So Vosl Aar Um turns into 'Your Able Servant of the Voice', while Naasl Aar Um turns into 'Your Corpse Servant of the Voice'. Translated.

The Forgotten Vale dragons do land, in all of my Dawnguard playthroughs I've seen them land, and someone in the comment section corrected you on the skeletal dragon being the only dragon you can fight before Dragon Rising - You forgot the Soul Cairn exists, a certain undead dragon wants a word with you Nate

You can even take part in a ritual for the transformation. Though you sort of have to cut it short, on account of her intending to murder you to death and her daughter wanting no part in the whole thing.
@@gooddogreallygooddog6157 The first fight is EASY. Your Dragonrend recharges a second after he takes off, so you can just Dragonrend him again. Load him with Arrows while Partysnax distracts him, and hide partially behind the big rock on the Throat of the World. It's super easy. I'll tell you what's hard, it's a fight with a dragon and three lurkers at your back!
Honestly, one of the hardest minor boss antagonists I've ever face is during the quest forbidden legends. Facing the Gauldurson is one thing, but three of them at once!
Well, they didnt give me much trouble, i just stayed near the altar while sneaking and pelting them with exploding bolts and just watching them trying to look for me XD
50% of the college leaves to study necromancy. Arch mage: no problem who cares. They’ve got a few overdue books and are refusing to pay. Arch mage: kill them all! No one can have an overdue book!
The 2 dovahs beneath the ice are clearly the most memorable for me. When I walked over this frozen lake for the first time I've got the distinct feeling of "it's quite... too quite..." and then those two dovahs just popping out of their icy depth... That really baffled me big time and the tough fight made it not only unique, but it really felt legendary. Oh and one thing: I wouldn't really say that Odahviing switched sides per se. He was always pursuing his own beliefs his whole life and when he felt that Alduin isn't really worth following anymore he just did his own "thing". And when he finally was imprisoned by the Dovahkiin, his cooperation is (at least in my opinion) mostly because he wants to see that he was right with his decision to abandon Alduin. After the Dovahkiin defeated Alduin it mostly feels like that he's grateful for proving him right and that he's aware that he better shouldn't mess with the Dovahkiin. Although he offered his services to the Dovahkiin, he still said that if you call him for aid, he will come *when he can*. This implies that he's still doing his own thing from that point on, but since he acknowledged the power of the Dovahkiin and wants to keep a good impression he will come for aid as long it doesn't really prevent him from going his own way. (Of course: Everything's my own point of view and it's not really based on facts and lore)
interesting fact about the last 2 dragons we do know how long they've been there if you go there during the dawnguard quest without advancing the main quest to the point dragons spawn there will be 2 dragon skeletons under the ice and if you go when they are resurrected the skeletons are gone
I would love a dlc where you get stuck In a time portal and traveled through morrowind and oblivion trying to fix the timeline and could cross paths with the past protagonist's. Idk I would just love that

