We decided to devote this guide to the most useful artifacts from Morrowind. All the things that we will talk about today can be found during the passage of the game and used by your character. Artifacts are primarily objects endowed with unique properties and effects. They can all be divided into 3 groups: weapons, armor / clothing and rings / amulets. By the way, the game has several special quests that you can go through not only for receiving artifacts, but also for simple interaction with them (for example, the task “Dwemer artifacts”). In Morrowind there are many unique things and objects with useful characteristics, the main thing is to know where to look for them.
Blade of the Daedric Crescent
Characteristics:
- Type: long, two-handed.
- Slashing Damage: 15 to 40
- Cutting Damage: 20 to 50
- Stitching Damage: 5 to 15
- Weighs: 35.
- Cost: 180 thousand
- Armor Destruction Effect: 30 points.
- Paralysis effect for 10 seconds.
- Charges: 250.
The weapon is in a tower called Tel Fir. The location is located on an island not far from the continent, more precisely, in a south-westerly direction from the city of Sadrith Mora. Once inside, we are looking for a box (we advise you to look at the lower left shelf), locked with a lock of the hundredth level. Inside will be an amulet that will take us to one of the Daedric Shrines. Teleport to a small room guarded by Dremora - we defeat her and go back. This time the amulet will fall, and instead of it our character will hold the Daedric Crescent.
"Crusher of Skulls"
Weapon characteristics:
- Type: crushing, one-handed.
- Slashing Damage: 10 to 60
- Cutting Damage: 10 to 50

- Weighs: 15.

First we travel to Sadrith Mora, and then follow east. Sooner or later, we have to get to the daedric ruins without any visible entrance. A little east of this place, on a small island, you can find the Omarin Family Tomb. Part of the Tomb will be occupied by daedric ruins - we get to the end, go up and find ourselves at the Forgotten Arches of Anudnabia. We go to the Forge and go down to the lower level. In one of the rooms we will be thrown up to the place where the chest with the castle of the eightieth level is located. We deal with hacking and pick up the “Crusher of Skulls”.
Note: at the same level, you can pick up the Daedric Horror Face helmet from the corresponding armor set. To do this, just take off just above the chest to where the row of protrusions is located. The helmet we need will lie on one of these protrusions.
The Spear of Bitter Mercy
Main characteristics:
- Type: pole, two-handed.
- Slashing Damage: 1 to 15
- Cutting Damage: 1 to 15
- Piercing Damage: 15 to 60
- Weighs: 20.
- Cost: 130 thousand
- Reflect Attack Effect: 30% for 30 seconds.
- Summon Thunder Atronach: The spell lasts 30 seconds.
- Charges: 2160.
A spear is given as a reward for completing the Sheogorath quest. To do this, go to the city of Vivec, where, in the area of the District of St. Delin, you can find the Underground with the Daedric Sanctuary of Ichinipalit. On the territory of the Sanctuary is a statue of Sheogorath - we turn to her to get the task.
The quest for the “Spear” is quite unusual: we have to go to the most northern island in the archipelago called Shigorod, where the crazed hermit lives. This hermit is the owner of the great artifact, "Tickling Forks." We must get this item and use it in the battle with the giant netch male. If at this point the character has not yet had time to pump the skill of “Short Blades”, then we advise you to opt for more familiar weapons, and use “Fork” at the very end of the battle, to finish it off. Male netch can be found in the northwestern part of the archipelago.
Armor Symbol of Eleidon
Armor Feature:
- Type: heavy.
- Protection: 333.
- Strength: 2000.
- Weighs: 30.
- Cost: 200 thousand
- Health recovery effect: 50-100 points.
- Charges: 95.
Armor is hidden in the depths of the Ibar Dad cave. You can get there by the following route: we find on the map the city of Maar Gan, in the north of it should be a camp called Urshilak. First, we go towards the camp, and then we turn west and continue walking to the next location with the Sanctuary.
Having reached the goal, we choose the path that leads to the southwest, it will lead us to the Ibar Dad cave. Inside, we have a little swim. Feel free to jump into the water and swim to the fork, where you need to choose the left side. We pick up the key and go back - this time we are sailing to the right. Sooner or later, a Burial will appear in front of us, which will be guarded by several serious enemies. We deal with the threat, open the door with the key we found earlier, and pick up the “Symbol of Eleidon”. We advise you to look around: in the Burial you can find other good things and unique Morrowind artifacts.
Import armor into other games
It is worth mentioning that on the Internet you can find quite interesting mods for artifacts from Morrowind in Skyrim, which allow you to transfer your favorite unique items from the third part of the game series to the fifth. The list of imported artifacts includes a wide variety of things, including the “Symbol of Eleidon” armor.
Helmet of Orein
Artifact Characteristics:
- Type: heavy.
- Protection: 300.
- Strength: 900.
- Weighs: 10.
- Cost: 125 thousand
- Effect of Increased Agility: 40 points.
- The effect of increased stamina: 40 points.
Just like the Spear of Bitter Grace, which we talked about earlier, the Helmet of Orein can be obtained as a reward for completing one of the daedric quests. This time we will be dealing with a statue from the Sanctuary of Assurdirapal. The location we need is located on a small island north of the Danmer fortress Valenvarion, which, in turn, is located east of the Urshilaku camp. If you are having difficulty finding the last location, we advise you to start your journey from Maar Ghana, and from there move north to the coast.
As for the statue itself, then it will have to go down to the Inner Sanctuary. We speak with her and get the task: to deal with Farvin Oreyn - the last descendant of the Oreyn clan. The character can be found south of Gnaar Moka. He himself is not dangerous, but his bodyguards will have to tinker with. We kill all three and return to the Sanctuary, where a well-deserved reward will be waiting for us.
“Ring of Khajiit”
Item Feature:
- Weighs: 0.1 pts.
- Cost: 10 thousand
- Permanent invisibility effect lasting 30 seconds.
- Effect of increased speed: + 20% lasting 30 seconds.
- Charges: 265.
Like most of the artifacts in the game, Kajit's Ring is a reward for completing a specific mission. In order to start the quest, you need to meet with Taros Dralom - the NPC that wears a mask and is always located at the Altar near the Hidden Area of the Arena (Vivek city).
Taros will ask us to go to Balmor, where a character named Balin Omawel lives - he will need to be poisoned with poison. The house of the victim is located near the house of Kai Cosades. It’s easy to get inside - just jump from one roof to another, and then break into the castle of the fiftieth level. Once in the house, pour poison and with a calm conscience (is it calm?) We go to report on the completed task. True this time, we will not speak with Taros Dral, but with the Altar of Mephala itself.
Additional information about the quest with the Khajiit Ring
We advise you to complete the quest at night, as in this case the character can go unnoticed. To use the poison, you just need to click on the "space" by hovering over the mouse arrow in advance. After that, an inscription appears, to which you must answer “yes”. That's all, the quest can be considered completed!
By the way, Khajiit’s Ring is also included in the list of available artifacts from Morrowind for Skyrim, which means that it can always be transferred from one game to another with a special mod.
