Skyrim Battles - Hydra vs. Falmer, Zapstaag, Mehrunes Dagon, and more

[@zackattackr.p.g]

The battle between Zapstaag and Mehrunes was epic! Love these videos

[@lSlendermaster]

Awesome to hear! 😎

[@patpaul6251]

Wow, I didn't expect you to include him there! But I was wondering how he would fare against this beast. I was actually surprised he won, that poison was incredibly powerful and I didn't give him any resistance to it. Luckily, his healing spam was enough to sustain. I'm hyped for the next video now!

[@lSlendermaster]

I was hoping it would catch you off-guard! 😆 Yes, I wasn't expecting him to win either. His healing is incredibly fast. And I hope you'll like the next episode! 😎

What’s the magic resistance and elemental resistance of Dagon?

[@lSlendermaster]

@@Supcharged 30% magic, no specific elemental resistance!

@@lSlendermaster so we can have him vs a big bunch of dunmer mages🤔🤔

[@stayfunberrymoodsky7779]

Finally, the good video I've been waiting for! Between Hydra and Zapstaag, I bet on Hydra and was very surprised by the unexpected turn that Zapstaag won. 🙂

[@lSlendermaster]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, Zapstaag is very hard to take down 😄

[@theresaurus9820]

What’s that supposed to mean? “Finally, *the good video* I’ve been waiting for”?

[@pieisgood2372]

4:05 Zapstagg was like, "Man, y'all too easy for me, I'm out!"

[@lSlendermaster]

Actually accurate! 😂

[@Up2Eight]

Awesome! Another epic set of fights here. More Hydra! More Mehrunes! Your videos just get better and better!

[@lSlendermaster]

Thanks a lot! 🥳 Mehrunes will get his own episode next week, and he'll also get to fight Zapstaag in the future!

@@Up2Eight Awesome! 😎

[@noahkirkwood441]

I love how the Hydra gets pissed and jumps back at Zapstaag from Zapstaag frying him 😂 He took that personally 😂

[@lSlendermaster]

And halfway through the fight, Zapstaag gets bored and just leaves 😆

[@joe-darkfire32]

Just when I thought Hydra was a busted NPC, I see Mehrunes Dagon just incinerate him 😭😭 that is absurd work

[@lSlendermaster]

Daedric Princes are on another level 😆

[@sanghiiin]

Zapstaag bringing storm was awesome, but man Mehrunes bringing the apocalypse on one hydra was another level lmao, bro had no time to play he had to conquer Nirn

[@lSlendermaster]

"This is my opposition? How easily I shall crush them" 😆

[@Psycholikesgames]

One for the history books

[@lSlendermaster]

A new song for the bards 😎

[@InsanityLuc]

Mehrunes Dagon...level 350, around 1.5 times the health bar of Karstaag, making Mehrunes Dagon the strongest custom creature, I have seen in your videos so far (endless levelling enemies not included). Ironically Mehrunes Dagon has one exploitable weakness, the hydra used against him. Mehrunes Dagon is sensitive to poison damage which is a weakness all incarnations of Karstaag don't have.

[@lSlendermaster]

You're completely right! If you want to guess: Who do you think will win between Zapstaag and Mehrunes Dagon?

[@InsanityLuc]

@@lSlendermaster I think Mehrunes Dagon would win, due to his extremly high damage output and his ability to heal himself so much in such a short time span. In this video alone, I saw him spam Grand healing 9 times in a row, causing him to regain 3000 health points, which is almost as much, as Karstaags entire healthbar. If Zapstaag has 90% damage resistance against fire damage alone (which would grant him a health bar of 60000 points), I still doubt if that would be enough due to his low damage output in comparison with Mehrunes Dagon's health bar. Mehrunes Dagon was peforming his health regeneration recovery trick 3 times in a row before summoning a small army of 5 high levelled Dremora to cause a distraction. I also saw the new that strange ''fire tornado spell'' causing the Hydra to get stunlocked. Zapstaag can only win, if he somehow gets Mehrunes Dagon magicka bar low enough, causing him to stand still in a corner, which means we would be watching a battle where Mehrunes Dagon would not be doing anything anymore, while Zapstaag beats him to death.

[@lSlendermaster]

​@@InsanityLuc Good guess! Zapstaag can't get stunlocked by anything because I implemented some mechanics that make him immune to stagger for a few seconds whenever he recovers from a stagger animation. On the other hand, Mehrunes Dagon can also deal extreme melee damage once an opponent gets close, which will be seen in my next video. The fight with him against Zapstaag will come sometime next year. And it's a hell of a fight. Thanks for your comments!

