Very nice, Slender. Vyrthur did well against those Ash Spawn once he started kiting properly. Also, I was surprised to see the Ash Spawn take fire damage at certain points. Figured they were immune to fire. Still things to learn in this game. Just out of curiosity, have you ever done a rematch between Miraak and Alduin since getting Miraak to work properly? I know you had that match in one of your earlier videos, but Miraak didn't use his sword and other abilities, so it was pretty one-sided in favor of Alduin. We've seen Miraak beat some pretty tough opposition since then, and I would enjoy seeing a proper battle with the two of them performing optimally.
Thank you! 🥳 Ash Spawn have a 75% resistance to fire. Today I also found out that they're immune to all drain life spells. The more you know! I will definitely try that rematch! I'm thinking I'll do it several times; Alduin against Miraak in a basic 1 vs. 1, and vs. Miraak in Apocrypha, featuring his boss mechanics. That will be a fairly complex episode, so I'll save it for a bigger special. 😅
Ahh, I've been wanting to do at least one episode about Arcwind Point. Miraak is a great idea! Also nice suggestions for the other Miraak setups! I have already done him vs. Falx. If you want to take a look: th-cam.com/video/koI86n-NI8Q/w-d-xo.html As for the Vindicator, I'll definitely try some of those too! I have done him vs. a Frost Giant here: th-cam.com/video/u_VA9pkan1M/w-d-xo.html And vs. the one-handed Soul Cairn Keeper here: th-cam.com/video/aM6WjfnpFXc/w-d-xo.html
Ironically enough. I can predict most of the outcomes of these battles since I remember how strong most of the enemies were since the first day I played Skyrim. A Miraak raid outcome can't be predicted so easily due to all the factors that have to be taken into consideration but Miraak would win against all the enemies you just mentioned. The ones Miraak would struggle against the most would be Soul Cairn Keeper, Vendill Severin, Mercer Frey and Forsworm Briarheart (melee). Lurker Vindicator is the strongest ''heavy enemy'' in the game and he would win against most of the enemies you mentioned, but he could lose against Dragon Priest and Soul Cairn Keeper.
@@InsanityLuc Good predictions! Miraak will definitely dominate, so I might put him against multiple opponents. As for the Lurker against the Soul Cairn Keepers, I think only the mace Keeper will be a really close match 🤔
Wish Vyrthur would’ve summoned his Ancient Frost Atronach, according to the wiki it’s much stronger than a regular Frost Atronach. Though there’s a bug that prevents him using it in the quest fight anyway, instead he summons a regular frost one.
It's a scripted event that has nothing to do with regular summoning spells, so he can't use it normally. Although it would be possible to mod it in, I don't know if that should be done. After all, scripted fights are quite different from normal ones 🤷
Savos and Neloth vs Ildari, Thoron and Malkoran (Savos and Neloth as duo against those three, but separately)? Miraak and Thoron, Thoron and Ildari or Miraak and Ildari vs Ebony Warrior? Solsteim Dragon Priests (except Vahlok) vs Miraak (with boss mechanics)? Vahlok, Vokun, Krosis, Rahgot, Nahkriin and Otar vs Karstaag? Ancano and Estormo vs Morokei? Vahlok vs Falx or Tsun? Vahlok vs Mercer and Astrid? Vahlok vs Vilkas and Farkas? Vahlok vs Kematu and his 6 Alik'r Warriors?
Savos & Neloth: Both together would destroy Ildari with ease, unless she gets lucky, so that's probably not great for a video. Them against Thoron and Malkoran could be nice though! Always great getting ideas for interesting Malkoran setups especially! Ebony Warrior: I'm surprised I haven't thought of those setups yet. 😂 I'll see which ones are good! Solstheim Priests vs. Miraak: Also quite interesting. I have done Miraak vs. Ahzidal and it was almost even. I do believe the 3 together will destroy Miraak even with his boss mechanics, but either way, probably a nice match! Karstaag vs. Dragon Priests: I'm thinking about putting him vs. the 8 masked Skyrim Priests. And against the Ebony Warrior as well! I noticed you left out a few but added Vahlok. The frost and shock-based ones will be mostly meat shields against Karstaag, but I think they'll still be a challenge combined. 🤔 Ancano & Estormo vs. Morokei: Goes straight on my list! Vahlok vs. Falx, Tsun, Mercer & Astrid, Vilkas & Farkas: I'll be making a Vahlok episode. They might have trouble navigating in his room, but good ideas still! Vahlok vs. too many NPCs will probably be too annoying to record. It'll already be a challenge to get good shots in his room 😅
@lSlendermaster Always nice share ideas with you! Looking forward to see what video will be next! Yeah, I left out some of the Dragon Priests because the frost ones can't do any damage to Karstaag, and others i left out just to keep it a little balanced. I mostly just added Vahlok because to me he just seems like a vanilla Dragon Priest (I know he's not, he's part of the Dragonborn DLC). As for Morokei vs Ancano and Estormo, I remember you having him go up against Ancano in the past, so i thought "how would he fare against Ancano and Estormo?". And for all the Vahlok matchups, I just thought he'd make a good charachter to dedicate an episode to. Unrelated question: what do you think of Mercyful Fate? If you haven't heard them, I'd recommend the album "Melissa".
