It has been whispered of for centuries, longer perhaps; A sword of great power that finds its way into the hands of a champion, during times of great peril to Tamriel. It has been called by many names: The Flame of Red Mountain, Alduin's Tongue, and others that have been forgotten in the mists of time. There is one name, however, that is known, yet unknown; familiar, yet unfamiliar. It is the one name that shakes the confidence of the mighty, or drives them to seek it.










The Infinity Sword is a unique, powerful greatsword that deals fire damage. The sword can be found in the Aetherium Forge, embedded in one of the rocks floating out in the magma.

To get it, you'll of course need to get to the Aetherium Forge first, which requires you to do the Lost to the Ages questline, which is standard to Dawnguard. Said questline is started by reading the book titled 'The Aetherium Wars'. Getting to the sword itself is a different story, though, since you have to traverse the searing molten rock. Using Become Ethereal is invaluable for this, but ya gotta be quick.

When equipped, the Sword grants you a high resistance to fire (And some to frost as well, 'cause frost ain't got nothin' on it) as well as a bit of health regen. On top of this, as long as the sword is equipped, fire-based attacks will do less damage to you, while your fire-based attacks will do more damage. Those you hit with the sword will suffer in its flames.

The unique thing about the Infinity Sword, though, is that you're not restricted to melee swingings. Have a problem with some jag-off archer pecking you with arrows? Make that jerk fly by doing a horizontal power attack, which will launch a fireball from the sword and send it speeding toward your target, where it will detonate with a great blast of fire and toss that SOB into Secunda. Surrounded by a lot of opponents and you need some breathing room? Do a vertical power attack, which will create a powerful explosion centered on you and send your opponents reeling, so you can belt them across the face while they burn to death. The sword can also be particularly devastating to dragons, but under special circumstances that I'll go into below. Of course, that requires you to actually get into melee with one.

On top of all that I've mentioned so far, the sword can be powered up. If you're hit enough times by fire-based attacks, the sword will get supercharged. When this happens, you can launch a fire WAVE that detonates with much greater force than the standard fireball, and the localized explosion becomes more powerful too. However, performing the power attacks will use up the charge, so use them wisely. Also, while it's powered up, the Infinity Sword will burn your foes into a pile of ash, save for Dwarven automatons, which will MELT. Dragons will also be adversely affected by the sword in this state. This doesn't affect the power level.

The sword is 2-handed when you find it, but if your expertise lies with 1-handed, no problem. You can take the Infinity Sword to a smelter and switch it into a 1-handed sword without needing any ingots, materials or perks to do so. The sword can also be tempered, requiring an ebony ingot and some fire salts to soup it up.
