📋 About This Mod
! PLS READ THE IMPORTANT NOTE IN THE END OF THE DESCRIPTION !
Adds Leviathan Axe in 4 versions to the game (1h,2h with frost effect and both types without enchantment)
Craftable at the forge, I created the model and textures myself from scratch - it's not ripped.
Installation:
Extract textures and meshes folder & Ghosu - Leviathan.esp to your Skyrim data directory.
The folder-structure should look like:
... Skyrim\data\textures\weapons\Ghosu\Leviathan\ ALL DDS FILES
... Skyrim\data\meshes\weapons\Ghosu\Leviathan\ ALL NIF FILES
... Skyrim\data\Ghosu - Leviathan.esp
Make sure that the plugin is activated in Skyrim Launcher | DATA FILES (should be by default)
The axr is craftable in the forge-menu among iron category, you can upgrade it as well.
If you want to add it using the console (key ^), enter:
help Leviathan
remember the displayed XXXXXXXX code and enter:
player.additem XXXXXXXX 1
To uninstall the mod just delete the extracted files.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This mod "ONLY" comes with the axe and contains no throw or return to player game mechanic or effects like you experience in GOW. No other weapons, no armor, no quest, no follower... I'm not returning to modding, just here for a short visit to model that axe by request. Adding such effects would take too long, currently I'm busy working on other projects - so there is no time left for modding and that won't change in the near future. So I won't add stuff. Atm I'm planning to make this mod free to use after some weeks, so someone else might pick it up and add such mechanics. Btw: some users replied that it works with S:SE as well.
Thx & have fun,
Adds the Leviathan Axe from God of War to Skyrim in four craftable versions: one-handed and two-handed, each with or without a frost enchantment. The model and textures are original creations by the author, not ripped assets. A popular weapon mod with over 1,900 endorsements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,904 endorsements and over 50k downloads—clearly a well-loved weapon mod.
- Four variants give you flexibility: go full Kratos with the frost enchantment or keep it simple with a plain version.
- Hand-crafted original assets mean no ripped content, so it's safe for modding ethics and often more polished.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or other mods.
- Only craftable at a forge with iron, so you'll need to invest in smithing to get it early.
- No mention of special effects beyond frost, so if you're expecting the axe's recall mechanic, it's not here.
For God of War fans who want to wield the Leviathan Axe in Skyrim without worrying about ripped assets. Also for players who enjoy crafting their gear and want a solid, lore-friendly-ish weapon with a frosty twist. Skip if you're looking for complex mechanics or quest integration—this is a straightforward weapon add-on.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the required smithing perk to craft at a forge—iron ingots are easy to come by, but you'll need the perk.
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate; if manual, drop the files into your Data folder and enable the .esp in your load order.
- Since the mod is from 2018, check if you're on Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition—you might need to convert the mod or use a compatibility patch.
