Disarmed in Skuldafn Temple

I was disarmed of Mehrune's Razor in Skuldafn. It managed to evade my notice at the time. Is there any way of retrieving the blade? (Xbox) — Unsigned comment by 96.28.88.230 (talk) at 13:25 on 9 February 2012

Once you leave Skuldafn you cannot return. — Kimi the Elf ^{(talk | contribs)} 19:33, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

if you are on PC, use console command player.additem then the code then the number of items, all on one line. — Unsigned comment by 67.164.33.239 (talk) at 23:01 on 17 August 2012

Insta-Kill?

When it says "A Small Chance" what does that actually mean? Is there a percentage value for the Insta-Kill? And if so does it level? — Unsigned comment by 184.166.78.129 (talk) at 02:51 on 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Check the article, it's one percent.--Br3admax 02:52, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Where did you get 1% from? The article does not mention a percent. However it would be good to have this information. — Kimi the Elf ^{(talk | contribs)} 19:27, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Looking at the creation kit, it clearly wants to be a 1% chance, but it looks like it's actually 2/101. The random number generator they're using looks like it generates numbers between 0 and 100 by default, and they're comparing the kill chance as <= 1. That would mean that it's 2/101 chances. I'd need to confirm that I'm interpreting the behaviour of that function (Utility.RandomInt() if anyone's interested) correctly, though. – Robin Hood↝talk 05:26, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm looking at the kit right now, and I agree. The code:If (Utility.RandomInt() <= 1). According to the kit's website, the utility spits out a number between 0 and 100 inclusive, and if it's less than or equal to 1 (in other words just 1 or 0 since it's an integer number) then the target dies. So the chance is 2 out of 101 (1-100 plus 0) or 1.980%. I'm going to add it as a bug and submit it to the bug database on the off chance people are still working on it. Edit: Was already submitted and supposedly fixed, but I double checked the patch version and it is not. Resubmitted.

Edit: So I submitted the bug on the [site] and was told that it had been fixed. I double checked using the Creation Kit on the USEEP ver 4.1.2 and it looks to me to be unchanged. Can anyone else please confirm one way or another, please? -Caraamon (talk) 00:58, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Cant upgrade past flawless?

I have 100 in smithing and the ebony smithing perk and I cant upgrade it past flawless— Unsigned comment by Zodiak VII (talk • contribs) at 01:59 on 11 April 2012

The razor does not benefit from any smithing perks, so if you look at the table here, you'll see that flawless is the highest possible improvement. Wolok gro-Barok 11:13, 11 April 2012 (UTC

The only solution is to use blacksmith potions then improve it to legendary.— Unsigned comment by 173.61.151.231 (talk) at 17:46 on 12 April 2012

Follower?

I have marcurio as a follower, picked him up just after I picked up the razor, does this effect work when wielded by a follower? i.e. does he have a chance of instant kills or is it only when wielded by the dragonborn? (68.226.109.62 07:46, 13 April 2012 (UTC))

Yes, instant kill if follower use this... i have tested with a mod of 100% chances to kill and give a copy of blade for a soldier in the war. He kill with one hit all enemy soldiers... I put this to my follower and she kill a elder dragon with one hit in Master dificulty. — Unsigned comment by 186.232.46.66 (talk) at 03:17 on 24 June 2012

I tested this on the xbox. Used a Dark Brotherhood Initiate. The Razor's effect will work on other NPCs (as long as they're not essential) and the player... maybe watch out while your follower is swinging the weapon :p Crailfron 14:58, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Duplicate Mehrunes razor

I'm on ps3. Just came back into my house in windhelm and found a second Mehrunes razor on my dagger rack. However there wasn't one when I left the house as my follower had it equipped and still does now I have two woohoo.KingK 20:00, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I believe there are a lot of bugs associated with Hjerim and its weapon racks and mannequins, duplication being one of them, and it can be exploited for making copies of whatever equipment you desire. So I wouldn't be too surprised if something gets duplicated in your rack once in a while. And good for you for the 2nd Razor; now you can dual-wield them for better insta-kill chance :) --Psylocke 20:17, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

I know I'm using Jenassa so she dual weilds them. I've linked the duplication to the armour glitch where u can dupe that. It seems the house reboots when I go in due to the mannequins gaining the armour. As when I go in there is some major lag then stuff seems to dupe itself. KingK 20:26, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

On the other hand I wish I knew what caused this. It's a he'll of a find. KingK 20:28, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Any Special Effect?

