You forgot to mention the most underrated thing that makes Mehrune's Razor the best dagger in the game when dual wielding. If you dual wield it with Valdr's Lucky Dagger, the chance to insta-kill enemies stacks with Valdr's Lucky Dagger critical chance. In short that nearly 2% insta-kill becomes 26-27% chance to insta-kill. Better, you can even make that chance even higher by doing the following: 1. Have the vanilla version of the game with NO mods at all. Not even the Unofficial patches. 2. Use Mehrune's Dagger on you MAIN/PRIMARY hand. Valdr's Lucky Dagger on your off hand. 3. Get the Critical Chance perk from the One-Handed skill tree. 4. Get 2 stages of the Dual Flurry perk from the One-Handed skill tree. 5. Have ALL 3 words (Tiid, Klo & UI) of the slow time shout. If you do the above, you will have a near 100% success rate at insta-killing whatever you strike during the duration of the slow time shout.
Best dagger that you can craft is Stalhrim Dagger with Chaos damage and fiery soul trap effects. For non craftable best dagger I recomend Mehrunes Razor.
There's an unconfirmed bug, found on the UESP wiki, that when you make a custom Chaos damage enchantment the damage listed is only true for shock damage, the fire and frost stay at 10. A stalhrim weapon would still improve the magnitude of the entire enchant but... yeah. That and the chaos damage enchant has a funky % chance to deal each, all, or none of the damages. I'd def just do frost and fiery soul trap.
@@thezblah there's 8 possibilities for chaos, so 1/8 chance of nothing, 7/8 chance for damage plus 1/2 chance for at least 2 enchantments to make it better than a regular damage enchant

You can’t speak of Keening without at least mentioning that it was one of the most important artifacts in Morrowind’s history. It’s been used to tap into the heart of a literal god
You've missed *Valdr's Lucky Dagger* a steel dagger with a unique enchantment (25% chance of a critical hit), in my opinion is the best dagger you can get early game. You will get it from Valdr in Moss Mother Cavern a small cave northwest of Falkreath near Half-Moon Mill, after healing his wounds and cleaning the cave from a bear and spriggans.
Also the Blade of Woe is the most heavy dagger in Skyrim. It weight almost like a sword which makes it pretty slow. That's why I personally prefer the Mehrunes' Razor in main hand and the Valdr's Lucky Dagger in second hand. Very deadly combination if you ask me.
The Ebony Warrior can turn the Razor's effect back on you with his Reflect Blows perk. Seeing as how that perk activates often on him, I wouldn't recommend using it against him.
I never really thought about but the ebony warrior would have all the perks because he's at max level. technically max level since the legendary skills were added that made the level cap infinite, but without that option leveling every skill to 100 puts you at level 81
Another unique dagger you missed is Valdr’s lucky dagger. There’s also a way to glitch it to get a second one as well. It’s enchantment gives a 25% for a critical hit. This enchantment uses no charges so lasts forever. Duel wielding two of these really puts out some damage per second because of the criticals.
Too bad critical hits suck ass. They are based on base attack damage, so mid to late game the extra damage is not noticable. All the perks to get critical hits are just a waste of perk points.
@@stefannilsson2406 How many percent of damages are critical hits dealing by the way( for Valdr's and skills)? Could someone tell me please? I love Valdr's dagger as well, but yeah, not sure it's still so good at high lvl if critical hits are only based on base damages.
Interesting bug or downside to Blade of Woe, it has the base damage and stagger value (meaning it cannot stagger) of a dagger and counts for the sneak perks... but it has the attack speed of a sword. Not terribly noticeable when doing stealth takedowns but unlike all other daggers it can't do the "double hit" when performing a standing power attack because of it's slow speed.
