In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, Daedric Armor is the best heavy armor in the game, however it requires a high skill, and a pretty rare item for each piece you want to make.
Skills Needed for Daedric Armor Smithing
In order to craft Daedric Armor, you need to get your Smithing skill to 90 and purchase the Daedric Smithing perk.
Note that even though the perk tree loops around at the top connecting Dragon Smithing and Daedric Smithing, you can not currently purchase the Daedric Smithing by going through the light armor perks, you must go through the heavy armor smithing in order to reach Daedric Smithing.
Parts Needed for Daedric Armor Smithing
How to become a werewolf in Skyrim (and have the most fun at it) According to Elder Scroll lore, lycanthropy originated as a blessing bestowed upon mortals by the Daedric Prince Hircine. Hircine, Father of Manbeasts, would gift this disease to those who had won his favor—followers and hunters of great prowess. Once you're in the Pelagius Wing, you're given a Daedric artifact after a bit of dialogue. I was lvl 10 for this. To get into the Pelagius Wing, you can clear out Wolfskull Cavern so Falk will like. I was roleplaying a hero character & ended up helping Molag bal or whatever by killing sum mage in an abandoned house. Now i don't feel right being a hero so i joined thieves guild but i wanna know if there's a way to kill molag or even his kin so i can redeem my character.
You’ll need a single Daedra Heart for each piece of Daedric Armor you make, which are quite rare and only drop off of Daedra. The best place in the game I’ve found to farm Daedra Hearts is at The Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon, in the mountains east of Morhal. Four Dremora will spawn there every few days after you do the “Pieces of the Past” quest line from Silus Vesuius in Dawnstar.
Alchemist merchants all over Skyrim have a chance to stock Daedra Hearts as well but they are fairly rare, and I would suggest buying them any time you see them if you plan to make any Daedric Armor. Enthir in the College of Winterhold often has Daedra Hearts, and using the trick to reset a merchant’s inventory should allow you to buy several in times of need.
The other parts you’ll need to create Daedric Armor are Ebony Ingots and Leather Strips. Leather Strips can be purchased easily from any armor merchant, and Ebony Ingots will eventually be sold by the same vendors as well once you reach a certain level, but if you need them earlier than that you will have to find Ebony Ore and smelt it. One of the best places in the game to find a lot of Ebony Ore is in Gloombound Mine southeast of Windhelm, near the Orc fort Narzulbur.
Daedra are creatures and sentient beings that can be found across the vast expanses of Oblivion. Only two of these types of Daedra appear in Skyrim, however: the atronachs and Dremora. Despite the lasting ramifications of the Oblivion Crisis, conjurers across Tamriel could not resist the allure and power associated with summoning Daedra and attempting to command them. Many of these summonings are successful and those Daedra serve their masters without fail, but even more summonings go wrong and result in unbound beings turning on their masters.
There are far fewer unbound 'wild' Daedra in Skyrim than there were in the previous two Elder Scrolls games, Morrowind and Oblivion. Narratively this makes sense - Daedra-worship was always part of the Dunmer culture and was thus comparatively common in Morrowind, even during the reign of the Tribunal, and there were still many Daedric ruins there where unbound Daedra of all levels from Scamp to Golden Saint could be found: but there are no such ruins and no such cults in Skyrim at all. And since the Oblivion Crisis (and the closure of the Oblivion Gates which seems to have mostly shut unbound Daedra out of the mortal plane), the world has largely - and probably justifiably - turned away from Daedra-worship, with the exception of those still revered by the Dunmer. Even among them, only Azura retains her open popularity - even Boethiah and Mephala, also revered by the Dunmer, have suffered by comparison: and the Orcish cult of Malacath still persists in their strongholds, though not so much among Orcs who live in the wider world. Other Daedra Lords seem to have faded away to a last few cultists meeting in secret - some of them diseased (Peryite) or no longer even alive (Clavicus Vile's dozen or so vampire cultists). Molag Bal has fared perhaps worst, having no remaining actual worshippers, and being kept in the memory of Skyrim only by a Boethiah cultist who comes to mock him with a hatred so strong that it actually sustains him by acknowledging him.
Even summoned Daedra are not what they used to be: a caster can no longer soul-trap his own summoned Atronachs or Dremora to fill soul gems, although he can soul-trap the summoned beings of another caster.

Atronachs are intelligent elemental Daedra that can be called forth from Oblivion to serve a conjurer in battle against his or her foes. Atronachs are all immune to paralysis, cannot be reanimated, and cannot be made invisible by any means. Dremora are manlike beings that are treated as NPCs in-game rather than as creatures, and therefore have stats, resistances, and perks more suited to that, as detailed on their page.
Flame Atronach[edit]
Flame atronachs appear as female humanoids engulfed in flame, wearing intricate, black, metal armor. Though they are the weakest type of atronach encountered in Skyrim, they are extremely agile and reasonably proficient in close combat. Flame atronachs prefer to use their flame-based magic at a distance and will actively try to avoid melee combat if at all possible. While typically found in the employ of enemy spellcasters, the player can also conjure them and use them in battle. As these atronachs levitate, they therefore possess the innate ability to walk on water. When slain, unbound flame atronachs will drop Fire Salts, an alchemicalingredient.

