10 Insane Weapons Hidden In Open World Games

10. Windshear - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

When Skyrim released in 2011 it instantly became one of gaming’s most beloved open worlds by being unbelievably deep. Countless questlines set us off into the far reaches of the land, searching for adventure and stories to tell our friends about scraps with the Ice Giant or the crazy loot we found.

Depending on how you played the game depended on what you might find.

The Windshear sword can only be obtained if you take on the Hail Sithis! quest, which means if you elect to destroy the Dark Brotherhood then you won’t get a chance to wield it. The quest allows you to board the ship The Katariah. By climbing the boat and walking along its bowstrip, you can find the Windshear lodged into the wood.

The Windshear is a single-handed weapon but in order to make full use of it you should be unequipped in the other hand so you can utilise its bash skill.

What makes the Windshear so special? It can stun any enemy on either of its two swings for a 10th of a second, from lowly skeletons to even dragons. Thus, if you’re bold and swift enough, the Windshear can get you through most any battle the game has to offer.

Time to go back and show that Ice Giant what for…
