📋 About This Mod

The idea came from the insatiable thirst for satisfaction of getting a cool armor mod dropped from a boss, RPG style.

Most cool armor mods are obtainable by crafting/chests/AIM. Why not make a boss-level NPC that drops said armor? lets go!

This mod basically adds a boss in the world that wears BDOR Mountain Spirit Armor. Beat him, and you get the armor. Simple as that.

REQUIREMENT

BDOR Mountain Spirit Armor(SE version)(choose No Craft in FOMOD so it won't clutter your crafting menu)

(it requires HDT-SMP/FSMP, also has 3BA bodyslide AFAIK)

RECOMMENDED(Optional)

TrueHUD - for Boss BAR

Any Combat enhancement mod of your choice that makes combat better

EldenRim Weapon Arts - has animation for it, but not tested

Smart NPC Potion - So he can drink the potion he carries

INSTALLATION

Manual? Starfield is at the horizon and you still install mods manually? you do you I guess

Load order? let LOOT decide it. Should be load early

Tower Standing Stone

He is there, killing anything that moves

THE BOSS

The Boss is called Dreadstorm, he casts weather changing spell as he buffs himself, hence the name. (The pic above didn't represent his location)

Custom DW Axe Animation if using MCO, also SCAR so he can combo those animations.

I also put DAR animation for EldenRim Weapon Arts, but I don't use that myself, kindly report to me if he's using it.

Equipment: BDOR Mountain Spirit Armor Set + Dual Axe(with HP Absorb, the other STAMINA Absorb effect)

He drops all the sets plus the weapons, unenhanced. Also some stuff.

Abilities and Spells:Has a lot of melee-focused perks, he is basically a dual wield berserker with a ton of HP

Stone Flesh, Iron Flesh, Ebony Flesh Alteration Magic. He's always recast those when they run out.

Stone Flesh spell has been altered to also change the weather to snow storm.

DIFFICULTY

2 Difficulties, both of them are intended for high level players

  • []Normal: Level 30 minimum, max 100(scaling with Player)

  • Dovahkiin and Friends Must Die: level 50 minimum, max 100(also scaling), higher HP offset.

    coc doomstonesnowy01 to quicktest him. Beware, he doesn't like his personal space invaded.

    He can be killed by pushing him off the ledge, but the easiest way to do it is unavailable. yes, he is immune to ragdoll by fus ro dah ;)