Frost Atronach[edit]
Frost atronachs are Daedric constructs of solid ice that resemble over-sized humanoids. They have a long melee reach and their attacks usually stagger targets, but they are entirely lacking in ranged options. Still, once caught in melee range of them, their chilling cloak slows targets and prevents easy escape. They can be summoned by you, and are occasionally used against you by enemy conjurers. All frost atronachs have the innate capability of breathing underwater, which is relevant because they are also the only variant of atronach present in Skyrim that does not hover above the ground. Upon death, unbound frost atronachs will have Frost Salts on their remains that can be looted.

Storm Atronach[edit]
Storm atronachs are Daedra of elemental shock. They appear as a cluster of rocks quickly revolving around an unseen, electrified center of mass. Storm atronachs can be encountered as a hostile enemy, usually summoned by an enemy caster, or you can summon them to aid in combat. Like flame atronachs, the storm atronach hovers and thus has the Waterwalking ability. In their destroyed remains, you will find Void Salts that you can take.
It is worth noting when considering storm atronachs for summons that storm thralls lose the ability to cast the powerful Chain Lightning spell when compared to the storm atronachs themselves. In this case, it may be wiser to simply recast Conjure Storm Atronach as needed for the more powerful summon.

Dremora[edit]
Dremora, like atronachs, hail from the planes of Oblivion, but unlike atronachs they possess a malicious sentience and directly serve the Daedric princes in their pursuits. These ruthless beings are obsessed with destruction and have their own variants and ranks. They can wear Daedric armor, have powerful fire spells, wield blazing weapons, and be among the most difficult of foes to defeat. Dremora can be summoned by you with the Conjure Dremora Lord spell, and are a component in many quests. All specific information related to Dremora, including their ranks, roles, and stats, is captured in greater detail on the Dremora page.

Ash Guardians are atronach-like ash creatures found in various locations throughout Solstheim. They resemble the Storm Atronach except they are encased in stone rather than lightning. They can be summoned and will attack unless they feed on heart stones. They are most often found with magic users or the similar Ash Spawn.
Ash guardians can be conjured once you have completed the quest From the Ashes. They do not occupy a conjuration slot if summoned without a heart stone.
For more information, see the Ash Guardian article.
Lurker DB[edit]
Lurkers are Daedric creatures that come from the murky waters of Hermaeus Mora's realm of Apocrypha. They appear as giant amphibious humanoids, and serve their Prince by guarding forbidden knowledge. Lurkers attack with swipes of their huge hands, and use their long legs for stomping attacks, which have a 100 point stagger effect within 16 feet. They can also attack from afar by spewing tentacles from their mouths. They are very dangerous opponents, and should be fought one at a time. They also have the ability to regenerate health.

Seeker DB[edit]
When idle, Seekers usually conjure a book from thin air and begin to read. While you are undetected, they may become mostly invisible with only a smoky shadow giving away their location. Some varieties seem to, while in this invisible state, flit about the area very quickly. This can be especially surprising to sneaky characters, because very soon after they are shot with an arrow, they can appear right in front of you. Also surprising for sneak-oriented characters, Seekers' magical attacks seem to automatically strike you while they are searching for you, even if you are still undetected. These abilities make the Seeker a formidable and nerve-racking opponent for those that prefer a stealth approach.
All varieties of Seeker will summon a somewhat weaker clone to aid them in battle. This clone has less health and will disintegrate when its parent Seeker has been destroyed.
You can loot Seeker remains for various books including spell tomes but not unread skill books (from the base game and Dragonborn) and scrolls (only from the base game) when they die.

Golden Saint CC[edit]
Golden Saints are humanoid golden-hued Daedra that use golden avian-themed armor and weapons. They are primarily aligned with the Daedric Prince Sheogorath, and are very intelligent and generally hostile. Despite their angelic figure, they are a proud, arrogant race who are quick to anger and cruel in their punishment. All specific information related to Golden Saints is captured in greater detail on the Golden Saint page.
Dark Seducer CC[edit]
All Daedra In Skyrim
Dark Seducers are scantily-clad, humanoid Daedra that use dark serpentine-themed armor and weapons. They are aligned with the Daedric Prince Sheogorath, although their allegiances are known to be flimsy. Unlike their counterparts, the Golden Saints, Dark Seducers are generally polite and patient when interacting with mortals. All specific information related to Dark Seducers is captured in greater detail on the Dark Seducer page.
Related Quests[edit]
Some quests that require fighting or interacting with Daedra to complete include:
- Hitting the Books: Find the books needed to identify the artifact found in Saarthal.