One of the quests explains that hagravens were once witches/hags that go through a ceremony to become a hagraven. It's a hard to find tower somewhere in the south of Skyrim but I do remember the mage you help explaining that she wants to stop her mother from becoming a hagraven and if you help her she becomes a follower.
@@fugo5464 I think Miraak is the best final boss because he introduces the most new stuff to the game, dragon taming and riding and the Dragon Aspect shout has got to be my favourite shout in the game. Both Harkon and Alduin are kinda cool but once you've beaten them but Miraak is just too cool - The Last Dragonborn vs the First, it's too perfect.
@@Harry-iq4xt honestly, Harkon was easily the toughest of these three for me. Alduin was quite easy and somehow I managed to kill Miraak without any large trouble. But I fought Harkon a thousand times and he just always beat my ass.
I remember the two dragons. Great fun fight as I recall. Though I wasn't alone. I had Serana, I summoned Arneil to help. Maybe Durniveir with a shout, don't recall.
Regarding Drascua: it's obvious she became a Hagraven after she left Markarth, through a Forsworn ritual. She probably felt she'd be able to protect the Pommel better that way. Perhaps she came close to losing it during the Markarth Incident, and she felt this was the only way to become strong enough to fulfill her obligation.
The twin dragons were my all-time-high first time I met them. Way past level 50, playing with my armored-battlemage, throwing thunderbolt like crazy and using a lot of restoration to keep my head above water. Hard as hell to evade them, the greatest battle I fought before retiring my PS3
The twin dragons in the forgotten vale scared the hell out of me when they appeared. Also, if I remember correctly, you can use the dragon rend shout to force to dragons to land and I’m pretty sure it works (I remember taking them out while they were grounded but it was ages ago since I fought them so I don’t quite remember).
I absolutely love that you add in bits of lore to everything you list seriously I have learned more from watching you than playing the game for thousands of hours
Nate you should know that using the Skyrim menu music can lead to a copyright strike because another creator made a cover and owns the right according to UA-cam. Ymfah has gotten a strike for this reason
Hagravens are not "born" they are converted. Though i believe they maybe able to give birth. And according to the internet. There seems to be some people that are willing to take on that task.
Considering you as the Dragonborn is apparently one of the people who are ready to jump the bones of a hagraven, maybe it's not that much of a stretch, even though blackout amounts of alcohol was involved.
The twin dragon fight was one of my favourite dragon fights ever. They weren’t super hard (especially with Serana and her mother as followers) they were a little tricky but they’re so unique and so surprising that I couldn’t help but love them
The Caller is a reather fun enemy, though I always try to keep my High Elven student alive and at my side for the fight (my first Archmage ever just managed that). The Skeleton Dragon? FINALLY battled it (again, First Archmage) and it was, way easier than I expected (of course, I had 75-80% Destruction reductions, and was Dual Casting fireball after fireball, taking a few shots at the skeltons around). Hagraven? I havent done Pieces of the Past in quite a few plays, so I dont recall her, but I do know I managed to take her out with trouble (I think it was a stealth archer). Havent fought Minorne yet, though I hope to soon. I never did the side quest to get Florentius, but hope to in my current playthrough. The Dragon Twins. Ah, yes. Only One time have I fought them, but after slaying the first, I was finally able to call Durnheviir to my side for the first time. Gotta say, I was crying a bit in joy when he helped me down that difficult second one. Now if he could have only helped against the Arch Curate. I never beat him... DARN HIS ATRONACH!
The arch curate tho XD remember when he runs to the balcony and stays at the edge? I just frickin used Unrelenting Force Shout to throw him off the cliff then waited for the shout to cool down the used Become Ethereal to jump down to loot him XD
The skeletal dragon gives you the opportunity to craft a legit way to get dragon bones and craft a dragon bone weapon before doing Dragon Rising, meaning you have a LEGIT WAY to kill the very first dragon you kill in the game, with a dragon bone weapon. I've done it several times. It's so much fun!
Legendary can be tough, I recommend an enchanted dragonscale shield that resists frost and fire enchantments by 35% or more. The shield does work! It's better than using a ward spell cuz it won't drain your magicka. Playing range and hiding behind a rock is pretty cheap and boring, but you sound like you're willing to try anything to beat them, so that's a suggestion. An enchanted shield, a good bow and arrow, with a lot of healing potions (including resist fire or cold), healing spell, and you should be good. You could try destruction spells but you're better off using a bow and arrow. I rather save my magicka for quick healing personally. I guess it just really depends on your playstyle. Full on mage is effective for sure but once your magicka runs out, you're going to rely on conventional weapons like bows and swords anyways. When it comes to close combat with a sword and shield, it's risky as hell, especially in skyrim vr where sometimes your shield block doesn't register, and you got full on hit by a bite or blast of fire, which is why healing potions is a must. Direct damage (power slashes) is always better but little room for a quick run away or general effective defense. Even Charging towards a legendary dragon with an enchanted shield and decent steel sword is pretty fucking stupid but Damn fun when it works and you still survive. I think it's a given that you should have a follower in your hunts and ventures. May talos guide you, traveler.

So it was just a necromancer arch-mage and a bloodthirsty werewolf, having a nice little chat before i ripped her apart.

