Click here for more Skyrim GuidesWhen it comes in picking the best Mace (weapon) in the game, one of the most powerful ones will have to be the Mace of Molag Bal, a Daedra Artifact, that can be obtained in Skyrim.
Out of the fifteen Daedra Artifacts that are scattered throughout Skyrim, I have to say that getting the Mace of Molag Bal will be worth your time. As of unlocking the quest, they’re pretty easy and there’s no level requirements.
the Mace of Molag Bal
– To initiate the quest, go to Markarth. The very first time you go to the town, you’ll have an incident where two townspeople got killed by “Forsworn” bandit.
– Go outside the town and re-enter again.
– From the main gate, head to the stairs leading to your right. You’ll be on top of the bridge and you’ll see a tunnel. Below are two people talking about the incident that happened in the Abandoned house. Let them finish talking and approach Vigilant Tyranus.
– When you talk to Vigilant Tyranus, he’ll then ask you if you see anything strange happening to the house he’s referring to. Give him any answers and agree to help him investigate.
– Inside the abandoned house, you and him will explore it. Follow him until you reach the basement where you’ll encounter a lock door.
– You’ll hear a mysterious voice as soon as you attempt to open the door. Vigilant will run and the house will turn into a haunted house. You’ll see vases floating around and lights flickering. Scary!

November 17, 2011 at 1:02 PMYep, that’s definitely one handy mace you gotta get even though you spill blood to do so lol. It absorbs the souls of those you kill and stores them in gems which is a very unique enchantment that apparently can’t be learned. As far as being one of the strongest…well that may be so, earlier in the game, especially after putting it to the grindstone. I stashed mine away immediately after I forged my ‘Ebony Mace’ which did 20+ more damage than my Mace of Molag Bal (Exquisite)

November 18, 2011 at 11:41 AMthat’s not really a rare enchantment i already have on a level 4 character, and i have had it for a long time on my main level 21. Still a cool mace though.

The enchantment the mace does (along with TWENTY FIVE points of damage to health, AND stamina which is better than any mace you can forge/enchant along with the default dmg) is called Soul Trap. It’s not rare whatsoever. There’s a Novice level spell you can learn called.. well Soul Trap. The enchant can be taken from any item with it, which you can find all over the game. You’re obviously not very familiar with the Elder Scrolls series..

December 3, 2011 at 8:55 PMThis Mace sucks, you cant upgrade this on zu legendary, so it basicly crap. At the moment ive got 120 Weapon Dmg on my Deadra-Sword, 77 at the maximum upgrade of this mace….its a loss of 36% dmg…finaly a crap mace.

December 31, 2011 at 9:46 PMOf course the mace sucks for a level 40+. This one is a beast at lvl 15 (which I’m at). Smashes trolls, bears, sabres, draugr and mages with ease. Took out a draugr death lord with no problem.

May 2, 2012 at 5:26 PMOk so I look at the mace of malag bal under the weapons menu and as I was going to select to use it I see a crazy looking symbol in the upper left hand corner it look like a sideways s and it has a green glow. Anyone know what it is? What a bad ass weapon!

February 21, 2015 at 2:19 AMI upgraded it to legendary,and at level 125 it takes up to 3 blows to kill.Often one is enough,so certainly it is very powerful.
