This mod is a WIP. please play through mod first before suggesting any feedback related to the fight.Its playable in its current state but if there is something you would like to see added/tweaked please let me know in the comments below. i want to improve my modding capabilities so feedback is most appreciated. Be nice and constructive.
yes this mod should still work regardless of your version of skyrim se you have. just be careful of other mods that edit boss stats like miraak's. check edit for conflicts.
Alright, great! I assume this isn't happening considering it's last updated 2016, but have you gone back on fixing that fire breath aim issue MrDutchguy mentioned via dependency on USSEP, or is it not actually a problem?
i havent touched this mod for a very long time and currently not modding skyrim atm but if i remember correctly, i could not confirm myself whether or not he actually had a fire breath aim issue. i could try adding the depenency to ussep but im not entirely sure its actually needed.
thank u for this mod, this so great boss, my character build dual sword with slow time shout full smith enchant alchemi archer but very hard to beat him. that's great mod everyone should try. sorry for my bad english
I challenged myself to beat Miraak in a shouting/mage battle, in Legendary difficulty, and after I installed this mod, I thought, that Miraak, would simply have more health and health regen. Just after the battle starts, and I watched that he could use lightning storms and paralysis with ONE hand, I was like: "MuM PiCkEd Me Up, I'm ScArEd" XD I personally recommend to battle against Miraak, using this mod, +with legendary difficulty.
ty. this comment made my day. i want to come back to this mod at some point and make him more unique with custom shouts etc. im glad you enjoy what i made for my first mod :D
On a scale of 1-10 how difficult is this mod? My build accidentally got stacked through unexpected mod spell combos (Just in case anyone knows this one, dreadwyrm trance and hethoths grimoire, absolutely fucked combination, which I think are from two different mods). So I'm looking for something with absolutely FUCKED high difficulty.
it should...you will know if it works if he uses paralysis and double lightning storm spell. im going through some stuff irl but im hoping to come back and make this mod better after its all sorted. i want to make miraak more dynamic in his fighting by adding some dragon shouts etc to him to make him more unique and challenging. its still a learning process for me but the end result is phenomenal if i can pull it off as tinkering with miraak is only the beginning of what i want to do with him.
So for people considering downloading this mod, I'd like to give a couple examples as to what exactly changes in the fight:
- Miraak has much more health. In vanilla, Miraak's normal health is that of something like a Draugr Scourge / Deathlord excluding the health regains he gets from absorbing dragon souls. With this mod, his health pool has pretty much doubled excluding health regen from absorbing dragon souls (though probably a bit more than that), which is a good thing because it makes the fight go from like 3-4 minutes total to about 10.
- He has a spell similar to the master level shock Destruction spell, though it looks more like he's casting lightning bolts extremely quickly (like 5-10 bolts a second). I had a ton of spell absorption when I fought Miraak, so I can't really judge whether this was too much, but it didn't seem like it. You'll actually have to think about casting atronachs to keep Miraak's attention away from you, getting some shock resist or just using a health potion.
- Miraak has a Paralyze spell, which can be pretty annoying at first until you start looking for when he has the spell out. If you're a mage you can dodge it fairly well while casting atronachs and using destruction magic. For warriors maybe something like Spellbreaker would be a good idea? In any case it depends on the build how annoying the Paralyze can be, but I liked it because you have to keep track of which spells Miraak has out.
- Maybe this is a vanilla bug, but Miraak had a tendency to for some reason miss his Fire Breath shout constantly. I have the Unofficial Patch downloaded so either the patch doesn't fix this vanilla bug or it stems from this mod.
the shock spell he uses is actually lightning storm and he uses it in one hand....but for some reason he likes to use 2 seperate versions of it in each hand so it may be a bit much...ill look into the fire breath issue see if i can make this mod dependant on the unofficial patch. i had honestly not thought it would matter but unofficial patch touches alot of stuff including race records now. may add a command deadra spell to make him a bit harder but that may make him impossible to kill then lol. let me know if you like this idea.
Sorry for the late reply. Command Daedra sounds like an awesome addition and would definitely make the fight harder. You can become pretty overpowered in Skyrim anyway so I'd say it fits that Miraak would be too. I'd say go for it!

I always considered miraak a final boss over alduin and now he deserves this spot
