I DIDN'T KNOW THIS ABOUT SKYRIM!! Reacting to "Skyrim VS Dark Souls Death Battle" 

For the most part, in the Elder Scrolls series, each game is named after the nation or region it mainly takes place in. There is currently a mod community trying to make an ultimate, all nations spanning, super modpack, however it has taken over 10 yrs, and we are only now getting close-ish to the first 2 of like 23 nations finished

The fact that the Dragonborn never used Dragon Aspect, which basically unleashes their full potential for a short time, shows how they were never in any real danger throughout the fight

The song, "Fireborn", was apparently done with a fan choir that emulated the music of the two games, both of which made fairly frequent use of that style of music.

At first I was a little sad they didn't have the dragonborn use the dragon aspect shout, but thinking about it that would've been overkill. Since that shout in particular, increases the strength, defense, and increases the power of ALL of the shouts. So it just wouldn't have been even remotely fair.

Basically this fight boils down to the fact that despite the Dragonborn not actually having a way to counter the curse, the Dragonborn is so much more powerful than the Chosen Undead that they would go hollow from all their failures before they end up waring down the Dragonborn in a war of attrition. While the fight was great I feel like it would have benefitted from two things, having the Chosen Undead die a few more times, getting more and more despondent to show the hollowing taking effect and a more clear ending as it's not super clear even on rewatch.

11:37 That was no mod, the Wabbajack can turn the target into a real chicken, or a sweet roll

You know what's kinda sad. They said they were taking both characters with their stats at 100%, so that would include smiting and enchanting for the dragonborn, so that hide armor and iron helmet probably protected him better that the dark souls armor could, and that regular iron sword could probably do more damage that most of the regular weapons in dark souls, not to mention all the actual good weapons the dragonborn has.

Interesting part is, they staged this fight to be where a cut fight from the actual Dark Souls game would be. Oscar, the knight who frees the player from the cell they are locked in at the start, in the final game dies before escaping the prison and goes hollow the next time you return there. But he's got a fairly large number of unused dialogue files in the game's data for the player encountering him at a fairly large number of points in the game, from simple paths crossing to times he suggests working together to clear a tough area. But several of the cut dialogues refer to the end of the game, namely that if the player linked the flame, Oscar would declare the gods to be liars, and the player a useless slave to their will, keeping mankind oppressed and in their servitude. Meanwhile if the player intended to let it burn out, Oscar would condemn the player for letting mankind fall into eternal dark. Basically, he was on the opposite side of you, no matter what, and was the last fight of the game before the credits rolled. For whatever reason, they decided to cut the bulk of Oscar's content from the final game, likely because the finale drew a bit too clear a line on the argument of "good vs. evil" when Dark Souls is meant to be about the struggle against the inevitable. So in this case, Death Battle staged their fight where the fight with Oscar would be, but it's the Dragonborn that showed up instead.

I'd only recommend Skyrim to you if you have a LOT of free time on your hands, because once you get into it, you suddenly notice you've spent 10 hours on the game as soon as you look at the window and notice the sun went down. It's one of the most addictive games I've ever played.

the thing you were asking about with spells etc is its basically a zone of silence. no sound can exist there and the dragonborn did shouts. once the other guy spoke it meant that the dragonborn could speak and therefore shout.

While I understand why the Chosen Undead lost, in a way I can see it as a bit of a victory since a permanent death is a peaceful outcome for them. Think about it, their journey is the only thing giving their life meaning either Linking the Flame which would further expand the already unnaturally long lifespan of the world (which mind you we wouldn’t have to do if Gwyn wasn’t so paranoid), or let it die which would usher the end but it’s heavily implied in future games that this is not only natural but necessary for new life. The Dovahkiin did do something seriously messed up for everyone but it would work out in the long run. Sorry for rambling, I just really appreciate heroes like the Chosen Undead that keep going when it is essentially pointless. I just find it solemnly inspirational.

"I've never played an RPG" Gamer, you just mentioned your Pokemon Nuzlocke just a minute ago!

