📋 About This Mod
This mod enhances and improves Dawnbreaker's powers, making it truly a formidable daedric weapon against the undead. Dawnbreaker will now affect dragon priests, undead dragons, vampires, and high level undead.
There are two versions of this mod, with three different power levels. Dawnbreaker now causes enemies to burst into hotter and hotter flames with every hit, eventually causing them to explode upon death and release flames and fear to all other undead within a certain radius, as well as causing all undead within that radius to stagger. The chain reaction version of this mod will distribute the explosive spell to other undead in the vicinity causing them to explode like dominoes. (see video)
I created this mod a couple years ago for my wife, who hates zombies. She hates them so much, she refused to play Skyrim because of all the Draugr. So, I had Meridia give her a weapon that would truly strike fear into the hearts of all undead. If you want to try the wife's version, go with the Overpowered file.
Requires Dawnguard DLC. Works in Oldrim, SSE, as well as Skyrim VR.
Will be incompatible with any mod that affects Dawnbreaker's attributes. Compatible with mods that change the way Dawnbreaker looks.

✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 357 endorsements and over 8,000 downloads.
- Makes Dawnbreaker a true undead-slaying monster, perfect for vampire hunters and draugr haters.
- The chain reaction explosions are pure chaos and incredibly satisfying to watch.
⚠️ Cons
- Will conflict with any mod that changes Dawnbreaker's stats or enchantments, so check your load order.
- Requires Dawnguard DLC, so if you don't have it, you're out of luck.
- Last updated in 2018, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or mods.
For Skyrim players who want to turn Dawnbreaker into a devastating anti-undead powerhouse, especially those who hate dealing with draugr and vampires. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who loves Meridia's quest, this mod adds serious punch. Skip if you prefer balanced weapons or don't have Dawnguard.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Choose the Overpowered file if you want the 'wife's version' – it's designed to obliterate undead with minimal effort.
- If you're using other Dawnbreaker mods, load this one after them to ensure its effects take priority.
- In Skyrim VR, test the chain reaction version in a dungeon to see if the explosions cause performance issues.