Those two dragons could land. I know that for a fact because I saw it. I was in The Vail with Serana and Cicero and in the middle of fighting I saw one land. I was trying to shoot it and I was not missing, but it's health wouldn't go down. That was until I realized Cicero was on it's head stabbing at it. He was doing that one death move.
That skeletal dragon is also in an underground cave, where there is not much room for it to fly anway. It could maybe a jumped around though, or flown up and climbed on the ceiling or something, that could have been cool. In contrast, that dragon you can fight in Blackreach, well it's in Blackreach. Which is huge, and had plenty of room for the dragon to fly around.
The skeletal dragon has a weakness to fire, and the most powerful boss in the game is the annoying frost troll that you encounter on your way to high hrothgar that kills lydia 50% of the time
A quick thing about number 6. Post skyrim main storyline and you have Dragon Rend, you can force them to land on the ice or if you're on the island, they'll land on the word wall.
also regarding hagravens, they all were once human but gave up their humanity for power via a ritual (as shown in the repentance quest)- there’s not a lot of information about them but it’s worth looking into!
hey for the things you probably didn't know series not sure if you have already but you might want to include this. you can get both the demon hounds of the valkihar vampires and the Huskies and trolls of the dawnguard if you get to the point just after deciding to become a vampire (choose to be a vampire) take the dog to a hearthfire home with a child have them ask you to keep it say yes adopting it then go back to the dawnguard and redeem yourself to them by talking to isran and curing your vampirism then continue like normal and you will have free access to the trolls and the Huskies along with one of the demon dogs (you cant take two as your children will only adopt once) it is also generally recommended that if you want as much stuff as possible you should always go with dawnguard even when you aren't doing this as their artifacts are far more powerful there are more of them you can still get a few of the vampire artifacts just not all of them the questline is slightly easier and you can still turn back into a vampire whenever you want at the end of the quest line
Tiny Detail (sort of) The Ignite spell (granted by Ahzidal’s Ring of Arcana) actually stacks. It has a very low base cost at higher levels (down to 8 magic, iirc) so it can be repeatedly casted. If you hit the same target a few times, it will make even the strongest of dragons a total joke.
In the Forgotten Vale, if you go off the frozen lake and onto the snow banks, they will generally land there beside you. This makes the fight so much easier.
If I hadn't already learned of the two Revered Dragons in the Forgotten Vale from videos like this, I surely would've crapped myself with fear at seeing them in the DLC when I finally got to play it months ago. Hearing that they refuse to land, though, still had me dreading the encounter. ("Oh NO, this is the place...!") But... Well, they actually WOULD land on the ice for me, as it turns out. 😂 Mostly on the outer parameter of the lake and on the Word Wall, but it was enough to give me an edge.
All those necromancers leaving is why the College of Winterhold has like 7 people attending XD.
And then there's only like 3 left when you finish the quest.

Oh come on, Nate, it's already confirmed that Hagravens used to be humans. That info was as old as that arrow in the knee story. 😂

You can even take part in a ritual for the transformation. Though you sort of have to cut it short, on account of her intending to murder you to death and her daughter wanting no part in the whole thing.

It's sad that half of these bosses are harder than Alduin.
Hedgehogs Rounded the first fight against alduin is actually pretty hard
@@gooddogreallygooddog6157 if your level 3 than yes
Tsun is harder than the first fight with Alduin.
@@gooddogreallygooddog6157 The first fight is EASY. Your Dragonrend recharges a second after he takes off, so you can just Dragonrend him again. Load him with Arrows while Partysnax distracts him, and hide partially behind the big rock on the Throat of the World. It's super easy. I'll tell you what's hard, it's a fight with a dragon and three lurkers at your back!
@@rebelgaming1.5.14 I cheesed Miraak by just... Using Dragon Aspect and Beast Form and a summon then I was good
Honestly, one of the hardest minor boss antagonists I've ever face is during the quest forbidden legends. Facing the Gauldurson is one thing, but three of them at once!
Agreed. I wasn't able to beat them easily even when I was covered in glass armour from head to toe
Well, they didnt give me much trouble, i just stayed near the altar while sneaking and pelting them with exploding bolts and just watching them trying to look for me XD
one of my favourite boss fights! super underrated
You can go into Sneak by the altar and get a sneak shot with your favorite bow, that should help out
I cheesed them with stealth archery lmao