Skyrim is the fifth mainline entry into a game franchise called "The Elder Scrolls", so while it's official title is "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim", that's a mouthful, so everyone simply calls it Skyrim. Most of these games are named after the country they take place in. So Skyrim is a country on the continent of Tamriel.

Killua and Misaka are from Hunter x Hunter and A Certain Scientific Railgun respectively. knowing your affinity for speedy characters, I think you'll like them.

Also I'm surprised they didn't touch on Skyrims absolutely overpowered potion making mechanics, where you can literally make God tier potions that just break the game

For Skyrim anything and everything that is valuable like gems become a loot goblin

If you're looking for more vs content while waiting for Death Battles, might I recommend batinthesun's vs videos? They're really fun to watch with the only difference being that the majority are in live-action and the results are driven through a polling system by fans.

I do love how this was basically the first fight in which a combatant actually had the means to revive quickly enough to continue the fight. Though the sheer power gap alone means that CU couldn't have done anything noteworthy damage wise to Dovah before eventually going Hollow.

The song used was Fireborn by Brandon Yates. The dude brought a whole choir together for this. I'd recommend listening to it on its own, it's absolutely one of his best. Would you be willing to do a reaction series to Death Battle music?

Theduckgoesmoo summed up in three words: *I DIDN'T KNOW*

17:56 The music for each Death Battle is a custom made track, and the sponsor, Brandon, made the track for this episode.

the music's name is fireborn, and its sung by a bunch of death battle fans singing a choir.

They didn't even include everything for the dragon born. They only included only like 10 shouts in the breakdown and only like 6 in the actual fight whereas in the game he has 27 with dragon aspect which draws out the full potential of the dragon born making them walking gods of destruction and enhances all their shouts around double the effects. Not to mention the dragon born also has a stronger dragon summoning shout where he summons an undead and unkillable dragon to support him. It's a dragon you meet in the soul cairn and unlike the regular dragon summoning shout he used, the undead dragon he summons can communicate with the dovahkin and coordinate attacks with him and what makes the undead dragon even better is that he literally trash talks the enemies it's bodying 😂. Also unlike the regular dragon the dragon born summons with the regular dragon summoning shout, this undead dragon actually uses more than 1 shouts ability. The regular dragon only uses the fire shout ability whereas the undead dragon can use soul tear, the frost shout etc. Also the dawnbreaker technically isn't the strongest daedric weapon in the game. Theres stronger weapons in the lore like the dagger of mehrunes dagon which has a chance to insta kill an enemy, a big ass samurai sword that drains life force and becomes stronger etc. Also the dragon rend shout in the game forces an immortal being to experience mortality. People just think it is only useful to dragons since the dragon born mostly uses it against dragons in game mechanics but if you look at the translation for the dragon words in the select screen the dragon shout literally translate to saying "mortal" or "be mortal" and the lord confirms to forces mortality on immortal beings making them easier to kill. Not to mention they literally used the dragon Borns level 1 armor 😂. They didn't even use his dragon armor or any other armor with enchantments 😂.

Death battle really said that the chosen undead ragequit and never came back😂😂😂

22:43 You are correct, that was not Mikasa, mostly because that's not what it said. It said Misaka. Misaka is from A Certain Scientific Railgun and Killua is from Hunter x Hunter.

This Death Battle was very insane and very informative for both games that seems very risky on picking on who to win. As I never played the games but had a gut feeling for Skyrim to win and it did 😄 So I am curious if you going to react to “Mikasa Ackerman v Blake Belladonna” AOT v RWBy since you skipped it. As i believe you seen almost all of AOT to watch it or you going to wait a bit longer till the anime is over?

In regards to the 250x light speed arrow thing; not only is there no reason to expect the sun to be so far from Nirn (let alone 'much greater'), there's no reason to assume that the arrow would have to travel that distance. Its a magical god bow with a magical god arrow empowered by the blood of a being cursed by an elder spirit that has existed longer than the world. Even if the magnus tear was that far away, why wouldn't it just act like one of a hundred other powerful curses where it just sort of happens? Besides; they don't get to say that it travels 250x the speed of light when the altered light takes so little time to arrive; if it was so far away, wouldn't it take longer for the altered light to arrive?

