Skyrim Lore: Alduin Secrets!

[@gingeetheginge6071]

In the lore, he sounds amazingly cool, but in the game, he's a glorified health bar. But it's still an incredibly cool story.

[@Erowens98]

Aren't all dragons really.

[@Benzux]

Aren't all bosses in ES games? If we don't count ESO, I've never had any struggled with any ES boss.

[@elixxon]

Benzux The Ender Master Good for you.... the times dragons, including Alduin melted my heath bar with a breath or I got oneshottted by high tier draugr still haunt my dreams. Fighting Alduin with my first mage character was an epic experience. Having to utilize the fire resist junk I picked up in the College questline and literally everything I had in my bag was exciting although all was my fault because I did not even have a proper set of items for a mage because I prioritized magicka regen over everything. Too bad Bethesda didn't had time to work on the game balance more...

[@Benzux]

Naru Oh Alduin did hurt a lot. I just had to be quick with potions. But otherwise, the fight wasn't that hard. And I know what it feels like to play as a mage. Squish squish.

[@Metalhammer1993]

seems yo udidn´t play a resto mage^^ like i ´m simply counter healing a dragons damage and than attack him after his breath (or hack at him with a sword. atm i have a paladin build. heavy armor restoration and one handed. this thing is fun you literally heal yourself to full faster than your opponents hurt you and that is without vampire/necromage combo)

[@darkstarbucks975]

Besides, the Dragonrend shout was CREATED by The Ancient Nords! They didn't find it, the Nords created it from the Dragon Language.

[@poothathere4011]

Super late but, they didn't create it from the dragon language, they made the words themselves into the dragon language.

[@RunUp0nM3]

@@poothathere4011 that makes sense because its whould be weird if dragons made a word that made them land so they can die

[@trod146]

@@RunUp0nM3 it's more than making them land. It forces them to conceive their own mortality and the very thought of them not being eternal is too much too comprehend so they are forced to stop flying and commit all of their focus on the concept of being mortal.

[@deadacc6338]

It also was never wrote down

[@vigneshkr7072]

I doubt that. It is said in the lore dragons don't understand the concept of mortality. If that's the case how the nords could create a shout that forces the concept of mortality onto a dragon from dragon language which lacks vocabulary on mortality.

[@Lh0000]

Perhaps alduin can't truly manifest unless it's the end of the world.

[@Lh0000]

It would explain how he seems to only be a shadow of his former self. Perhaps the reason he doesn't use his full power and instantly cause the end of the world is because the world of the elder scrolls can't end... I think I'm pulling a conspiracy theory out of thin air... send help...

[@lynackhilou4865]

lh0000 it can end but the end of a kulpa ( a cycle) means a new one will start if alduin does his job so yeah even though the world of tamriel as we know can end , a new world will take its place

[@Nyghtking]

It's interesting, if thats true about Alduin then he'll return at his most powerful, but if what the stories say is true the Dovakiin will appear once more to defeat him. That is unless another theory is true. There is a theory that the Dovakiin was created by Akatosh to slay Alduin, and the Dovakiin was meant to do this because Alduin abandoned what he was meant to do when he tried to rule over the world. So basically if true if Alduin returns at full power then the Dovakiin may not return as Alduin would be fulfilling his purpose.

[@hawihawi1734]

Forgot about the spoilers too... what I mean is LDB can be immortal like mirrak therefore if Alduin returns so can the dragonborn. and if you REALLY want to circumvent the end of the world, get an elder scroll, and rewrite the future... you know like the fox.

[@skyslayer6104]

Banci Ki Wrong. Alduin did actually forsake his role. Not only this, he hasn't eaten any should to get power, and lost more of it while going through time. He's a Shadow of his former self. If it was time for the Kalpa to end, the LDB would stand no chance. A god is invincible in their sphere, and Alduin's sphere is Destruction.

