...the download link no longer works either, I wanted to see if that fixed the issue.

Thanks very good mod, very similar to the "ebony warrior" I was able to beat him starting in Novice mode & reloading a save at a tougher setting till legendary mode at level 87 - the damage reflect setting makes him very tough at the higher settings. He seems to be impossible if you are setup as a mage, paralyze does not work against him.
Spent awhile toying with this entertaining mod, I will let others try without spoilers on ways to defeat him.
No issues, no CTD started fine with SKSE as well.
Thanks for the mod, waiting on the next chapter from Bethesda is hopeless it feels.

I really feel like the damage reflect thing needs to be taken out. If not for that the fight would be fun. I get super high damage, high hp and armor, but when I'm forced to use a weaker weapon well that's just not a good fight. Because of this I do next to no damage against something that reams me in about 3-4 hits, less if the reflect procs. Not only that but he heals when below 1k HP, so I can't even break past his healing since he can't be staggered reliably. Only reason I even got him down that low is thanks to Summon Glory from the Spellblade mod. (Apperently he's invincible.) Not to mention the rewards are kinda meh. All in all it's a decent mod, but needs to have the damage reflect taken out. Everything else is fine.

The reason i use mods, Vanilla only goes so far. I wanted to test "overpowered mods" against this guy, as he is designed around preventing those sort of cheaty-seeming mods. As for the reflection damage, it's a matter of using a weapon that'll hurt him, but leave you still in fighting shape. I like this guy. He is a good challenge for veteran players with like 1,000 plus hours put into the game.

The reflect damage he uses is exactly what Ebony Warrior uses. And it is very frustrating when you have strong weapons (and everything you've posted is perfectly valid, all I meant by slightly doubting the possibility of slaying Wulfgard on level 50 was the lack of more hp on that level but, once again, with quick enough healing + preparation + bit of luck it is possible) when you kill yourself just because you deal so much damage. No offence taken, anyway. Good job on beating him and that's it. Also take into consideration the fact that it was my first mod ever- while I had plenty of other ideas my lack of knowledge kept me away from introducing more stuff.

All it takes for maxed out enchanting, alchemy, smithing, onehanded, and lightarmor (onehanded really only needs level 80, and lightarmor doesn't need maxed out leveling with the first three skills) is to be level 41.

Add that with onehanded damage potions, 200+ healing potions, vegetable soup, and you're set. One could kite the guy and just damage him, or just stand there spamming the hotkey for health while dual-wield attacking him. The latter of which is fairly easy on a level 80 character (assuming you max out health with perk points).

^Which leads to my frustration. The most overpowered, but legitimate, methods for skyrim just felt like I had to do them more... Instead of taking 30 health pots to fight with, I just planted the ingredients, fast traveled a few times, and voila! 200 health potions. But perhaps this is just how Skyrim is.

ARGO,

I probably came off a little rude in my comment, so I apologize on that.

As for damage reflection, yes it is in vanilla but only for the character to utilize according to my knowledge. I understand the reasoning behind its implementation, I was just frustrated at the resulting purpose. My character, maxed out armor rating and around 1000 health, using high damage and fast melee, gets killed by my own hit. This isn't some trick, it's the result of maxed out enchanting, alchemy, smithing, onehanded, and light armor. The ability is not seen much in skyrim, except if the player character takes it, and I was thrown off by its usage. Again, I understand it's implementation. I've had a death where I have won the fight and downed him, my finishing blow on him being my own demise...
ARGO  [author] Feb 11, 2018 @ 9:08am 
different type of character. If you were using a sneak assassin archer- he would punish you for doing typical overpowered things for a "class" like that. If you were to play as a summoner- he'd punish you with something else. I am certainly bit sceptical about you beating him on vanilla legendary with a level 50 melee character but it is possible, theoretically. So I'd say good job and thanks for using my mod.
ARGO  [author] Feb 11, 2018 @ 9:07am 
Thanks for your opinion devonic. I am, however, not exactly sure how an experienced, hardcore skyrim player like yourself (you stated it) doesn't get what that "damage reflection" is, since it's something that was in the vanilla originaly and was actually used by an NPC. As for the teleporting and summoning he could have had if I had given it to him- sure. But I did not. He was meant to punish certain overpowered mechanics in this game using special effects, unique for him and clearly different from something that was in vanilla. It is more likely that you character simply requires a different playstyle so he did not punish you for doing things you'd normally do with a
not_devon Feb 10, 2018 @ 10:01am 
(continued comment) It's a war of attrition, not strategy. And the damage reflect and other weird effects that I don't exactly understand how they work (and I actually feel are bugged) can really ruin the fun (like swinging at him when he's down and recovering (so not attacking me) and dying because of the random damage reflect -_-).

I've beaten him on a level 50 on Legendary with vanilla. It just takes a bit of health potions, maxed out one handed gear, and spamming a few buttons. I'm just another hardcore skyrim player (~1800 hours) that wanted an interesting challenge with good effects. This is tough, I'll give you that, but I didn't find it much different from many of the other "insane boss" mods.

