Where To Find The Akaviri Sunderblade In Oblivion Remastered
To get theAkaviri SunderbladeinOblivion Remastered,players should travel to the Imperial City Market District, and find the shop known asThree Brother’s Trade Goods. Inside, they need to cross their fingers to findSergius Verus, one of the owners of the shop, who is not always there but roaming around the city, so players won’t be able to barter with him outside.
Once they manage to find Sergius, they should prepare5100 Gold(or less,depending on their Merchantry Skill level) to purchase the blade from him. The Akaviri Sunderblade is an enchanted version of theAkaviri Katana, witha dual 100 Weapon/Armor Disintegration Enchantment. This particular combination of traits is what makes this weapon completelyoverpowered, since it will break enemies' armor and weapons in just one hit.
The Disintegrate Weapon / Armor Spell / Enchantment, depending on its strength, will causeX% of damageto a certain piece of equipment. For example, a 20-point Disintegrate Weapon damage will cause 20%of the weapon’s total durability in damage. In the case of the Akaviri Sunderblade, this is turned into a 100% weapon/armor damage on the targeted enemies, causing them to lose the bonus armor and damage their equipment grants them.
