TES V: Skyrim : Dragonborn DLC - At the Summit of Apocrypha
160[WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS HEAVY SPOILERS FROM THE MAIN QUEST OF THE DRAGONBORN DLC]
This video features the last main quest of the Dragonborn DLC for the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, At the Summit of Apocrypha. Note that I decided to cut out from the footage two moments, the first being from the dragon taming tutorial (which consisted of five minutes of my dragon breathing ice at enemies and nothing more) and the second being me using the respec orbs after the battle. It's also worth mentioning that this video was recorded while playing the PC version of the game, which I heavily modded to my personal tastes. I don't have the time nor the room here to list all the mods I've used. I just want to adress that I made Vex from the thieves guild a follower thanks to one of those mods.
You can actually read the Black Book: Walking Dreams way before being introduced to this quest: I actually did that and that's the reason the path to reach the summit in Apocrypha isn't featured in the video. If you entered the book earlier and reached the final section, clearing the enemies and the chapters before you, you'll be able to reach the shout wall and get a world for Dragon Aspect, but you won't be able to go further. Only after triggering At the Summit of Apocrypha Sahrotaat will spawn and you'll be able to reach Miraak.
Unlike Alduin and lord Harkon before him, Miraak is able to put up quite a fight as the first dragonborn. On top of fighting you while using Dragon Aspect and dishing out powerful shouts and magical attacks, Miraak must be defeated four times: every time his health runs low he'll become ethereal and consume one of the three dragons nearby, restoring his health completely. That said, Miraak doesn't prove to be a very hard boss if you manage to dodge his powers and use your favorite skills well.
Another liability inside the fight is the tendency of Sahrotaar, the dragon you just tamed, to breath ice all over the place and catching you in its radious more than once, damaging and slowing you at the same time.
After defeating Miraak one last time you will be approached by Hermaeus Mora, who will kill the boss for good in your place. After that you can loot Miraak to gain his full gear and some mysterious orbs appear on the summit: you can use these orbs to regain the abilities points you have already spent to effectively respec your character. Althought you can leave the summit at this point, you can return there any time you want by reading the Black Book to respect again and again (althought each time you must pay a certain number of dragon souls)