And I don't know why the guy below me is using a ton of mods to change the game, and talking about it as if we know what he means... Just do it on vanilla and tell us that way.

"I did not give him million HP, I did not give him weapons that kill you with one hit,"

I understand the mod author believes they have created a unique character for high level players in skyrim, but it's really nothing special. It's a character with max armor, 6000+ health, weapons that can tear through maxed out armor and near 1000 hp in one dual blade power attack, and weird effects that basically are coded so the really powerful skyrim characters have weird trouble taking him down (the biggest example is some kind of damage reflection once you're weapon becomes too powerful... I've literally died from just swinging at him).

Some kind of teleporting, summoning, etc., would have made this interesting and nice. To put things simply, it's an enemy that just has to be beat by kiting, health potions, and pure bludgeoning.

For funsies, I just tried to fight Wulf with my fresh character, a Lv. 1 Altmer armed with a wooden sword, Ancient Nordic armor, and TONS of health potions.... and I actually did a bit of damage to him. Granted, it was like 20 pixels, but hey, I did good. Lasted a full five minutes.
RustedCutlass717 May 14, 2017 @ 10:51am 
Just a note, when I get my recording tech working on this frail ol' Seven I'll record a couple of rounds against Wulf with varied characters. Should be fun, but for now I'mma take a break, unsub for a while, and develop a few more characters. It's getting crazy up in there.
RustedCutlass717 May 14, 2017 @ 10:45am 
Did a run with my two Gunslingers.

First run (Lv. 51 Gunslinger Speeder, Altmer male Garnet Swallow) was decent. Using the Quicksliver Boots and other speed-enhacers, I managed to cut Wulf down to half health on Legendary using the Magamic Harquebus before getting cornered by him. There were no followers that run.

Second run (My joy, Lv. 73 Gunslinger, Lungari male Gejori Lungari) was nearly a victory. Using prmarily the Flintlock Blunderbuss at a medium range, I had my followers (Kharjo, Serana, and a Direwolf) go in first. They used a seeming hit-and-run tactic normal of NPCs, and I just wailed at him 'til I ran out of blunderbuss rounds. I swapped to the Flintlock rifle and went after him from afar and chopped him down to maybe a couple of pixels left... before he yet again caught me in a corner and annihilated me at close range.

I'm close to beating him, I just haven't gotten it yet.

Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it. And of course-good job! : )
Anaklusmos May 13, 2017 @ 5:36pm 
killed him on legendary forgot to say it :P
Anaklusmos May 13, 2017 @ 5:36pm 
very well done on the mod very balanced character and one of the most amazing thing is he's actually killable not like the other mods made by kids that the boss has daedric armor that protects over 1000000000m damage and attacks at the speed of light. i managed to kill him on my second try first one was on expert so.. yeah very good mod keep it up ! :)
RustedCutlass717 Apr 23, 2017 @ 7:54pm 
For a Gunslinger class, you'll need a musket mod of sorts or another mod that adds firearms. Most of mine are (technically) lore-friendly, being from the Wheels of Lull or Aethernautics mods. (Both of which are TECHNICALLY canon.)

Or you know, you could get the ol' Flintlock mod for the rifle.
Droid Apr 14, 2017 @ 12:33pm 
Ya know, one mod that I like to use for armor showcases since it over-powers your carry weight, health, magicka, stamina, and swim under water. Mods called Crimson Dragon. It's on steam. I really do recommend it for those who like OP mods or are having trouble with some of the biggest problems of skyrim
Alvishar Apr 12, 2017 @ 2:52pm 
@RustedCutlass717 - Gunslinger? What mods're you using for such a thing to work in skyrim?
RustedCutlass717 Apr 12, 2017 @ 2:43pm 
He's a fun one, I'll give him that. I'll try out my Gunslinger build in a few days.
ARGO  [author] Apr 12, 2017 @ 5:40am 
Great! Nice read! Hope you enjoyed all your fights against Wulfgard!
RustedCutlass717 Apr 12, 2017 @ 1:46am 
Alright, Wulf's a hard cookie. He's beaten both my high levs and I've only ever gotten him lower then half-health twice with my Falmer.

He swamped my Falmer (Snow Elf), Chrysalis Vivian Esmeralda, a Lv. 71 Barbarian/Enchantress, a feat few have accomplished.
Even with mods (Even "OP" mods), he's a HARD fight. He KNOWS the little tricks, nulling even the guns from Aethernautics. So far, circling him is the only thing that's worked, besides having Vari'kaj and Sceolang go in as cannon fodder.

On Vanilla (Or with DLCS only), I've yet to beat him. For that, I'm using a Dunmer Lv. 70 Alteration Spellsword, Elsrot la'Fey. I haven't made a dent in him, even with Kharjo and a Stray Dog covering me. Again, circling him has worked.

