What Happens if you Defeat Miraak Early in Skyrim: Dragonborn? 

My character: 100% spell absorbtion Also my character: Oh no, sparks and farts are too strong, help

I love how the Miraak up top is basically like “what the f**k? You’re not supposed to be up here!” and then runs away.

When I found Apocrypha, I was legit terrified at the horrific world that I stood in. This was not the game I expected and I love it for that.

Miraak was basically *YOU HAVE COME TO THE PLACE WHERE DESTINY IS MADE UNPREPARED?*

I was a Argonian werewolf arch mage who was the best mage of all Skyrim. Only to get my ass beat by some dude on a island. I was legit so angry.

The code that makes up skyrim is held together by nothing but scotch tape and the hopes and dreams of the developers 😭

You know the game is great when people still make content out of the game even after a decade had passed.

The fight with this dragon was more realistic than any other dragon fight in the game LMAO

6:15 "With my new ebony arrows of slaying, I drop Mirrak." **hits him with glass arrows**

“What happens if you kill miraak early” The artifacts of the legendary dragonborn suddenly become utter shit because you came too early

4:10 - Little info about the "enemies" you found there: They're the rieklings that can spawn when you're in combat during the world, if you finished the thirsk mead hall quest line, aiding the rieklings.

man Dragonborn is my favorite expansion pack of all time

Seeing that dragon trying to kill the Dragonborn as he was riding him just did it for me 🤣

I feel like Metamonger hasn't been in a video for a while. I really liked his humor. Anyone else?

When you search “help Miraak” via console commands, you can see that he has multiple NPC IDs. I do not recommend summoning any of his IDs as some lead to a potential permanent screen blurs, visual filter effects, etc. However, I still find it interesting that Miraak would have so many different copies of himself.

Man, I can't wait to get out of the hospital and play some skyrim

Miraak has different versions indeed. He also wears the same gear but with different enchantments on it. The enchantment at 4:40 on Miraaks's mask of Frost Resistance 50% and Frost spell damage by 25% increased isn't on the final version of the mask you can loot; it's only a added magicka enchantment.

I started this quest right after the 1st main quest thinking it was part of the story ☹️ HE BEEN ROBBING ALL MY DRAGON SOULS

When you said kill miraak early, I immediately thought "what in his temple before it burnt down from dragons and he took his bitch ass over to our boy herma mora?"

How have I never heard of HorrorScoped before?! This content is awesome and the commentary is top notch! Definitely subbing!

7:12 when he killed jim and said he was invisible look in the back ground you can see his body falling

The very first time I played Skyrim, I went to Solstheim and faced Miraak as a baby level 9 without any clue what was about to happen. I have no idea how I did it. But I took him down.

The seekers blast you until you die from the damage, it takes a really long time if you are a high level, I was 261. My character was sitting there for a minute at least just taking the shots. I totally agree with how odd the cinematic is. With how much shots I could tank, I could easily take out Miraak and his minions right there. Only leveled up once during the storyline, but I totally got so much stronger for my rematch.

TL;DW: nothing. he's essential until the encounter you're supposed to kill him in. THAT'S IT, THAT'S THE VIDEO.

"What if you do something you're not supposed to in a Bethesda game?" Considering they're held together with old gum, band-aids, and scotch tape... _Gee, I can't possibly imagine what would happen_

I think it's interesting that this version of Miraak's robe (the unofficial one) actually doesn't do what is says it does, this robe says that it does the same thing that the Archmage robe does but it actually does not do any of that there is no magic regen or any of it, if you check your active effects while you are wearing just the robe and no other piece of the outfit you will find that the robe only grants only 20% spell reduction to alteration spells, but one thing i find to be weirder than that is in spite of granting a small reduction to alteration the robe is not affected by a fortify alteration potion, however it is worth noting that if you drink a super fortify restoration potion before you put on the robe and then equip the robe the robe will grant no casting cost for alteration spells and this will last for as long as you leave the robe equipped but if you remove it the effect will be lost and you will have to drink another resto potion, so all in all the robe is pretty damn cool in my opinion.

RPG MC: I have completed all of the side quests and have grind my way to the highest level. No one can defeat me!!! Cut scene: Yes, but actually no.

I'm guessing that he is considered essential according to the storyline until it's actually time to kill him.

What's funny, is that if you kill miraak to fast, the quest breaks and soft locks you there on the tower.

Mirrak: Ahh Dragonborn. I have been hoping to confront you and destroy you! But alas the plot says we cannot yet fight! See you in 5-10 hours.

