📋 About This Mod
Added 1H version of the axe, can be forged at any forge with Ebony smithing perk after defeating Kratos, using the 2H version. You can switch between the two.
Both versions of the axe can now be tempered.
The Kratos boss now has less max health but heals for more when enraged and takes less damage.
The Kratos follower now takes less damage when enraged and regenerates health more quickly, but entering bleedout will now instantly end the rage (so he can't get up and start pounding right away)
Fixed dirty edits that caused the mod to sometimes overwrite Jenassa's face.
Kratos now no longer has a custom race. Just a nord now, so compatible with body replacers and the like.
Fixed bug with 1H version not showing up. Fixed form type.
Introduction:
So I saw Ghosu's Leviathan Axe model a while back, and my immediate thought was "Damn, that looks cool" and "I wanna throw it at some nerds" but unfortunately that mod itself was just a resource and the axe wasn't functional ;_;
Like any self-respecting modder, I took it upon myself to fix that, and 48 hours later, here we are.
The Leviathan Axe:
The axe is fully functional. Like the Leviathan Axe in God of War, it can be used as both a ranged and a melee weapon. The base stats are similar to an ebony battleaxe, but with much less reach. It has an enchantment that deals frost damage and has a small chance to freeze enemies. But, if you power attack, the axe gets thrown out as a projectile, damaging enemies from range before boomeranging back to you. Forward power attacks send the axe spinning vertically, creating a frozen explosion where it lands that has a high chance to freeze targets hit, but also a longer recovery period before you regain the axe. Backward and sideways power attacks send the axe spinning horizontally, dealing damage to all enemies in a line instead of exploding, and returning much faster but with a much smaller chance to freeze. Standing power attacks do not throw the axe, and throwing the axe briefly reduces your stamina recovery, so you can't spam it quite as much as you'd like.
Specifically,
Leviathan Axe
Attacks deal 25 points frost damage and have a 6% chance to freeze units hit for 3 seconds. Forward Power attacks throw the Axe, causing it to explode in a 15 foot radius, dealing 60 frost and 60 physical damage with a 40% chance to freeze for 3 seconds. The axe returns after 2. 5 seconds. Sideways and back power attacks throw the axe, dealing 40 frost and 40 physical damage to all enemies in a line and having a 25% chance to freeze. The axe returns after 1. 5 seconds. All units hit by the flying axe or the explosi

✅ Pros
