During the course of the Companions quest line, the weapon is reforged and is used to gain access to Ysgramor's tomb.Īfter placing Wuuthrad into the hands of Ysgramor's statue at the entrance of his tomb, you can take it back straight away and continue along without affecting the rest of the quest.
