At level 46, this weapon will inflict 40 points of damage to dragons per hit, making it one of the best dragon-killing blades in Skyrim. This blade is also leveled loot and has the appearance of a katana with a unique effect that targets dragons.
Picking up the weapon will instantly transport players away and complete the quest, so it is advisable that they loot the temple before obtaining it. The quest will consist of clearing the Kilkreath Ruins under the statue, at the end of which players will find the Dawnbreker on a pedestal. To get the quest, players must find a Meridia’s Beacon, which spawns randomly in chests at that level or travel to the Statue of Meridia to the west of Solitude. The Dawnbreaker can be obtained as soon as level 12 by completing the quest “The Break of Dawn”.
