📋 About This Mod

Have you ever noticed that most dungeons have random bosses and only a select few have named ones? And also, ever noticed that even the named ones can also feel the same and a very few are unique?

Well not anymore. The majority of vanilla dungeons now each have a unique boss to fight based their names, strategies and appearances. Several years ago, there was a great mod called Revenge of the Enemies. RotE did overhaul many of the bosses but only the ones that were already named and those in unique, exclusive locations. It also did edit some of the random ones like Draugr Overlords but Skyrim itself would still randomize bosses when entering dungeons. This mod is an addon to RotE.

Remember when you went to Bleak Falls Barrow at a low level, only to fight a Draugr Overlord or maybe a Death Overlord if at a higher level? Well not anymore. This time the boss will stay the same no matter what level you are at and will level with you. The boss will now be a lich instead. This mod uses many, but not all of Mihail's creatures. Huge credit goes over to Mihail.

Compatibilty:

Music mods: Should be compatible with almost all music mods as this mod does not touch MUSCombat. Instead, bosses have their own music type similar to how Lord Harkon, Karstaag and Miraak do.

DCS - Dynamic Customizable Soundtrack Music SE is compatible but the music from my mod will override any music dealing with Alduin, Ancano and Mercer Frey as music from this mod is scripted.

Creature mods: Monster Mod, Skyrim Immersive Creatures, Beasts of of Tamriel are completely compatible. All Mihail mods are also compatible too as they do not conflict with any records. Some monsters from his mods will be shared with the ones from here. In this case, you can overwrite them when installing his mods. I highly recommend them.

World Eater Beater: Compatible. Load World Eater Beater anywhere below this mod. All this mod does to Alduin is simply give him boss music. World Eater Beater does that too but a lot more. For anybody who is making patches with World Eater Beater and other mods that deal with Alduin, do not patch this mod with World Eater Beater.

Some of these bosses may be only 1 phase. However, several of them have a second phase similar to Malkoran from the vanilla game.

The locations of the bosses. Some are monsters, others are humans/elves/forsworn and several are dragons.

The new bosses are in these following locations:

Tovald's Cave

Fort Fellhammer

Snapleg Cave

Broken Tower Redoubt

Mzinchaleft, there is also a Falmer mini-boss there too shortly before the main boss room.

Clearspring Cave

Bruca's Leap Redoubt

Lost Echo Cave

Hag Rock Redoubt

Swindler's Den, while either before or after b