While Dovahkiin's official translation is of course dragonborn, other unofficial translations of it have it as something like "born hunter of dragon kind". Just a fun fact. I saw a cool comment on another video that I'll copy here if i can find it. "Qverlord 1 day ago this fight had so many clever moments. my favorite is the dragonborn realizing the vow of silence is over when the chosen undead can make sound and he used that moment of pride as an opening to turn it against the chosen undead. the chosen undead linking the first flame is also clever and flavorful to the lore. Remember that when Gwyn linked the first flame he incinerated the black knights that followed him. the Chosen Undead was attempting to do that again here by trying to nuke the dragonborn as a last resort. and the dragonborn respond was perfect. The dragon shout is a reality bending power, when two dragons fight one another, they are debating on who is correct. To dragon, power is truth, those who are stronger are right and therefore their truth becomes reality in a literal sense. The dragonborn using unrelenting force is him enforcing his will upon reality, he's defying the reality of the flame hurting him. Since the dragonborn defeated Alduin, an entity on par if not greater than the first flame, his will is stronger than the flame and he snuffed it out." And my response to it was "Dragonborn really said no you to the first flame and won" Also Fireborn absolutely slaps. Great song by Brandon

20:39 Except that the Dragonborn is seen as the Avatar of Akatosh and Shor, blessed by both Gods of men. The Last Dragonborns entire purpose was to “reset” Alduin so that he could devour the world and renew the cycle. A being entrusted with a literal divine act.

This man's cluelessness is inspiring, honestly.

Here, have some Fun Facts: The Last Dragonborn is canonically a quantum singularity who is literally *_EVERY_* race, *_EVERY_* gender, walks *_ALL_* paths and embodies *_ALL_* possibilities, *_simultaneously,_* as well as an "Impossipoint," a living tear in Time itself, granting them freedom from the shackles of Time, Fate and Causality. And Dragons in "The Elder Scrolls" aren't just big fire-breathing lizards, they're literally living fragments of time. Meaning it is impossible for them to truly die, except if killed by Akatosh (the Dragon-God of Time/Father of Dragons), the Dragonborn (literally a Dragon in mortal form) and other Dragons.

To answer the question about whether you can actually do that with the basket, yes, you can indeed. To be caught, you have to be seen doing the act. If they have a basket covering their head, they can't see you. They also said that for this fight, they were gonna give both combatants EVERYTHING, and max all their stats. And yeah, there's a whole lot of crazy going on with the Dragonborn. To give you an idea of some of the stuff that they DIDN'T take into consideration, I'll go over some Shouts: Summoning Odahviing was cool, but there's a second dragon you can call in, Durnehviir. Not only is this undead dragon capable of being just as much of a pain as Odahviing in a fight with its own Shouts, they're also a necromancer, so they're able to raise the dead for even more foes to hound the Chosen Undead. The Shout known as Become Ethereal allows the Dragonborn to become a spirit that cannot be harmed in any way, but cannot harm as a balance. And if we're taking the Meditation into consideration too, the Dragonborn will regen health faster. The Drain Vitality Shout can drain not just Health, but Stamina and Magic, quickly depleting the Chosen Undead's options. Marked for Death utterly shreds armour, Dragon Aspect just overcharges the Dragonborn's power and Disarm can just send the Chosen Undead's weapons flying away. As a final note, was kinda sad that the Bloodskal Blade didn't show up, because that thing is capable of unleashing energy wave slashes just like the Moonlight Greatsword, would've been cool to see those two clashing

18:33 Yes, the Dragonborn can use magic, and the Thu'um, even if it's not magic in the same sense, requires sound, which Vow of Silence suppresses 18:46 No, the Vow of Silence had worn off naturally, as made apparent by the Chosen Undead's "Prepare to die" 22:50 Kailua is Hunter×Hunter, Misaka is A Certain Scientific Railgun, which is apparently spinoff of A Certain Magical Index

If you want to experience more Dark Souls, I'd recommend you watch TFS' playthrough of Dark Souls 3 on your own time. However, their Playthrough is named "Drunk Souls" meaning they have a Drinking Game where they take a drink everytime they die.

