The Atronach Forge and Crafting

In this guide for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, we will show you where to find the Atronach Forge and how to use it. The Atronach Forge is unique among forges because it allows you to summon special objects and creatures. We provide a complete list of operations to perform after interacting with the forge.

The Atronach Forge is located in a special place called the Midden, which can only be accessed after joining the mage’s guild and entering the College of Winterhold (sector 3, number 5). There are two hatches to enter the Midden, one in the Hall of Countenance and another in the college’s main square (screen above).

Once you are in the Midden, you will need to explore and defeat several monsters to find the Atronach Forge, which is located in the eastern part of the area (screen above). You should also look for an instruction manual on one of the nearby tables before attempting to use the forge.

To use the Atronach Forge, you need a sigil stone, which can be obtained as a reward for completing a ritual conjuring spell at the College of Winterhold. Once you have the sigil stone, place it on the pedestal in front of the forge (seen on the screen above).

Using the Atronach Forge is simple. First, interact with the offering box in front of the forge. This will open your inventory (screen above). Then, place the required items in the offering box by pressing the R key. The correct combinations of items are listed in the table below.

SUMMONED OBJECT / CREATURE	MATERIALS (you can place them in the box in any order you want)	COMMENTS
Daedric helmet В	1x black soul gem 1x ebony helmet 1x centurion core 1x daedra heart	You cannot perform this action until you have placed a sigil stone on the pedestal. The soul gem does not have to be filled. The centurion core can be found while exploring dwarven (dwemer) ruins.
Daedric bow	1x black soul gem 1x ebony bow 1x centurion core 1x daedra heart	You cannot perform this action until you have placed a sigil stone on the pedestal. The soul gem does not have to be filled. The centurion core can be found while exploring dwarven (dwemer) ruins.

After placing the required items in the offering box, close your inventory and pull the nearby lever (seen on the screen above). If everything is done correctly, you will successfully summon an object or creature.

To perform this action, you need to place a sigil stone on the pedestal. The soul gem does not need to be filled. The centurion core can be found while exploring dwarven (dwemer) ruins. The recipe for crafting various Daedric weapons and armor includes 1x black soul gem, 1x ebony weapon or armor, 1x centurion core, and 1x daedra heart. The same requirements apply to all items.

To perform certain actions, you need to place a sigil stone on a pedestal, but the soul gem doesn’t have to be filled. The centurion core required for making daedric boots and gauntlets can be found in dwarven (dwemer) ruins. Conjurer’s Elixir requires ectoplasm, a soul gem, and an empty bottle, and you can choose any type of soul gem. To make Atronach Staffs, you need a soul gem, broom, and specific salts and ore/ingot. For Atronach Tomes, you need specific ingredients and a ruined book, and you can summon the spell book if you don’t have it. To make a Soul Trap Tome, you need a soul gem.

To summon the spell book, choose any type of soul gem, even if it’s not filled. You’ll also need a salt pile and a torchbug thorax, which are both alchemy ingredients. Additionally, you’ll need a ruined book if you don’t have access to the Soul Trap spell.

For random and enchanted daedric armor, you’ll need a filled great soul gem, a daedra heart, void salts, and an ebony ingot. As for daedric weapons, the recipe is the same, but you’ll need a silver sword instead of void salts.

If you’re looking for a daedra heart, you can use a black soul gem and a human heart. This is a useful operation because daedra hearts are rare and used in alchemy and smithing.

For frost, fire, and void salts, you can use any type of soul gem, even if it’s not filled. You’ll also need a salt pile and a specific gemstone for each salt.

If you want to summon a Frost, Flame, or Storm Atronach, you’ll need specific ingredients depending on the type. Each atronach can only be used once, and they will be hostile towards the main character.

Lastly, to summon a Dremora, you’ll need a skull, a daedra heart, and raw meat.

The dremora that are summoned will attack the protagonist. To obtain the raw meat, it can be purchased, found, or obtained by killing an animal such as a horse. The skull must be that of a human.