Keening is also "good" for long time players of the series who like their lore. Basically, it's one of Kagrenacs tools- Kagrenac being the chief Tonal Architects of the now extinct Dwemer. Although it's ancient enchantment is apparently failing. It used to be that you needed a special gauntlet just to hold the thing without dying. It's one of the tools the Tribunal used to ascend as living gods. Basically, Keening, along with it's "brother", Sunder, were tools made by Kagrenac for the purpose of drawing out and manipulating the energies from the Heart of Lorkhan*. The ultimate Goal being to make a Mechanical god, Numidium**. Ultimately, he only succeeded in causing every dwemer on the planet to disappear at once- with one exception. It Featured *very* prominently in the story of ES3: Morrowind. *IF you aren't up on the lore- Lorkhan was the god who made mundus- and the human races are his "descendants" (Where as elves claim their ancestors were Aedra). It's a long story, but Lorkhan was basically killed by the chief deities of the old school elves- Auri-el and Triminac, and his heart was cast into the ocean from which Vardenfell and red mountain arose. The dwemer specifically went to Vardenfell to find the damn thing. **Tiber Septim would get his hands on Numidium- though not powered by the heart- and use it to conquer Tamriel. The thing basically breaks time every time it was deployed- and only the timeline where it wins is allowed to exist. It was destroyed shortly after the conquest- probably deemed to dangerous to keep around. If you are wondering what it was actually powered by? Souls.

So one of the most powerful daggers in skyrim, not for raw damage but for other reasons is valdr's lucky dagger which has the effect of increasing critical hit chance by 25% which is considered an additional effect similar to that on the zephyr bow and the long hammer meaning you can use the elemental fury shout with this dagger equipped which makes it one of the most powerful in the game for reasons other than damage personally I wield this in my off hand with a sword in my right hand to land critical hits left right and center which while critical hits are not powerful in the grand scheme of thing they do have an effect even if it is a lacking one
I often play with mods that make critical hits more powerful, and I honestly just like the sound when you land a critical hit which is the only reason I do it. If bethesda ever releases a redesigned version of skyrim they need to change some of the mechanics because axes do not do enough bleed damage, critical hits are worthless, the mace perks are also pretty bad, and a whole host of other things need to be added, improved, or removed.
Critical strikes (generally) do half the base damage again, and that damage bypasses armour. Critical strikes get improved by the relevant perks which allow you to do them which are Deep Wounds (Two-handed), Bladesman (One-handed) and Critical Shot (Archery). This caps at rank 3 where critical strikes end up doing just shy of full damage again, which still bypasses armour.

@@jamesbeck3036 Stealth mage is also a fun one, using illusion spells to help with stealth in the early game completely changes it, casting calm and muffle makes it so much easier.
@@LupinaCatto How you gonna cast expert level spells at level 1 buddy? Do you actually know what the phrase "early game" means? Nah of course not, judging from your grammar you don't even know what English is.
I sometimes like to play with daggers as my main weapon. I used to be part of a medieval re-enactment group, one thing I learned from them is that proper swords would be the preserve of the wealthy, with most people using knives instead as bladed weapons, which some of the daggers in Skyrim closely resemble. It can be interesting to RP as a Medieval Peasant Dragonborn.
Silent yet whenever I kill someone with a weapon in any game, Fallout or skyrim, despite any sneak skill, all NPCs in the area immediately aggro and it seems fallout is even harder to stay hidden.
Yeah. Since bows only allow one kill minimum before the next kills give the bandits spidey sences, I could guess how much hell it'd be to try & melee stealth-kill them. Not even to mention how all the enemies that are patrolling instantly moves out of your arrows trajectory. Just because encampment human enemies such as bandits are able to detect an arrow while it's still flying and for some reason have a bunch of coding floating around telling them to dodge arrows with light speed. - The only reason you can't sneak in Fallout 3 & beyond is because the environment don't give much options to sneak attack from. It's either an open field or a claustrophobic office complex or a multi-leveled tech area that makes you easy to spot the split second some dip-shit decide to walk around a corner while you have to deal with darkness, non-silent weapons unless you're playing as melee and you don't have split second reactions. And what really takes the cake is how an entire building can aggro on to you by Jangles the fucking cymbal clapper monkey.