Killua is from Hunter x Hunter and Misaka is from Certain Scientific Railgun. They both have electricity based powers. Killua also has this one particular move you'll like. You'll know it when they say it I'm certain.

"And a master Good boy! Who's a good boy? That's a good boy!" And I have now died lol

not sure if anyone mentioned it but due to the bucket blocking line of sight then sneak and you can steal anything in the shop i think

I can't wait for your reaction for the killua vs misaka battle

The next DB is Killua vs Misaka. Killua is from HunterxHunter and Misaka I think is from an anime called A Certain Scientific Railgun. Both are characters that harness electricity/kinetic energy.

"Wait does the dragonborn use spells?" Duck....Duck....you weren't listening at all....even the thuum or shouts count as spells and they mentioned the dragonborn is a master wizard

Well you mentioned something about the music so let me explain The track for this episode is called "Fireborn" and made by Brandon Yates who has done most of the tracks for this show with the other big composer for the show being Therewolf Media They both do some absolute bangers alongside doing commission tracks for "what if matchups" I'd suggest you to someday react to some of their tracks by themselves whether they are the official DB ones or commissions as that just sounds like it would be fun, also if you're worried about copyright don't worry as atleast Brandon is fine with his music being used as long as you credit him For tracks I'd suggest you to listen to for either a reaction or just for yourself, well for official ones I'd go with "Fireborn" (Dark souls vs skyrim) "Hedge of tomorrow" (Trunks vs Silver) "Princes of Pride" (Thor vs Vegeta) and Balderdash (Saitama vs Popeye) there are alot of other really good ones but those are the first ones I could think of For commission tracks I'd highly recommend "Will of the Drill", "Marvel for all", "Explosion in E minor" and "Devil Draws near" There's much more but those once again just came to mind first Holy shit I ended up typing for longer than I thought

also to that one guy who told me he wasn't reacting to things he has played, checkmate

Definitely give a listen to the official death battle music tracks. The very first one they specifically commissioned was the track for Goku vs. Superman, the season 1 finale. After that, three episodes in season 2 featured commissioned tracks: "Alive" in the Goku vs. Superman rematch, "Exo" in Raiden vs. Wolverine, and "You Have Failed this City" in Hawkeye vs. Green Arrow, all by this same composer Brandon Yates. In season 3 he made the scores for Ganon vs. Bowser and Mewtwo vs. Shadow. In season 4, the score for Power Rangers vs. Voltron. And in the same season, from Naruto vs. Ichigo onward, *all* the battle tracks were commissioned, mostly from Brandon and Therewolf Media. And they slap hard. It's great to finally have them give him a shout-out, especially in an episode whose track he made with the help of a choir of actual Death Battle fans.

18:27 he nullified his shouts(The Way Of The Voice) Its a form of magic in Skyrim and yes he also has Magic spells(Magicka)

Next time is Killua Zoldyck from the anime/Manga "Hunter x Hunter" and Mikoto Misaka is from the anime/Light novel "A Certain Scientific Railgun". Both are anime teens (about 15yo for both) who are Electomancers (chartacters with the powers of electricity.

If you had watched the ad you would've known that Brandon did the music for this episode. Also Fireborn is my new favorite DB track

Two of my favorite games of all time: Skyrim and Dark Souls (specifically Dark Souls 3 but close enough.)

Kyle needs to watch the Skyrim trailer. It's honestly one of the most hype trailers ever

Enhance blacksmithing potions that make any weapon o-h kill's ,armor that just says damage= no , hp/mp/stamina=infinite,etc.

If they talked about the Dragonborn’s broken Smithing, enchanting and brewing skills, there would be no question about who would win. (I mean technically those are achieved by exploiting the mechanics, but who cares) You can turn yourself into a god! If you make a powerful enough potion there’s a spell that can kill everything in render distance in an instant, and even sticks around for awhile. Even if you argue that the Dragonborn would die of old age first, no. He can become an immortal vampire and never age.

