And in this article, we will rank the 5 Best Longswords in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
Best 5 Longswords in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
Longswords are iconic. They have been heavily featured in many fantasy games, movies, and other media. A sword might be the most recognizable weapon when the topic is fantasy or ancient times. And a longsword is even more elegant and deadly than its normal counterpart. Thankfully, Oblivion Remastered features many Longswords with different tiers and levels. Some of them also come with enhancements and perks. Below, we have ranked the 5 Best Longswords in Oblivion Remastered according to us.
5. Thornblade
The Thornblade is the first longsword in our list. In Oblivion Remastered, this particular weapon comes with an enchantment that allows it to disintegrate the armor of enemies. It is quite a powerful buff to have and that’s why it is not easy to find this Longsword. To acquire the Thornblade, players will have to go to Cheydinhal and speak with the count there. Then, the count will tell you that his son has entered an Oblivion Gate. After that, you have to track this count’s son, Farwil, and bring him back from the Oblivion Gate alive.
However, it is not as easy as it sounds, because Farwil will keep charging at the enemy, so you will have to protect him from them while you deal with your fair share of foes. Below, we have provided a short summary of everything related to this blade.
- Base attack: 11-24
- Enchantment: Disintegrates Armor for 25-120 points
- How to Acquire: Complete “The Wayward Knight” sidequest
4. Dawnfang/Duskfang
In the original Elder Scrolls IV, the Shivering Isles was a post-launch DLC. However, players can access it at any point in time in Oblivion Remastered. The Dawnfang/Duskfang is one of the best longswords in the Shivering Isles. It is an interesting blade because it deals with different kinds of damage during the day and the night. This longsword can deal both fire and frost damage, depending on its form.
However, many would argue that the Nourish blade is its best effect. This particular effect will keep track of the enemies you kill with the blade and then empower it once your kill count hits 12. Furthermore, Dawnfang will absorb health during the day while Duskfang will absorb Magicka during the night. Check out the summer below for a better understanding:
- Base Attack: 7-25
- Enchantment: Fire or Frost
- How to Acquire: Complete the “Baiting The Trap” quest in the Shivering Isles DLC
3. Umbra Sword
The Umbra Sword is our third pick. It is a Daedric longsword. Players can get their hands on this sword by defeating and looting Umbra in the Calvicus Vile’s Shrine quest. Some might argue that the Soul Trap enchantment is not powerful or effective enough, but it is a great way of charging enchanted weapons. However, there is a catch.
If you want to wield the Umbra Sword, you will have to complete Calvicus Vile’s Shrine quest. But players below level 20 won’t be able to access this mission. Other than that, the Umbra Sword has great base damage, and it remains at the top tiers of longsword in Oblivion Remastered. Below is the summary:
- Base Attack: 28
- Enchantment: Soul Trap for 120 seconds
- How to Acquire: Defeat Umbra in the “Calvicus Vile’s Shrine” quest
2. Sword of The Crusader
The Knights of the Nine is one of the longest questlines in Oblivion Remastered. However, you might find it worth doing since you get the Sword of the Crusader as one of the rewards. It is considered to be among the strongest longswords in the game. This particular sword’s enchantment can be quite useful to you in the mid or later stages of the game. Additionally, you can recharge the Relics of the Nine or level them with your character by placing them on the stand in the Priory of the Nine.
- Base Attack: 13 – 25
- Enchantment: Fire Damage 2 – 14 points for 2 seconds, damage Magicka 7-40 points
- How to Acquire: Finish “The Sword of The Crusader”
The Madness Sword
The Madness Sword is an ideal choice for players who are looking for a primary weapon at the highest level. You can easily interact with a blacksmith named Cutter in the Crucible, and he will forge this longsword for you. The Crucible is located in the Shivering Isles. However, for this blade, you will need madness ore and Madness Matrix. Furthermore, if you forge this weapon after you have reached level 25 or higher then the enchantment will allow you to deliver 20 points of damage mixed with the sword’s base damage stat. This makes it a deadly weapon in Oblivion Remastered. Following is the summary:
- Base Attack: 11-25
- Enchantment: Damage Health 2-20 Points
- How to Acquire: Cutter can forge it in the Shivering Isles.