Lmaoo this current playthrough I'm playing I literally went to solstien immediately, as soon as my player was free to travel and I completed the bleak fall narrows and dragon mission I went to solstien (rest in peace all the different variants of my character that died until I hit level 20 and could actually fight the *ash hoppers* ) and ended up beating mirak first thing (which actually made his gear absolutely garbage. All the spell and shout absorption stats only went up to 10-15 % and that was about it). But I will say it was satisfying going to the grey beards for my "initial training" when I literally just beat the *first dragonborn who was basically a god in himself* like yea sure give me training you old goats. WHAT CAN YOU TEACH ME THAT I DON'T ALREADY KNOW😂

i remember the first time i played, i completed all black books as soon as just possible by waiting and reloading everything on every fight, then doing quests that hint miraaks existence etc while i am just there like "what do you mean he is supposed to be one of the end bosses"

“So we started out killing Miraak early, but THEN, ended up killing all of his schizophrenic-esque souls to both make a point and to send a message.”

Skyrim is a masterpiece.

“So we give him an arrow for his birthday”. That line cracked me up.

I had a more dialogue for Serana mod and when I reached the first book I waited to see if she was going to say anything looking back and forth between her and the book, after about a minute or so I decided she had nothing to say, but as soon as I picked it up she entered dialogue with me and broke the cutscene of me getting sucked into the book and appearing in Apocrypha with Miraak, so when Miraak started talking I started stabbing.

Title: what happens if you defeat Miraak early? Video: narrating an early Miraak fight

That’s funny enough to take the bad grades I will get tomorrow for not doing my homework

5:20 as far as I know, Apocrypha is a worldspace the same way Tamriel is, where all the cells exist together in the same world. Cells are relatively small with "outdoor" worldspaces, so the "map" where you appear the first time reading the book is a different cell than the one where the final fight takes place, but you moving to the tower from that place still took you to the final fight cell, because the final fight cell is close enough to be visible, since they're in the same worldspace. So basically, the place where the final fight takes place is accessible by reading that first book and no-clipping, because it's a different cell in the same worldspace close by. Does that make sense?

I remember my fight with this guy. I used that imperious curse tight deal that comes with phenderix. He just stood there watching the dragons fight come up and when they both eventually died and their skeletons somehow landed in a very sexual position (yes I have screens), I killed him.

With my new ebony arrows of slaying *fires a basic glass arrow*

That's really weird behaviour you just wouldn't expect to find.

Got to thinking... maybe I'm the Dragonborn, and I just don't know it yet?

"Camped out, like a good Eagle Scout" lmao. Kudos.

Obsidian would've let us bop miraak to death the second we first meet him.

See Dick use resto-loop to make an impossibly strong bow. See Dick use his 1-shot bow on Miraak. See Dick glitch the quest, making it impossible to finish. See Dick reload an earlier save. Don't be a Dick.

okay the reason miraak was on the tower is 99% because legit they created his existence there and that cutscene together whether one was before or one was after, but clearly they didn't finish development of the first black book cutscene too soon before the tower fight assets. NOT JUST THAT --- but clearly they didn't form the dragon health renewal (the dragons theirselves) assets other than the dragon we see in the cutscene WERE created quite longer than Miraak was after the first black book cutscene....because if they're going to include Miraak on the island because it appears as if during the creation of this cutscene having every other asset (building-wise) around, they went ahead and included what they had already created which was Miraak's character identity and SOME of the fight which they were CLEARLY (either) already working on during the creation of that cutscene...or after they finished that cutscene, during development within this time somewhere inbetween completing that cutscene and before game release, there was a medium period where they went ahead and included whatever they could asset-wise into the first cutscene's surround environment. This period where they had already conceived certain functionalities within the Miraak fight on the tower was (although uncomplete) included in the first cutscene without removal TO SAVE TIME on development WHILE including the tower in the environment so that people don't (not) see something that was there in the future which could've been seen almost moments after depending on how fast the player played. But not removing the (at this time current) Miraak asset tower? Well, i'll tell you the majority isn't that they wanted to save time. The majority of it is that players aren't intended to noclip into the fuckin....tower dude. That's why Miraak's there in a different map session. Guaranteed.

"But then i realized, Miraak's been lifting" XD

This is when I realized he was lifting haha thats good

It's interesting that his namesake helm you loot early is the pre-release copy wherein it boosts frost resistance on top of increasing magicka, before it was changed to only provide a magicka bonus. That one is much more interesting than the one you acquire in the story.

Maybe the true Miraak are the friends we made along the way.

And now imagine games in the future where this is possible...

NVM still an XD moment though

So that's why there are several sets of Mirak armor and weapons in the coc qasmoke room

A great way to kick off April ☺️

I just played skyrim and the cut scene with the role of the edlers vs Alduin took place. The one women lifted Alduin up and then weirdly glitched him off the mountain. Rip 😂

4:39 Interesting the mask of cutscene-Miraak has the effects of the Dukaan-mask (50% frost resistence and x25% frost damage) not the effect of the actual Miraak mask (+40-70 points of magicka), but the Mask you get from the Miraak-clone on the tower has the normal enchantment (you can briefly see the effects at 6:54 ). Also the armorrating of both versions is way higher than it's supposed to be 56 points instead of it's usual 23-27 points.

