Nerveshatter

An amber-and-madness warhammer from Saints & Seducers that you forge yourself.

Nerveshatter is a warhammer from Shivering Isles, the realm of Sheogorath. In the Saints & Seducers Creation you forge it yourself, using the strange materials of the Isles.

How to get it

Investigate Crystaldrift Cave during the quest Nerveshatter. Near the body of Gadnor you find embers; place amber and madness ore on them to forge the hammer.

Enchantment

Deals 30 points of shock damage plus half as much magicka damage. It cannot be disenchanted, so you can’t learn the effect from it.

Stats and handling

29 base damage at a weight of 29 – more damage than a Daedric Warhammer and a little lighter. It uses the Two-handed skill.

Smithing

Improve it with Refined Amber. It needs Arcane Blacksmith, and Daedric Smithing doubles the improvement.

Strengths and weaknesses

  • Strength: one of the hardest-hitting warhammers in the game.
  • Strength: shock and magicka damage against mages.
  • Weakness: heavy, and it can’t be disenchanted.

Tips

  • Collect extra amber while you explore with Saints & Seducers – you need it to temper the hammer.
  • A natural endgame weapon for two-handed shock builds.
