How to Get Torment Guide
How It Plays
Torment is a Daedric longsword that looks like the blade of a Dremora, with crimson Daedric script along its black blade. It burns everything it touches. Each hit sets the target alight, and an enemy already burning takes extra damage. Steady pressure pays off: the first strike lights the target, and the strikes that follow hit harder.
The sword hits harder than any other one-handed sword in the game, and it also has the longest reach among them. Those two traits make it one of the strongest one-handed swords available. It comes at the very end of a high level quest, so it is an end game weapon. Its charge is large, so it can see a long dungeon through before it needs a soul gem.
Goldbrand carries the same burning enchantment, but Torment hits harder and reaches further. Dawnbreaker's fire is far weaker, though its blast against the undead remains unmatched. Chillrend trades raw damage for frost and paralysis.
Perks and Builds
The One-Handed Skill tree drives the sword. Armsman raises the damage of all one-handed weapons, and Bladesman adds critical hits with swords. A dual wielder gains from Dual Flurry and Dual Savagery.
Torment is tempered with an Ebony Ingot, and the Daedric Smithing Perk doubles each improvement. A smith who already forges Daedric gear can keep it sharp with the same supplies.
Quest Background
Torment comes from The Cause, an adventure against the Mythic Dawn. The cult once served Mehrunes Dagon in the Oblivion Crisis, and its survivors now try to open a new Oblivion Gate. The quest begins when a courier delivers the Stranger's Plea, once the Dragonborn reaches level 46.
The cult tricks the Dragonborn into opening the gate, and the trail leads into the Deadlands, the realm of Mehrunes Dagon. Inside, Dremora of high rank stand between the Dragonborn and the Sigil Stone. One of them, Valkyn Methats, carries Torment, and the sword is taken from his body.
Gameplay Tips
Temper it at a grindstone with an Ebony Ingot. The Daedric Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
Smithing Guide
Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.
Upgrades
Torment is improved at a grindstone with one Ebony Ingot per improvement. The Daedric Smithing perk doubles the improvement, so each quality tier needs less Smithing skill. An enchanted copy can only be improved with the Arcane Blacksmith perk.

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.
Torment has the same damage at every character level.
