Skyrim Battles - Red Eagle vs. Mikrul Gauldurson, Forsworn Briarheart, Dragon Priest, and more

The Red Eagle, also known as Faolan, is a legendary ancient king of the Reach. Gameplay-wise, he uses a generic draugr boss template, with the only difference being his unique sword. He's at his maximum level in this video (not considering him spawning as a Dragon Priest, which would make him the same as any other generic Priest).
I decided to put him against a few other unique draugr to show the differences. Even though him and Kvenel the Tongue often make for very close matches, the Red Eagle beats him consistently and rarely loses. It's interesting seeing him disarm Kvenel multiple times.

An thought to your description, I believe Kvenel has a set preset, being technically Draugr Deathlord, who is a lvl 30 character with 1000 HP and ExtraDamage2 perk. But, unlike Deathlord and Death Overlord, Kvenel is using armor set of a Draugr Scourge, which makes him kinda unique for such preset. :)

[@lSlendermaster]

Kvenel is very unique indeed! To my knowledge, he's the only draugr who can dual-wield his weapons because he uses humanoid animations, so he's technically a hybrid. And I think you're right about the armor, yes! 😄 I've seen him spawn at lower levels, and he doesn't have any perks. It can actually be a bit tricky to get him to spawn as a Deathlord. 😅 Thanks for your comment!

[@thatskeletordude5271]

It seems most of the matches (aside from the Briarheart one) are evenly matched, could be on anyone's favor. Nice work.

[@lSlendermaster]

Thanks! Finding proper matches is hard, so I'm glad it worked out!

[@InsanityLuc]

The outcome of these battles can varry a lot, but enemies fighting with both weapons are the most bizarre of them all. Forsworm Briarheart went from barely winning his battle, to defeating his opponent easily, by peforming a combo that almost took half of his opponents healthbar. Forsworm Briarheart was never an opponent, that stood out to me that much, but seeing him peform so well in NPC battles looks so strange to me.

[@thatskeletordude5271]

I always paralyze/ragdoll Briarhearts and pickpocket their hearts. Easiest enemy in the game.

[@lSlendermaster]

The Briarheart had a terrible first round. 😂 He usually doesn't struggle to beat the Read Eagle at all. They're not really hard to beat, especially with bows, but once they get close to you, they're absolutely brutal.

[@genericusername9299]

Very good video! This reminds me there is a mod that overhauls the enemies and bosses, known as Revenge of the Enemies, there is also Ultimate Boss Fight mod

[@thatskeletordude5271]

Revenge of the Enemies is pure cancer, doubt he'll use it. Like Valok the Jailer is unbeatable for NPCs cause of his OP Ancient Dragonborns.

[@lSlendermaster]

Thank you!! 😁 I avoid enemy overhauls, but I'll take a look at this mod's mechanics anyway. Maybe it fixes some bugs that I can learn from 🤔

[@amanda.7125]

Epic, love the bloopers!!😊😂

[@lSlendermaster]

Thank you! 😁 Yeah, that was a good one 😂

[@user-ff3jd4re8g]

Love your videos 👍 keep up the good work.

[@lSlendermaster]

Thanks! Much appreciated 😁

[@filipvadas7602]

4:02 this is the only one I don't get lol Did the damage get delayed or smth?

[@lSlendermaster]

I don't get it either. 😂 I'm pretty sure I have never seen it before. If you watch it frame by frame, you can see that the Briarheart is dealing damage several times very quickly, but I honestly have no idea how this particular mechanic worked

[@kleineHQ]

I remember when i first fought the red eagle, i struggled a lot lol Great video

[@lSlendermaster]

He can definitely catch you by surprise! 😂 Thank you!

[@Speedingv3]

i left one of ur clips in my community tab i got lower subs than u but i wanna help to support u guys! great clips as always man

Hey, thank you! I appreciate that, very nice of you! 🥳

I'm glad you like it! 😁

[@Argist1]

Good video What if Red Eagle has a Forsworn Dragur Texture and moveset like a (Kvenel the tongue) dual sword stile wheel be very interesting Enemy

[@lSlendermaster]

Thanks! 😎 He would be very OP because he would have more than 2.5 times the damage output of Kvenel 😂

[@callumtorrance9180]

Never understood why red eagle is a draugr! Great battle nethertheless

[@lSlendermaster]

Do you think he should be a ghost instead? 🤔 And thanks!

[@callumtorrance9180]

@@lSlendermaster red eagle was one of the forsworn. One of the reachmen. He had nothing to do with the ancient nords or the dragon cult

[@lSlendermaster]

@@callumtorrance9180 I know, but how else would he get resurrected, other than as a draugr, Dragon Priest, or ghost? 🤔

[@callumtorrance9180]

@@lSlendermaster yeah a ghost would have made sense or a zombie. Draugr are raised by alduin and we're devout followers of the dragon cult. And that was before red eagles time

[@lSlendermaster]

@@callumtorrance9180 Well, zombies don't exist in vanilla Skyrim, so I guess a ghost would make the most sense then. I've seen him as a unique draugr with Forsworn armor in a modded playthrough on KZbin, looked great!

[@HJHWolf]

It seems Red Eagle couldn't use opportunities given by unrelenting force!

[@lSlendermaster]

Yeah, like almost every NPC who can use that shout, sadly. 😂 NPCs also have absolutely terrible aim when trying to hit ragdolled opponents. It might be intended behavior, or just a bug

Field goal.

Man, i just discovered your chanel, saw some vids real quick and im for sure gonna watch more, i have a big seminar ahead so time to sleep now, and just want to say, theres a dungeon mod called inferno the blood marked, there are some crazy op and very intresting creatures in that mod, i dont know if you can put them in your vids, but if you can its definetly worth it, cheers.

[@lSlendermaster]

Hi, welcome to my channel! 😄 Thanks for watching, I'm always happy to hear that someone liked the content! I have looked that mod up and watched some videos about it. I don't think I'll get it at the moment. Maybe in the future, I'm not sure yet. Either way, thanks for the suggestion! And I hope your seminar went well 👍
