The Steel Greatsword is a Two-Handed weapon found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

LocationEdit

Unenchanted Steel Greatswords will begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 2 and enchanted greatswords can be found at level 3. 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.

VariantsEdit

• Skyforge Steel Greatsword - a possible reward for completing The Companions quest Proving Honor.

SmithingEdit

Crafting the greatsword requires the Steel Smithing perk. It can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:

• 3 x Leather Strip
• 4 x Steel Ingot
• 2 x Iron Ingot

It can be upgraded with a Steel Ingot at a grindstone and also benefits from the Steel Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.

TriviaEdit

• Can be seen in a loading screen wielded by a male Nord wearing Steel Plate Armor.
• It bears a resemblance to the German Zweihander sword due to its leather-wrapped ricasso, although it is purely cosmetic in the game.