[@bitchface235]

@@ronwoods6712 why did i subconsciously read this in heimskirs nord voice

[@Dell-ol6hb]

That’s a cool theory and I think it makes sense given Akatosh’s command over time as well. But yea when Alduin actually comes to Nirn to fulfill his purpose he will be LITERALLY invincible, as the Kalpa has to end and he must bring it to an end

[@wafflingmean4477]

Perhaps when Alduin was banished from time with the Elder Scroll, he was fragmented throughout time? So there are now multiple pieces of Alduin in existence and emerging in different time periods? This would explain why they'd all be much weaker than he was initially, and why their souls cannot be absorbed when killed. Perhaps his soul can only be absorbed when it is the full being?

[@abyabraham6646]

I don't think so buddy. Alduin has a destiny so he can't be killed by anyone else because he has a permanent duty.

strange, cuz the last fight alduin had with dovahkiin and alduin died, his soul was immediatly absorbed by the sky of sovngarde , it was like akatosh was already expecting alduin's dead to get back his power, or get alduin's soul back.

[@crazypenguincultistthing8160]

I also thought that.

[@beowulfandstuff5547]

I do agree with that. I figure someone had to take Alduins would, because Alduin is the only one I know of besides the gods who could resurrect the dead. Who would resurrect Alduin? I can't think of any god who after creating Nirn would want to bring him back just to destroy it after all this time.

[@Nameymcnamerson7]

Saviik Walker humans inherently understand mortality, so we only need to know the words for Dragonrend to use it. At least that’s what I think

[@pacifierragae7647]

And understanding the meaning of the shout, which Dragonborn did when he heard and saw what it did to Alduin, therefore understanding it completley.

[@holczy0]

Thats because the Elder Scrolls dont care about rules, they dont even exist, but they are with us, when was it written? Today, now, yesterday, five thousand years later. They used an elder scroll on Alduin and sent him forward in future. Honestly, instantly learning words from an elder scroll isnt that surprising

[@rosshaikenleonen1416]

One thing is that Dragonrend is not made by dragons. It was originally by men. So he does not need to learn the concept of it because a man knows very well what mortality is.

This is so true

[@Augustei]

Alduin is technically Akatosh's brother (He's actually a fair bit older than Akatosh), they're both shards of Aka (the original dragon entity made up off all the dragon souls combined). Skyrim just simplifies things and say he is the son of Akatosh since Michael Kirkbride's lore is confusing as hell

[@kevinnorwood8782]

Augustei Really? Interesting. I was under the impression that Akatosh was the FIRST Dragon, and all other Dragons are Akatosh's children, with Alduin being the first-born. On another note, did you know that Alduin is actually based on the Dragon from Norse mythology known as the Nidhogg (also spelled Nidhoggr)?

Augustei I doubt you know more about Skyrin lore than Mr Rhexx, thank you very much.

[@elixxon]

Civilization is several thousands years old. Of course people ingame have no idea what actually transpired so long ago. What people who bash on Elder Scrolls games for being lore breaking forget or ignore is that many things that are "incorrect" have happened a long ass time ago in the past. By the time of the ES games literally the only information mortals have about dragons is some Blades documents that are heavily biased because they were hunting dragons for a reason even they don't know, and Nordic mythology, that is incorrect or lacking because it's a religion.

[@branchtree448]

You know. I was wondering. Why did Alduin not just roar and destroy Skyrim immidiately? I mean. Why did he go through all the effort of first restoring former dragons? Then you explained the whole "shadow of Alduin"-theory and I think that might be the reason why he did not go in the immidiate assault. He didn't have enough power at the time, I guess?

[@Nevervindme]

Branch Tree Alduin wasn't interested in destroying Nirn; he wanted to enslave it. Put the hiërarchy back to where it was before the first Age. Dragons ruling over humans. That's why he didn't bother destroying everything. Also, the actual reason why Shor didn't kill Alduin and why the Dragonborn didn't consume his soul, is because Akatosh didn't allow it. Akatosh keeps Alduin alive at all costs. This implies that Akatosh wants to use Alduin in the future, possibly to destroy Nirn.

[@branchtree448]

Scrat Interesting, but why would Alduin not want to destroy Nirn? I mean. He wanted to do it before, right? He got cockblocked by Shor. So I guess he changed his mind and his own nature? So Akatosh keeps Alduin alive, but he makes no moves when it comes to when Alduin tries to destroy/overtake the world. Does that mean that Akatosh had already planned a destruction and that he it got stopped because of Shor and/or the Dovahkiin?

