THE TEMPLE OF BLACK ROCKA new dungeon dedicated to very tough people having high leveled characters
Story
Close by Mzulft, lost since countless years, an abandoned site has been recently discovered, which leads to an ancient nordic temple.
What it hides? What mysterious forces are hidden behind the great entrance door?
The smell of death gets intense and stronger approaching the ruins, an ancient evil rules this place and keeps forgotten treasures along with restless spirits.
Will you last the Black Rock?
Suggestions
Before to install this mod a clean save is strongly recommended (This way you will prevent unexpected issues and you will know how to start back)
Installation
Download the .rar file, unpack it and put both files (mannyBlackRock.bsa and mannyBlackRock.esp) into your Skyrim/Data folder, then check it
into the game launcher menu (Data Files)
Available Translations : Italian ; Spanish ; Portuguese ; German ; Czech
Uninstall
Uncheck or delete both files. Be sure your character is outside the temple before to do so.
Details
Really professionally built dungeon, must have taken my lvl24 Vixen assassin at least 5 hours to go through totally using sneak and sniping then hiding to survive. Being discovered meant a quick death.
Lots of fun
Thank you
This dungeon is populated with VeryHard leveled enemies, it will be not easy to make it through and it requires quite tactics.
(Facing enemies horde tanking 'em could be not the most clever choice... Their Fus-Ro-Dah will drive you crazy!)
If your character is ranked below level35-40 do not even consider to survive playing this dungeon.
At the beginning it may look like a piece of cake but huge pain lies ahead, get your butt ready to be kicked hard.
This mod has been tested over and over again and it should be clean and bugs free. If you experience some crash, before to charge us guilty, consider other mods' fault or unavoidable conflicts, at least check it out please.
The dungeon is located nearby Mzulft heading north from Riften.
Bugs
We are far from perfect, so something could be missed of course. We will gladly take care about your reports and constructive criticism.