I played a long game with Mehrunes Razor as my main weapon, but I never really noticed it causing instant kills. I suppose it wouldn't help that I spent a lot of my time slitting throats which would be instant kills anyway, but I'm curious if there's actually any kind of special effect or textual message to confirm when the effect has worked? I believe the dagger in Oblivion said something about Mehrunes Dagon claiming the victim's soul. -- Haravikk (talk) 12:47, 9 November 2012 (GMT)

It's just a akTarget.Kill() in the script, and no special message. --Alfwyn (talk) 13:43, 9 November 2012 (GMT)

Fortify One-Handed

While wearing a ring that fortifies one-handed by 55%, I noticed that my razor's damage remains unaffected. I'm wondering whether this is a bug. Did anybody else notice the same? — Unsigned comment by 80.130.145.28 (talk) at 22:49 on 21 March 2013

It's not a bug with the dagger, but with the enchantment. Silence is Golden^{Break the Silence} 22:56, 21 March 2013 (GMT)

Might be a glitch, or maybe my character just had chemo

I was sneaking up behind Nazeem a few days ago, getting ready to kill him (Muffled up, bow drawn) for being so....Nazeem, and then I decided "Nah, I'm doing this with the Razor" and switched. Then my Dragonborn's hair disappeared. I reloaded the save multiple times, always no hair once I equipped the Razor, and uneqipping didn't rectify it. I eventually decided to just go out and do stuff, hope it worked itself out (it eventually did). It might be that one save file, I can get that one to do it, but not my ones after or before it. Can I get a little insight here? Is there really something going on, or is just this a petty one-off straight from Dagon because I insulted him? Ranyroo (talk) 20:06, 28 October 2014 (GMT)

The Razor used alongside Valdr's Lucky Dagger.

So it seems as though (PS4 Pro, Special Edition, no mods or unofficial patch, some CC installed) that using Valdr's Lucky Dagger in the offhand with the Razor as the primary weapon, the 25% crit chance from Valdr's is applied also to the Razor's instant death %. Is this a known thing, or is my search-fu too weak? I havent as yet tested this with the daggers reversed, but the effect is otherwise very real, as rampaging through Falkreath gave me plenty of examples of the Razor proccing, way above the expected 1-2%. I thought to add it to this page, but didnt want to just be barging about messing things up, when I havent contributed before. (I discovered this in the comments on a Youtube video. One of ESO's if I remember right) — Unsigned comment by 212.140.251.226 (talk) at 10:54 on 19 July 2019 (UTC)

So I ran a few quick tests using both of the daggers simultaneously in three different ways to try to replicate your results. I was hitting mammoths standing normally and I have no perk points into one handed, so it would be immediately obvious if I scored an instant kill vs when I do not. The first test I had the Razor left handed and Lucky Dagger right handed, where I just used duel wield attacks. The second test I had the Razor right handed and Lucky dagger left handed, where I just used duel wield attacks. The final test I had the Razor right hand and the Lucky dagger left handed still, where I just used regular single attacks on the Razor. None of these scored consistent instant kills, in fact I got only got a single instant kill on the first test. If it was 25% like you claim, the probability of scoring an instant kill is 1-(0.75^n) where n is the number of hits. I hit them over a couple dozen times per test. 1-(0.75^24)=99.899% chance of occurring per test. If used the regular 1.98% chance instead, 1-(0.9802^24)=38.119%. I think it's obvious which is more plausible considering I did three tests and only saw an instant kill on one of them. ~Anon — Unsigned comment by 68.175.131.82 (talk) at 09:42 on 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Alduin Immune?

A recent edit claims that Alduin is immune to the insta-kill of Mehrunes' Razor. While he is not a member of the relevant faction, it seems plausible that the World-Eater would be immune to this. --Xyzzy ^Talk 18:06, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

As far as I have been able to find, Alduin can be killed by the one hit kill effect of Mehrunes' Razor, after Dragonrend.217.120.80.77 10:14, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Likewise, I was able to get the insta-kill effect to trigger against Alduin. Although we don't want to start listing every NPC who is not immune, I've added a note stating that Alduin isn't immune to eliminate any further confusion. --Oriwa ^Talk 00:18, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
