📋 About This Mod
Anniversary Edition was a little disappointing to me, tbh... True, Bethesda no longer bombards you with Creation Club quests as soon as you load, but some quests are now so hard to find you need a guide to start them! The bigger creations suffer greatly from no new voice acting. ("It's all in this note..." only goes so far!) And one of the most impressive new creations, Necromantic Grimoire, has no quest, and only adds its refreshing new creatures as summons! This mod aims to correct at least the last issue.
According to Urag at the College of Winterhold, the mages at Fellglow Keep "were interested in research that goes outside the bounds of what the College allows," but nothing out of the ordinary is present in the vanilla dungeon. With this mod and Necromantic Grimoire installed, you will encounter as leveled enemies, the Bone Colossus, Cursed Spectre, Tortured Shade, Sundered Shade, Skeleton Champion, Skeleton Marksman, Skeleton Minion, and, if your level is high enough, even the Ancient Deathpriest! And to add more of the new creatures to the world of Skyrim, the Tomb Guardian, Skeleton Warlock and Haunting Spirit are added as leveled enemies to Hamvir's Rest.
This mod adds the new creatures from Necromantic Grimoire as enemies at Fellglow Keep and Hamvir's Rest in Skyrim. It's a small, focused expansion for players using that mod who want more encounters. With 224 endorsements and over 51k downloads, it has a solid niche following.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 224 endorsements and over 51k downloads
- Ties directly into Necromantic Grimoire, giving its creatures more presence in the world
- Targets two specific locations, so it's a focused addition without bloating the game
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Necromantic Grimoire, so it's useless without that mod
- Only affects two locations, so the impact is limited
- Last updated in 2022, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or other mods
For Skyrim players who use Necromantic Grimoire and want to encounter its creatures in the wild, not just in scripted encounters. If you don't have that mod, skip this. If you're looking for a broader creature expansion, this won't satisfy you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Necromantic Grimoire is installed and active before adding this mod.
- Load this mod after Necromantic Grimoire in your load order to ensure the creatures spawn correctly.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
