The Hydra design is both nightmare fuel and absolute genius. The heads falling off and then coming to get you to protect the main body is just *chef's kiss*
@@lSlendermastercurious about 2 things: 1. How would Karstaag do against the Hydra? 2. How would The Ebony Warrior and Miraak do? I'm guessing not *that* well since the Hydra seems to be ridicilously powerfull.
@@filipvadas7602 Both Miraak and the Ebony Warrior usually die within a few seconds from the poison damage. To beat the Hydra, an opponent needs immunity to poison. 😅 I might try something ridiculous like 5 Ebony Warriors just out of curiousity, but not for a public video. About Karstaag, he's in the final round here: ruclips.net/video/jnEj7ZIhYqg/видео.html
@@filipvadas7602 The Volkihar vampires are terrible for videos because they lack balancing due to the lack of a level cap. 😅 A few Nightlord Vampires can easily beat the Hydra, and the same goes for Ahzidal, Dukaan, and Zahkriisos combined. The main problem is that those fights get very chaotic and hard to watch, and even harder to record, so it's not very practical
Both Hydra and the the Nordic Sentinel were immune towards each others strongest ability. The Hydra could not poison the Nordic Sentinel and the Nordic Sentinel could not stunlock the Hydra to death. The Hydra could only be defeated by the strongest vanilla creature in the game while the Nordic Sentinel is the only one who can win any match against any vanilla creature, due to the Nordic Sentinel's stunlocking ability.
The editing in this video is phenomenal, i would love to see full videos dedicated to the hydra, its such a cool creature. Keep up the amazing work mate

@@Dickmaster-adam I have never seen the Ice Titan on Nexus, which is weird because I've browsed *a lot* of creature mods. I took a look now, and you can't download that mod anymore. 😐 I have never used the Dwarven Colossus because it's bugged, just like all Dwarven Centurions. Unless we find a fix (which is unlikely), it's not worth it 🤷
Now that was the best fight I have seen in video games to date because I have not seen something so big to fight another thing that is so big that was epic
Something I find with a lot of the creature mods: The creators put ALL their time into the model, and don't even test their creatures. I have to fix them myself. For example, Deadroths are just copy and pasted stats from werewolf's, as they use the same skeleton. However, I think because of the longer head, their arms attack doesn't reach far enough, so they can't hit anything. I had to fix the reach myself. Then for almost every creature mod, I have to increase their stats, and attack damage, and do things I shouldn't have to do, like add armor and resistances to them. Literally 5 minutes of work, both the mod authors can't ever be bothered to. Doesn't matter how good it looks if the thing is a push over in game.
I think the problem is the balancing. There's not objectively correct way to do it, and if you ask several people, you'll get several different answers what's balaned properly. Lots of things in the vanilla game are problematic too, but there are very different opinions about how to change them, so I usually just end up keeping everything as it is. Of course, that doesn't apply to obvious bugs, like the reach you mentioned. 😅 There are quite a few vanilla bugs still existing in the game with nobody having a fix
@@lSlendermaster I can agree everyone will have a different opinion on what the stats should be, but often times they have NO stats, for example, a creature literally made out of wood, (like the forest spirit thing) or who has hard scales should have some natural armor, at least equivalent to say a set of ring mail but they never do. I always find myself adding it all so that the creature can put up a fight. Skyrim is WAY too easy, I would really like to see a game like if Skyrim and Elden Ring had a baby. That would be an amazing game.
@@Cruor34 Fair enough! Like Dwarven machines having no armor rating. It feels weird. 😂 I don't think Skyrim is too easy because I've seen a lot of new players struggle even with random fights. It's not made for the specific hardcore player base, and in my opinion, hard enough for casual players. Although I personally wouldn't mind it being more difficult, just not for everyone 😄
Nice, I figured it would either be the sentinel with it's stagger and knock down abilities or the hydra with it's "multiple lives" and swarming when the heads break off.
