The more you explore the lands of Skyrim, the more different weapons you will find. While common weapons can be found simply by opening chests and killing enemies, unique ones are only found in certain places. So, in this guide, we will tell you how to get the Drainblood Battleaxe in Skyrim.
This unique Battleaxe is one of 4 ghost weapons that players can find. In addition to a good ability and unusual appearance, it also has quite high damage.
Skyrim: How to Get Unique Soulrender & Bloodscythe
Soulrender and Bloodscythe are pretty good scimitars in Skyrim. Here's how to acquire both of them.
Where to Find Drainblood Battleaxe
Almost all unique weapons are hidden in deep dungeons all over Skyrim. And Drainblood Battleaxe is no exception to the rule, as you can find it in the ancient Nordic ruins called Labyrinthian. But to get there, you will have to befriend the mages.
So, visiting Labyrinthian is part of The Staff of Magnus quest. This is the seventh quest of the Mages Guild, so first, you will need to spend time on quests in the College of Winterhold. We also recommend that you come prepared by stocking up on regeneration potions, as well as shock-resistant potions and equipment.
Labyrinthian is a rather large and confusing dungeon in Skyrim. Of course, it has a lot of Draugrs and Skeletons. Besides them, players will have to face Morokei the Dragon Priest, who is a tough enemy, especially if you haven’t reached at least level 20 yet.
Despite this, Drainblood Battleaxe awaits you much earlier than the encounter with the boss. Also, in the upper levels of Labyrinthian, you will encounter several spectral Draugr. Each of them wields a unique ghost weapon, including the Drainblood Battleaxe. So, as soon as you see an enemy with a ghostly Battleaxe, kill it by any means. After that, all that remains is to loot the desired Drainblood Battleaxe in Skyrim.

Drainblood Battleaxe Stats
Of course, Drainblood Battleaxe looks very unusual due to its translucent spectral form. Its base damage is 23, and unfortunately, you cannot upgrade it on grindstone, precisely because of its ghostliness. Spectral form also has its advantages. While the usual Battleaxes weigh over 20 points, the Drainblood Battleaxe weighs only 5, making it one of the lightest two-handed weapons in the game.
Also, the Drainblood Battleaxe has an enchantment that is guaranteed to absorb 15 points of enemy health per hit. And it is worth noting that players can disenchant it to get the Absorb Health enchantment.
