How to Get Horksbane Guide

Where to find Horksbane Location

You can find Horksbane on the north coast of the Island Solstheim on Horker Island near the body of Saden who died to the secret boss 'Lord Tusk,' an abnormal large Horker.

You can get an additonal copy of Horksbane after two ingame weeks when the weapon will respawn next to Saden's body.

Trivia

Ironically Horksbane once belonged to Saden who died to Horker's, despite having a weapon specifically created to deal with them. This is also somewhat of an easter egg reference to Frofnir Trollsbane, who was also killed by Trolls despite having a weapon named Trollsbain.
One of the few gameplay uses for Horksbane is to give it to the housecarl of the player home Winstead Manor to assist them in battling the Horkers that constantly spawn near the [[Skyrim:Fish Hatchery|Fish Hatchery.
Horksbane's unique enchantment was caused by Saden's extreme hatred of the horkers flowing into his weapon when he witnessed them killing his friends.

Some weapons in Skyrim are Levelled. The power of a levelled weapon is based on your charcters level when you get them. Some get stronger in both physical and magical aspects, while others only improve their enchantments. These items don't get better as your character levels up.

Horksbane is not a levelled weapon.