When Lightning colossus were frying Hydra I thought, yep, lizard is goner. Then Hydra came into phase 2 and i was like: "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat ....... oh, of course..... HYDRA" 😀
I have the hydra mod installed as well. I've killed several and had no idea it was the most powerful modded creature! All of birbwalkers mods are amazing tbh
Thanks! 😁 That actually doesn't need any mods; it's a rather complicated vanilla mechanic I figured out. I'm attaching the camera to the NPC by using the "tc" command. The exact details are complex and took me many hours to get to work properly
Thank you! 😁 I have seen some dinosaur mods before, but I didn't get them because they don't fit too well into Skyrim, in my opinion (being a cold, frozen land for the most part). The Hydra being a legendary creature makes a bit more sense. I didn't even know about the Tyrannosaurids mod before though. Maybe I'll give it a try someday. Thanks for the suggestion!
I find it frustrating that, at the end of the day, modded enemies in Skyrim can rarely go beyond a retextured enemy already in the game with some special abilities. The hydra is a recoded saber cat, the Ancient Nordic Sentinel a Dwarven Centurion, the Gravelord a draugr.
I agree with most of that, yeah. I wish animations were easier to work with, but it seems to be a huge pain in technical and many other ways. The hydra is actually based on frostbite spiders, but yeah, still vanilla animations. It hides that pretty well though, especially with all the heads.
The Lord of Returning Death would be nice to see in this kind of Format too he is from the The Lord of the Returning Death Mod made by Lagrie in the Steam Workshop

Against the Woodland Spirit? The Sentinel took his health from 1089 to -32, so it's 1121 damage (with a slight damage resistance even). I have measured the Sentinel's attacks precisely, and his right-hand power attack does 1162 damage by default. One reason why he's really overpowered! 😂

More modded creatures would be amazing. Maybe more of Mihail's stuff, and Skyrim Immersive Creatures, there's also Deadly Dragons, and Sands of Time monsters.
I've been searching for more modded creatures, but most don't fit my preferences. Mihail is probably still our best bet. 🤔 I don't have Deadly Dragons but Diverse Dragons. The problem is that dragon battles are very difficult to record and take a long time, so an episode would only have a few rounds. Immersive Creatures and Sands of Time are too big and make too many changes that I wouldn't want to have in my game 😅
@@lSlendermaster I can understand that. I use Mod Organizer 2 so I can swap mods in and out with ease. Not during a regular playthrough of course, but if I wanted to record something it'd be useful that way. SIC makes me crash in certain areas, so I get not wanting it for a real playthrough. Dragon AI is so annoying, honestly. Needs to be more aggressive. Sometimes they just fly off for no reason. Oh! Apcoalypse spells by Enai has a bunch of new, very cool summons. I don't know if you've tried that one, but they are all pretty interesting.
@@Darksphere101 Ahh, I see! I use Vortex for that. I've sometimes installed and uinstalled mods for testing purposes, but I only keep the ones that I want permanently. Yeah, for real. 😂 My Skyrim battles episode #50 took me over 20 hours to record because the dragons would fly away when low on health, and then crash into the ground beyond the render distance. It was quite an experience. 😆 Oh yes, I actually have that mod! Sometimes, mages I want to use for my videos spawn with the modded staves, so I'm confused at first what's going on 😆
To be fair, I found it a bit strange too. But I like it as a boss mechanic. It's something I've never seen in any game so far, and it's well executed in this mod 😄
Good question! It causes a mass stagger effect when it starts. Other than that, I don't think it does anything. It's technically a variation of the Storm Call effect that Alduin uses, but without the meteors, and I don't think it has any other effect 🤔
@@lSlendermaster I understand that but when you consider each mihail monster mod is close to 100mb and vigilant which has 20+ bosses without counting the miniboss NPCs is 800mb I think it could get you more bang for your buck
@@monkiplatts9224 I didn't also mean the file size, but also the mod itself. Like Mihail's mods are pretty straightforward, but with Vigilant, I would probably have to do all the quests first, which I wouldn't want to do just for videos. 😅 Considering even vanilla NPCs can be vastly different depending on quests, scripts, and other things which cause anomalies that you wouldn't expect, I would have to spend a lot of time simply understanding the mod creatures to make fair battles
