📋 About This Mod

Konahrik, the champion of the dragon priests, was never dead. Though he was felled in battle during the dragon war, his soul was preserved in a soul gem and divided amongst powerful dragons for safekeeping. Now that the Dragons have risen up again, Konahrik's return may soon be at hand. It's up to you to stop this great evil from rearing its ugly head once more.
INTRODUCTION
The Konahrik mask to me was disappointing in two ways. The first is that the enchantment it has isn't all that interesting, especially considering the amount of work you have to put in to actually get the mask. The second is that there's no story to it, except some dead guy who was trying to get it for himself. No sign of any Konahrik dragon priest, no explanation as to why it's locked away, it's just kinda there. This mod attempts to address both these grievances.
OVERVIEW
This is a quest mod that aims to add some lore behind the unique mask, Konahrik, as well as to improve it's enchantment somewhat. To begin the quest, go to Bromjunaar sanctuary in Labyrinthian and read the new bloody note under the skeleton lying there (not the hired thug's missive; this is an entirely new note). From there, you'll be directed to the dead man's colleague, who will ask you to bring him the Konahrik mask from within Bromjunaar. Then, with his guidance, you'll take on the mighty Keeper Dragons to re-assemble Konahrik's soul gem and take him out for good. Once you defeat the eponymous priest, you'll get an improved version of the Konahrik mask with an even more powerful enchantment than the original.
Konahrik is no ordinary Dragon Priest. He is a warlord who sought immortality, and as such he is proficient with elemental attacks and has reinforced his mask with powerful healing magic.
The fight with Konahrik is broken down into stages. Whenever you get his health down to 10%, he will fully heal and you will advance a stage.
Stage 1: Fire - Konahrik will use flame magic against you, and will reinforce himself with Stoneflesh.
Stage 2: Ice - Konahrik will use frost magic against you, and will reinforce himself with Ironflesh.
Stage 3: Lightning - Konahrik will use shock magic against you, and will reinforce himself with Ebonyflesh.
Stage 4: Last Stand - Konahrik will use absorption magic against you, and will reinforce himself with Dragonhide.
In stage 4, Konahrik will prioritize draining your stamina and magicka first. If he gets both of them low (<25%), he will switch to very powerful health absorption magic, so be sure to bring plenty of stamina and magicka potions to keep that from happening!
THE MASK
After you upgrade the mask by slaying Konahrik, it will gain a lot of new powers. Most notab
Adds a quest expanding the lore of the Konahrik mask and its dragon priest, plus an upgrade to the mask's enchantment. For Skyrim players who want more depth around a legendary artifact. Well-received with 560 endorsements and 23,159 downloads.
