Skyrim's Ebony Warrior EXPOSED 10 Years Later 

This comment deserves more than a spam reply. That is seriously so epic!

sounds epic you had a run of luck

I want to like this comment but you understand why I mustn't

@@adamhussein3449 someone done it so we can now 😂

gods be praised

Agreed. It is a reoccurring, and oft mentioned, part of the Elder Scrolls lore that sometimes, for all kinds of reason, there just seems to be some special people who come around at important times in history; people like the Last Dragonborn, the Hero of Kvatch, the Tharn's Prinsoner, and so on. They come, do their things, and then disappear mysteriously into history. On a meta-gaming level, we know these people were all just Player Characters, but their existence (and occurrence through history) is part of the lore. My take on the Ebony Warrior is that he was just another of these special people. It has been over two-hundred years between the Hero of Kvatch and the Last Dragonborn -- plenty of time for one of these special people to have come about, done their things, and their fight with the Last Dragonborn is just their last act.

@@seprithlicastia463 "A Hero or Heroine, sometimes described as being doom-driven or referred to as a Prisoner, is a mortal blessed (and cursed, from another point of view) with a special fate and the ability to rule their own destiny. Heroes are closely related to the prophecies revealed in the Elder Scrolls, but are not bound by them. They often grow to become far more powerful than most other mortals." -The UESP entry for Lore:Hero

Reminds me of the Gael boss fight in ds3

Makes me wonder actually, since ES6 is rumoured to take place in Redguard, if the main character will be the Ebony Warrior

I originally thought while watching this video, that Nate would lead us to the Atronach Forge when it comes to the items within Ebony's inventory. Like maybe something might happen if you take his items to the Atronach Forge, and then activate it. Maybe you also need the sigil stone because there is a deadra heart involved and a black soul gem.

Way to make me feel old 😆. I was already 26 when skyrim came out

we are one and the same my friend

Holy crap I was nine when skyrim first came out Yet I remember playing it so fondly

Maybe he was just a little sick and couldn’t leave his house. Don’t to spread the fully you know

I think he meant strong ones

Frost trolls are strong in the start but if you're lv 80 even dragons are easy to defeat

What about all the villains you never even knew existed because he got them first?

If you're level 80, there damn well better _not_ be any villains to slay.

That's the information I came here for. Thank you kind soul for answering my query

It's also possible that he had gotten to Sovngarde but Alduin consumed his soul.

If I had to guess I'd say Bethesda just didn't think about it and it's not really official lore

​@@ilasoiafI'd be tempted to agree but with the amount of attention to detail Bethesda put into Skyrim, it seems somewhat unlikely for them to forget, but maybe they did, who knows

This is because, like the player, the Ebony Warrior won't truly die or maybe you have it in a soul gem lol

I killed him before I even got to where dragons start spawning and I can even use dragon shouts so that theory wouldn’t work in my playthrough lol

Same. I’ve killed him, but I still get the annoying letter from a friend. I just always assumed they’re from Arngeir.

No, the letters are from the Greybeards. Note they only come after you Shouted somewhere, and the Greybeards would know.

😅😅 37:12

I always thought the letter was from Delphine, asking you learn all you can of your role as dragonborn to lead the blades by going to the greybeards

That’s a good way to think of it

Im not sure the ebony warrior has ever been so callous and hell bent at amassing power as to spend literal in game years doint jogging from castel volkhiar to fort dawnguard holding a piece of dragon bone with telekinesis (surpassing its mastery in Alteration on a level entire leagues above any mortal to boot) with the sole purpose to stop to only have a soul of a Dragon but gain its physical vitality too (4600 hp). It had a purpose as a new challenge for lvl80 players that had a level cap up until then, but after that it simply becomes fake difficulty due to the reflect damage gimmick that can one shot back a character vastly superior but with a still "human" hp pool. And of course im not even mentioning the fact that all it takes to totally cheese him is really just the good ol and legit 4 reducing destruction pieces at max enchanting and stunlocking him with a rain of infinite fireballs...or the new creation club "elemental" version if you feel particularly merciless.

Try having some imagination

What if the Ebony Warrior is you in TESVI?

@@Dour888 Lol. My level 118 character is a rich evil immortal vampire dragonlord. The only reason I haven't conquered Skyrim is because the game won't let me. The ebony warrior is nothing like us.

The only reason we're still finding things in Skyrim is because it's been the current game in the franchise for more than ten years.