Is it good or bad that we already have an episode this season that I consider on par with my favorite episode of season 9? Also, do you have any plans to react to Hunter x Hunter or A Certain Magical Index? I think that's what those in the next time are from.

The music used for DB isn’t copyrighted, it’s just RoosterTeeth (Death Battle’s parent company) randomly striking videos. Happens a lot. Also, apparently it was the Dark Souls analysis section that got striked, which is not done by Brandon, who only does the intro and fight music.

Potato wars part 3 when? I have been anxious and waiting for your reaction Mr duck.

I actually first saw this fight mid because i didn’t care about the fight of two chapters from games i didn't care about, but looking back at it with all well the fight is with the characters with their fighting style, weapons, and music, it’s in the top tier for me

Skyrim is part of a game series called Elder Scrolls it's the 5th game in the series

wait 4:13 did you play darksouls 3? if so by "treeboss" do you mean the curserotted great-tree, because if so, that was an optional boss that can be skiped by just progressing the area past it because if your talking about Ds1, idk who the tree boss is off the top of my head

Also the Dragonborn vs the Ashen one from dark souls 3 is the better fight option

21:47 I would never say against Superman. He’s vulnerable to magic, and the Dragonborn can be a dark elf (a race of Elf with the power to at least reduce fire damage. Yes, I would assume lasers are translated as fire damage)

Are you planning to react to Shadow vs Ryuko in the future or do you still plan to watch the anime first?

I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet but the 150 cheese wheels? Thats at level 1 without any upgrades to how much you can carry.

Dovahkiin isn't just a demigod, they are a Shezzarine, a spiritual fragment of the sundered god Lorkhan/Shezzarr, who created the mortal plane of Mundus and was broken to pieces by the other Aedra for it.

15:14 There's 5 games in The Elder Scrolls series so far, plus some spin-offs. And i think, they working on the 6-th game right now...

Long time no see duck, but on your inquiries for the next contestants. Killua is from Hunter X Hunter which I believe you will enjoy, Mikasa is from the Toaru series, a series of currently three different anime in one verse. Both use electricity, highly intelligent middle school aged prodigies of what they do in their worlds.

11:40 that aint a mod, that is an actual deadric artifact called the wabbajack, its effect is random and i think has like 150 different effects it can trigger.

Fun fact :each elder scroll game takes place hundreds of years apart but the neravareen, es3's protagonist is still very much alive in Skyrim, es5

Day 14 “Can you beat Kirby Super Star Ultra Without Jumping” or “Can You Beat Shovel Knight Without Collecting Gold” by Sample

Hey have you ever reacted to the Mandela catalogue series by Alex mister which overthrown and metaphysical awareness disorder and more

The dragonborn is not just a child of Akatosh(the dragon god of time), they are also the mortal incarnation of Lorkan, the creator god of the entire elder scrolls universe.

Oh man, Elder Scrolls lore is a wild ride, especially the stuff written by Michael Kirkbride.

You should play Skyrim I would totally watch what you would do in an open world game like that

Duck seriously needs to play Skyrim or at least watch some Lore videos on the Elder Scrolls

If the dragonborn chugs a billion% fortify restoration potion crafted using the enchanting/alchemy exploit, they can cast stendars aura and insta kill evey undead in a 5 cell radius from their position, which is the entire draw distance of the game word, so in effect every undead in existance and, most likely, crash the game in the process.

The only 2 minor complaints id have would be we didnt get an energy blade clash between the moon blade & the Dovahkiin's Bloodskaal blade. The other is it should have been Durhneviir, not Odavhiin, as the dragon summon moreso for thematically fitting BUT those are just nitpicks Even so, still an incredibly solid episode

In the fight the Dragonborn should have been wearing either dragon bone or dragon scale armor instead of the basic armor that you can loot off the first bandit you kill. He also started off with an iron sword instead of a dragon bone sword also Ariel's Bow is used mainly with sunhallowed arrows which cause small explosions of sunlight on impact that deal burning damage. Also by max level the Dragonborn would have enchanted his armor to heal himself and restore his magic and stamina almost instantly since if you do it right ability boosting potions can be made up to a ridiculous level of power. I would have liked to see them clash the lighting storm spell against the soul stream spell.

