Volendrung is one of the 17 Daedric Artifacts found in The Elder Scrolls: V Skyrim. Its a unique Two-handed weapon that is also known as the "Hammer of Might." There are multiple records of Volendrung appearing across Tamriel for the last 700 years.

The warhammer was originally owned by the Rourken, a Dwemer clan that moved from Morrowind. According to legend, the clan's leader threw the hammer across Tamriel, deciding to settle wherever it landed. The hammer ended up in Hammerfell, and true to his promise, the Rourken leader built the city of Volenfell, the capital of the western Dwemer, at that spot.

Weapon Enchantment

Volendrung's unique enchantment absorbs 50 points of Stamina on hit. While this is useful for repeated blocking or power attacking, the amount of stamina receved is somewhat overkill. Due to the power of the enchantment the weapon can only be used 23 times before it must be recharged.

Gameplay Tips and Tricks

Although Volendrung is useful at lower levels, it might not be as effective at higher levels because it doesn't benefit from Smithing perks. This means other warhammers can surpass it in terms of maximum damage. However, even though it's a warhammer, Volendrung swings as fast as a greatsword, making it have a higher damage per second than most other warhammers, except possibly The Longhammer.
Volendrung's special ability works well with its weapon type. When you use power attacks with two-handed weapons, your stamina decreases rapidly. Volendrung's powerful enchantment helps counter this by absorbing stamina from your opponent, allowing you to perform more power attacks.

Smithing Guide

Volendrung won't get any additional benefits from Smithing perks. So, to make it better than flawless quality, you need to increase your Smithing skill beyond level 100 with the use of potions or smithing enhancing armor enchantments.

Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.

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.

The Volendrung is not a leveled weapon.
