Hircine Quest Expansion - The Hunting Grounds

This mod vastly overhauls the experience of the Hircine Daedric quest. Normally, in the quest you speak to the god of the hunt and he tells you of your legendary prey, the Unicorn. Sounds awesome, until you realize the Unicorn is just standing still in a field 150ft south, and you just have to beat it to death slowly. Very underwhelming hunt.

With this mod, when you arrive at the Harcane Grove you will find a strange cave entrance. Enter it and you will find yourself no longer in the forests of Cyrodiil, but in the Daedric Realm of Hircine, the Hunting Grounds. Here you will find several unique and powerful bosses. Prove your worth as a hunter and slay Hircine's Champions. There is a lot of treasure to be found here, including new daedric artifacts, but there's also many dangers.

If you are not the Hunter, but are the prey, there is still a way for you to survive the hunt. Using Stealth and Acrobatics you can skillfully avoid the bosses and head straight for the Unicorn, and you can find the secret Cursed Arrow. This arrow is enchanted to instantly kill the Unicorn cleanly, no gruesome beatdown for the majestic beast.

If you are lost, follow the Withering Moon plants. I've placed most of them around loot and pathways. In general though, the dungeon is just a circle with a couple of side areas, and its intentionally supposed to be a bit hard to navigate in some spots for that real lost in the woods vibe. I recommend doing the quest at night, around 9pm.

In general, this mod is a healthy mix of Morrowind's Bloodmoon Mortrag Glacier, Skyrim's Bloated Man's Grotto, and ESO's March of Sacrifices.

Important Info - One of the Unique weapons this mod adds is a recreation of a weapon from skyrim, the Glass Bow of the Stag Prince. It's not well explained in game, so the details are here. The bow will give you increasing buffs as you kill animals with it. Specifically, it is looking for it's target to be in the "Creature" faction. You get a new buff at 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 kills, and the buff is only active when you have the bow equipped.

You can also activate the shrine of hircine within the dungeon to receive the blessing of hircine. Sometimes it doesnt shoot the spell correctly from the front, just circle around to the side of the statue and the blessing will come from his ass
