Skyrim Battles - Malkoran vs. Hamelyn, Dragon Priest, Vampire, and more

- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- Malkoran is well known for doing a stupid amount of damage with his ice storms. This is partly due to the fact that they have a chance to hit the target several times, dealing full damage every time. He can also dual-cast them which increases their damage further.
The damage stacking this way might be a glitch, which I usually avoid. But because it's fun to watch and it also happens when Malkoran fights the player, I wanted to see how effective it is against other NPCs.
Strong wards can still block Malkoran's ice storms efficiently (as shown by Marcurio and Ildari), but they might fail if Malkoran spams them quickly enough or just gets lucky (like with Savos).
The anomaly of Malkoran's ice storm sometimes dealing damage multiple times is not unique to him; I've seen it with Arch Cryomancers and other NPCs too, but it's less extreme and noticeable because they don't spam them nearly as much as Malkoran does, and the chance to stack gets enhanced massively during Malkoran's boss fight.
The results in this episode are less accurate than most of my other videos because Malkoran's damage is very random. Don't rely too much on the exact outcome, it always varies. This is especially true for the rapid death of the Dragon Priest. I couldn't get a decent fight because of the Priest's terrible AI, but him getting totally annihilated looked very satisfying, so I put it into the video.

I love the "That was pathetic" line
Great to hear! 😂
The Ebony Warrior, the true comeback kid.
Always fun to see him fight! 😎
Those Ice storm spams can be killer if unprepared.
For sure, I have seen many players struggle with them!
The Draugr Overlord really didn't break a sweat lol. He got slowed down due to the ice effect but still kicked his ass. The dragon priest on the other hand got absolutely obliterated by Malkorans ice storm spam...
He couldn't break a sweat cuz he kept getting frozen lmao (and maybe cause he spammed the forward power attack)
Драконьего жреца убил баг, а не Малкоран
The Overlord walking like that was funny! 😂 I wasn't expecting him to get slowed down that much, but it was interesting to see
Those goddamn Corrupted Shades were so annoying for my lvl 100 character.
I think Malkoran has the Extra Damage 2.0 perk, those Ice Storms hit harder than other Cryo mages.
I can imagine, they have a lot of health! 😂
That perk doesn't affect magic. He does have Augmented Frost 2 for a 50% damage boost, but the reason why he does so much more damage is that his ice storms can do damage multiple times. It's a general behavior during his boss fight, and other NPCs get buffed the same way. A single ice storm can exceed 1000 damage, but it's very random. My next video will show some extreme results!
@@lSlendermasterI thought that the maximum amount of damage he could do was 700 with 500 being the minimum.
@@liamyuki2316 It's very inconsistent. The highest I've seen was slightly over 1000. The lowest was the default damage (60 because he has augmented frost) 😄
Quality of vids improving.
You're my favorite skyrim battle arena showcasing RUclipsr.
Thank you very much!! I hope I can keep the entertainment value up! 😎
We definitely need to see more of Mercer Frey. Some opponents he could face: Isran, Ulfric Stormcloak, General Tullius, Kematu, Madanach, Irileth, Kodlak Whitemane, Skjor & Vilkas.
Mercer kills all of them in seconds flat, none of them have any meaningful perks and Mercer is one of the strongest dual wielding characters in the game
Interesting ideas. 🤔 I too think it would give Mercer a very easy time, but a few quick rounds at first wouldn't hurt.
I do need to test Madanach at some point too! He might or might not make for a good episode on his own. Anyway, thanks for the ideas!
Ildaris play style is just so fun to see to me I love the way the developers made her
Same! One of the most fun mages to watch
1. Correct me if I'm wrong but Malkoran's Ice Storm is a unique spell that takes less mana to cadt and does more damage, right? If so then his damage makes sense
2. They actually came REALLY close to killing the Ebony Warrior. Though tbf, a part of it was his AI fighting defensively for the first half, taking unnecessary damage. Its only once his HP was critical that he started getting agressive and flipped the fight in his favor almost immediately.
1. He uses the generic Ice Storm spell like many other NPCs as well as the player, with the same damage and magicka cost. The reason why he does so much more damage is that the spell gets buffed massively during his boss fight.
In general, an Ice Storm can hit a target twice sometimes, dealing the damage a second time. This is possible for every NPC and for the player at any point, but it's rather rare.
During Malkoran's fight, they can stack many more times and with a massively increased chance, making them extremely deadly potentially, but also very inconsistent.