[@redwind5150]

Mammoth vs drauger would be a good one, I think.

[@lSlendermaster]

I've done a Draugr Death Overlord vs. a giant and a mammoth here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5C1qJmqaM-lrKs

[@jakoblarsson1926]

Nice episode! I wasn't expecting to see Mehrunes Dagon, but he got to flex his destructive muscles for sure! What's some episodes your looking to release soon? Miraak vs Solitude, Riften, Markarth or Windhelm would be nice. I would also like to see his cultists invade Whiterun. Some more opponents for Vahlok: Uthgerd The Unbroken and Ulfberth War-Bear Marcurio and J'Zargo Harkon 2 Bandit Chiefs 2 Werewolf Vargrs Hamelyn

[@lSlendermaster]

Thank you! 😎 Yes, and he'll continue doing so next week! 😆 Aside from Dagon, we have a Chaurus Hunter, Malkoran, as well as my first Harkon episode that features his boss mechanics! I have actually made a Riften raid with Miraak, but it's not uploaded yet. Probably one of the hardest towns to conquer! Miraak is great for most battles, so I can see using him again for other cities. 😄 Cultists sound good too! I tend to forget about them. I've recorded a Vahlok episode by now, just last week, and it was absolutely awful. He's one of the most broken Dragon Priests. The episode actually isn't bad, but the production was super frustrating, so no promise I'll try that again soon. 😅 I'll still write down your requests! I've thought of Harkon too, but ultimately decided on another NPC for the final round. Probably worth a try next time then!

[@jakoblarsson1926]

@lSlendermaster You're Welcome! Nice! Can't wait to see that Harkon episode! As well as some more Malkoran action! Honestly, I forgot about those cultists as well, and only remember them recently because of the Frea episode you did a while back. I recently achivied the Oblivion Walker Achievement, I only have the Ongma Infinium left out of all Daedric Artifacts. I have also defeated most of the Skyrim Dragon Priests (with the exception of Nahkriin and Morokei). Also i beat Malkoran relatively easily in my current playthrough, because i used a resist frost potion and a resist magic potion, as well as Otar's mask (which gives improved resistance against fire, frost and shock damage). So Malkoran's otherwise overpowered attacks became about as strong as that of a normal Necromancer's. I only died once, and it was only because his shades ganged up on me. I have a few questions: 1) Malkoran or Thoron? 2) Werewolf or Vampire? 3) Sven or Faendal? 4) Warrior or Mage? 5) Dark Brotherhood or Thieves Guild? 6) Man or Elf? 7) Orc, Khajiit or Argonian? 8) Honningbrew mead or Black-Briar mead?

[@lSlendermaster]

​@@jakoblarsson1926 Awesome! 😎 And hey, good job with the achievement! Do you know what you're going to use the Oghma Infinium for? Frost and magic resistance are definitely a good idea when fighting Malkoran! I believe I had around 70% when I fought him last time, so he wasn't that much of a threat anymore. 1) I like Malkoran just because it's fun seeing his ice storm tear through everything. The ridiculousness behind it is satisfying. 😂 But I generally prefer Thoron because he's also very good on other maps and he's much more versatile, having an atronach, more magicka, etc. 2) Werewolf! While I like the lore of the vampires more, I don't like all the debuffs that come with being a vampire. For NPC fights, I prefer vampires though! 3) I dislike both Sven and Faendal because of their fake letterss. 😆 I guess Fandal is better as a follower, but I don't use them anyway so it doesn't matter much to me. 4) I usually start as a warrior, then add magic to my playstyle. I think destruction magic is very unbalanced in Skyrim, considering how much melee and arrow damage you can get out of your weapons, while magic damage is very limited in comparison. I usually stick to a one-handed weapon and a shield, or dual-wield if necessary. 5) I can't stand either, but if I have to choose, I'd go for the Thieves Guild over the Dark Brotherhood. Theft is not as bad as murder. 😆 6) I'm fine with both Man and Elf and don't care as long as the personality is nice. In my PS3 playthroughs I was always married to Brelyna Maryon. 7) Hmm, Orc, Khajiit or Argonian... I'd say Khajiit because I like the way they talk. 😂 8) Honningbrew mead simply because I don't like Maven. She's one of the few characters that I really can't stand. Why can't she be a target of the Dark Brotherhood? I might join just for that! 😆

[@jakoblarsson1926]