@@TheMoltenpepper Commands are only available on PC. For consoles, there might be mods, but they're probably not comparable to the commands. For example, I spawn NPCs with the "player.placeatme" command. I toggle the global AI by using "tai" and "tdetect", so they won't fight right away. For NPCs that are normally allied with each other, raising their aggression to the highest level is done with "setav aggression 3" on them. With no access to commands, you would need something comparable for basic fights 😅
Just watching this now; I knew my boy Nightbringer wouldn't win against the Hydra. xD There's a lot of strength in numbers not only because sheer quantity but because the AI can only focus on one foe at a time. Cleave and AoE can help, though. 🤔 Anywho, I've yet to get around to making a built-in fix or replacement for Marked for Death. 😅
Oh hey, nice to see you here again! 🥳 He did pretty well still, not a lot of NPCs can even get to the Hydra's second state! But you're right, all the heads were a little too much, especially because he can't shout often enough. 😅 I have read that the Marked for Death glitch got fixed in an AE update, but I still play SE because updating would break some of my mods. 😅 I assume the easiest way to deal with this would be to look at the fix in the update, and apply the same fix in your mod if you care to release it for us SE players as well. 😅 In case you get stuck at some point, maybe I can help. My modding experience is probably not as good as yours, but I have made some things as well. 😄 On a side note: If you don't mind me asking, how did you find my videos? Do you watch Skyrim battles, or did it get recommended to you or something? I've been curious since the first time you commented back then, because it kinda made my day 😂
@@lSlendermaster I only have Classic Skyrim and so what I would probably do is to either make my own Marked For Death shout or add/make another spell to replace it. It's looking like the Nightbringer uses the Dremora Lord summon too much, so maybe I'll add a stronger Shade summon or add a Wraith summon that the AI could consider summoning just as often as the Dremora Lord. And then when the update gets released for LE, what I do is ask a mod author friend to convert it for SE. (RE: how I find the videos) So sometimes -this is quite funny and embarrassing 😅 - I like feeling validated or something and look up my mods here on YT or elsewhere, haha. Anyway, I've had this idea where I make an Auroran creature of mine in another mod hunt the player like Nightbringer if the player is a vampire. :3 Not sure if I'll ever get to it, but: Would you have him (Vyrmilion, in the Equinox mod) fight Nightbringer or something? Haha. Nylhac too~ I think Kharizesthe (Seth) and Ferrine has some combat potential too, maybe.
@@Caerulean Ahh, I see! That sounds good. About the Dremora Lord: I like that he summons that, but a Shade or Wraith would be really interesting too, so I wouldn't mind seeing that. 😄 That's completely understandable! Nothing embarrassing about it. 😄 I'm glad you stumbled upon my videos! I just took a look at that mod. From what I'm getting, it changes Kilkreath Ruins and might remove Malkoran as well? I want to avoid that because Malkoran's damage output is tied to his location, so the only way I can keep his full potential is by keeping everything there as it is. 😅
@@lSlendermaster The Shade and the Wraith are already in the mod. The Shade looks like the Nightbringer but has no scythe, is weaker, and is a mage. I suspect he doesn't get summoned as much, in your battles is that he's a lower-level summon and I assume you run these at max level, and the AI usually prefers to use their best spells. The Wraith is how the Nightbringer is summoned normally. It's essentially Mihail's dementor but with some adjustments from me. The Equinox mod only replaces the original temple sometime after you complete Meridia's quest. It doesn't remove Malkoran or anything important in that quest. It uses a copy of the original temple which it doesn't delete or anything. So if you already have a save with Malkoran still alive in his boss room, you don't have to worry about anything. And 'deleting' Malkoran would break the original quest. Though if a mod 'removes' an NPC or something else, their record would still be in the game. So if a mod removed Malkoran, you can still find him in the records by doing 'help malkoran' in the console commands for example. Actually, I think he's not uniquely named in the records and is called something like 'dunkilkreathwarlock'. (* looks it up * Oh wow, I got it right; that's actually his editor name. It's been years since I last saw his editor name, haha, I think.) Any mod shouldn't delete important records like that.
