Its also one of the few Dragonbone weapons you can find in game as opposed to crafting it. Overall this is the strongest one-handed weapon in the game. Remember that the Dragonbone Mace was added in the Dawnguard DLC but is also available in most complete editions of Skyrim like Skyrim Anniversary Edition.

How to Get Dragonbone Weapons
Where to find the Dragonbone Mace Location?
- You can find the Dragonbone Mace during the Dawnguard Questline when you enter the Soul Cairn you must battle three of the Keepers, each of them wield Dragonbone weapons. One of the will be wielding the Dragonbone Mace and Dragonbone Shield. Once defeated you can loot both dragonbone weapons and armor from the Keepers body. However the Keeper only has a chance to drop the dragonbone weapon if you are at least level 45 or higher (see video guide above).
- Aside from the location mentioned earlier, you can't find the Dragonbone Mace at any other specific location in Skyrin. Unlike Dragonbone Armor, the Dragonbone Mace does not appear in any loot lists once you reach a certain level in Skyrim.
- You can craft the Dragonbone Mace once you reach level 100 smithing skill and get the Dragon Armor perk. The Dragonbone Mace can then be forged at a blacksmith's forge.
Gameplay Tips
- The Dragonbone Mace is the most powerful one handed weapon in Skyrim due to it having the highest base damage. According to the items description 'The blows rained down by the Dragonbone Mace are shades less forceful than the attack of a dragon itself.'
- You can attack much faster with the Dragonbone Mace if you equip a dagger in your left hand and the mace in your right hand. Any duel wielding attacks will deliver four rapid swings with abnormally fast attack speed.
