Introduction & Fight

The mod adds an optional boss fight to Soul Cairn. It includes a small new castle, customized battle AI with unique spells, attacks, perks, items and abilities. And high quality voice acting. For attacking, Lord Yorma uses a mixture of swords and blood/shock/frost magic. He is weak to fire magic, just like every other vampire.

Lord Yorma switches between four different combat styles and uses scripted abilities to make fighting him feel even more unique. In fight, he can be accompanied by Volkihar accomplices as well as gargoyles from his castle. His voice lines are situational, so overall fighting him should feel like a fresh experience even if you have to do it many times.

His castle can be found from the eastern part of Soul Cairn (near soulcairnpoirj02). The fight is completely optional and after killing him you can loot his swords as a reward. The swords are modest in power when wielded by others, to not introduce power creep

Level 50 & Level 160

Two versions are available. Level 50 is more in line with vanilla balance and is similar in difficulty as vanilla level 50 enemies.

But if you want extra challenge, you can instead download the level 160 version.

Asset Credits

Huge thanks to gearshout for open permission on asset use for Vampire Royal Knight Armor and CaBal120 for written permission on texture use. The armor that Lord Yorma is wearing is unobtainable from my mod (it wouldn't really make sense, since the boss is wearing a much larger size of it than the player. Also, since I only had public permission for the asset use from gearshouts mod page, and wasn't able to directly contact him, I made it unobtainable out of respect). If you want the same armor to your character you need gearshouts amazing Vampire Royal Knight Armor from here: https://www.nexusmods.com./skyrimspecialedition/mods/63021
