Umbra is a black Daedric greatsword and the most valuable weapon in Skyrim at 4,647 gold, well ahead of Chrysamere at 3,288. It hits for 24, and the reason to carry it is not the damage but the enchantment: it drains 25 health and 25 stamina a swing and soul traps whatever it kills, which means it keeps itself charged.

Weapon Enchantment

Absorbs 25 points of health and 25 points of stamina from the target, and fills a soul gem if the target dies within 20 seconds.

The health absorption is what makes it a sustain weapon: at 25 a hit it heals faster than most enemies can hurt you, and the built-in soul trap means it recharges from its own kills rather than from your gem supply.

You can find full breakdown and information of all Weapon Enchantment Effects.

Where to Find the Umbra Location?

  • Umbra arrived with its own Creation in March 2019, which also added the dungeon it sits in, Champion's Rest.
  • The sword is claimed at the end of that dungeon. There is no way to reach it without the Creation installed.

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.

Item tier.png 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.