[@Nevervindme]

Alduin understood that destroying Nirn was going against the Eight Divines. He kept his head down and didn't make any more attempts at actually destroying it, and focused on enslaving it instead. Akatosh couldn't care less if he enslaved humanity. They created the perfect, immortal plane that they wanted, as long as Alduin kept it intact, he was free to do whatever. Besides, the Divines have never really directly influenced Nirn that much.

[@kells473]

Branch Tree he might just think Nirn is something to play with, since he's got nothing better to do anymore. no more tasty worlds, so let's just play with the one that's good. he could be using the "ghosts" of himself to keep Nirn safe since his soul can't be absorbed due to it's power.

Since the dragonborn didn't absorb alduin's soul, then probably not as the dragonborn seems to learn a dragon's understanding through consuming the soul. If the dragonborn was to somehow absorb alduin's soul then yes.

[@nickpavon4388]

The dragonborn didn't absorb his soul. He didn't even truelly kill him. That's because alduin is a greater shard of the Aka oversoul along with auriel and akatosh. Theoretically the dragonborn can absorb alduins soul since dragon souls are lesser shards of Aka and become a greater shard himself

[@PilotW65]

I think it would have been really cool to see Alduin portrayed as more than just a super evil, arrogant (if not over-villified) dragon. Seeing this side of his purpose and his role in the renewal of the mortal realm as a sort of natural process, and hearing of the apocylyptic power he held in lore makes the in-game portrayal of him all the more disappointing. Hopefully jsn't just swept under the rug and forgotten about in the future, and I like to think perhaps his soul was sent back to Akatosh to be "purified" of his corrupted ambitions and to return in his pure form millennia after the time Skyrim takes place.

[@yep1486]

true, there is that first time he speaks and how he says you are unworthy of naming yourself Dovah while Partysnacks and our taxi to sovengard show us a side of dragons unknown to mortals while showing us how to be more dovah like I kinda would like either more of this atleast from Alduin or atleast more of other simular things, like he at one point demonstrate to you how inferior you are to the level of a true dovah by staying in the air as he remarks your inability to fly, how you have to wait whenever you wanna shout again and how you rely on tools forged by other mortals

[@saberthefierce4306]

My dude, this was awesome thank you for making this. I don't know how you learned all of this but it seems you put it to good use. And I love how at the end you used the real text from Alduin in the game when he resurrects that one dragon. I don't know how to spell his name

[@mirzasahinkaya]

Maybe Alduin's powers were restricted because they are no longer needed?

I don't know if anyone will see this because it's an old video however I believe I can be of help when we speak of why the dragon born couldn't absorb his soul.

[@loremaster234]

Rhexx! Nice to see another Skyrim video, but I'm also loving your awesome DD videos! Keep up the great content as always. But I wanted to discuss something with you. Would you be interested in investigating the All-Maker and the Skaal? They are quite interesting due to the very fact that they are the first monotheistic society in the elder scrolls universe. Do you think that the All-Maker is just one of the known deities interpreted by the Skaal as something/someone else? Although, this wouldn't add up seeing that the Skaal shaman in Dragonborn stated that the gods of the empire were just as foreign to them as the All-Maker was to the Dragonborn. But that doesn't include ALL of Nirn's deities. So it is still possible it's one of the known dirties. Or perhaps not. The Skaal often refer to the Daedra as demons, and believe in an entity known as the Adversary. This Adversary actually possessed a man, making him the infamous Greedy Man that stole all the All-Maker's gifts that were given to the Skaal, who had become lazy. They also mention rebirth and a river of life, something seen in Christianity. I hope that you see this post soon. I have an interesting theory that you might want to hear. Thanks!