If you needed a reminder then you haven’t been paying attention

Yeah, with everybody including me being obsessed with Elden Ring

@@zachlewis9751 you know i would make fun of you for missing the joke but there’s always a chance on the internet that you’re actually doing a 4d chess ass double-joke and i’m the real joke-misser

@@kevinfromwork3785 not really a double-joke as much as it is an excuse for a dumb reference. It's a reference, not a joke.

Just watch the video before thinking ur special

I did something similar. I was a kid and had the game on easy mode. Merked her without even thinking about it and had this awesome chrome lookin weapon for the rest of my playthrough that took the form of a two handed axe for some reason lol

I remember getting Umbra to chase me up the stairs and into a smaller room where I somehow got her in a corner and started wailing on her to no end. I was beat but she was dead. Toughest fight i had in Oblivion, far more than in the Fighter's Guild Arena.

^This is probably the reason behind the character, and its the best I've ever seen them explained.

I thought the same thing when I was 35 and didn't have kids yet. But then again I'm also still playing Morrowind

That's pretty much the entire reason he exists to me as well, but the lore behind him to explain his in universe reason for existing is pretty dope too

Brilliantly explained

Suffering from success

Jeez, as if the Ebony Warrior wasn't already terrifying enough 💀

@@behurastudio he has Damage reflect, i didnt know that

@@behurastudio yep, he has the damage reflection perk from the heavy armor tree. It's not that great for the player but for enemies it's probably the most annoying skill to encounter. Thankfully it's rare. I think only the Ebony warrior has it

he was really easy to defeat if you freeze him solid with a dragon shout. lets you get in a couple extra hits. it also helped that i was wearing heavy dragon bone armor, that was enchanted to help with health recovery, and stamina recovery.

Nice sarcasm. 😊

Any Nord can use shouts with enough training.

@@josebenardi1554 I know, but the game treats it as though it's special thing that's exclusive to you. Therefore, the first time you see another character use it, it's extremely jarring.

@@angelocorradino8720 Personally I didn't feel that way. I had already seen Ulfric, and a bunch of Draugrs using it.

@@josebenardi1554 @José Benardi It's not an enough training, but a focused one. Ulfric was studying for quite some time.

I mean, we see draugur, greybeards, ulfric, various dragon priests including mirrak (phones having a hell of a time with autocorrect, pardon the spelling errors) all using shouts. The only unique thing about the Dragonborn is the ability to learn words quickly via absorbing dragon souls. I know what you mean about finality though. By the time I got to him, I was steamrolling everything I came across, with or without looped weapons/armor. When he showed up, I had a goku moment, used dragon aspect, and gave him the best fight I could. He got steamrolled as well, but he can at least go to sovngarde and tell stories of how he was bested by the most powerful Dragonborn to ever walk while at his absolute peak. That’s a hell of a lot better than that riff raft orc looking for a good death got. For him, a good death meant quick and (relatively) pain free, getting slapped with a loop smithed chaos damage/paralysis sword named “Meth”, cause nobody can handle Meth, not even once.

What an underrated, wholesome comment. 🥲

This is true

I used to think it was Delphine, but having picked skyrim up again recently I'm fairly certain it's not, because the letters being sent just doesn't match up with anything relevant to Delphine. It makes more sense that it's someone with either powerful magical insight who can sense the precise location of word walls, or someone who has muscled their way through dungeons to find the walls. I think the first is most likely, because some of the word walls are guarded by unique bosses, but nonetheless the "friend" will still tell you about them, and the bosses will be very much alive when you arrive. Still, the Ebony Warrior could fit into both categories, the latter because just look at those stats and the former because they're a superior shouter to the Dragonborn, likely with the ability to sense the word walls just like the Greybeards. The fact that the Greybeards will sometimes tell you of a word wall in person makes it pretty unlikely they're the friend, nobody else in Skyrim (aside from Dragur) can shout, aside from Ulfric, but the letters keep coming even if you side with the empire and kill Ulfric. So it's either a Greybeard giving you additional info despite immense discipline, Ulfric who may still contact you from Sovengarde, a literate dragon who doesn't scare the couriers, or the Ebony Warrior. Or a character who we never meet and never gain any information about besides what can be inferred from the situation, and therefore will never know anything about.

@@willsterjohnson That last lines possibility is haunting to me, I want to know! This whole cliff hanger is what makes bethesda so good, over a decade later and a whole community of people are still drawn to this one mysterious guy we encountered as a short side quest.

