... Simple, scary and in the right hands, or should we say, in a strong enough arm, the massive iron blade of this ultra greatsword is a killing tool to be reckoned with. Made out of a easy to work material, the design for this weapon was made to just cleave through its targets with ease, even the toughest armor or broad shield will face deep trouble when facing this.
Not as hard as steel, but strong enough to get the job done.
The Iron Ultra Greatsword can be crafted at any forge, and will begin to spawn around the world and foes via leved lists at Level 5.
There is also some exemplars of the weapon hand placed around the map.
The weapon swings slower than all greatswords, has very high damage, slightly better critical damage and also slightly higher stagger.
Its also very heavy.
Unique variant: Scorcher
Scorcher is a unique variant that can be collected when exploring the world. Burned by the fires of Oblivion, the weapon has now a burned appearence and an everlasting ember burning in its blade.
When equipped, grants you an passive ability called "Embers of Oblivion" which bestows you 20% fire resistance and burns your foes in every hit for no enchantment cost at all, its fire damage increase as your Destruction skill progresses. See more below:
Destruction level less than 20: 10 fire damage per second for 2 seconds.
Destruction level between 20 and 40: 20 fire damage per second for 2 seconds.
Destruction level between 40 and 60: 30 fire damage per second for 2 seconds.
Destruction level between 60 and 80: 40 fire damage per second for 2 seconds.
Destruction level between 80 and 100: 50 fire damage per second for 2 seconds.
Destruction level at or above 100: 60 fire damage per second for 2 seconds.
Scorcher can NOT be enchanted due to how its effects work.
Travelers and scouts from Winterhold and Eastmarch have previously reported a crew of bandits attacking citizens and caravans on the surroundings, among them, an vicious orc was seen carrying a 'fiery" massive greatsword, report also says that they are probably making camp on the coast at an old ship wreckage.