@@Caerulean I have seen both of them, but I meant it would be cool to see them more often. 😅 In my battles, he went for the Dremora Lord most of the time, so I didn't really get to see the other summons. By the way, I appreciate that you listed the command to deactivate the Nightbringer spawn in your Nexus description! He kept spawning during my recordings, which led to funny bloopers, but it was a bit much sometimes. 😂 Ohh, good to know! Yeah, that solves the problem. Thanks for the info! I need to try that mod sometime. Are there any changes about it that you have planned? 😄 Fair enough! I have spent a lot of time analyzing Malkoran and everything about him because I was trying to figure out the exact mechanics about his damage, but there are still some things unresolved. That's why I was concerned about anything changing him or his location; if I don't know the exact source of the mechanics, anything that is connected might still affect them. 😅
ngl after that first fight with the hydra i thought he was cooked then its oh he has a second stage ok oh and a third and they do more damage than the first stage. bro fighting dirty lol
@lSlendermaster I had to just run the first time I found the hydra just from all the poison attacks that thing does. I think I fought a harder version of it, too, because it had rapid hp regen 💀
@@typhoonic You use that mod too? 👀 That's awesome! There are no different versions, it's always the same base type. 😄 The Hydra here regenerates health as well, which you can see if you take a close look at the healthbar in the final round. The damage over time from the Bone Colossus' attack, and the Marked for Death shout from the Nightbringer deactivate the regeneration in the other rounds 😄
@@lSlendermaster Ahhh, i see. and yeah, my archer-druid and bard-barbarian both couldn't beat the hydra... I had to send in my mage who eventually overpowered it but also had some good enough barrier spells to not get insta k.o'd like my poor barbarian lol
@@lSlendermaster That's fair I never said it was easy on that the Hydra didn't take a great deal of effort I just don't think I'd put it in my game just because of how it moves.
@@Nobodyss21 My Charstaag (fire version of Karstaag) can beat the Hydra. The vanilla Karstaag can too, and I assume some of the creatures from the Vigilant mod could as well 😄
Hydra is a bit overpowered with it's many phases but the sentinel almost had a chance with his insane damage output.

@@lSlendermaster I can understand that. I use Mod Organizer 2 so I can swap mods in and out with ease. Not during a regular playthrough of course, but if I wanted to record something it'd be useful that way. SIC makes me crash in certain areas, so I get not wanting it for a real playthrough.
Dragon AI is so annoying, honestly. Needs to be more aggressive. Sometimes they just fly off for no reason.
Oh! Apcoalypse spells by Enai has a bunch of new, very cool summons. I don't know if you've tried that one, but they are all pretty interesting.
@@Darksphere101 Ahh, I see! I use Vortex for that. I've sometimes installed and uinstalled mods for testing purposes, but I only keep the ones that I want permanently.
Yeah, for real. 😂 My Skyrim battles episode #50 took me over 20 hours to record because the dragons would fly away when low on health, and then crash into the ground beyond the render distance. It was quite an experience. 😆
Oh yes, I actually have that mod! Sometimes, mages I want to use for my videos spawn with the modded staves, so I'm confused at first what's going on 😆
I feel hydra would be designed better if only one head attacked out at a time. Idk where the author gets 5 heads from cutting off one.
To be fair, I found it a bit strange too. But I like it as a boss mechanic. It's something I've never seen in any game so far, and it's well executed in this mod 😄
One question, does the weather change the Sentinel does every round actually do anything ?
Good question! It causes a mass stagger effect when it starts. Other than that, I don't think it does anything. It's technically a variation of the Storm Call effect that Alduin uses, but without the meteors, and I don't think it has any other effect 🤔
What if you did the combat overhaul mods. For this content.
I wouldn't want to deal with switching through mods constantly 😅
how about a tournament with the bosses from vigilant?
