Skull Crusher is a warhammer from Morrowind that hits like a truck but weighs surprisingly little. The Ghosts of the Tribunal Creation adds it to the Tribunal armory at Ashfall’s Tear on Solstheim.
How to get it
Complete the three tasks of the Ghosts of the Tribunal quest to open the armory room at Ashfall’s Tear (in the Raven Rock region). It is in a display case with Light of Day and Magebane.
Enchantment
Does 30 points of stamina damage per hit. Enemies without stamina can’t power attack or block well, so you keep control of the fight.
Stats and handling
28 base damage at a weight of only 15. A Daedric Warhammer deals 27 and weighs 31, so Skull Crusher hits harder at half the weight. It uses the Two-handed skill.
Smithing
Improve it with a
Steel Ingot. It needs Arcane Blacksmith, and Steel Smithing doubles the improvement.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Strength: top warhammer damage at a very low weight.
- Strength: cheap steel tempering.
- Weakness: stamina damage is less flashy than elemental damage.
Tips
- One of the best two-handers for players who carry a lot of loot.
- According to UESP, the armory weapons respawn, so you can come back for another copy.
