Skyrim Battles - Skuldafn vs. Alduin, Karstaag, and the Ebony Warrior

Описание: Skuldafn is the ancient Nordic tomb that contains a portal to Sovngarde. It can be one of the toughest locations in the game because it's crowded with high-level draugr, including the devastating archers that can ragdoll and potentially one-shot you.

This episode is a sort of new concept. Instead of having relatively simple 1 vs. 1 confrontations, we get to see a few strong NPCs trying to conquer Skuldafn and beat all the draugr within reach.

All three rounds were difficult to record for different reasons. Alduin flies around and lands at random places. It's very hard to predict where to move the camera to record everything close-up. Karstaag often gets confused about how to reach the draugr and walks around aimlessly for a bit, making him very vulnerable to the arrows.
The Ebony Warrior is much better at that, but his round took a very long time, and it was really challenging keeping up a proper camera work throughout the whole fight. In particular, I wanted to capture bow shots, shouts and ragdolls, kills, and the Ebony Warrior's movements smoothly, without moving the camera too far away or into a wall. There are no cuts during the fights, so everything needed to work out from start to finish.

All the draugr in this video have spawned naturally. I did not add any myself. Some aren't even part of the battles because they're too far away to become aggressive, like on the topmost platform where the two neutral dragons and the portal are.
This is also the reason why Nahkriin isn't included here. I could have put him somewhere else, but he's certainly not needed to kill Alduin and Karstaag. The round with the Ebony Warrior is already very long with "only" the draugr, and I'm glad not to have to deal with the shitty Dragon Priest AI in a complex setup like this one. The main damage dealers by far are the four Deathlord archers anyway.

In the blooper clip, the Ebony Warrior's health dropped from 1504 to -1933, so the fall did 3437 damage.
