Thunderblood Sledge is a Nord Sledge reforged with a Thunderblood Essence. It deals 235 blunt and 45 lightning, 280 damage in all, against the Nord Sledge's 225. Every hit has a 25% chance to set off chain lightning, and it hits 0.2% harder for every point of health you are missing.
How to Craft
You craft it at a level 4 Black Forge from:
- 1x Nord Sledge: made by hardening a Cast: Nord Sledge with Liquid Frost in a Frost Foundry.
- 20x Bloodgold: smelted from Petrified Tissue in a Blast Furnace.
- 1x Thunderblood Essence: drops from Fallen Warriors, which you call up with three Memorial Coal at a Memorial Site.

When to Use It
This is an end game weapon. You can only progress through the Deep North once Fader is dead.
Upgrades
You can upgrade it twice at the Black Forge, and each step needs the station one level higher than the last. The first upgrade costs the per-level amount and the second costs twice that. Quality 4 would cost four times the per-level amount, but it needs a level 7 Black Forge and the forge currently tops out at level 6, so that row is not yet available.

Properties
Its attack is a single slam after a long wind-up. The slam hits everything within four metres of where it lands, staggers for twice the damage and knocks every target back.
It blocks with 52 armour and parries at 2x.
Holding it lowers your movement speed by 20%.
At quality 1 it deals 235 blunt and 45 lightning, 280 damage in all. That is 93% more than Demolisher at quality 1, which deals 145 and is the hardest-hitting weapon of its kind before the Deep North. Each upgrade adds 10 blunt and 5 lightning, so by quality 3 it reaches 255 blunt and 55 lightning, 310 in all.
Each attack costs 28 stamina. Its hits have a knockback force of 210.
It weighs 4 and has 400 durability, rising to 500 at quality 3.
It blocks with 52 armour, or 104 on a well-timed parry at 2x. Blocking a melee attack knocks the attacker back with a block force of up to 50.
Against Deep North creatures, blunt deals extra damage to Skeletons and to the Shapeless and Tiny Pulps. It deals full damage to Elakings, the Eyeless One, Deep North Greydwarves and their Shamans, Hexen, Krigen, Captive Fulings, Imprisoned Dvergr and Kall Fimbulbringer, and reduced damage to Barka, Fallen Warriors, Gammeltrolls and Moose. Lightning deals extra damage to the Shapeless and Tiny Pulps and reduced damage to Barka and Kall Fimbulbringer. It deals full damage to the rest: Elakings, the Eyeless One, Fallen Warriors, Gammeltrolls, Deep North Greydwarves and their Shamans, Skeletons, Hexen, Krigen, Captive Fulings, Imprisoned Dvergr and Moose.
Quality 4 needs a level 7 Black Forge, one level above the current maximum of 6, so in practice it stops at quality 3.
Crafting it from scratch and taking it to quality 3 costs 70 Bloodgold, 10 Timberwood and 4 Thunderblood Essence, plus a mould and 5 Liquid Frost.
Notes
- The essence drops from Fallen Warriors, which three Memorial Coal call up at a Memorial Site.
- Once it reaches its last quality level, the Forge of Potential can push it further with a Bloodgold Battle Idol.
