Among the unique swords of Skyrim, there’s one that many tend to miss due to its inventive placement. Windshear is a unique scimitar that only the luckiest of players have discovered during their adventures in Skyrim, and due to its powerful effects its absolutely worth getting one’s hands on.
However, since the Windshear appears in a location that isn’t by default in Skyrim, it can only be acquired during or after specific quests and tasks have been completed by the Dragonborn. Players wanting to add the scimitar to their collection should follow these steps to find and pick up Windshear easily.
5 Join The Dark Brotherhood
In order to ever be able to get Windshear, one has to join the Dark Brotherhood. This is fairly straightforward and can be done very early in the game. Head to Windhelm as soon as possible, and break into Aventus Aretino’s house. After killing Grelod the Kind for him and sleeping in any bed for several hours, the quest for joining the guild of assassins will begin.
The Dark Brotherhood quest is fairly long-winded and complex. It will take a while before you will actually reach the quest in question, as it’s the final step in the faction’s quest line. It involves finishing a contract to kill the Emperor of Tamriel himself.
4 Complete Hail Sithis!
After the Falkreath sanctuary is attacked and Astrid’s true nature is revealed, the Night Mother will speak to the Dragonborn again and tell them to finish the contract given by Amaund Motierre. He reveals the Emperor is still in Skyrim onboard a vessel called the Katariah, which is docked nearby Solitude’s docks.
3 Then…
Board the Katariah and kill the Emperor. However, at the final room where the Emperor is found, instead of taking the door on the right that leads the player out on to a ledge from which they can dive into the water and swim away, return inside the ship and head to the main deck.
2 Finally…
Prepare to fight quite a few Imperials here. Once the deck is cleared of enemies, head towards the front mast of the ship. The player can actually walk down this mast. At its very tip, Windshear is located, lodged into the wood of the mast.
If the fight on the deck proves too difficult or the player is out of resources, they can actually return to the Katariah at any later point in the game. The ship will still remain at its position, and the scimitar will be available as well.
1 What The Windshear Does
Windshear is one of the few unique scimitars in the game, which are already rare by definition. This is why so many players consider Windshear to be such a big treasure. That being said, its enchantments aren’t half bad either, depending on the type of build the player is going for.
The Windshear is special because whenever its used to block an attack, it has a 39% chance to paralyze an enemy for a short amount of time. This small window of opportunity can buy the player time to deal tons of damage. Moreover, its actual attack will always stagger an enemy, unless they have a specific perk that counters this. All in all, it’s a fantastic weapon for one-handed builds looking to stun-lock enemies.