The 2 dovahs beneath the ice are clearly the most memorable for me. When I walked over this frozen lake for the first time I've got the distinct feeling of "it's quite... too quite..." and then those two dovahs just popping out of their icy depth... That really baffled me big time and the tough fight made it not only unique, but it really felt legendary.
Oh and one thing: I wouldn't really say that Odahviing switched sides per se. He was always pursuing his own beliefs his whole life and when he felt that Alduin isn't really worth following anymore he just did his own "thing". And when he finally was imprisoned by the Dovahkiin, his cooperation is (at least in my opinion) mostly because he wants to see that he was right with his decision to abandon Alduin. After the Dovahkiin defeated Alduin it mostly feels like that he's grateful for proving him right and that he's aware that he better shouldn't mess with the Dovahkiin. Although he offered his services to the Dovahkiin, he still said that if you call him for aid, he will come *when he can*. This implies that he's still doing his own thing from that point on, but since he acknowledged the power of the Dovahkiin and wants to keep a good impression he will come for aid as long it doesn't really prevent him from going his own way. (Of course: Everything's my own point of view and it's not really based on facts and lore)
interesting fact about the last 2 dragons we do know how long they've been there if you go there during the dawnguard quest without advancing the main quest to the point dragons spawn there will be 2 dragon skeletons under the ice and if you go when they are resurrected the skeletons are gone
I would love a dlc where you get stuck In a time portal and traveled through morrowind and oblivion trying to fix the timeline and could cross paths with the past protagonist's. Idk I would just love that

One of the quests explains that hagravens were once witches/hags that go through a ceremony to become a hagraven. It's a hard to find tower somewhere in the south of Skyrim but I do remember the mage you help explaining that she wants to stop her mother from becoming a hagraven and if you help her she becomes a follower.
Darklight Tower in the Rift
And most probably the best mage follower for me
The Dragonborn is actually the greatest final boss in all of Skyrim.
Thats. Technically accurate. Cuz miraak is a dragonborn. But wether theyre the best final boss is now opinion :p
@@fugo5464 I think Miraak is the best final boss because he introduces the most new stuff to the game, dragon taming and riding and the Dragon Aspect shout has got to be my favourite shout in the game. Both Harkon and Alduin are kinda cool but once you've beaten them but Miraak is just too cool - The Last Dragonborn vs the First, it's too perfect.
That holds true for another reason. To the Ebony Warrior, you are the Final Boss.
@@Harry-iq4xt honestly, Harkon was easily the toughest of these three for me. Alduin was quite easy and somehow I managed to kill Miraak without any large trouble. But I fought Harkon a thousand times and he just always beat my ass.
@@rankovasek1987 harkon was easy for me, but miraak took me a long time to kill.
I remember the two dragons. Great fun fight as I recall. Though I wasn't alone. I had Serana, I summoned Arneil to help. Maybe Durniveir with a shout, don't recall.
Hey Nate, it's notification guys, here.
Regarding Drascua: it's obvious she became a Hagraven after she left Markarth, through a Forsworn ritual. She probably felt she'd be able to protect the Pommel better that way. Perhaps she came close to losing it during the Markarth Incident, and she felt this was the only way to become strong enough to fulfill her obligation.
It's always so neat to learn more about enemies and characters I never took the time to learn about. Thanks dude 😊✌
The twin dragons were my all-time-high first time I met them.
Way past level 50, playing with my armored-battlemage, throwing thunderbolt like crazy and using a lot of restoration to keep my head above water. Hard as hell to evade them, the greatest battle I fought before retiring my PS3
I wish stuff like minornes staff actually did what it should do, for example instead of casting a weak calm spell you can mind control people
The twin dragons in the forgotten vale scared the hell out of me when they appeared. Also, if I remember correctly, you can use the dragon rend shout to force to dragons to land and I’m pretty sure it works (I remember taking them out while they were grounded but it was ages ago since I fought them so I don’t quite remember).
7:02 Ah yes, my favorite daedric Lord. Maroon.
Oh yes. I kneel before the might of...-looks at hand- darkish red.

