📋 About This Mod
EBONY WARRIOR
ULTIMATE MOVESET OVERHAUL
This is my humble attempt to make the fight against the Ebony Warrior more challenging and interesting.
All of his animations (movement and attacks) are unique, making him a more special character.
------> THE FIGHT AGAINST EBONY WARRIOR WILL NOW HAVE TWO PHASES <------
It's nothing that epic, but I think it still looks cool :)
At the beginning, he attacks normally with a powerful and steady sword and shield moveset.
When he reaches 50% HP, he will enter Dark Slayer Form. In this form he will use a fancy and aggressive moveset.

The .esp is flagged as esl, so it will not take up space in your load order.
It also can be installed or uninstalled mid-game.
Compatible with Ryn's Snazzy Last Vigil or any other mod related to Ebony Warrior. No patches needed.

EBONY PRIDE - PLAYER ADD-ON
When installing the add-on (which is in the optional files), the Ebony Warrior will drop a ring named 'Ebony Pride'.
Equipping the ring allows you or a follower to enter Dark Slayer form.
Yes, it works with followers too! you just need to make your companion equip the ring.
Just like the Ebony Warrior, the ''transformation'' happens when the ring user reaches 50% or less HP.
When you reach the requirements (ring equipped and 50% HP) just attack. This will trigger the Dark Slayer form.
The Dark Slayer can be used with any weapon equipped, and each weapon type has a different aggressive moveset.
The effect lasts 60 seconds. It is not possible to interrupt it once it starts, you have to wait for it to finish.
There is also no delay in activating it again. it can be used as many times as you want.