Well you can actually get an ebony dagger at a really early level thru the dark brotherhood. The second last quest where you kill sisaru, he has an ebony dagger
I guess this is a list for the base damage, not taking into consideration damaged per second, perks like one hand, sneak and buffs like elemental fury shout. I believe Alessandra's Dagger is the strongest.
I started working on the mehrunes razor quest but when I got to morthal I was attacked by a dragon and jorgon was killed in the process so I just had to take the key off his body lol. Easiest time I ever had doing a quest
I think all unique weapons should have equal or more damage than dragonbone wepons. Otherwise they become totally useless. I mean, I recently got the unique bow that draws arrows 30% faster, but I'll never use it since my dragonbone bow deals over 2X damage
I love your videos, you're very good at what you do and are only comparable to Camelworks, I'm very glad you're making Skyrim vids and keep up the great work
For anyone wanting to do an assassin build without crafting or enchanting, mehrunes razor in your left hand and blade of woe in your right hand is the best combo especially if you power attack since one attack drains hp and the other 2 attacks have a chance to insta kill
I use the windshear with the mehrunes razor, it is pretty funny to stack the backstab perk with the gauntlets of D brotherhood, you get on his back, backstab with mehrunes, if he's not dead hit with windshear, get again on his back and repeat the process
1st one: I've gone to that location 100's of times in my 1,000's of hours in Skyrim & I've never seen that dagger. Nor did I even know about it till this video.
I was in south western skyrim hunting bears when i came across a fortress of orc bandits and hunters. Hunters carry a lot of pelt, so i entered looking for more. Found the shards of mehrunes razor. Which i then sought to finnish the quest and get the dagger. Came looking for copper, and found gold.
A concept I always wished was a creation club item was a soul gem grinded into a dagger, the dagger could have an innate enchantment to A; Soul trap always on sneak attack kills, and B; deal 10-15 points of “Soul Damage” a type of true damage
1:45 well.. let's send some automatons to Soul Cairn then.. I bet they wouldn't even feel tormented in there.. since it's just machines.. might get bored tho.. being a Ghost machine trapped forever in such a dreaded place.
So I made a character practically immortal using the restoration/enchanting loop, but I didn't realize how useful Mehrunes Razor would be until I had to fight a clone of myself who wasn't taking damage. I took out Mehrunes Razor, equipped a paralyze spell, and I fixed the issue in a matter of minutes 😎
A trick I used for blade of sacrifice was using an orc from one of the strongholds that could act as a follower after I helped the stronghold. It was the one that you get the daedric hammer (don't remember the name) had one of the orcs come with me that had no unique dialogue and killed him for it
How so? I just acquired it in my current playthrough, and - outside of the associated quest - it seems pretty worthless. It's base damage is low, and it doesn't have any additional effects.
Morrowind Keening: I am one of the most important artifacts in the lore of the franchise, I bestow great powers and can kill anyone who attempts to wield me unprepared. Skyrim Keening: I have more bugs than Skyrim has rereleases but I'm still unpatched.
As good as the game is in general, I think there could be much more. Better effects for unique gears, better spells, perks, better everything. It's never "wow, I wish I could do that!", it's rather "eh... more trouble than fun"
I'm glad you included bloodthorn, I actually probably use that dagger more than any other to fill my soul gems, lol Though, Mehrune's razor is definitely my favorite!
There is also the dragon priests dagger and has a base damage of 13 and is the only one in the game although I forgot where it is but it has a really fascinating apperance look it up
with number 2 on this list, is Alduin included in with the 1-Hit-Kill Exception? I mean, he dies TWICE, if I remember correctly? Once at Throat of the World, once in Sovnguard, am I wrong?

If you do the above, you will have a near 100% success rate at insta-killing whatever you strike during the duration of the slow time shout.