In short, Enchanted Melee seems to work with limited ranged and healing. Circle around Wulf to do something, and have a follower (preferably an essential one) to soak up some damage. 9make sure said follower is well-equipped.)
Alvishar Apr 5, 2017 @ 2:56pm 
@DDG Blackened Soul - SkyRe for starters. Level uncapper. Maybe the race mods on skyrim that adds little bonuses.
Droid Apr 5, 2017 @ 12:44pm 
Thanks dude :) got any mods you recommend I try?
ARGO  [author] Apr 5, 2017 @ 1:58am 
And I just saw it. Good job!
Droid Apr 4, 2017 @ 8:11pm 
Hey, I uploaded a photo you may like. Oh, and I didn't use any mods. (weapons, armor, magic, powers, etc.)
ARGO  [author] Mar 25, 2017 @ 8:43am 
Thank you guys. I appreciate : )
Alvishar Mar 24, 2017 @ 4:54pm 
As I'm willing to do the same as Spc. Kydney
SPECKydney Mar 24, 2017 @ 4:45pm 
if you make any more please let me know i am willing to test them for you
ARGO  [author] Mar 23, 2017 @ 8:36pm 
Currently not- it was my first mod ever and so far the only one : )
SPECKydney Mar 23, 2017 @ 7:06pm 
do you have any other mods??
ARGO  [author] Mar 23, 2017 @ 9:25am 
Glad you liked it! :)
SPECKydney Mar 22, 2017 @ 5:47pm 
love this mod was a good fight i had to switch to using a really op magic attack along with a majorly op thum to win i will be keeping this mod :steamhappy:
Droid Mar 21, 2017 @ 8:08pm 
no problem Argo :)
ARGO  [author] Mar 21, 2017 @ 3:28pm 
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. I don't know about that molag bal's armor mod but well- just have fun with my mod. Be it 100% vanilla or not. As for other quests to obtain powers Wulfgard uses- it's definitely an interesting idea. The only problem I can see is the fact some of his powers were created by me to counter player actions- while you could obtain them all some would not influence your character at all. However, some would. I will consider that idea though- thanks! : )
Droid Mar 21, 2017 @ 1:17pm 
this sounds like fun. but even my vanilla character completed things like the armor quest for molag bals armor mod. which if you've ever played with that mod you'll know why i mentioned it. but this sounds like a lot of fun. and about the special magics and abilities it seems like if you created a mod following this where you can obtain his knowledge through herma mora quests it could be a running mod series that people would enjoy. Each magic could be like a chapter of story. Great mod and great detail. I hope you continue to do this well in the future.
Anaklusmos Mar 17, 2017 @ 6:07pm 
oh, well have to buy it then
ARGO  [author] Mar 17, 2017 @ 5:41pm 
Yes, you need all 3 DLC to run this mod.
Anaklusmos Mar 17, 2017 @ 2:01pm 
ok fixed the crashing problem but it's just not in my game i rechecked and it's in my skyrim folder do i need all 3 of the dlc's ? i only have Dragonborn and Dawnguard ..? i was searching for a mod like this i just really want to try it out to see if i'm op or not
Mr.KILLJOY Mar 17, 2017 @ 12:22am 
I would love to play this in the future but right now my current character is level 20 and I can't seem to remeber all the mods I had active for my highest character (I had like ~140). I'm making a sort of Lich King warrior right now with the Ordinator perks so a fight with Wulfgard should be very interesting. I'm just curious to see the effectiveness of an army of undead and deadra.
SPECKydney Mar 16, 2017 @ 6:47pm 
trying this on legandary after i restart the game i have some mods but i hope this is an actual challage for me unlike some of the others i have tried ill let you know how it goes
ARGO  [author] Mar 16, 2017 @ 10:13am 
Play on a difficulty that offers some challenge, then. He was designed and balanced mostly for Vanilla Legendary Difficulty. Playing on expert difficulty is far from being an optimal way to check what your character is capable of.
XClementineO🧡 Mar 16, 2017 @ 1:04am 
Uh that was too easy? I'm not using cheats. I got vinailla stats and only this mod, i'm on Expert. I'll try using fists only to see if I can make myself weaker.
Alvishar Mar 13, 2017 @ 9:07pm 
Ah, alright. Thanks for the heads up. I'll check his level when I see him, and the mod doesn't decrease the initial level of the NPC so that shouldn't be a problem. One thing's for sure, it'll be a whole lot of fun.
I'll report my finding's when I encounter him.
ARGO  [author] Mar 13, 2017 @ 9:04pm 
I don't know if your mod is going to apply to him or not. He is locked to vanilla level 150, he's always 150 and doesn't uses any player level multipliers. When you face him using that mod you mentioned just use a console and check his level. If it's not 150 then your mod changed something. Good luck!
Alvishar Mar 13, 2017 @ 8:02pm 
This seems pretty awesome. Quick question though, I play on legendary, while I also have a custom mod that forces NPC's to level with me so they're stronger than me pretty much all the time, do you think this would apply to "Wulfgard the Old"?

Also, I'm gonna try and take him out with a Dawnguard Vampire hunter - Ranger loadout using a crossbow and the Runic Axe. Current level 143.
Whitegale87 Mar 11, 2017 @ 3:01pm 
my way to beat him.












the world...
SSJ4 Gerku Mar 10, 2017 @ 10:46pm 
still havent beat alduin on this character yet even cause imma do a "10 ways to troll kill alduin" vid of that