I actually agree. And the next episode has Hunter X Hunter and the to aru ( aka the A Certain...) Franchise, which is 3 different series in one. The series being a certain magical index, a certain scientific railgun, and a certain scientific accelerator.

08:58 Sounds like you were rethinking your life for a few seconds there, buddy.

5:12 I also would have been interested in a comparison of Dark Souls vs. Skyrim numbers, which they've done before with the Pokemon battle royale. I don't think it would have made a dent in the outcome, however.

Misaka is that lightning girl, she is a side character in two anime, and the MC in another anime. Yeah,🤔 she is in 3 anime series, and she is a badass for a schoolgirl in a slice of life anime. you should take the time to watch those three-anime series they are bad ass.

Becuase of the difference in power there was no was the Chosen Undead could win especially since the Dragonborn could always Heal in multiple ways or Regenerate Stamina with no limit since they could always passively recover his mana bar or use a food or a potion for a quicker recovery.

Elder Scrolls lore goes hard. You should react to Ssethtzeentach's review of Morrowind to get another glimpse into how batshit insane it can get.

Ok duck honest to god I never played Skyrim either until this episode and my friends persuading me to get it. I miss out on a fun game. JUSTICE FOR MY DARK ELF BROTHERS! WE WILL NOT TOLERATE OUR MISTREATMENT IN GRAY QUARTER!

The next death battle is Killua from HunterxHunter vs Misaka Mikoto from Certain scientific railgun/Certain magical index

Good job getting one right

They didn't even touch on the broken enchanting you could potentially do. Unlimited health, magic, stamina, carry weight and a fork that will destroy a moon if you drop it

13:11 basically he sale his soul to hell

you should stream skyrim I would love to watch that

They seriously need to do a death battle between Alduin and Deathwing. 2 badass world ending dragons.

9:39 ITS RANDY THE TANK DRAGON!

16:40 - YOU GOT THAT REFRENCE ? I was just debating myself if I should explain that! And you know ?!

As someone whose favorite spell happens to be Vow of Silence, let me remind those who forgot that the spell also afflicts the CASTER. Not being able to cast spells yourself is definitely an easier fate than getting yelled to death, sure, but it is still the Dragonborn. Easy Dragonborn when-

Fun fact: You can side with Alduine by yeeting the Blade lady off a nearby cliff.

Regardless of anything you should play Skyrim

Vow of Silence shouldn’t have worked on Shouts as Shouts are just another language which makes up the universe, called Tonal Manipulation.

Misaka is from an anime called Toaru Majutsu no Index which is awesome and Killua is from an anime called HxH that is actually really bad so i hope and think Misaka will win.

I mean technically the Dragonborn can carry unlimited weight they just slow down after a certain amount.

I love the sky rim song

I wish the Dragonborn used more Weapons Spells and Shouts

I think Dragonborn vs Superman would be an interesting matchup even though Superman never showed any feats that would put him to boundless unlike the Dragonborn. If the Dragonborn can beat Alduin who can eat Infinity and has to be boundless to do so its not farfetched to scale him to boundless or low ball Outerversal. And not even Cosmic Armor Superman showed feats that scale him to boundless. Most likely outerversal with infinite potential but the same thing could be said about the dragonborn as he has no limits as long as he continues to collect dragonsouls who he also could stack up to infinity. playing Skyrim doesn't really give you an idea how fast the dragonborn also really is. Cosmic Armour Superman surely scales to Immeasurable Speed sure but Alduin exists outside of time unaffected by dragonbreaks between kalpas and can fly from nirn to sovngarde with sheer speed which would put him to Immeasurable too. While i'm not sure if the dragonborns moving speed quite stack up to immeasuarble his attack and reaction speed surely does if he keeps pace with alduin during battle.

Honestly they shoukd have used all "bugs" because skyrim has so many good bugs that put it on top of games i would wanna live in

I think that hit with Smough's Greathammer should have ended the dragonborn. Everyone knows the dragonborn is weak vs. Yeet. Just ask any Skyrim giant. They even showed it in the intro vids