If the dragonborn didnt kill her and take the part, who was hagraven gonna give it to? I dont see something like that getting any kids
I dunno. Considering most forsworn females sound like the stereotypical Jersey mother-in-law, there's bound to be some guy that desperate.
Havravens sometimes kidnap women and turn them into more hagravens, so maybe that's who would get it.
Hagravens are not "born" they are converted. Though i believe they maybe able to give birth. And according to the internet. There seems to be some people that are willing to take on that task.
@@TheDouble094 i know they are "blessed" by a deadra if remember right. Just seems weird getting it on with a bird woman
Considering you as the Dragonborn is apparently one of the people who are ready to jump the bones of a hagraven, maybe it's not that much of a stretch, even though blackout amounts of alcohol was involved.
The twin dragon fight was one of my favourite dragon fights ever. They weren’t super hard (especially with Serana and her mother as followers) they were a little tricky but they’re so unique and so surprising that I couldn’t help but love them

Nate says hes clickbaiting us by including an extra fact. I cant say how much I love this guy
The Caller is a reather fun enemy, though I always try to keep my High Elven student alive and at my side for the fight (my first Archmage ever just managed that).
The Skeleton Dragon? FINALLY battled it (again, First Archmage) and it was, way easier than I expected (of course, I had 75-80% Destruction reductions, and was Dual Casting fireball after fireball, taking a few shots at the skeltons around).
Hagraven? I havent done Pieces of the Past in quite a few plays, so I dont recall her, but I do know I managed to take her out with trouble (I think it was a stealth archer).
Havent fought Minorne yet, though I hope to soon. I never did the side quest to get Florentius, but hope to in my current playthrough.
The Dragon Twins. Ah, yes. Only One time have I fought them, but after slaying the first, I was finally able to call Durnheviir to my side for the first time. Gotta say, I was crying a bit in joy when he helped me down that difficult second one. Now if he could have only helped against the Arch Curate. I never beat him... DARN HIS ATRONACH!
The arch curate tho XD remember when he runs to the balcony and stays at the edge? I just frickin used Unrelenting Force Shout to throw him off the cliff then waited for the shout to cool down the used Become Ethereal to jump down to loot him XD
Noxius Gamer I only managed to battle him the one time, but I may take that Fus Ro Dah advice. May not though, since it would be too easy.
Well it was an accident on my part,
I didnt know I could throw him off the cliff like that XD
The skeletal dragon gives you the opportunity to craft a legit way to get dragon bones and craft a dragon bone weapon before doing Dragon Rising, meaning you have a LEGIT WAY to kill the very first dragon you kill in the game, with a dragon bone weapon.
I've done it several times. It's so much fun!
Last time i was this early high king torygg was still alive
You’ve forgot about Durnehviir. He is both a Dovah you can face before Dragon Rising and a unique dialogue encounter should you decide to do so.
For "The Caller" quest what happens if you use illusion magic to calm all the enemies till you get to her and not kill a single enemy?
Oh man I love this channel so much. I hope you never run out of things to find in Skyrim ❤️
Those two dragons are why I couldn’t beat the Dawnguard DLC... I just couldn’t kill them and after like my tenth try, I stopped trying...
Legendary can be tough, I recommend an enchanted dragonscale shield that resists frost and fire enchantments by 35% or more. The shield does work! It's better than using a ward spell cuz it won't drain your magicka. Playing range and hiding behind a rock is pretty cheap and boring, but you sound like you're willing to try anything to beat them, so that's a suggestion. An enchanted shield, a good bow and arrow, with a lot of healing potions (including resist fire or cold), healing spell, and you should be good. You could try destruction spells but you're better off using a bow and arrow. I rather save my magicka for quick healing personally. I guess it just really depends on your playstyle. Full on mage is effective for sure but once your magicka runs out, you're going to rely on conventional weapons like bows and swords anyways.
When it comes to close combat with a sword and shield, it's risky as hell, especially in skyrim vr where sometimes your shield block doesn't register, and you got full on hit by a bite or blast of fire, which is why healing potions is a must. Direct damage (power slashes) is always better but little room for a quick run away or general effective defense. Even Charging towards a legendary dragon with an enchanted shield and decent steel sword is pretty fucking stupid but Damn fun when it works and you still survive. I think it's a given that you should have a follower in your hunts and ventures. May talos guide you, traveler.

