📋 About This Mod
This little mod tweaks the Forge of Hilbongard slightly to make it a little more unique. The pictures show pretty much all the current changes.
For those who don't know, the Forge of Hilbongard is a unique location in the Daedric shrine of Anudnabia. It is the location where the artifact Skull Crusher is found. Previously, the chest in which the hammer is found is an ordinary WOODEN chest floating over a pit of churning magma. Since I didn't want it to catch fire, the chest has been hung from heavy chains and reforged in metal.
A small dungeon tweak mod for the Forge of Hilbongard, making it more unique with visual changes. With 257 endorsements and nearly 28k downloads, it's a niche but popular choice for players seeking subtle variety in that location.