I don't have that mod and am not planning on getting it because it's too big 😅
@@lSlendermaster I understand that but when you consider each mihail monster mod is close to 100mb and vigilant which has 20+ bosses without counting the miniboss NPCs is 800mb I think it could get you more bang for your buck
@@monkiplatts9224 I didn't also mean the file size, but also the mod itself. Like Mihail's mods are pretty straightforward, but with Vigilant, I would probably have to do all the quests first, which I wouldn't want to do just for videos. 😅 Considering even vanilla NPCs can be vastly different depending on quests, scripts, and other things which cause anomalies that you wouldn't expect, I would have to spend a lot of time simply understanding the mod creatures to make fair battles
What mod are you making mobs fight each other?
It's not a mod, just console commands 😄
@@lSlendermaster idk how to do such on my xbox is it just for pc? If so could you give me some basic commands?
@@TheMoltenpepper Commands are only available on PC. For consoles, there might be mods, but they're probably not comparable to the commands.
For example, I spawn NPCs with the "player.placeatme" command. I toggle the global AI by using "tai" and "tdetect", so they won't fight right away. For NPCs that are normally allied with each other, raising their aggression to the highest level is done with "setav aggression 3" on them. With no access to commands, you would need something comparable for basic fights 😅
@@lSlendermaster appreciate you. Thanks for taking the time.
@@TheMoltenpepper You're welcome, I'm glad I could help!
Dude, can you please download precision and enable weapon trail for npc's
I couldn't even if I wanted to because of an incompability 🤷
Just watching this now; I knew my boy Nightbringer wouldn't win against the Hydra. xD There's a lot of strength in numbers not only because sheer quantity but because the AI can only focus on one foe at a time. Cleave and AoE can help, though. 🤔
Anywho, I've yet to get around to making a built-in fix or replacement for Marked for Death. 😅
Oh hey, nice to see you here again! 🥳 He did pretty well still, not a lot of NPCs can even get to the Hydra's second state! But you're right, all the heads were a little too much, especially because he can't shout often enough. 😅
I have read that the Marked for Death glitch got fixed in an AE update, but I still play SE because updating would break some of my mods. 😅
I assume the easiest way to deal with this would be to look at the fix in the update, and apply the same fix in your mod if you care to release it for us SE players as well. 😅
In case you get stuck at some point, maybe I can help. My modding experience is probably not as good as yours, but I have made some things as well. 😄
On a side note: If you don't mind me asking, how did you find my videos? Do you watch Skyrim battles, or did it get recommended to you or something? I've been curious since the first time you commented back then, because it kinda made my day 😂
@@lSlendermaster I only have Classic Skyrim and so what I would probably do is to either make my own Marked For Death shout or add/make another spell to replace it. It's looking like the Nightbringer uses the Dremora Lord summon too much, so maybe I'll add a stronger Shade summon or add a Wraith summon that the AI could consider summoning just as often as the Dremora Lord.
And then when the update gets released for LE, what I do is ask a mod author friend to convert it for SE.
(RE: how I find the videos) So sometimes -this is quite funny and embarrassing 😅 - I like feeling validated or something and look up my mods here on YT or elsewhere, haha.
Anyway, I've had this idea where I make an Auroran creature of mine in another mod hunt the player like Nightbringer if the player is a vampire. :3 Not sure if I'll ever get to it, but: Would you have him (Vyrmilion, in the Equinox mod) fight Nightbringer or something? Haha. Nylhac too~ I think Kharizesthe (Seth) and Ferrine has some combat potential too, maybe.
@@Caerulean Ahh, I see! That sounds good. About the Dremora Lord: I like that he summons that, but a Shade or Wraith would be really interesting too, so I wouldn't mind seeing that. 😄
That's completely understandable! Nothing embarrassing about it. 😄 I'm glad you stumbled upon my videos!