@@rayju9998 their storytelling is truely amazing, I just wish they could've had more time to finalize Skyrim. So much cut content due to time constraints, so many stories we'll never hear the end of, or even begin. I realise there's something I glossed over in my comment, the letter states; "You should turn your attention to [Location]. I understand it holds a mysterious source of power that can only be unlocked by the Dragonborn." This doesn't necessarily mean they can hear word walls, nor that they've been there to see it. In fact, it actually implies they're uncertain of what the power is, someone who can shout would definitely know meaning it's unlikely to be a Greybeard, Dragon, Ulfric, or the Ebony Warrior, in fact aside from the Greybeards all of these can be killed, and the letters will keep coming. In my original analysis, that leaves only an unknown character. However, it could be a scholar or researcher who's studying the ancient Nords. "I for one desire to see you grow and develop your talents. Skyrim needs a true hero these days." It's unlikely to be a Stormcloak as they obviously view Ulfric as Skyrim's true hero. Esbern is definitely a very intelligent researcher with a fixation on the Dragons and the Dragonborn, but until meeting him he's unaware that there's a Dragonborn anywhere, let alone Skyrim. It's not the Arch Mage Savos Aren as you can still receive the letter after his death. Jarl Elisif is too incompetent, The Emperor can be killed as can Tulius, the other faction leaders wouldn't care, the other Jarls on the imperial side are busy with their holds, Calcelmo is interested in Dwemer, other wizards are busy with their magic & research, and most other named NPCs aren't protected. "Sincerely, A Friend" Delphine does sign her mysterious note as "--a friend", same name but different writing style entirely. Besides, she doesn't believe there's a Dragonborn until you absorb a Dragon's soul, she's extremely skeptical of the Greybeards. You can receive the letter from a friend before she knows you're Dragonborn. It's not Miraak because why on Earth would he encourage you to be more powerful? He's also not in the base game and, as with most characters, can be killed without the letters ceasing. That only really leaves us with people outside of Skyrim or Solstheim, which presumably is many thousands of humanoids. But why would they care about Skyrim having a hero? Aedra? No, they're dormant as their planets. Daedra? Maybe, but why send a letter? Why would they want Skyrim to have a hero rather than them to have a champion? "he didn't say who he was, just that he was a friend of yours" - Courier, delivering the letter from a friend It seems that the answer really is that the friend who shares the locations of word walls with us is a man we may never learn anything more about.

This is why they missed out on just having it be an upscaled version of your PC's model revealed once you take off the armor.

This is what I've always assumed to be the case of the Ebony Warrior. He is the player character, after doing everything there is to do, he uses the Elder Scrolls to travel back in time to face his former self in his prime. The Ebony Warrior just happens to have a Redguard model.

@@jonathannilsson8482 not even travel back in time, just another warrior who's in a similar circumstance.

Completely fair and balanced, as Skyrim should be

I got him with Marked For death.

More honorable than what I did, just spamming fireball.

I died doing that the first time, but I'd restarted since, and this time I'm sure I'll be ready

I also like the ebony warrior. I literally devoted an entire run for him where I would prepare the entire time I was reaching level 1 to level 80 so that I could kill him with ebony or myself and no extra help.I died :-:

I really wanted him to become a companion, like after our fight and he’s on his knees, we get to talk to him and try to convince him to join our journey.. would’ve been nice 👍

@@PeachyIceTea86 what? that would be like the player choosing to become a companion of an NPC in the game and following them around forever and only doing what they want to do. doesn't make any sense having such an independent figure become your bitch boy for fighting and carrying your stuff around. like having the main boss in the game become your companion.. like what!?

@@PeachyIceTea86 I agree, would’ve been cool to have that option.

@@PeachyIceTea86 Yeah it would be cool if you also had the option to convince him there's still more to do and not have to fight him....taking him on a challenging quest to prove him otherwise and to learn more about his past.

Is that to say that Redguards, or any other race, *can't* go to Sovngarde? It's unorthodox if anything, but beyond that you really only have to have died as an honorable and glorious warrior in the midst of battle.

I definitely think he's an incarnation/aspect of Ebonarm. Honestly, with his worship having dropped off for centuries now (he's not mentioned after the end of the 2nd era, if I remember rightly), it could even be Ebonarm himself, in a diminished state.

@@crimson6864 I’m pretty sure he ascended to one bc there was a certain amount of people who revered him and believed in him as such

Maybe to those who want to keep dribbling the false theory that he is Eboarm when the lore description of the guy clearly states reddish blonde hair and steel blue eyes. I'm staying with my friend theory which was said at GameFAQS years ago that the Ebony Warrior being a redguard was a hint from Skyrim to where the next Elder Scrolls game will take place which is Hammerfell.