I came here to say the same thing except using the full elemental fury shout.

All of Boethia's followers were killed by a highly inconvenient dragon as soon as I got to the shrine
1:45 well.. let's send some automatons to Soul Cairn then.. I bet they wouldn't even feel tormented in there.. since it's just machines.. might get bored tho.. being a Ghost machine trapped forever in such a dreaded place.
This good video cheadle genetics
So I made a character practically immortal using the restoration/enchanting loop, but I didn't realize how useful Mehrunes Razor would be until I had to fight a clone of myself who wasn't taking damage. I took out Mehrunes Razor, equipped a paralyze spell, and I fixed the issue in a matter of minutes 😎
A trick I used for blade of sacrifice was using an orc from one of the strongholds that could act as a follower after I helped the stronghold. It was the one that you get the daedric hammer (don't remember the name) had one of the orcs come with me that had no unique dialogue and killed him for it
(That’s what it’s all about sacrificing things and stuff and people) that killed me 😂
Also the nettlebane can be a monster dagger to keep as well it may not be top five but is a long time favorite of mine
How so? I just acquired it in my current playthrough, and - outside of the associated quest - it seems pretty worthless. It's base damage is low, and it doesn't have any additional effects.
So for keening it doesn't have a charge bar which normally means the effect will never go away, but yet it only has one charge
For me the effect has never gone away, through all of my play throughs...
Keening just looks cool, but you also get the soul of Arniel who you can summon as follower
The Razor and Blade of Woe are my go to #sneakyboi weapons.
Nice video BADCaedoSarge! (Sorry if I spelt your name wrong)
Morrowind Keening: I am one of the most important artifacts in the lore of the franchise, I bestow great powers and can kill anyone who attempts to wield me unprepared.
Skyrim Keening: I have more bugs than Skyrim has rereleases but I'm still unpatched.
Great guide, Condominium Gandalf!
Yeah my favorite play through, i just duel wielded the top two on this list
Keening is OP as hell especially if you wait to get it when you hit lvl50
As good as the game is in general, I think there could be much more. Better effects for unique gears, better spells, perks, better everything. It's never "wow, I wish I could do that!", it's rather "eh... more trouble than fun"
Ahh Shit. Howd you know Caedo.I'm playing Skyrim right now pls do unique swords , war axes n outfits.
I'm glad you included bloodthorn, I actually probably use that dagger more than any other to fill my soul gems, lol
Though, Mehrune's razor is definitely my favorite!
This video is amazing
There is also the dragon priests dagger and has a base damage of 13 and is the only one in the game although I forgot where it is but it has a really fascinating apperance look it up
Thought you needed Wraithguard to wield Keening........
Awesome vid❤, but serious question what spell are u using and why?
The green one? Probably Transmute, to change iron into silver/gold.
100 one hand stat with the right glove and assassin skill you can get to over 1500 dmg in one blow with the blade of woe, it is trully powerfull
The best dagger is Netbane, because it can open mail very easily.
What about Valdirs dagger?
My favorite method for a dagger class is to maxed them out and use the shout battle fury and see how much it does
Nice vid
I thought Keening was like Mehrunes, it just had infinite charges.
I keep seeing things "Resist" the effect of Mehrunes Razor in my game.
with number 2 on this list, is Alduin included in with the 1-Hit-Kill Exception? I mean, he dies TWICE, if I remember correctly? Once at Throat of the World, once in Sovnguard, am I wrong?
Bruh, I was using both Mehrunes and Blade of Woe without knowing that they were the best
That mokemt when u realize that u already got 1 and 2 :(
The c in caedo stands for cool
fang of haynekhtnamet
Whoa..., Blade of
Pretty sure the razor isn't all that good since it's so rare to one shot. But good list, very informative.
It’s good against bosses cuz more opportunities to hit the enemy and thus insta kill
I didn't know about mehrunes razor and took the blade accidentally
Ur channel is epic