I just took a look at that mod. From what I'm getting, it changes Kilkreath Ruins and might remove Malkoran as well? I want to avoid that because Malkoran's damage output is tied to his location, so the only way I can keep his full potential is by keeping everything there as it is. 😅
@@lSlendermaster The Shade and the Wraith are already in the mod. The Shade looks like the Nightbringer but has no scythe, is weaker, and is a mage. I suspect he doesn't get summoned as much, in your battles is that he's a lower-level summon and I assume you run these at max level, and the AI usually prefers to use their best spells. The Wraith is how the Nightbringer is summoned normally. It's essentially Mihail's dementor but with some adjustments from me.
The Equinox mod only replaces the original temple sometime after you complete Meridia's quest. It doesn't remove Malkoran or anything important in that quest. It uses a copy of the original temple which it doesn't delete or anything. So if you already have a save with Malkoran still alive in his boss room, you don't have to worry about anything.
And 'deleting' Malkoran would break the original quest. Though if a mod 'removes' an NPC or something else, their record would still be in the game. So if a mod removed Malkoran, you can still find him in the records by doing 'help malkoran' in the console commands for example. Actually, I think he's not uniquely named in the records and is called something like 'dunkilkreathwarlock'. (* looks it up * Oh wow, I got it right; that's actually his editor name. It's been years since I last saw his editor name, haha, I think.)
Any mod shouldn't delete important records like that.
@@Caerulean I have seen both of them, but I meant it would be cool to see them more often. 😅 In my battles, he went for the Dremora Lord most of the time, so I didn't really get to see the other summons.
By the way, I appreciate that you listed the command to deactivate the Nightbringer spawn in your Nexus description! He kept spawning during my recordings, which led to funny bloopers, but it was a bit much sometimes. 😂
Ohh, good to know! Yeah, that solves the problem. Thanks for the info! I need to try that mod sometime. Are there any changes about it that you have planned? 😄
Fair enough! I have spent a lot of time analyzing Malkoran and everything about him because I was trying to figure out the exact mechanics about his damage, but there are still some things unresolved. That's why I was concerned about anything changing him or his location; if I don't know the exact source of the mechanics, anything that is connected might still affect them. 😅
ngl after that first fight with the hydra i thought he was cooked then its oh he has a second stage ok oh and a third and they do more damage than the first stage. bro fighting dirty lol
I like the different stages. It's a cool idea. 😂 Maybe a bit much with 4 phases, but still nice
.me think Hydra needs a bit more balancing
Most creatures in this tournament are very strong compared to vanilla opponents, but the Hydra is definitely a little OP 😆
Well it’s designed to be an OP mod creature but you still have a vanilla creature (Karstaag) who can beat it
i will be so happy if this video surpasses the number of view from the previous arena vid
Hmm, I do wonder if it will. 🤔 The other one is going pretty crazy, but this one also got 2000 views in a day 😂
Nice video mate
...hydra ez ...
Thank you! 😎
This should've been the other 7 teaming up against the hydra.
The Hydra would have lost very easily, plus that would be too large, chaotic, and laggy 😄
@@lSlendermaster hmm... how about... team fights? Like the woodland spirit and nordic sentinel vs the hydra and the reaper dude?
@@callumkristofer7793 I'm not into team fights. Those are hard to balance, inconsistent, and hard to watch and record 😅
@@lSlendermaster ah, i see.
@@callumkristofer7793 Thanks for the suggestions anyway!
The problem with the hydra is, that it is so broken, with 4 phases
Yeah, it's definitely OP. Although the Sentinel is too 😆
Essa Hydra é muito apelona, tá doido kkkk
It's one of the most unique modded creatures I know! 😄
@@lSlendermaster 😆😆
hydra went easy on them too assuming most of those enemies are undead and resist the poison attacks
Yes, you're right! All of the creatures here are immune to poison (aside from summons like the Nightbringer's Dremora Lord)
@lSlendermaster I had to just run the first time I found the hydra just from all the poison attacks that thing does. I think I fought a harder version of it, too, because it had rapid hp regen 💀
@@typhoonic You use that mod too? 👀 That's awesome!
There are no different versions, it's always the same base type. 😄 The Hydra here regenerates health as well, which you can see if you take a close look at the healthbar in the final round.
