Madness Ore is an extremely rare resource available in the Saints and Seducers DLC. With it, you can craft one of the best armors in the game, although it will be quite heavy. And here, we’ll show you where to find and how to forge Madness Ore in Skyrim. Both of these steps are quite complicated, so get your horses and swords ready, and let’s get started.

How To Obtain Madness Ore in Skyrim

As mentioned above, Madness Ore will be quite difficult to obtain and there are generally two ways to do it. The first one will be interesting for those who like fights and challenges and involves killing bosses in dungeons. You can find a lot of dungeons traveling around the world, but you should be well-prepared before the fight because these bosses are powerful. As soon as you kill one of them, you can loot the chest to get a variety of rewards, including Madness Ore.

The second method will appeal to players focused on completing quests. In this case, you will need to follow the storyline of the Saints and Seducers DLC. When you complete this quest line, you will receive a letter from Ri’saad informing you of new items for sale. From there, all you need to do is find the Khajiit merchants. Ri’saad himself is located between Whiterun and Markarth, but if that’s too far for you, you can go in search of another merchant who can be found on the path between Dawnstar and Riften.