2. You're right! The Ebony Warrior focuses too much on blocking with his shield up, but attacks very aggressively when using spells instead. That's when things get intense 😎
@@lSlendermasterliterally like he entered a second phase
@@filipvadas7602 It feels like it, true!
Oh my god! Ebony Warrior obtained Dawnbreaker now! Volkihar Dovahkiin is doomed now!
Truuue! 😆
Boss video made again from the boss himself, Islendermaster! This Malkoran video was interesting at the kind of crazy offensive power Malkoran has. Normal Dragon Priest stood no chance but Dukaan put him in his place. Also 6:29 🤣🤣🤣🤣 When I heard that I knew it was all over for Malkoran at that point.
Драконий жрец с лёгкостью справился бы, если б не баги игры на огромный урон
Thanks, I'm glad you had fun! 🥳 The Dukaan fight was interesting, but the Ildari round was my favorite 😆
And people say ice magic is weak bah
@@skydome5481 A lot of opponents resist it, but Malkoran really shows them their limits 😆
hes so unpredictable
Very unpredictable! 😂
1:57 Hamelyn doesn't f- around with those dual fire ball attacks, I remember getting jumpscared by those fireballs while sneaking around his secret layer as a thief. But he went fisting as soon as his mana depleted just like what happens here. 😅
Meanwhile fighting Malkoran is also another reason why i hated picking that damn Beacon.😅 He's too Overpowered for the required level.
Hamelyn is weird. 😂 He gets extremely spammy with his spells, but it doesn't last long
Fair, I've seen so many players struggle with him, understandably 😅
The arena was hugely unfavorable to Malkoran's spellcasting opponents: due to the shape of the upper step, AI's chicken brains couldn't sidestep to avoid his slow-moving spells because that would've either meant also walking forward (ranged AI prefers to keep the distance even if the opponent is also ranged), or stepping down to a different step.
I'm fairly sure that the area of effect of his ice storms easily cover that, but it's still good for Malkoran, that's true 🤔
How does Marcurio manage to keep missing with chain lightning
Shock mage behavior, I see it a lot 😆
@amanda.7125 Indeed! 😂
Not in ildaris case
@amanda.7125 shocking indeed
I Love how the Ebony Warrior slowly walks up the stairs and approaches Malkoran like an absolute boss, He's like "Alright, I killed your allies, now it's your turn to die".
"It was at this moment, that he knew..." 😆
Another great video, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks, I will! 😎
Hamelyn first npc I see using a restore magicka potion!
It's a rare thing, yes! Vyrthur does too. I think those are the only two that I have seen 🤔
Ildari comes in and once again obliterates him
Yup, although she barely made it out alive! 😆
@@lSlendermasterthat healing spell saved her at the perfect timing
@@TonyThaGamer-t4q Indeed! One reason why I picked that recording
Legit didn’t expect Malkoran and the others to put up that good a fight against the main man himself at the end.
I got an idea for a tournament if you’re interested.
Yeah very interesting twist of story based off of a few minor mechanical implications of the specific npcs we see here. I sure wish his shade form was a more powerful version instead of weaker
@@dreamzplayern1684 Always confused me why he had less health rather than more.
Someone should mod it and give the Shade like 1000 health
@@irontiger2622the shades had 1020 health, they are scaled to your lvl and at high lvls they become absolute damage sponges.
@@thatskeletordude5271 …..I was talking about Malkoran after he’s killed
What is your tournament idea? 😄
I envy how high damage malkoran's spell is. I wish we were able to increase spell damage to this point through difficult quests in the game. Only than, mage builds would be extremely rewarding like warrior builds.
Its why I prefer Ordinator as a perk overhaul mod. It basically makes your spells scale with your Skill level in a particular tree (more damage, lesser cost, more effective Level Range etc)
It actually makes a dedicated Mage build more worthwhile.