Same, I used to play it when I was in middle school with my brothers, and I still get sucked into the universe through these videos haha

That can be a possibility, though I think there's always something behind ebony warrior. He's unusual with his size, power, and of course his name.

I killed "umbra" in oblivion at level 1 or 2. I'd buy a bunch of health potions, shoot her with an arrow and book it to the waterfront healing along the way, where the guards would finish her off. Umbra and ebony armor at level 1 or 2.

@@SaintPatrick33 Absolute pro gamer move

Yes but we're looking for in game lore reasons not the real world reason. I think ....

@@SaintPatrick33 you can also just jump up and down and she'll be stuck running up and down the steps like a moron. Takes quite a lot of arrows to bring her down and if you mess up your dead but it's not as hard as it sounds. I've basically always killed Umbra immediately. Unless I'm playing a mage I want either the sword or the armor and for someone who's "supposed" to be one of the hardest characters in the game she's actually insanely easy to kill. Even playing a mage or monk style unarmed character selling her stuff nets you almost enough gold to buy apotheosis. If you're a monk that's not helpful but gold is gold.

If you include Mod quests, then I say it really would be a final test. Like, by doing all of the popular quest/world space mods, then there really is nothing to do. For me personally, this some how makes the Ebony Warrior really feels like the last moments of playing Skyrim.

Almost like in the Shivering Isles where the Champion of Cyrodiil has to fight their shadow self, which could be incredibly challenging depending on the PC's level. There's some poetic moral there I'll bet, fight your own demons type of lesson.

I agree, especially because of the fact that he is only encountered after level 80 and his dialogue about having nothing left to do. In the base game, 80 was the highest level and we quite literally, had nothing left to do, all we could do was embrace sovengard.

The Ebony Warrior is a play of the Black Knight from Monty Python.

Just so you know, TLD would stomp the Hero of Kvatch. You can say whatever you want, but unless you count the bullshit bug spells that you can make in Oblivion (Which you shouldn't because, like I said, bullshit) the Hero of Kvatch can't really stand up to TLD and his shouts. Not even just the shouts, he's innately stronger than everybody because he has the soul and blood of a dragon in a mortal shell.

pretty sure the ebony warrior is the last septim alive, they did have redguard blood or so the lore says, they may want to go back to sovengard like the old nords, and a septim can inherit the dragon soul and shout like the player

This is the theory I'm adopting now. This makes so much sense

@@maddie-kg2fw ditto folk, you've educated me in more possibilities

I'm just glad that they were cool with accepting and welcoming the Redguard into Sovngarde. Unlike us typical Imperials appropriating every other culture into our own and then gatekeeping it, someone else finally gets to live "the last samurai" life and it's actually wholesome af.

This makes sense to me. Especially since the Orc from Morrowind behaved similarly. It could very well be host dependant too.

Nice, this makes lots of sense

ESO isn't canon.

we saw his face tho

This and that he could be half Redguard and Half Nord whom was a Dragonborn and lived in the times when the foresworn or snow elves lived, in the time of Tibet septum? Like he was possibly the last Dragonborn during miraks time or before mirak but since Boethia could’ve sent him around the world and now that both players have done everything, boethia made her two greatest champions fight maybe?

I’d like to add on that the ebony warriors or “the avatars” sent by boethia like in morrowind since champions dungeon is right by last vigil, that all the warriors are previous main characters that we played as in previous games maybe idk about the orc umbreon tho but yeah a help possible theory

That could also be hinting towards this being a repeated event- like a loop.

For one, it's a last mission. For the other, it could be a piece of life to show that there is nothing left of this world, and by that point, they would have beaten it all.

I like the idea that he's the player character of the next game. Maybe Bethesda will be pulling a funny and making the next game set BEFORE Skyrim, possibly showing us just how Hammerfell was able to beat back the Dominion. Maybe the shouting was a little hint at the "sword singing" mentioned in this video that'll be our version of shouts in the next game. Even more, maybe the weirdness of a Redguard trying to get into Sovengarde could hint at the story of our next character, maybe something to do with being "abandoned by the Gods".

But that would require more work than I am willing to put into it. In any event, we're all having fun here. Good game, good people, good times. Love this community.

Ah, Oblivion without GOTYE patches that fix the floating paintbrush bug What a game

You can see in the video a balcony with a cracked area. I jumped up there, crouched down and cheesed her very early game. Took a long time.

