About:

The Godswords of Gielinor are a collection of two-handed swords based on the Zamorak, Saradomin, Bandos & Armadyl Godswords from Runescape. Ever since I had made the Saradomin Godsword back in 2013, I have been asked to create the others but never got around to it. During that time, Jagex, the owners of Runescape updated the models of the swords to give them unique appearances. Many fans of Runescape prefer the older versions and some like the newer ones, so I decided to make both sets for people to enjoy.

Each model has unique textures and comes in 4k, 2k and 1k Resolutions. Appearance varies based on ENB Preset & Game Settings. You don't have to like Runescape to use them!

What this mod includes:

Zamorak Godswords

Successful Power Attacks have a 100% chance to trigger Ice Cleave, which freezes multiple Enemies solid for 10 seconds.

Saradomin Godswords

Successful Power Attacks have a 100% chance to trigger Healing Blade, which restores 75 Health to the Player.

Bandos Godswords

Successful Power Attacks have a 20% chance to trigger Warstrike, which for 25 seconds increases damage by 100% and reduces the Armor Rating of Enemies.

Armadyl Godswords

Regular Attacks have a 5% chance to trigger Armadyl's Judgement, which for 10 seconds Increases Attack & Attack Speed by 50%.

Each sword has a base stat of 25, which is +1 higher than Daedric. They can be tempered at the Grindstone and upgraded to the newer model under the Steel Category of the Forge. They can also be changed back into the preview model by re-smithing.

Do NOT optimize the textures! Some maps are purposely uncompressed!

Obtaining:

To the North of Whiterun is a place called Whitewatch Tower. Within the grounds of this area is a trap door, which leads to Gielinor's Tomb. You will need to navigate through the short tomb of Gielinor and solve a minor puzzle or two. A few enemies may stand in your way. Take Lydia, she'll look after you :)