​@lSlendermaster Thanks! I'm not sure just yet what i'll be using it for. 1) Same here. I like both, but i prefer Thoron because of his versatility and because he's nearly naked (that's funny as hell). 2) Same here as well. Vampires has a bigger lore, but Werewolves has a better afterlife. 3) I dislike both of them as well for how childish and moronic they are. However, to an extent i do find it amusing. Faendal is better because of his higher level cap and because he can train you in archery. I do think however that they could've done something cool with Sven, because he's a bard they could have made him perform his music while you're out for adventure. Basically he'd act as your own personal bard and hypeman. I think it would have been a nice novelty, but i think most people (including myself) would eventually get sick of him. Also even though Faendal can train you in archery, you can do that with plenty of other archer characters (such as my wife, Aela the Huntress). 4) I'm mainly a warrior, but i'm trying to combine both styles for more fun gameplay. 5) I don't like either one, but in terms of concept i like the Dark Brotherhood more because assassins are cooler than thieves. However in terms of rewards and quest, definitely the Thieves Guild. I wish you could destroy the Thieves Guild like you could with the Dark Brotherhood. 6) I have no issues with either, though i probably prefer men over elves. Like you said so long as they have a decent personality they're good. 7) I don't know. Maybe a Khajiit. 8) Yeah, same here. I dislike Maven. Also Honningbrew meadery is so iconic becase it's one of the first things you see when getting to Whiterun for the first time. Also Honningbrew mead is just a superior drink in game.

[@lSlendermaster]

​@@jakoblarsson1926 I actually kept it for display. I'm a collector. 😆 1) Cool! And good to know! Some people wanted me to equip Thoron with clothing. I didn't do that because I want to keep him as vanilla as possible, including the apperance. 2) True! 3) Ohh, the bard idea is really good. Would add some nice immersion. But yeah, he would need at least a wide variety of songs or it would be annoying quickly. 😂 4) Nice, same! I almost always use conjuration and healing spells as well, even when I go for a warrior playstyle. 5) Ahh yeah, I also want to destroy both. Sadly, doing that with the Dark Brotherhood doesn't work if you want all achievements :/ 6 & 7): Cool! 8) Yeah, exactly! Whiterun feels like home. Or Riverwood. That would be a nice place to live.

[@judinatheargonianthief1385]

I have never seen a npc like Merhunes heal himself at an incredible speed, he almost died twice XD The falmers were owned in not even 2 seconds o.o Zapstaag him, he didn't have too much pain, he could go hunting without any problem 😎 Excellent battle! ^-^

[@lSlendermaster]

Yeah, he's almost impossible to take down! 😂 That's how most NPCs go down without poison immunity if the Hydra gets a good hit. It's ridiculous to see 😆 Zapstaag did even better than I expected! Thank you! 😁

[@HJHWolf]

Dagon vs. Molag Baal(Vigilant) would be awesome!

[@lSlendermaster]

I don't have that mod and not sure if I ever will 😅

[@BrandonP8176]

I have some more fight ideas for future videos: - Forsworn Briarheart (shaman) vs. Movarth, Malkoran, Hamelyn, Savos, Teldryn Sero, J'Zargo, Marcurio, Serana, Illia, Drelas, The Challenger, and Thalmor wizard. - Ebony Warrior vs. Karstaag + Lurker Vindicator, Miraak + Legendary Dragon, Ralis + Frea, and Traveler + Nightlord Vampire + Nightmaster Vampire.

[@lSlendermaster]

I mostly avoid the Briarheart shaman because he's very resistant to magic but runs out of magicka quickly, so mage fights will take forever. It only really works if his opponent has either very little health or does massive damage. So I'm not planning on an episode with him, at least not for now. 😅 Although, here's one vs. Savos from a past video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqvVYoOQnsx3f5Y The Ebony Warrior doesn't stand a chance against Karstaag alone, so adding a Lurker to Karstaag would make it even less balanced. 😂 I've also done the Ebony Warrior vs. Miraak in various different setups and have quite a few more requests already. I'm not sure if that's getting old. Same goes for the vampires I'll think about it! Ralis and Frea are too weak to put him in any danger. Maybe for an intro round sometime 🤔

[@austinkirby7472]

You should do the bosses from colorful magic

[@lSlendermaster]

Almost all of them are made specifically as player opponents and have 90% physical damage reduction against NPCs, which even stacks with armor. That makes them incredibly tanky and just unbalanced for NPC fights 🤷

Why are there so many severed heads during the zapstaag round?

[@lSlendermaster]

It's almost the same amount in the Dagon round, he just kills them quickly enough. 😆 Some of them also have a delay, so if the main body dies early, not all of them will appear
