Speaking of bizarre incidents, anotherElder Scrolls 5: Skyrimgamer saw their boss fight end in a rather unusual way. Reddit user Acrobatic_Age_6833 uploaded a video sharing their face-off with a Draugr, which they eventually won, but quite oddly. The video is in first-person mode and shows the player defeating the Draugr Death Overlord, who does something unusual. After the final blow, the Draugr performs a stunning backflip over his throne and falls flat on his stomach. The Reddit community received the post positively as it has a more than 96 percent upvote ratio and a few comments.
For those who don’t know, Draugr are among themost challenging enemies inSkyrimwith a rich backstory. Draugr play a pivotal role inSkyrim’s lore as they have a captivating history. They are undead Nordic warriors who supposedly served Dragon Priests in the ancient past and many Draugr are believed to know Words of Power. Players can come across them in crypts and dungeons wielding weapons like swords, axes, and bows. Acrobatic_Age_6833’s fight took place against the Draugr Death Overlord, who is possibly the most powerful of them and is generally the final boss of the dungeon of Draugr residents. This particular variant of Draugr wields Ebony or Honed Ancient Nord weapons, which are often enchanted, making him more formidable.
As Draugr are the most common foes inSkyrim, ultimately, an encounter with them turns out to be out of the ordinary like the one mentioned above. The internet is full of these viral videos where Draugr or otherSkyrimNPCs perform unusual acts. One clip shows a Draugr flying after being struck byperfect crossbow shot inSkyrim, while another shows a pacifist giant who refuses to attack the Dragonborn.
