📋 About This Mod

Adds 12 glaives (bladed polearm weapons) to the game. Featuring vanilla aesthetics. Complete with crafting recipes and leveled list.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Glaive Danger adds craftable two-handed glaives to Skyrim, originally designed for VR horseback combat. These weapons offer 1.5x the reach of a greatsword, use vanilla assets, and are compatible with both VR and flat-screen play. Includes three world-placed glaives and an optional Animated Armory patch for pike animations.

✨ Key Features

Adds craftable and temperable glaives in major material types, with damage matching greatswords but greater reach.
Glaives use vanilla mesh assets and texture paths, so vanilla retextures apply to them.
Includes three world-placed glaives: an iron glaive in Embershard Mine, a steel glaive at White River Watch, and a unique glaive with a clue in Sleeping Giant Inn.
Optional Animated Armory patch makes glaives use pike animations.
Compatible with both VR and flat-screen Skyrim.
Based on LeanWolf's Better Shaped Weapons for improved visuals.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Great for VR players who want effective melee from horseback—these glaives have 1.5x the reach of a greatsword.
  • Uses vanilla assets and textures, so they blend seamlessly and work with any retexture mods you already have.
  • Solid community support with 154 endorsements and over 7,600 downloads.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only greatsword damage—if you're looking for a damage boost, this isn't it, just reach.
  • The unique glaive is hidden behind a clue, so you'll have to explore to find it—not for those who want everything handed to them.
  • Potential compatibility issues with mods that alter greatsword animations or weapon reach, since it relies on those systems.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim VR players who want a more effective melee option on horseback, or flat-screen players who enjoy polearm-style combat with a twist. Also great for collectors who like hunting down unique weapons. Skip if you want high-damage weapons or aren't interested in reach-based combat.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 5 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using the Animated Armory patch, make sure to load it after the main mod and after Animated Armory itself.
  • The glaives use greatsword animations by default, so they'll feel familiar—try the pike animations if you want a different feel.
  • Look for the clue in Sleeping Giant Inn to start your hunt for the unique glaive—it's a fun little quest.