There was Shadow?

you can also take a bunch of sundering tomes to disintegrate her armor and sword and then use chilling touch it does the best dam, like you can do this almost as soon as you get out of the sewers

I conjured low level summons constantly and ran around the poison jets healing til she died I had the sword at like level 9 or 10 lol

Like being murdered to death 😅

It's because of the theory that he's a redguard demigod/hero who wont go to soverngard normally.He fears he wont get there because of the race he was "summoned" as,so he fights the strongest current mortal in the part of the world that should all but satisfy the conditions to get to his wanted afterlife. Basically imagine you were stuck with 1 job,but wanted another and the only way to get it was to fight that ceo.

@@bearandthebull2372 Indeed.

It's possible the Ebony Warrior is the future MC sword-singer of the Elder Scrolls VI. Who says their stories can't happen around the same time?

@@Amo-v27 i doubt that, they like to spread out the games pretty far

@@cheeseyasscheek9186 True, but it's still a possibility. We won't know until the next game comes out.

@@Amo-v27 yeah true i was just saying

Before the events of Skyrim, Redguards drove out Aldmeri Dominion from Hammerfell, without the help from the Empire. The Ebony Warrior could have helped there.

ikr feelsgood to see Nate get back into it once more

Standing Here, i realise, you were just like me trying to make history. But who's to judge, the Right from Wrong. when our guard is down i think we'll both agree that Violince breeds Violince, but in the end it has to BE THIS WAY. - epic guitar solo - I've carved my own path.. you've followed your wrath.. but maybe we're both the Saaame. The world has turned. so many have burned. but nobody is to blame. Yet staring across this baren, wasted land i feel new life will be born beneath the BLOOD STAINED SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND. BENEATH THE BLOOD STAINED SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND. - ends song -

The dark souls of Skyrim

​@@bayabooz4855 Every soul has it's dark

@@caiodesouza5673 "Every soul has it is dark" That's right. The contraction "it's" is short for the phrase "it is". The word you should be using is "its".

@@BennyGoId Using full stops instead of commas is also a form of poor grammar. "That's right, the contraction "it's" is short for "it is"." The punctuation mark you should be using is a comma. Grammar Nazi's are cringe, grow up, you aren't as smart as you think you are.

No that's not what he said in the video, he listed off a couple fan theories that might be his origin that you're mixing together.

The king is back

But then he will dissapear after another 5 months. Dont get me wrong i love the guy, but his schedule is no longer to be trusted

@@DarkRavenWolf50 what are you expecting if he made every video about every detail and story

@@hugocorreia8039 hasn't stopped him before. He still continues to find tiny details and things that we dont know about

@@DarkRavenWolf50 yeah but count the years he is making those videos

Ill do it

@@genericwarthunderplayer312 please get back to us! I was wondering this same thing while watching

Alduin seeing the player at level 89 walking up to him in Sovngarde "WAIT WAIT WA-"

@@amoschew3609 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c4t7JnCW-48.html

@@genericwarthunderplayer312 Let us know how it goes

Also apparently after he is killed and you go to Sovngarde, he isn’t there.

He's just a meant to be an easter egg boss for players who've gone over the limit and to tell them of their own fate.

What ifhe just handed that blade to the imperial or it was stolen from him so that is why he want s to go to soverngard

@@thaddeushill7080 I don’t think him giving away a legendary Daedric sword is really in the cards, and even if somehow he just handed it off to some random guy, I don’t see how that makes one want to go to someone else’s heaven

@@Kronos0999 Well yeah, but speculation is way more fun. Most of the mysterious things in these games could be just explained away as a failure on the writers’ part or just a bit of fun, but it’s more entertaining to believe they had a reason for all of it.

@@thrifty0413 Called Moron Syndrome.

Yeah, none of that tucktock shit.

@@user-tp5yb4hr4w lol ok Boomer. You mean TakTik

@@sts1393 My text to speech screwed that up. I'm not boomer, I'm millennial. Besides you also wrote it wrong, I assume you're also using text to speech like me. The sad thing is in order to spell it right you can't use text to speech, because it makes up the word for you.

@@user-tp5yb4hr4w he was joking lol

I listen to Joe rogan at work

Jarl of Whiterun

@@SunsakiMemoir good catch ;)

how? you are the legend I can never be.

@@glrglr9946 I actually started doing this, because I was under the impression that once I zoned into a dungeon, the dungeon baddies and loot would be permanently locked to the the tier level I first zoned in with. I found out later that wasn't really the case, but since some quest reward stats are based on the level the player was when they received the item, I just kept the habit going. I did the same thing with Oblivion, Fallout 3 and 4 lol.

Lies.
