Thunderblood Sword is a Nord Sword reforged with a Thunderblood Essence. It deals 180 slash and 45 lightning, 225 damage in all, against the Nord Sword's 170. 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 Sword: made by hardening a Cast: Nord Sword 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
The primary attack is a three-hit combo, and the last hit deals double damage. The secondary attack is a single strike for three times the damage.
It blocks with 66 armour and parries at 2x.
Holding it lowers your movement speed by 5%.
At quality 1 it deals 180 slash and 45 lightning, 225 damage in all. That is 45% more than Dyrnwyn at quality 1, which deals 155 and is the hardest-hitting weapon of its kind before the Deep North. Each upgrade adds 10 slash and 5 lightning, so by quality 3 it reaches 200 slash and 55 lightning, 255 in all.
A primary attack costs 16 stamina and the secondary costs 28. Its hits have a knockback force of 40.
It weighs 0.8 and has 400 durability, rising to 500 at quality 3.
It blocks with 66 armour, or 132 on a well-timed parry at 2x. Blocking a melee attack knocks the attacker back with a block force of up to 20.
Against Deep North creatures, slash deals full damage to Elakings, the Eyeless One, Deep North Greydwarves and their Shamans, Skeletons, Hexen, Krigen, Captive Fulings, Imprisoned Dvergr and Kall Fimbulbringer. It deals reduced damage to Barka, Fallen Warriors, Gammeltrolls, the Shapeless and Tiny Pulps, 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.
