📋 About This Mod
Just like my Dragons Use Thu'um, Bethesda included 10 shout sounds for the 3 heroes but never properly implemented them. So I attempted to make the final Sovngarde Battle less dull by giving all three 8 fully voiced shouts! I highly recommend to use this along side my Dragons Use Thu'um as I made this mod to alongside with that one, since Dragons Use Thu'um gives a variety of fully voiced shouts to Dragons(including (Odahviing, Paarthurnax, Alduin). I edited the vanilla shout sounds to make them with Audacity and edited the AI of the Ancient Nord Heroes so they all use 8 of their shouts. I owe this to LeoneKingzz and EdmondNoir since those two helped me immensely with AI, magic effects and conditions. So go give them some love for their amazing efforts!

SHOUTS OF THE ANCIENT HEROES
Unrelenting Force (Fus Ro Dah): Similar to players Fus Ro Dah, Dragons will throw you and other NPCs backwards.
Fear Aura Dismay (Faas Ru Maar): The shout that will make NPCs will run away in fear. And stagger Alduin.
Disarm (Zun Hal Viik): The shout that disarms NPCS, technically useless against Alduin but still kinda coold for them to use.
Ice Form (Iiz Slen Nus): The shout will freeze anyone for 3 seconds.
Become Ethereal (Feim Zii Gron): The Ancient Heroes will become ethereal and be impervious to any damage for 10 seconds, or until they attack again.
Frost Breath (Yol Toor Shul): A frost wave shout that is similar to Dragonborn's Fire Breath.
Fire Breath (Fo Krah Diin): A flame wave shout that is similar to Dragonborn's Frost Breath.
Dragonrend (Joor Zah Frul): The most iconic shout of the Ancient Heroes, they will bring Alduin to sword's reach should you fail to do so!

RECOMMENDED MOD
Try out my DRAGONS USE THU'UM I made this mod specifically to go with this!

It's a small, focused enhancement for players who want a more epic showdown. With 328 endorsements and recent updates, it's a community-approved tweak.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 328 endorsements and over 10k downloads.
- Recently updated (December 2025), so it's likely compatible with current setups.
- Turns a scripted fight into a real brawl—those heroes finally pull their weight.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the base Dragons Use Thu'um mod, so it's useless without it.
- Only affects the final Sovngarde battle—if you want shout-based combat elsewhere, this won't help.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the Ancient Nord Heroes or the Sovngarde scene.
For Skyrim players who already use Dragons Use Thu'um and want the final fight against Alduin to feel more epic. If you're a lore enthusiast who thinks the heroes should actually fight, this is for you. Skip if you don't use the base mod or want broader shout changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the base Dragons Use Thu'um mod installed first, or this addon won't work.
- Load this addon after the base mod in your load order to ensure the changes apply correctly.
- If you use other mods that edit the Sovngarde battle, test early to avoid conflicts.
