World Eater Beater

We are thrilled to bring back World Eater Beater!

Fully tested, optimized, converted, and ready for AE/SE, this overhaul of Skyrim's anti-climatic final boss will become a staple of your load order. Initially, we will be uploading a version of the mod that is simply the original but updated so all the mechanics work correctly and you can properly play through the entire mod. In the future, we'll release our own alternate take on it with new effects, mechanics, level design, and more, all with the intention of making it suit as many play styles as possible.

Let's face the facts, Alduin as a boss fight was an anticlimax to the max. By the time we faced down the foul wyrm, we were not only a walking tank, but flanked by three legendary glowy heroes. All he did was shout some meteors at us, and then we punched him, and then he exploded.

Alduin was, in short, disappointing. Let's fix that.

World Eater Beater is a boss fight overhaul similar in style to my Morrowind mod "Versus Vivec". It takes an existing boss, and actually makes them  not suck.

"But trainwiz" you drool at me, "Don't ther be already mod what make the Alduin strong". Well the thing is, they usually just beef up his health and make his attacks ridiculously overpowered. That's not my goal. My goal is to completely re-script and redo Alduin into something worthy of the title of "World Eater". So, the fight is now divided into five stages, each stage different in style from the last, with a host of new attacks, locations, and general world screwing-up.

The Fight Re-Imagined

The final boss is now split into five stages:

• []Stage 1: Similar to vanilla, except Alduin's melee attacks break holes in reality, there's a lot more meteors raining down on you, and his shouts split into smaller shouts (and so on).

  []Stage 2: Alduin grows enormous, blasts away the other Dragonborns, and devours you. Now in his stomach, dodge stomach worms, half-digested enemies, and acid as you trudge through the previous kalpas he's eaten. To succeed, hit the glowing red bits scattered around the map.

  []Stage 3: Alduin spits you out onto a now-eaten Sovngarde. Leap from broken island to broke island, as you shout incoming comets back into Alduin's face, and dodge his ice, fire, and force shouts that modify the very landscape you fight on.

  []Stage 4: Beaten back, jump on Alduin and ride him as he re-enters the atmosphere, whacking away sensitive glowing parts as they appear, all while watching your footing and the incoming debris.

• Stage 5: Reality re-assembles itself, and Alduin is mad. With extra damage, but low health, finish off the World Eater once and for all!
