Greetings Wizards! Your boy is back and with one of his longest vids to date! 🧙‍♂ *FAQs* Q: Can't you scale the mountainside to reach Volsung without having to enter Volskygge? 🧙‍♂ Indeed you can! I forgot to mention this and is a much easier and faster way of obtaining the Volsung mask. Q: Doesn’t the Greater Power, “Highborn”, allow Altmers to increase their rate of magicka regeneration by 25x for 60 seconds once per day, not 25%? 🧙‍♂️ Quite right! Apologies for the error - have been playing a Nord for far too long 😅 Q: Can't the Dragon Priest Masks be worn with a Falmer Helmet for increased armor and additional enchantments? 🧙‍♂ Indeed they can! Dragon Priest Masks with a low base armor rating like Morokei will benefit the most, but all masks will benefit from additional enchantments. You could have a total of 5 enchantments on your head alone! The Falmer helmet can also be equipped and worn at the same time as any circlet, Penitus Oculatus helmet, and the Masque of Clavicus Vile. Q: Isn’t Volsung tempered with a Corundum Ingot? 🧙‍♂️ Oops! Yes, that’s quite right! It’s not tempered by Ebony Ingots but by Corundum Ingots. Q: What mod list are you using? 🧙‍♂️ That would be Septimus - Anniversary Edition Extended from Wabbajack.

You can walk right up the side of the hill directly to the Word Wall and Dragon Priest, skipping the entire dungeon. And I've noticed that if you start hitting him with a melee weapon as soon as he exits his coffin and then keep wailing on him, he just _doesn't_ attack you.

I will say, the masks become a lot more useful in Survival mode, since they often handle problems that are introduced by the new rules, or make them easier to deal with. Also, Morokei and Konahrik are my favorite masks.

The shock one , and the one that increases magica with destruction cast reduction are my favorite ones.

Volsung was the first dragon priest i ever found playing Skyrim so it forever has a place in my heart... + It looks aweasome

The fact that people are STILL making content about skyrim is both incredible and absolutely baffeling to me. xD

The best usage of the masks is the multiple armor sets glitch, wearing every single mask and all those buffs stacked 🤣

Another well made video from the wizard, before this I never thought to combine frost and shock to take advantage of their effects, this might inspire a new play through

So many people asking about mods and debating builds, meanwhile I'm just happy that my favourite mask was the highest ranked mask outside of Konahrik. Volsung FTW!

Also that shock was lowest. Dragons are either 50 to frost or flame. Nothing resists lightning (aside from named dragons, who resist all equally), only 4 enemies, two of which are 1-location only, are immune. And removing magicka from dragons stops breath attacks or shouts. It’s also the easiest to hit due to being hitscan. Sure, few things use it, but aside from enchantments, you got nothing to reduce it. No race gains resistence, unlike frost or flame.

I love these videos. For a Welshman, you are pretty entertaining.

A thought on Hevnoraak. I've not gotten it yet to test it on my current playthrough, but potentially, immunity (85% resistance) to disease DAMAGE might actually make it a much more interesting pick if playing with mods. Assuming it actually resists it, which it may not. Disease damage in general is a very, very difficult resistance to get normally, as well as tons of stuff just not getting it, since it's, to my knowledge, just not available in base Skyrim. It's still probably not a fantastic mask in that context, but might be a great thing to just carry, in case. On a side note, one of my most fun times in Skyrim has been just becoming a mask collector. Lots of mods add masks, and just accumulating them, putting them on display, ect is surprisingly enjoyable experience. Lots are just recolors of the wooden mask, sadly, but there's impressive variety out there, too.

That poison & disease resistance one actually is my default headgear when travelling. Because it's always annoying when meanwhile you've reached maximum armor cap, but easily got disease by one bite of a bear, wolf, or damn skeaver ambushing. Same with vampire. Their spell always get me disease like every time. When entering a battle, especially against dragon or wizards, Otar is my top equipment.

After about 25 minutes of running for my life and restoring hp behind rocks I had finally chipped away at his health by running up and getting a few sword swings at him that I could finally finish him off. It was only afterwards looking his info up that I realized he was level 50 and I was 18. I felt pretty accomplished to say the least!

If you're running mage build the mask that's found with the staff of magnus is pretty solid.

I was angry about the whole Dragon Priest shrine, because I worked my butt off painstakingly locating and clearing the dungeons and nearly dying several times to get ahold of all eight masks (on Skyrim) then I had to walk all the way back to Labyrinthian, and once I placed all the dragon priest masks on their respective busts, Bethesda has the audacity to not even give me an achievement for it!

I remember there was a conjuring book you could get via the console thing that gave you a spell to summon dragon priests. Those dragon priests, in turn, summoned two of those giant lightning elementals. It was glorious. 😁

Combining the Kohnarik mask with a pair of those temple priest robes from the priests in Raven Rock, Solstheim, makes for solid dragon priest look. Since the robes already come with a 75% boost in magicka regeneration enchantment, they cannot be enchanted any further... however, you can still enchant a pair of gloves, shoes, a necklace and a ring for total of 8 extra enchantments.

I like electricity resistance during the College questline, as you get a lot more lightning users in that progression. Useful if only for those quests

I find the Dragonborn DLC masks far better than the other base game masks given it has the only bonus destruction damage enchantment while the rest can be replaced with other armor or enchantments like the increase magicka and regen ones are useless once you wear multiple armor pieces that each have 25%~ lower magic cost in x school of magic. Elemental resists are also an enchantment you can get and have a higher % in by just doing the enchanting yourself

What mods do you use for the health bar UI and lock on? I hope you respond

And if you like Dragon Priest Masks? There's mod for Dragon Priest Armory, with each Priest coming with their custom armor too! Heck, if you want you can just go find a Clay Mask and enter another time, and craft your own armor too. Including a Hearthstone Armor, that has Enchantment Boost, and real epic black and red shade... Konahrik's Accountrements.

whats that house mod you're using in the beginning of video?

My Favorites are Nahkriin (great for heavy armored Mage builds), Hevnoraak (great for non-vampires and non-werewolves), and any of the three Elemental ones (for those elementally themed character).

I think that Krosis should rank on top (from a glass mage main) cuz konahrik is just to situational and you have to work rly hard to get it, and on Volsung, in all my playthroughs in skyrim i have never drowned or even got close to it, the carry enchantment aint rly much if you can sort your inventory and the price enchantmen isnt that big since you end up hoarding gold i all playthroughs. While Krosis gives bonus to archery (still most popular build) alchemy which is just good if you dont wanna spend so much on potions, and lockpicking which is just the cherry on top.

I know you cover Vanilla stuff but that one dragon priest redone mod, I wonder which one is the best?
