Look mom, I'm Arkt! [ENDGAME SPOILERS]

So during the first phase of the final boss, I attacked accidentally hit Arkt with a side attack. He was disarmed. I took his sword.
It's pretty nice, only slightly weaker than Goddawn Claymore, and with slightly more range. Looks cooler, too. The enchantment doesn't actually do anything.
Comes with an item description on loot (taken directly from TES lore) and a very nice Power. Isn't Fire Resist kind of useless when it also gives 100% Spell Reflect, though?
All in all, one of the best three swords in the game, barring the moneysink items.
Of course, I also disarmed it from myself in the second phase of the fight. If destroying fate doesn't destroy the world, the paradox of having two copies of a unique weapon sure will.
At any rate, I don't think the player is actually supposed to get it at all. But it doesn't have a script preventing it from being picked up by the player like the Eliath, so what the hey. Speaking of which, if you disarm the Eliath, her warglaives are named "Star Shortsword." And statistically identical, of course.
As an aside, you can obtain Sarantha's sword Grave Touch by the same means during the third phase, but it kind of sucks and isn't worth it except as vanity gear. Maybe during my next playthrough I'll make a mod that increases the strength of boss weapons.
Anyway, it's time to kill some enemies with a Rusty Iron War Axe to level my Strength while I plan another character. Next time, I'll disregard item progression and get Apocalypse at Level 1. Tune in then!