The damage over time from the Bone Colossus' attack, and the Marked for Death shout from the Nightbringer deactivate the regeneration in the other rounds 😄
@@lSlendermaster Ahhh, i see. and yeah, my archer-druid and bard-barbarian both couldn't beat the hydra... I had to send in my mage who eventually overpowered it but also had some good enough barrier spells to not get insta k.o'd like my poor barbarian lol
@@typhoonic He Hydra is *very* OP indeed! 😂 Was it a fun fight for you or rather frustrating?
The Hydra is so poorly animated I was really hoping it would lose so I could see some more of the others. Oh well.
I think it's really well done actually. Remember, almost all modded creatures use vanilla animations, and it's very difficult making new ones 😄
@@lSlendermaster That's fair I never said it was easy on that the Hydra didn't take a great deal of effort I just don't think I'd put it in my game just because of how it moves.
@@bornkinggamer3347 Fair enough! 😄
Hydra basically has 3 life + minions. She needs to die after she is defeated twice because respawn 3 times + minions is too much.
I like the multiple phases, but it's debatable how many would be best, so I'm not disagreeing 😄
HES SO COOL! BUT HES SO DUMB! -Team Four Star Vegeta
I don't even know that reference, but it already sounds hilarious! 😂
Achei cômico como o "Ancient nordic" só deu um tapinha pra dar hitkill
You mean that he only needed two hits to kill most of his opponents? 😅
This is why I pay for internet❤
Great you're being entertained! 😎
What about Waifu Warfare where you put all the skyrim Waifus against each other.
Ah, *that* section of Skyrim 😆
@@lSlendermaster The winner gets to face Cicero the clown.
@@Browncurse Oh no 😂
Hydra is the strongest creature in skyrim mod. Even Dwarven Colossus cant beat them
There are stronger creatures than the Hydra, but not many are as unique! 😎
@@lSlendermasterOmg, there are creature mod stronger than Hydra?? Can u pls tell me sir😵💫
@@Nobodyss21 My Charstaag (fire version of Karstaag) can beat the Hydra. The vanilla Karstaag can too, and I assume some of the creatures from the Vigilant mod could as well 😄
hope never see that in nolvus Lol
What's nolvus? 😅
@@lSlendermaster look nolvus mod its mod pack combined total of 2000 mod+
@@nagatoshinto5911 Ahh, I see!
Hydra looks mediocre, and its movement animations look super clunky. But it's an interesting idea.
I think the look is great, but the animations do look kinda clunky, yeah. It's unfortunate how hard animating in Skyrim is
@@lSlendermaster Yeah, I watched it again and changed my mind a bit. To be fair, I couldn't something half as good, so there is that, lol.
@@kittredge5167 Same! 😂 It's still one of the most unique mods I've seen so far
Hydra cheated. Way too many stages to be fair at all. Looks like the Hydra had a repeat code bug or something.
It does have 4 phases in total. It's not a bug, just the design of it 😄
lmao homie got witcher 3 monster
The Woodland Spirit? 🤔
The hydra s not fair
It's overpowered, but all participants here are immune to its poison, which makes a huge difference 😄
Man the ki of the sentinel is so dumb hahahah. He is taunting the enemy 24/7 and then two shots them
Yeah, he's based on Dwarven Centurions, which aren't exactly the smartest 😂
@@lSlendermaster true the spinning animation hahahah
@@ElGrandeFalco Yeah, that too! 😂
Hydra is too powerfull because he got his head allies, there will no one win agains them
Karstaag easily beats the Hydra 😆
@@lSlendermaster oh 😥 I totaly forgot him hört can I forgot this Beast
@@timimy1009 To be fair, he's the only vanilla NPC who can beat the Hydra! 😂
I literally love these trash Skyrim contents.
Nice that you enjoy it!
Hydra is shit in design and power scalling, another absurd mod
I think it's one of the better mod designs out there. Those things are not easy 🤷
I subscribed by the way )
Cool, thanks and welcome! 😎
