun.
After that, talk to Hulda. You might have to take a bounty quest before the "rumors" dialogue option becomes available. If you have Creation Club/Anniversary Edition content enabled, you might have to activate some of those as well. "Missing Merchant", "Bones for a Crow", any that require talking to an innkeeper.
The benefit from the wrong weapon type have been fixed in the OFFICIAL patch too.
Fun fact:if you glitch through the door it's just a bedside cabinet there
Despite this weapon being my favourite, I've always found it to be too OP
BloodBathGaming Guy then don't kill friendly npc
What do you mean? I'm talking about when you get the weapon to full Strength
BloodBathGaming Guy so what do you expect from Daedric Artifact?
In Skyrim the deadric artifacts were incredibly underpowered. So you do the math and tell me what I expect
BloodBathGaming Guy there is a mod on PC and Xbox that makes them way better
One of the best weapons in the game and definitely one of my favorites. Super long time to make it powerful at it's max potential though
Not really. Kill a follower, resurrection with one of the stone powers, rest a day, repeat.
I found it randomly and quite early on my first playthrough. Used this as my primary.
How
The weapon is wonderful early game especially for its lifesteal effect but the damage later on just sucks
Maybe try using the ebony mail armor with the blade you will see a difference
0:27 ik it’s meant to be a bad pun but I always hear it as him calling us a neek
so it pretty much does 41 damage with a level one two handed skill?
And heals you for 30. Also it's faster than any other 2-handed weapon, so it has higher dps than most.
WTF?! Mine does 15pts damage and steals 100pts health! (playing on Xbox360!!)
What's the best level to decide and get the weapon? I wanna make sure I don't get the low-level version. Is it level 46?
@@beanoaustins8100 Level 20.

Just added the ebony blade to my samurai build. Its badass
well... from 8:45 -9:30... sounds like someone is using Mephala's vibrator
Oh lord lol
😂😂
Lmao
I love this blade. Reminds me of Sephiroth’s sword from FF
For me it was easy my character was an orc I just went and killed two to three orc fortresses was kinda fun...
Every time we hear something from NPCs they tell us "Don't go there" and instantly we have a quest marker telling us to "Go there"
You can make a samurai build in Skyrim would that sword and also me too cuz I play Skyrim
0:08 - 0:15 probably the worst way to fall to the ground after having your head cut off
I'm gonna need to know that mod for the bandits for research purposes
Yo! So I can’t get the lady at the bar to bring up the rumor because I already got to a point in the game where you can’t for whatever reason. Tried spamming and no luck for weeks. I have helped stormcloaks take everything over and think that’s what’s wrong or because I’m on the Nintendo switch BUT I STILL FOUND A WAY! Go into Dragonsreach and take 2 plates. Hold one in the CENTER of the doors where the whispering door is. (Won’t be named that because you’re not on the mission) go ahead and shout whirlwind sprint. You’ll get through and you can grab the sword! Now you’re going to have to drop the plate from your inventory. You may notice there’s a dresser floating against the doors in there that says activate whispering door but it won’t do anything. Hold one of those plates up against the middle of that dresser even with your head and do that shout again. Boom, you made it out.
Whispering Lady is a box literally a box
the pun "when he's asleep, take full advantage of him" cracked me up so bad i actually choked on the water and spat em all out onto my lap. wasnt a good experience
"You little psychopath go to the naughty corner" meanwhile the little boy like - 😈😈😈
🚪🗝🕴🏾
Looks very badass with the nightingale armor.
what armor mods are you using? I'm not super into the gstring bandit look, its totally not congruent with the lore but some of the others are awesome. :)
I think skimpy armors
Best two handed weapon, meta in any tanky class
what mod do you sure to make the game look soo good?
If you use a wooden plate through the wall then do the quest you can't pick it up as an obj and it would stop dead, but you can activate a weapon rack and do the objective
I can confirm that this quest can still be obtained even if Balgruuf is not Jarl!
How
So a tip for you guys if you wanna play Skyrim vanilla for any reason and love the Ebony Blade and want to make it strong, you can use the Fortify Restoration Glitch to then make a Fortify Enchanting Potion to thrn make a Ring or a Necklace that fortifies two handed, that will make the sword really good :) I did that on my Vanilla playtrough and use it as a main weapon works wonders on legendary... plus if you wanna make it not to strong or weak in legendar fortify the ring with about 4000% that will need a potion that fortifies enchanting for about 2000% Have a good one :)
unique spelled wrong @ title
It also counts NPCs who have been deceiving their holds, not just peeps who consider your character as a friend
Does it matter if I did the stormcloak quest will it affect this quest?
nahh
As you'll have to talk to Jarl Ballin, sorry, Balgruuf, in Blue Palace (Solitude) instead of Dragonsreach (Whiterun), it doesn't affect your quest.
Now I know how to charge the Ebony Blade in a much faster fashion. Thank You!
Why is the whispering ladies voice so hot
Haha
I'm super super incredibly late to the party on this one but...
HOLY F#@KING SHIT IS THIS THING OP!!
The ebony blade is the most op weapon in the game hand down.
There is a secret cut version of this weapon that attacking a person with it doesn't count as assault.
are you getting one handed executions with the Ebony Blade wtf
Looks like he’s using a mod that changes killcams
"You little psychopath. Go into the naughty corner."
I wonder can you sacrifice those Forsworn from "The Forsworn Conspiracy" who are later found in a cave and are still friendly(not hostile) with you.
You should read the journal it says it’s a really really bad sword I mean it’s really good but I mean it’s saying that it’s a corrupt blade
liking my own comment 6yrs later lmao
I wonder if I can get the ebony blade after I have joined the stormcloaks and Balgruuf isn't my jarl anymore. So can I get it even if Balgruuf isn't my jarl anymore?
Sith Lord Lars that is indeed a very interesting question
Sith Lord Lars Yes you can you just have to pickpocket him in the blue palace where he resides
Aaron Trott thx!