[@christopherbravo1813]

[@elixxon]

About Alduin being weaker: He is referred to as the World Eater, and his job was to consume worlds then put the stuff from them into Nirn. From his behavior it seems apparent that his power grows while he devours a world and he loses it when giving it into another world. With no job anymore he have acted on his draconic nature to conquer the world. Without devouring large amounts of power however his power have constantly weakened. He probably either wasn't aware of this when fighting the tongues or he did not consider the possibility of mortals being able to defeat him(which was correct, the old perv just pulled his Elder Scroll repurposed as a dildo out of his ass as a last resort). Even the Dragonborn was only able to gain so much power to force Alduin to resort to eating the souls of the dead in Sovngarde as an attempt to recover enough power to defeat him by devouring dragon souls which are known of being extremely powerful with lots and lots of unique perks. An act that Alduin himself never resorted to. Could it be that Alduin can't absorb dragon souls? Could it be that devouring his own was too low for him?

[@elixxon]

As I understood it he is not weaker than he was. His power grows as he devours a world and he returns to normal when he discards this power. He needed the souls in Sovngarde because the Dragonborn grew too strong for his current state by devouring dragon souls.

When the Dragons are immortal didnt mean this that the Dragonborn is immortal too? When yes than its can be that you are the same Hero in all games. You get only "resurrected" like a Dragon. :)

[@NWolfsson]

Every hero since Morrowind is more or less an aspect of a hero or god: -Morrowind's nerevarine was a reincarnation of Indoril Nerevar, the Azura's Champion who was killed by the Tribunal and brought back to do his unfinished business. It is unknown however if he was mortal (being canonically a dunmer he may have survived all this time but that's not the most plausible) -The Hero of Kvatch wasn't a reincarnation per se, but took the domain and identity of Sheogorath when time had come to Jyggalag to bring Order in his realm, aaand we don't really know how these things work, time is a trifty thing for the Daedra. Probably that since the very moment he took the sphere of Sheogorath, the Hero of Kvatch was an aspect of Sheogorath all his life before... -And for the Dragonborn... well being blessed by Akatosh doesn't necessarily mean you'll have all the powers of a Dovah. But nice theory :) and let's never forget: a single bein could very well bear many gods' aspects (btw Dranaugh I understand you are excited but try to manage your writing, it's barely understandable)

[@saintshaggy1372]

[@fernie8290]

Alduin "seeked a new one"???? 1:27 Sought! Damn it! Sought a new one!!!! My blood sugar is low! I'm leaving now!

[@RETYQ]

Lol hey I make lore videos as well and let me tell you viewers it's hard to speak in order and in line about lore.

[@HeeroAvaren]

I love you Rhexx, please never stop making videos.

[@slapslapslapclapclapclap7048]

Hin sil fen nahkip bahloki.

[@aces5thalternateaccount464]

Vor lo Kah.

[@TheRealEg123]

It's like every time I play skyrim again you upload more skyrim content

[@sunicarus8607]

What if the Dragonborn is an immortal vampire and doesn't die before Alduin returns again? See you later, Ally. 😂

[@archmageshalidor4485]

Miraak shout is unique 4 words to insta kill a dragon And i have Question where he learned its? Hermous mora or before the last dragonborn came?

[@blakebreninger489]

yo wait... what if the dragon born and alduin are one in the same thing? cause like you said where the dragon born is alduin will always be there too and it's a "ghost" of his formal self so what if the dragon born is half of alduin's soul which is why you can't absorb his soul cause if you do you fully become alduin?????????????!!!!!!!!!!

[@thertsgamer3066]

That would imply that Shor is also half of Alduin, which has no basis in the lore so far. Especially considering SHor's connections with Lorkhan and Wulfharth.

[@blakebreninger489]

It could be like a holcrox thing like from harry potter

[@thertsgamer3066]

It's not. Shor and Lorkhan are two sides of the same entity, different only because of differing pantheons splitting the mythology (Shor being a god of the Dead, Lorkhan a god of Man. Not impossible, as Lorkhan is considered deceased and Shor reigns over an afterlife as the first dead god) and allowing the same entity to exist in two different ways. Wulfharth and Ysmir are both Shezzarines, or Avatars of Shor; the soul of Shor made manifest in flesh and blood. Alduin is the first creation of Akatosh, who, depending on interpretation, either was created by Aka, Mantled Aka, or both. The two sets of entities are not related. There's a bit of theorycraft that can show the Last Dragonborn to be a Shezzarine, potentially, but in no way has Akatosh ever had an avatar via the Shezzarine or Nerevarine method; only in the oblivion crisis has Akatosh had an avatar, and it was very much a shade of the god itself, not a mortal incarnation.