One more thing about "the Caller", she also says and i qoute," Oh another of Aren's lackeys, shame your with the college, You show real PROMISE".
The Caller is one of my favourite antagonists. So refreshing
I have a funny tale to tell about the first time i met the caller, i was level 37 on my first character, heavy armor duel wield khajiit, i was absolutely ripping through her forces as a near maxed out werewolf. When i got to her, she popped out the same dialogue as if you were talking normally, and i was able to talk back. So it was just a necromancer arch-mage and a bloodthirsty werewolf, having a nice little chat before i ripped her apart.

Those two dragons could land. I know that for a fact because I saw it.
I was in The Vail with Serana and Cicero and in the middle of fighting I saw one land. I was trying to shoot it and I was not missing, but it's health wouldn't go down. That was until I realized Cicero was on it's head stabbing at it.
He was doing that one death move.
What you said about Drascua looking different while living in Markarth, reminded me of Sméagol/Gollum in LOTR.
The last one scared the absolute piss out of me lmao, but they weren't terribly hard to beat with Serana
That skeletal dragon is also in an underground cave, where there is not much room for it to fly anway. It could maybe a jumped around though, or flown up and climbed on the ceiling or something, that could have been cool.
In contrast, that dragon you can fight in Blackreach, well it's in Blackreach. Which is huge, and had plenty of room for the dragon to fly around.
i forgot about that 2 dragons fight and i remember having sooo much fun w that one lol
Woah now, murdering to death before 2:30 in? Was not ready for that good sir
The skeletal dragon has a weakness to fire, and the most powerful boss in the game is the annoying frost troll that you encounter on your way to high hrothgar that kills lydia 50% of the time
A quick thing about number 6. Post skyrim main storyline and you have Dragon Rend, you can force them to land on the ice or if you're on the island, they'll land on the word wall.
also regarding hagravens, they all were once human but gave up their humanity for power via a ritual (as shown in the repentance quest)- there’s not a lot of information about them but it’s worth looking into!
I remember my 1st time fighting the twin dragons at the end. Boy did I get surprised.
hey for the things you probably didn't know series not sure if you have already but you might want to include this. you can get both the demon hounds of the valkihar vampires and the Huskies and trolls of the dawnguard if you get to the point just after deciding to become a vampire (choose to be a vampire) take the dog to a hearthfire home with a child have them ask you to keep it say yes adopting it then go back to the dawnguard and redeem yourself to them by talking to isran and curing your vampirism then continue like normal and you will have free access to the trolls and the Huskies along with one of the demon dogs (you cant take two as your children will only adopt once) it is also generally recommended that if you want as much stuff as possible you should always go with dawnguard even when you aren't doing this as their artifacts are far more powerful there are more of them you can still get a few of the vampire artifacts just not all of them the questline is slightly easier and you can still turn back into a vampire whenever you want at the end of the quest line
Tiny Detail (sort of)
The Ignite spell (granted by Ahzidal’s Ring of Arcana) actually stacks. It has a very low base cost at higher levels (down to 8 magic, iirc) so it can be repeatedly casted. If you hit the same target a few times, it will make even the strongest of dragons a total joke.
In the Forgotten Vale, if you go off the frozen lake and onto the snow banks, they will generally land there beside you. This makes the fight so much easier.
If I hadn't already learned of the two Revered Dragons in the Forgotten Vale from videos like this, I surely would've crapped myself with fear at seeing them in the DLC when I finally got to play it months ago. Hearing that they refuse to land, though, still had me dreading the encounter. ("Oh NO, this is the place...!")
But... Well, they actually WOULD land on the ice for me, as it turns out. 😂 Mostly on the outer parameter of the lake and on the Word Wall, but it was enough to give me an edge.
