📋 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 mod armor. Beat him, and you get the armor. Simple as that.

REQUIREMENT

Dragon Marauder(3BA/BHUNP)

NOTE: Female version has skimpy/nsfw armor parts!

RECOMMENDED(Optional)

TrueHUD - for Boss BAR

Any Combat enhancement mod of your choice that makes combat better

INSTALLATION

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

The Boss is called Grimgath the Corrupted Champion, a red-skinned and abnormal-sized Orc. (The pic above does represent his location)

Full set of Dragon Marauder(minus circlet and two skimpy armors) + a sword which he will drop upon death. Armed with a human-sized warhammer.

Abilities and Spells:

Has a lot of melee-focused perks. Deep health pool and enhanced fire breath shout.

24/7 Orc Berzerk powa!

Grimgath will use vanilla animation unless you have animation replacer for NPC-warhammer user

I don't provide animation in the file, but I already prepared the necessary folder and condition file for it. Only if you use MCO/SCAR/DAR(OAR)

Recommended: Elden Rim Moveset (the one I use in the showcase video)

Copy all the .hkx from Elden Rim warhammer folder(2500014) to this mod folder, there should be folder 7700025, drop all the .hkx there.

DON'T copy _condition.txt! only .hkx files!

If you want other animation pack, make sure it's already SCAR patched, otherwise the boss won't use combo

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 doomstonenorthernpineforest01 and go northeast to quicktest him.

    TRY NOT GET HIT BY THE GIANT HAMMER! or you'll fly... Flying sounds fun though.

    He is an unshackled huge-ass Orc, immune to ragdoll, paralyze, won't kneel before you, literally cause I remove his bleedout state.