[@Kranumsei]

I fucking love your Elder Scrolls and D&D lore videos m8, keep up the good work!

[@tekdaystar345]

Actually, Alduin is a shard of Aka, as are Auriel and Akatosh. Second, he eats timelines, not planets. This is a "I've only played skyrim and or Oblivion" type video. This is inaccurate.

[@warlocket5326]

If you have a mod that has all map markers discovered and you very quickly fast travel to riverwood right after you came out of that cave with ralof or hadvar, look up into the sky you can see Alduin flying in the sky

[@SixtoxPro]

where is DnD?

[@giliansterckx]

There it is!

[@Firestar4041]

In Skyrim.

[@CalamityDiamond]

You'll get it, he's paying homage to his roots.

[@lazaruslong697]

WTF is DnD? This is Skyriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim! :D *Shouts Sixto Yu off the cliff*

[@lordofchaosinc.261]

It's hard to imagine Alduin actually destroying a planet. Starting out to play I did not even get that the tiny dragon from the intro was in fact the "World Eater" himself.

[@beerasaurus]

One of the most disappointing final bosses in all of video games.

[@cosmicomniversal8099]

in my opinion he was a ok final boss

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

beerasaurus I think it depends on the level, like all Enemies in the game

[@Mateumt]

It's not like Dagoth ur fell down a fucking bridge.

[@calibribody6776]

at least you kill Alduin and not get a fucking god to do it *cough cough* Oblivion *cough cough*

[@cosmicomniversal8099]

The True Upgrade​ i get it lol

[@jj_grabes]

Great to see you covering Skyrim again, Rhexx, amazing work, as always!

[@foureye7058]

Funny, but you still aren't pronouncing it right.

[@-smp-scientificmethodpersp838]

If the Dovahkiin in Skyrim is "the last Dragonborn", then when Alduin returns, he will return at full power to do his job; it will be the end of the world, and the Dragonborn will not be there to stop him. This is because the Dragonborn is there to stop Alduin from ruling the world, not to stop him from destroying it, since he would no longer be rebelling against Aka / Akatatosh at that point.

[@carsonmecall1384]

Akatosh probably took his soul back and is waiting for the day for the world eater to fufil his job

[@thesimpleanswer2264]

ur skyrim videos made me replay the remastered version.

[@MasterMahan-qm8hu]

Geat Lore!!! Would love to see more like it! Cheers

[@lucasfranke3326]

00:30 HOLY SHIT THAT'S A DRAGON Now that I know what that last figure is I can finally die in piece

[@arcaneusumbra1539]

glad to see you made a Skyrim video, if you plan on making more I would love to see a video on good ol' Herma Mora

[@mr.critical5523]

Loving the lore videos; learning some really interesting stuff. Especially with the D&D game. I know you get asked this a lot, but since you did a video on the D&D dragons, I was wondering if there was anything you could tell us about the Dragonborn? The D&D kind, not the Skyrim kind... really wish I didn't need to make that distinction, but what can ya do.

[@deathwolf6665]

Alduin and sephiroth.. would really make good pals with each other

[@MilleniumActress]

Holy damn, I never knew about this lore. I just played the game, ignorant. I'm somehow glad that his soul couldn't be absorbed. Makes him more godly :'D.

[@nathanellis8794]

If he is this powerful he must of gone easy on the dragon born. If he is that intelligent he must of new that the world was going to last and returned to he’s father

[@berend213]

ANOTHER SKYRIM LORE!!!!!!!! Thank you so much, i didnt think you would make another.

[@TheTurbanatore]

Love your videos, please do more Skyrim lore!

[@エレダー]

all dragon born should thanks to him, if he didn't came and mess up in helgen you are now in sovngarde

[@naraferalina2308]

I hope Alduin returns as this giant, continent sized monster.

[@nicholasleon7819]

I think in the game it specifically mentions that Alduin was weak when he came back and was eating souls in Sovengarde to regain his power, so it's pretty reasonable to think that he is just a ghost of his former self, and he can be banished before he gets his full power back.
