How to obtain Longclaw?

[dovahbear]

Well how? Do i need to use Morghs editor? Or there is another option? And no, killing Lord Comander of nigths watch didnt help.

You need to kill John Snow

[dovahbear]

But how? I cant even capture him.

[Indo95]

face him in battle, with your own guys, find him in the field, take him down, and take his sword. it should be in the loot menu after

[dovahbear]

Nope its not

[dovahbear]

Was it working for you?

Does it matter if I'm a king or just a mercenary or in someone's army? What if I'm in the Lord Commander's Army and I wack him from behind and take his weapon? (that actually works in ACOK). What if I just pick a fight one day and then pay a fine to the NW the next day?

And by "take his sword" do you mean find the sword on the ground and pick it up and then it will appear in inventory?

You can use save editor, find Longclaw's item ID and edit one of your inventory slots to have it and you're done.
If you can't sort yourself out I'll put a detailed instruction if you need it.

if you want longclaw you should now be able to get it. Jon will become lord commander if you do the main quest and when he becomes lord commander you'll have the option to kill him and get longclaw.

[Uhtred of Bebbanburg]

Do you mean kill him or knock him out?

What do you mean by the "main quest"? I've gotten as far as Crastor's Keep quest but no option to kill Jon Snow.

I'm just curious. I don't really need Longclaw and if I have to kill JS then it's definitely not worth it. He's had it hard enough without me stabbing him in the back.

It is more difficult . When u finish that quest (actually already before that quest ) Jon Snow become a lord commander of Night Watch. That mean you can fight against him in battle and if u are lucky enough you can cough him and make him your prison. You can speak with him as prison and there will be high crime dialogue ,and you can kill him there . That will give all his epiqupment to you . You can do like this with every lord or enemy companion character . But it's not worth it ,because you will lose huge amount of relation with every faction .
And ofc everyone love Jon .

To add to this: Killing a lord will give drastic punishments with every faction and lord in the game, so it is not recommended as you will find yourself at war with the entire map. The easier way of doing it is by having King's Landing first, which allows you the option of sending them to the Wall instead (same process, but a new dialogue option). This will make them vassals of the Nights Watch, and only gives negative relations with lords from their original faction, and it still gives you their items.

Actualy can u send Jon to the Wall is he is already there ? Sounds weird

[Dunk the Castle Wall]

Good point Egg, haven't tested whether you can send lords of the Nights Watch to the Wall. What an oversight by me!

Will test it now, edit this post with result later.

Edit: Only managed to capture one of the several lords I "defeated" in battle, and of course I could not send him to the wall. Problem is that it was a lord I had already sent to the Wall before, so I can't be 100% certain on which part of the interaction prevents it, but it is safe to assume that you indeed cannot send people already at the Wall to the Wall. Silly of me.

While we're at it, does Jon ever become King in da North?

I've heard there is a Red Wedding but I haven't gotten that far in my current Static play through.
