Scourge is Malacath's mace and the second most valuable weapon in Skyrim at 6,569 gold, ahead even of Umbra. It hits for 18 and its enchantment does something no other weapon does: it banishes summoned Daedra outright rather than damaging them.
Weapon Enchantment
Summoned Daedra up to level 36 are sent back to Oblivion.
Level 36 is a high ceiling. It covers every atronach and most Dremora a conjurer will throw at you, and banishing removes them instantly rather than fighting through their health. Against anything that is not a summon, this enchantment does nothing at all.

Where to Find the Scourge Location?
- Carried by Valkyn Gatanas in the Deadlands, during The Cause.
- It is a Daedric artefact rather than a craftable weapon, so there is one and only one per playthrough.
Trivia
- Scourge appeared in Battlespire and Morrowind before this. In Battlespire lore a Daedra that invoked the mace's power with the keyword 'Equality' was banished by it.
- Patch 1.6.629 gave Valkyn Gatanas the Daedric Gauntlets of Negation, which explains how a Dremora could carry a weapon that banishes Dremora.
Smithing Guide
Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.
Tempering it needs the Arcane Blacksmith perk, because the weapon is enchanted. The material perk below doubles what each improvement is worth.
| Tempering Material | Perk |
|---|---|
| Ebony Ingot | Daedric Smithing |
Weapon Levels
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.