@@jakoblarsson1926 Thank you, and thanks for watching! 😎 I see! Vahlok is technically identical to a generic fire-based Dragon Priest, so you're right! We'll see how the Dragon Priest fights go. They're all super buggy anyway, but I have spent a lot of time on some fixes, so that should help. Ancano and Estormo together makes a lot of sense, yes. Ancano is actually fairly good, but Thalmor run out of magicka too quickly. Hmm, I don't think I've even heard of them. 🤔 A heavy metal band, I assume? 😄
@lSlendermaster You're Welcome! Yeah, they're a heavy metal band from the country below mine and above yours (If you couldn't tell i'm talking about Denmark). Their singer also has a band named after him, King Diamond.
If I understand the ending, that Ash Spawn just became a Dragonborn, right? Also, I wish that Scourge Draugr would have been decapitated. He was setup perfectly for it.
Truth be told, my character was simply close enough to absorb the soul. 😆 But I also thought it looks like the Ash Spawn got it instead. And damn, you're right about the Scourge! 😆
@@jonathansnyder5307 Once you start that dlc, I don't think it matters where you are, there's a chance Miraak can steal your dragon soul until you go and kill him. I don't know if he can do it if you're in an area from a mod, I don't even know if there are any dragons in the mods, but I'm pretty sure nowhere in the main game and dlc is safe from Miraak.
@@iainmawhinney8867 Actually the opposite: I usually add myself to the opponents' factions so they won't attack me. Many of the NPCs in my videos are hostile towards each other by default, so it's not a hard requirement to make them fight, but it's awful if they attack the player too 😂
Good call! Ash Spawn are immune to it because they have a hidden keyword that classifies them as Dwarven, so they resist the drain life spells like Dwarven machines. It's weird 🫠
@@lSlendermaster I think they were made immune on purpose, since they are creatures resurrected from ash without blood in their bodies. In order to program them quick and easy, they were probably classified as ''Dwarven'' rather than making an entire new class called ''Ash Spawn''.
@@InsanityLuc Oddly enough, Ash Spawn do have a keyword unique to their race as well, so I don't know why they didn't use that instead. I can only imagine they didn't want to edit the drain life spells to consider that keyword as well 🤷
I think the ash spawn summon spell is also really cool! They have 75% fire and 100% poison resistance. Nothing else, which is also why enemies like the Riekling Charger and Sahrotaar did full damage with each hit 😆
I don't know how to feel about the fact that Vyrthur seems to be roughly as strong as 2 Level 40 mobs :v Sure you could argue he was at a disatvantage due to being weak to Fire, but that's not really an excuse lol Also, do NPC Vampires suffer from the same daytime debuff as the player? If so then that could have affected the outcome as well...
Vyrthur is actually a really good warrior, but a mediocre mage. He has a lot more potential for sure 😄 Yes, they do! At least generic vampires; Vyrthur himself doesn't have those debuffs. I did his rounds at nighttime anyway because it feels more appropriate 😄
@@lSlendermaster makes sense tbh, both Vyrthur & Gelebor are as "high priests", basically "Paladins" who are at their best when using Magic & Melee in equal measure. What's interesting tho is their stat sheets basically feel like they fill in each other's weaknesses. Kind of curious how strong the two would be if they fought together tbh
@@filipvadas7602 Gelebor is super weak and not meant to fight, sadly. We would have to do a lot of modding to make him worthwhile. Similar to Sanguine 😅

10 would be insane. If Vyrthur could take them, he would be one of the strongest bosses in the game. Probably better than Miraak, with Miraak being double his level 😆
I think ash spawns are some of the coolest looking enemies in the game. I've always liked their orange glowing eyes.