You should break Metroid prime 2 by going in the last portal you come out of in the game!!! Normally it’s too high to jump to, but it’s always activated and leads to the last boss of the game.

Just remembered the date

4:42 i finally know what miraak looks like

reminds me of my days killing ulfric stormcloak the moment i meet him

When I did this dlc I was a LITERALLY GOD thanks to the restoration “feature” just to get forced into doggy by a cultist wit taser hands

Really shocked to see there's another Miraak. He must have a hocrux

this is why u never by a ford/jeep/sahrotaar junk. Always stick to a tacoma/4runner/odahviing

Miraak up top was like "APRIL FOOLS!"

at 7:16 he didnt desintegrate he is falling in the back

I enjoyed these content!, well done

You killed Miraak before reaching level 60? Congratulations, you just screwed yourself out of a max level sword.

I'm trying to fight miraak at level 6

When I first saw the title, I thought "this kinda like swanky box for non-Nintendo games" and then I clicked on the video and realized that this literally is swanky box

So here's the thing, there was always 2 Miraak's, the weaker version who tells u everything and would send u back to the reality and the one in Apocrypha who would steal ur powers as Dragonborn to reek havock on both places solstine and Skyrim, they used a weaker version once cause they want the battle to last a life time (which is 2 hours) the Dragons were supposed to be in the fight on the second visit cause Miraak stole them from Skyrim in his less figured form, thus making the fight more challenging if u strike him 1st the dragons (even urs) start helping him, making the fight a true life time (3 days) trust me I found this out on accident cause I thought it was like the final boss fight in DKC (Donkey Kong Country) where the boss never says anything.

My grandson killed mirec early and was arrested when he got back to the island

Or you could transform to a werewolf and pounce his ass.

lol he says u have no idea about dragon born powers but he died a second later

Also if you use the potion glitch to create op weapons, when you attack him he soft locks because the dragons only give him a set amount of health

Based on what Ive seen if you kill any important npc early you usually get fucked

High seekers are like...lvl 42 i heard.... Impressive you beat several with that equipment...at that level...

if you drink about 4 to 16 doses of flin (a Skyrim Alcoholic Beverage), before using the scroll the enter the cut-scene to face miraak... then your character will break out of the animation if you attempt to swing your sword, where you can then kill miraak and grab his armor from his body before it clips through the ground.

I killed him at level 13 and beat alduin by 16 now idk what to do i did the dark brotherhood questline and now i have 56k gold i have no idea what to do now 😂

So the reason there was 2 mirakks is because of the way Skyrim's map system works. They don't move the characters from map to map, they create copies and leave them where they need to be. The reason is Incase you somehow break the game, you'll still be able to interact with the character later

I guess miraak are the friends we made along the way

I can honestly say that I've only completed the dragonborn DLC and its entirety once I got skyrim in January 2012, currently 2400 hours

Skyrim the best game ever made brilliant music excellent storyline absolutely outstanding still playing twelve years later just amazing xx

Multiple Miraak IDs.

There used to be a bug if you damaged him too much in the final fight he’d fall and never summon a dragon to absorb and it was stuck like that, using a bow that’s exploited to have 900 damage is not a good idea

Fun fact In the final fight with mirak if you are a high enough level then when he heals himself he won't heal all the way and he will stay ethereal so you can't hurt him

It works, it just works.

I just fought miraak at lvl 17.... no mods just dlc

The first time I played this the cutscenes bugged out and miraak stood with his back facing me and I could move. So I thought that I had to sneak up behind him and try to stab him to trigger the next part. So when I tried to kill him and nothing happened that's when I realized there was no sound and it must of crashed which it did because the next second the game completely stopped and I had to turn off my PS3.

If you ride a Revered dragon first. Even though legendary dragons are the most powerful.. you can't touch it the Revered dragon will show up and beat its ass

4:00 There is no recall or intervention in this place

Maybe this video should be titled “how many ways can you break Skyrim?“

to think so many interesting things would happen

Bro I’m laughing so hard at this video wtf lmao

I was level 13, a boy, when I ventured into Solstheim, got my ass kicked and by the time I left I was a man.

Did you know in solstyme if you do the mission were you get an home solstyme you there is an infinite gold glich attached to the dragon preast masks the place has four mannekens in the main bedroom if you place one of these masks on the mannekens or all 4 and leave the building then return remove the masks and leave the building the next time you return the masks wil have duplicatted doesn't work with other armors and swap ING it out wil stop the glich

looks like you could loot "miraak" off of miraak's corpse...

I'm a red guard character, and defeated miraak at level 20 with a lvl 77 2 handed weapon

I literally held unbounded storms and cleared the boss fight in less than a minute

at level 20 something, i had fought Miraak...and i survived simply beacuse my Magika was so damn high and i just ran around and healed as i slowly wittled down his health.
