Nightingale Bow

The Nightingale Bow is a bow given to you by Karliah as a reward for completing the quest Blindsighted. Its enchantment causes instantaneous frost damage, shock damage over one second, and slows the target down for three seconds. Tempering the Nightingale Bow requires one ebony ingot and the Arcane Blacksmith perk.

Bugs

• All Nightingale Bows have their sound set incorrectly to "normal" instead of "silent" unlike all other bows, meaning that using the bow will make you easier to discover when using stealth.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 1.1, fixes this bug.
• This weapon is not affected by any smithing perks.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch addresses this issue. It causes the weapon to benefit from the Daedric Smithing perk.
