Introduction & Fight

The mod adds an optional boss fight to Soul Cairn. It includes a small new castle, customized battle AI with unique spells, attacks, perks and abilities. He can summon swarms of creatures from Soul Cairn as well as vampire related creatures. For attacking, he uses a mixture of swords and blood/shock/frost magic. He is weak to fire magic, just like every other vampire.

Lord Yorma switches between four different combat styles and has scripted abilities to make fighting him feel even more unique. He is sometimes accompanied by minions from clan Volkihar. Sometimes the gargoyle statues will crumble, sometimes not. His voice lines are also situational, so overall fighting him should feel like a fresh experience even if you have to do it many times.

His castle can be found from the eastern part of Soul Cairn. If you don't want to search for it, you can enter "coc soulcairnpoirj02" to console to teleport straight next to his home. The fight is completely optional and after killing him you can loot his swords as a reward. The swords are not overpowered when wielded by others, they are similar in power level and price to ebony swords. I don't like introducing power creep.


Level 160 & level 50

I made two versions of the mod available for download. Level 160 version is for those who want a challenge and it's also the main version. It's not impossible to defeat, I spent a lot of time testing it to make sure that it's beatable on Legendary difficulty without crafting, but of course it requires a late game character with good strategy and likely multiple attempts. It's much stronger than vanilla Karstaag or Ebony Warrior and easily defeats them 1v1.

Level 50 version is about as difficult as other level 50 bosses in vanilla Skyrim. Much easier than the level 160 one, it's less aggressive, has far less damage, stats, perks and weaker summons & minions.

Check the "FILES" tab to see the two options, only download one of them.


Asset Credits

Huge thanks to gearshout for open permission on asset use for Vampire Royal Knight Armor and CaBal120 for written permission on texture use. The armor that Lord Yorma is wearing is unobtainable from my mod (it wouldn't really make sense, since the boss is wearing a much larger size of it than the player. Also, since I only had public permission for the asset use from gearshouts mod page, and wasn't able to directly contact him, I made it unobtainable out of respect). If you want the same armor to your character you need gearshouts amazing Vampire Royal Knight Armor from here: https://www.nexusmods.com./skyrimspecialedition/mods/63021

Thanks to BluePwnsU on Youtube for a tutorial on how to change between combat styles.


Compatibility & Installation

Should be compatible with everything, since there's like no content mods for Soul Cairn... Can be installed in the middle of a save, do it outside of Soul Cairn though.
