The Iron Greatsword is a Two-Handed weapon in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is one of the most common weapons available, and is one of the first the Dragonborn has access to.
Location[]
Both enchanted and unenchanted greatswords are available throughout Skyrim from level 1. These locations include:
- Blacksmiths, and general goods merchants.
- Wielded by various characters or enemies.
- Found as random loot in chests, or as a world item throughout Skyrim.
Smithing[]
A iron greatsword can be crafted without any Smithing perks. It can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 4 x Iron Ingot
- 2 x Leather Strip
It can be upgraded with an iron ingot at a grindstone, however, it does not benefit from any Smithing perks.
