The very first dragon servants in the universe of the "Old Scrolls" were the notorious Dragon Priests from Skyrim. Their habitats are considered to be the most diverse locations, for example, the Labyrinthian, the Nordic ruins and the Wall of Words with the Words of Power depicted on them. If the player wants to find them, then first of all he should pay attention to those places of the northern province where dragons were once a worship cult.
general information
When a player disturbs the Priests, they rebel and attack him. During the battle, the Dragon Priests of Skyrim use various spells and the ability to summon creatures. The fact that they managed to become immortal lich necromancers speaks of their powerful past.
Also in the game there is a special spell that allows Dovakin to call upon himself the help of the followers of the Dragon cult. The main condition for the spell is the last mask of the Priests - Konarik. Note that the lychee summoned in this way are significantly inferior in strength to nominal characters.
Details of the Dragon Cult are stored in the book Dragon War.
Priests vs Dovakin
Any battle requires the right tactics, and the battle with the Dragon Priests of Skyrim is no exception. To begin with, we will consider the basic behavior of the enemy in battle. As mentioned earlier, necromancer lychees like to use magical spells, as well as summon various creatures. An untrained mid-level player is unlikely to stand up against such a force. That is why it is better to go to the location of the Dragon Priests of Skyrim on a high leveling or after careful preparation.
In addition to tremendous power, followers of the Dragon cult have a high vitality. In close combat, they are not as effective as in long-range combat, so the enemy will try to move away from the player as far as possible.
Priests do not like to stand in one place, so they always change their position. While traveling, they use the unique power of their enchanted staves. If a blow hits Dovakin, then his health will begin to decline rapidly.
Suitable tactics
Taking into account all the above information, you can imagine how the battle should go. The most winning strategy is a few simple actions that require repeated repetition. To begin with, we say tu'um, which slows down time, and hit the enemy several times. The lich will not be able to dodge all attacks at once, so he will receive some kind of damage. Then we run closer to him to take advantage of the most powerful artifacts, for example, the Radiance of Dawn or the Razor of Merunes.
If the priest managed to summon several creatures to his aid, then you can try using the spell Chain Lightning (or a staff that has the same effect). However, if we talk about the most effective weapons, then this is certainly the spells of the School of Destruction. They will help to penetrate not only the armor of the Dragon Priests of Skyrim, but also any other evil spirits. In turn, the use of ice spells and tu'ums is almost useless.
Masks of the Dragon Cult
Eight Priests (thirteen along with Dragonborn) are considered personalized. Each of these followers keeps a unique mask with various magical effects. All masks of the Dragon Priests of Skyrim contain a special power - this may be the ability to control a lot of weight, or a bonus to magical energy.
All this makes the Priests really difficult opponents for a simple player. Some of them may be endowed with the same abilities as Dovakin. It is about understanding the dragon language, as well as the ability to use certain tu'ums.
After finding all the name masks (plus wooden), the player has the opportunity to find the last and most powerful of them - Konarika.
Masks of the Dragon Priests of Skyrim - where to find them? Part 1
You can collect masks not only for the sake of magic boosts - they also provide access to an additional quest, after which you can get the last, most powerful mask.
- Wooden - for this mask the player will have to go to the Labyrinthian. Its main property is to move its owner in time.
If you put a Wooden mask in the tomb, near the altar of the cult, then you can go back to the past. Several pedestals will appear in front of the player, on which eight masks of the Dragon Priests of Skyrim must be placed. Thus we will open the passage to the last artifact. In order to move back to the present, it is enough to pick up the Wooden mask.
- Wolsung - hidden in the Nordic ruins of Volskigge. Putting it on himself, the player will be able to access an infinite supply of oxygen to be under water, and increase the carried weight by 20 units. Among its main properties, one can also note the receipt of a twenty percent discount on all goods from merchants.
- Morokey - behind the third mask, Dovakin must again go to the Labyrinthian. Suitable for all magicians, as it completely regenerates mana.
We continue the hunt for masks. Part 2
- Wokun - another mask suitable for magicians, located within the ruins of the High Gate. Due to its magical properties, the hero can use during spells (only the school of Illusion and Change) 20% less mana.
- Krosis - hidden in the location Two-headed peak. This mask is suitable for the type of players who prefer to conduct a hidden and quick battle. With it, you can increase by 20% the skills of an archer, stealth, as well as the ability of an alchemist.
- Otar - during the search with the sixth mask, the player will visit the expanses of Rangwald. The flock is considered a kind of bonus to the abilities of all "tanks". Thanks to her, the hero receives a 30% increased elemental defense. Protection acts against cold, fire and electricity.
- Hevnorak - located within Valtum. The mask gives the strongest immunity and protects the player from all the diseases and poisons that the northern province is so rich in.
- Ragot - is kept in Forelhost. Due to the fact that the mask Ragoth increases the level of strength by 70 units, it can be used by warriors.
- Nakrin is the last artifact that is hidden in the Nordic ruins of Skuldafn. The mask is loved by all students of the schools of Destruction and Restoration. It increases magical damage (by 50 units) and reduces spell mana absorption (by 20%).
Mask of konarik
After the player has managed to collect all the existing masks, he gains access to the Sanctuary of Bromunar. Inside is the main and most powerful mask - Konarik. Its unique properties give the character real immortality. Konarik’s mask works according to the following principle: when Dovakin’s health approaches zero, he gains the ability of instant healing. At the same time, it inflicts very significant damage to opponents.
Konarik - Dragon Priest
To expand the in-game lore through the efforts of modders, a rather interesting mod was created for the Dragon Priests of Skyrim. He adds a new quest to the game about the great and terrible Konarik, with whom Dovakin can fight. As a reward for completing the modification, the player receives the very mask of Konarik, however, with more improved characteristics and boosts.
The quest begins with the shrine of Bromjunaar (Labyrinthian location) - there, not far from the Breton skeleton, there is a bloody note. We read it and fulfill all the conditions. After that we find Konarik and fight him in an unequal battle. We kill the Priest and take the improved Mask - the quest is completed!