That would be nice, wouldn't it? But here's a little tip: Use ice storm when you fight Malkoran during the quest. You'll get the same result as he does 😆
@@filipvadas7602 Sounds reasonable to me. Spells are really not balanced for end-game builds in vanilla
@@lSlendermaster i don't know if you guys will agree with me or not but i don't get any fun and satisfaction unless i play the game JUST AS bethesda intended. So i don't install any mods except dawnguard and dragonborn. I know it's weird :D
@@kemalturgut9127 Fair enough! I avoid most big mods too, but I do have a few smaller ones. For exmaple: bugfixes, environmental graphics, and UI stuff like the floating healthbars. But I've played Skyrim on PS3 since 2012 and only switched to PC 2 years ago, so modding wasn't essential for me for the longest time either 😄
Ildari always uses thunderbolt in her other hand which is already a strong spell
Yes! She can easily deal with most mages in the game 😎
Good video
Malcoran is a powerful mage he mast have perk in Ice to du this damage
Thanks! 😁
The mechanics are a bit more complicated 😅
8:44 the pressure that is on this moment! Ew almost passed, happy that he won.
Between Malkoran and Marcurio, it was hot between two mages who used their magic shield.
What's monstrous about Malkoran is that he has HUGE damage from ice spells, and when he strafes, he causes total carnage.
Too bad for him that a vampire nighmaster and Ildari are much stronger than him, at least Festus Krex is not wrong, when you focus more on destruction spells, you can wreak havoc
I really wasn't sure who would win in that situation, tense until the end! 😎
Yup, Marcurio did pretty well 😄
Oh yes, Malkoran ist insane 😂
Just like Arch Pyromancers, those get crazy too!
@@lSlendermaster, Especially when the AI decides with the Arch Pyromancer to spam shots repeatedly, the pyros sound horrible when they use their fire aura where you lose a lot of health if you're stuck to them x.x
@@judinatheargonianthief1385 Fighting them always means a lot of action, right? 😂 But I dislike that sound too, actually
Hey, great video as usual.
Can you test out how strong Serana is with "Vampire lord serana and Valerica" mod at level 50?
Thank you! 😁
I don't usually install mods just for testing purposes, sorry 😅
Is the music from dragon prince?
I don't where else it might be used, but I have linked it in the description 😄
Don't touch the Meridia's bacon
A NEW HAND
Which of Malkoran's spells does so much damage? Sometimes they would be at like 400 and then they're dead
Это баг оригинального Скайрима. При разрушении оберега наносится огромный урон.
Must be an Extra Damage perk combined with the Frost Damage perk causing both to stack resulting in huge amount of dmg.
Sometimes it's 600 damage which I believe is the maximum for him.
It's a normal ice storm spell, but those get buffed during Malkoran's boss fight and can stack, doing damage multiple times. A single one can do over 1000 damage, but it's very random. It doesn't have to do anything with wards.
It can happen outside of his boss fight too, but not to the same extent.
If you think that's impressive already, wait for my next video: A Malkoran bonus compilation 😆
Oh man what was that with the Dragon priest😢😂
Баги игры случились с драконьим жрецом
Just Malkoran things 😆
@@lSlendermaster poor man😢😂
Really good video. Malkoran can do too many frost spells in a second. I think Dragon Priest was killed because 0% frost resist.
Thanks! The Dragon Priest has 10% magic resistance and took too long to react. It's funny to see him go down so fast 😂
You should do a round with Potemas spirit
I might at some point, yeah 🤔
I have an idea! All masked Dragon Priests VS Miraak. Or all masked Dragon Priests + Miraak VS Ebony Warrior. Or all masked Priests + Miraak VS each other.
The Dragon Priests are wayyy too strong for Miraak or the Ebony Warrior, and we would need an AI fix first for such a complicated battle. 😅
Ahzidal and Miraak are almost equal, and if you put the Ebony Warrior against the 3 masked Solstheim Priests (without Miraak), this happens: ruclips.net/video/6q5_NpEcyx4/видео.html
@@lSlendermaster I thought Console Commands could allow it. ^^''
@@zahkrosis666 Yes, but they won't fix the AI, and there are lots of other issues when making proper battles 😅
@@lSlendermaster Well, maybe not. But I thought it would be funny :p
@@zahkrosis666 It probably would be, and very quick too! 😂
Corrupted shades do no damage do they? 😂
Hardly. They're just damage sponges, really 😂
Def the GOAT
Always happy to provide entertainment! 😁
Malkorian can't beat Savos Aren in reallity that was a bug
Malkoran's ice storm damage can stack. It's unclear if this is an intended mechanic or not
그는 전투를 짜는 데 재능이 있습니다😂😂
He's crazy to watch 😂
I like how [eboy warrior] he is in every battle and fight.! And this legendry warrior most of the time will destroyed his target.!😊💪
I wish there was mod we can make the ebony warrior as our followers.!🤔
True!
Some people have commented that there are mods like that. I don't know what they are though 😅
