Skyrim SE | Ebony sword | Sword that becomes stronger with the life of a close person

Skyrim SE | Artifact Ebony Sword |

I saw on SNS that the Daedra artifact “Ebony Sword” of King Daedra “Mephala” is cool and strong. Currently, I own a one-handed sword with the same name, but apart from that, there seems to be a two-handed weapon called the “Ebony sword” that resembles an ancient Japanese sword.

This time, it is a practice of the process to obtain the Daedra artifact “Ebony Sword” and how to strengthen it.

Skyrim SE | Artifact “Ebony Sword”

The sword is cursed to “absorb the extract of life from the enemy. It is strengthened by the blood of betrayal.” Enchantment is an enchantment, and in the world of Skyrim, there are many things that normally fill the soul and obtain the curse effect while consuming that soul.

It is worth mentioning that this “Ebony sword” can be cursed without using the soul.

And the curse effect is “enhanced by the blood of betrayal”, which is a very confusing expression. In short, it seems to be “killing and strengthening familiar NPCs”. Details about this will be introduced later.

Daedra Artif “Ebony Sword” | How to Get

First you need to release the corresponding quest. Although it has not been verified, it seems that the corresponding quest cannot be opened unless the player level is 20 or higher.

Release the quest “Door of Whisper”

① Conversation with Fulda of Banard Mare

Now head to “Bannerd Mare” in “White Run” to free the quest. Banard Mare fast travels to White Run and is at the first end of the alley.

Enter Banard Mare and talk to “Fulda” in the counter at the back.

Please tell me the latest rumors → Did you hear any rumors? If you proceed with the conversation, “Ask about the mysterious children of Balgruff” will be activated. Balgroof is the chief of White Run.

Now that the entrance to the quest is open, head to Balgroof, Chief White Run.

② Conversation with Balgroof, Chief of White Run

Exit Banard Mare and head up the stairs to the right until you reach the entrance to “Dragon’s Reach”, where the chief Balgroof is.

During the day, Balgroof sits on the throne in the back and talks to him. Among the options, there is “There is a problem with your child”, and when you ask, the quest “Door of Whisper” will be released.

Clear the quest “Door of Whisper”

First of all, I will hear about the “whispering door” from Nerkill. It is said that the door cannot be opened by Nerkill.

Let’s head to that door. The door is under the room to the left of the chief Balgroof. If you go down the stairs in the corner of the room and enter through the door on the left front, the door in question is on the far right.

When you stand in front of the door, you need a key to open it, but when you press the unlock button, someone whispers. The Lord of this voice is King Daedra “Mephala”.

I’m going to talk to Nerkill again. This door is special, and it seems that only two people, Balgroof and Farenger, the royal palace magician, can open it.

That means you need to steal the door key from either one.

Steal the door key

Farenger often works alone in his own study, so it’s a good idea to use this to steal from behind in a covert manner.

When I saw the pickpocket site, I tried what would happen. As a result, you can pay a fine and try again, so you don’t need to be too nervous. As you may know, when pickpocketing, the success rate is displayed numerically at the bottom of the screen, so please refer to it.

Open the whispering door

Now that you have successfully stolen the key from Farenger, let’s go open the door. Inside the door, there is a stone wall and floor, and on a long desk there is an “ebony sword” and its notes.

The “ebony sword” is brown overall and is a weapon that feels indescribably bewitching. The blade has a warp only at the tip, and has a linear shape compared to ancient Japanese swords.

Daedra Artif “Ebony Sword” | How to Strengthen

Now that you have successfully obtained the “Ebony Sword”, the problem is the enhancement of the curse ability. As mentioned at the beginning, this weapon will be “strengthened by the lives of close friends”.

The curse effect “absorbing the extract of life from the enemy” means to absorb life from the enemy and convert it into your own life by slashing. In other words, by attacking, in addition to the effect of recovering your own life reduced by damage, you can inflict attack damage + slip damage on the enemy.

The initial absorption value of life is set to 10, and it increases by +4 for every two close friends killed. The maximum value is 30, so it is a mechanism that can be completed with the lives of 10 people.

It’s a horrifying weapon, but when you hear that it’s strong, it’s human work that makes you want to make it.

What is a close person?

Certain NPCs have what is called a relationship rank, which seems to be quantified. At the start of the game, the relationship rank is 0, but it will change to a total of 9 stages of plus or minus 4 depending on various actions.

It should be noted that once it changes to negative, it does not become positive. In this game, various quests will occur in conversation with NPCs, but even if you clear the quests that you use (I want you to get something back or deliver something), it will not be recorded in the history.

It seems that NPCs that generate such quests have a relationship rank. It is an important element to enjoy the world view of the game.

It’s been a long story, but a close friend is an NPC with a “plus relationship rank.” In short, you will kill the NPC whose relationship rank is +1 and strengthen the “Ebony Sword”.

Strengthen the curse effect

Here’s a relatively easy way to strengthen your “ebony sword”. In other words, we will introduce a method that can be killed by increasing the relationship rank to +1.

Target NPCs

NPCs that buy firewood and NPCs that buy cabbage are good candidates. If you buy two or more firewood and cabbage, the relationship rank will be 1 and you will be a “closer”.

Moreover, since it has a low durability value, it does not take time to kill and is the best material for the “ebony sword”. Just devilish thinking.

Killed at a timber factory

There is a place to chop wood in the wood factory, so let’s chop wood first. Firewood can also be used as a monetary policy, so it is a good idea to keep a large amount of firewood.

The weight of firewood cannot be ridiculous, but servants can ignore the weight and carry it without restrictions. There is no way not to use this. Have a large number of followers take it, take out only two when killing, and have the NPC buy it, and you’re ready to go.

First of all, don’t kill all the NPCs that buy firewood, but leave a few for selling firewood.

It’s a real battle!

Now, take out two pieces of firewood from your servant and ask the NPC Gilfre to buy them. It is troublesome to have witnesses, so let’s observe the surroundings carefully and then do it quickly with the “ebony sword”.

Killed on the farm

There are many farms in Skyrim, and there are NPCs who buy cabbage. Compared to a timber factory, it is necessary to pay attention to witnesses, but the ease with which two or more cabbage can be harvested on the spot and sold immediately cannot be ignored.

The problem is witness measures. As one of the countermeasures, it is a strategy to sneak into the house aiming at bedtime at night.

Many farms have guards, so if you unlock them and sneak into your house, you will be caught. It is a method to be prepared to pay a fine, so if you pay money to strengthen the curse, you need to divide it.

Once you’ve paid the fine, all you have to do is kill the sleeping target. NPCs sleeping alone are rare, so let’s kill the companion sleeping next to you as well. If you leave it alive, the prize amount will be charged in that territory, which is troublesome.

That is all for the main content of this time.

What would you do with the “ebony sword”? The true value of any weapon or armor can only be experienced by those who have it.
