📋 About This Mod

"It is only by my hand, by my face, my heart, my spirit

that either I will wither, or I will bloom,

I will become as green land, as tilled earth

I will germinate, I will sprout."

-Aztec Proverb

You have met monsters vast beyond measure, slaying them and ripping trophies from their flesh. You have protected the shores of Skyrim and her people. You are a Monster Hunter. The tales of your exploits spread far and wide, bringing others to seek out your services. It seems there are other waters out there which hide their own monsters. A noble from Cyrodiil has come to Skyrim, looking to hire a hunter. She speaks wild tales of a cult, a sload, and a monster, far away in the jungles of Black Marsh. Will you help her? Will you stop this monster? Or be consumed by it?

The Sunken God awaits you in the Marsh.


This quest will continue the adventures of Here There Be Monsters.  The hunt will lead you to a far-away outpost in Black Marsh and pit the player against a blood-thirsty Argonian cult hellbent on awakening a vast and all-powerful crocodile god, Cipactli.  While there you will encounter strange peoples and even stranger monsters.

The quest will not activate until after the player has defeated the monster known as the Curruid during the quest "Hunter of Monsters" in the first mod.  After defeating the monster, stepping foot on the Chaoskampf again will trigger a woman named Galeria Richton to start following you.  When you talk to her, she will try to hire you, and from there the quest begins.

-A new worldspace in Black Marsh, featuring Argonian & Kothringi villages, swamps, jungles, lakes, and ancient Imperial & Xanmeer ruins!

-All the terrifying flora and fauna you would expect in the dreaded Black Marsh!

-The Legion, a blood-thirsty cult that fashions themselves after the ancient Imperials they slaughtered long ago!

-The Black Tribes of the Naga, vicious beasts that dwell in the ancient Xanmeers!

-The last tribe of the Kothringi, the savage silver-skinned humans of Black Marsh!

-Tons of new weapons, new armors, new spells!

-Several giant monsters to battle, including the dreaded crocodile-god Cipactli!

-Custom soundtrack with exclusive pieces from Paleowolf and Jeremy Soule himself!

-I tried to make this quest slightly more of a mystery/hunt, so it will take some exploration when you first get to Black Marsh to figure out what to do.

-Some people have found this easy to miss if you don't have quest markers turned on, so to actually travel to Black Marsh, you need to activate the anchor chain on the deck of the Chaoskampf.

-If Galeria dies on her way to Solitude, you will need to find her body and get he sea charts
