The Legend of Zelda: The Blade of Evil's Bane (Fort Dawnguard Edition)

[or Triforce of Courage version]
-REQUIRES DAWNGUARD-

This mod is now finished and provided as-is, so I wo'n't be modifying anything about it.

This mod expands on (but does not rely on) CaptainRC's craftable Master Sword mod, based on the amazing meshes by Chief-01.
which can be found here[chief-01.deviantart.com]

Also, my Hylian Shield mod if your Master Sword is lonely (also based on Chief-01's meshes)

One Master Sword is in Ancestor Glade. A recipe to unlock its full power can be found in loot like other Atronach Forge recipes.
Another recipe can be used to darken the Master Sword, making a more sinister blade.
And, in the spirit of the classic Zelda games, the Sword is intended to be difficult to fully obtain.

There is also a version available that uses the Atronach Forge instead of the forge in Fort Dawnguard.

As well as a version that uses the Skyforge exclusively.

and on the Nexus[skyrim.nexusmods.com].

I highly suggest that you simply go to the Archmage's Quarters at the College of Winterhold and find the note on the Enchanting Table, but if you want to know more, read ahead.

Oh, and the Majora's Mask one of my characters is wearing.

Only on the Nexus, though.[skyrim.nexusmods.com]

The unenchanted Master Sword in Ancestor Glade is a heavy one-handed sword about as strong as an Orcish War Axe.

The True Master Sword of this mod is essentially a more powerful Dawnbreaker (as strong as Daedric weapons), dealing extra damage to undead, especially vampires, and has the ability to banish any Daedra.

The Corrupt Master Sword has a more unique enchantment, dealing damage of all three elements (Flame, Frost, Shock) as well as stamina damage and Soul Trap. It can be forged with the Dawnguard Forge or the Skyforge. The latter requires the Elven Smithing perk in addition to Arcane Blacksmith.


The mod requires the Dawnguard DLC, not just because the sword is in Ancestor Glade, but also because the recipe for charging the sword requires Ancestor Moth wings and the forge in Fort Dawnguard.

Speaking of which, here are the Forge recipes
(Note: the recipes can be found throughout the world, but are guaranteed to be found in the Hall of the Vigilant, Fellglow Keep and Kilkreath Ruins)

-To awaken the Master Sword:
Arcane Blacksmith Perk
1 Ancestor Moth Wing
1 Blue Butterfly Wing
1 Monarch Butterfly Wing
1 Luna Moth Wing
1 Circle of Protection Scroll (or knowing the spell)
Unpowered Master Sword found in Ancestor Glade
Look in the EBONY section of the forge.

-To corrupt the Master Sword:
Arcane Blacksmith Perk
(and Elven Smithing if using the Skyforge)
1 Daedra Heart
1 Void Salt
1 Fire Salt
1 Frost Salt
1 Filled Black Soul Gem
Unpowered Master Sword found in Ancestor Glade
Look in the DAEDRIC section of the forge.

To purify the Corrupt Master Sword:
Arcane Blacksmith Perk
1 Empty Grand Soul Gem
1 Grand Healing Scroll (or knowing the spell)
1 Ancestor Moth Wing
Corrupt Master Sword
Look in the STEEL section of the forge.


Vampires or folks who decided not to follow the Dawngard can obtain the Awakened Master Sword at the Skyforge with the following recipe:
Arcane Blacksmith Perk
50 Restoration
3 filled Grand Soul Gems
4 Ancestor Moth Wings
4 Blue Butterfly Wings
4 Monarch Butterfly Wings
5 Luna Moth Wing
1 Grand Healing Scroll (or knowing the spell)
Unpowered Master Sword found in Ancestor Glade


The recipes are the same in the Atronach Forge version, but this version requires that they be in your inventory to forge the blade.

You can choose an evil or good path with the blade, but you cannot corrupt the True Master Sword. You can purify the Corrupt Master Sword to the True Master Sword, but the True Master Sword will be enchanted forever.


If you have any problems or find a bug or something let me know so I can fix it!

Also, this is the Majora's Mask one of my characters is wearing:

Sometimes Skyrim will load an object improperly, and it will look like it is somewhere it isn't. The sword ends up being there, but not able to be picked up.
You have a few options if this happens:
1. Saving and reloading in the Sanctuary, which might make it possible to interact with the sword.
2. Searching around the rock for where the game ended up putting the sword. It will be invisible, but the "take Master Sword" interaction will appear when you've found it.
3. Use the first word of Unrelenting Force, aiming it at and around the rock to jostle the sword out of its invisible place. It will become visible where the game is actually simulating it.
