When looking for the best greatsword in Oblivion Remastered, you might look at the local blacksmith or weapons dealer. However, you’d be looking in entirely the wrong place! The best two-handed weapon is surprisingly not made of steel or silver but rather a magical construct from the Mage’s Guild. This spectral weapon is a finely crafted magical contraption that deals lots of damage to foes. Learn how to get your hands on Bound Sword in your travels through Cyrodiil.
Where to Obtain the Mystical Bound Sword
The Bound Sword doesn’t appear during your dungeon crawling, unlike other weapons which can be found in crumbling ruins or guarded by beasts. Only a few select vendors associated with the Mage’s Guild sell this magical weapon. The spell can be purchased from three specific merchants.
- Athragar (Chorrol Mage’s Guild).
- Raminus Polus, Arcane University, Imperial City.
- Volanaro (Bruma Mage’s Guild).
The magical practitioners each stay in their own guild halls. So, there is no need to search through their cities’ streets. Spellswords on a budget can buy the spell from Athragar at the minimum price, making Chorrol an excellent place to pick it up. After getting your ghost weapon, consider treating yourself to a drink at the Grey Mare inn.
The Bound Bow, Bound Cuirass, Bound Mace, and Bound Shield are other pieces of equipment sold by these same vendors. Conscientious magicians should invest in the whole set and assign each to your quickslot wheel for easy access in battle. With these magical weapons, you won’t need physical weapons at all.
