📋 About This Mod
I really wanted a cool lightning themed sword in the game but was sad when I couldn't find any, so I just made one :P. Tried to blend it in with lore by taking some inspiration from Ansur the badass lightning dragon. My first attempt at making a mod pls be patient if there are any issues!!
You can find the sword in the Mindflayer tutorial chest and by killing Ansur. If you've already looted the chest and/or looted Ansur after killing him and don't want to use the script extender you'll need the Tutorial Chest Summoning mod since I haven't implemented a way to summon the sword myself.
Note - I've noticed the animation for Lightning Strike sometimes doesn't work properly when first using after loading a save but works after that first time. UPDATE: Using Lightning Strike on a save then reloading that save will remove this issue! This is more of a game issue than the mod itself so there is no real fix yet :(
UUID for the sword for those who need it: d265fefe-d060-47bb-abf0-724ef57ff0ad.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement-to-download ratio (377 endorsements, 14k downloads) shows it's well-liked.
- Adds a legendary weapon with unique lightning theme, perfect for storm-themed builds.
- Last updated in 2023, so it's relatively recent for BG3 modding.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is thin—no details on how to obtain the sword or exact stats.
- Only one weapon, so if you're looking for a full weapon pack, this isn't it.
- No compatibility notes, so may conflict with other mods that alter loot tables.
For BG3 players who want a flashy legendary lightning sword for their melee or paladin build. If you're into storm-themed characters or just want a cool new weapon, this is for you. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly or balanced additions—this is a legendary with custom abilities.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod page for the exact location or spawn method, as the description doesn't say.
- If you're using other mods that add items, consider using a mod manager to avoid conflicts.
- Since it's a legendary, it might be overpowered early game—use it on a higher difficulty if you want a challenge.
