LE Mythological Madness

[AlbertClockwork]

While I would just love to make this mod myself I sadly don't have the computer knowledge to do it. I put a lot of thought into this and decided to put it here for anyone to attempt to bring to life. If there is already a mod like this then I am sorry for wasting your time :).

 

While this is by for not a lore-friendly mod idea it's certainly different. I thought to myself "Why not have multiple monsters from greek mythology for you the player to fight!". These would not be generic "Bandit" type characters, these would be full blown boss battles that would require a bit more thought into defeating them than just "Swing sword". The lairs of these monsters would be found by speaking with NPCs and or reading books to get hints on the general location. Not quest markers or anything like that. Each monster will have a special trait, ability, or even a kill condition that will make them harder to kill. Here is just a basic overview on how I would see some of the monsters working

 

• Medusa and the Gorgons- In Greek Mythology there are three Gorgons. Medusa was by far the most famous and the most powerful, with the ability to turn anyone who looks upon her to stone. The other Gorgons Stheno and Euryale were immortal but did not posses the ability. Snakes for hair and brass talons they were very fearsome. The battle would work like this. At the star of the battle you will be facing all 3 Gorgons. Medusa will be the only killable one but the most dangerous, a poisoned melee attack and the ability to kill you instantly with her gaze (Obviously she will have a facewrap of sort they she will have to take off to give the player a warning). The other two Gorgons will be immortal as long as Medusa lives however they will be much weaker and will serve more as scouts to help Medusa locate you. Stheno can detect you if you are invisible if she is looking at you while Euryale can track you by your scent. If you manage to get a sneak attack on Medusa with a melee attack (Longer than a dagger) you will instantly kill her with a decapitation, gaining her head to turn anyone to stone 2 times, the other two Gorgons then become killable. No special tricks with the other two.

 

• The Minotaur- The Monster of the Labyrinth. The Bull of Minos. A beast of raw power and strength. The battle would take place in a maze with no way of knowing where you are (Map is disabled). You wander the maze, finding others inside and tips on how to fight the Minotaur until you reach the center of the maze....or the Minotaur finds you. The Minotaur will actively pursue you through the maze and when you reach the center he is summoned to the center. If caught inside the corridors of the maze it would be wise to run as there would be no way of dodging the Minotaurs Rush ability. You would keep running until you can break off the corridor and watch as he barrels past you. If in the center of the maze it is a tad easier. The Minotaur has one ability. He can rush at you at high speed and hit you...hard. If hit you would take a TON of damage and get knocked down. However he can't turn while rushing so you can easily dodge it, especially mobile rouge players. He hits extremely hard with his Axe but again is very slow with it. The Minotaur would occasionally get stuck in the wall from hitting it to hard or get his Axe stuck in someway giving the player a few precious seconds to deal damage or channel a spell. On his dead body there would be string that, when in your inventory, shows you the way out of the maze.

 

• The Nemean Lion- The Horror of Nema. A beast so fearsome the strongest demigod of all time was called upon to kill it. Quick, Agile, while maybe weaker than the others is perhaps the hardest to kill. The Nemean Lion would be immune to damage unless hit somewhere his fur is not. Like his paws, eyes, and mouth. Archery with good marksmanship is almost required. Warriors will have a terrible time. While the Nemean Lion doesn't output nearly as much damage as the Minotaur or Medusa he is quick. He attack about double as fast as if you dual wield daggers. The battle would take place in an area like Bloated Man's Grotto.

 

Of course each boss fight would give you a reward! A very powerful OP reward for fighting something so difficult

• Medusa and the Gorgons- Medusa's Bow: A unique bow that fires poisoned vipers instead of arrows (Arrow damage is applied to the Vipers). Applies a lethal poison that slows for 10 seconds and does 10 damage for 10 seconds
• The Minotaur- The Minotaurs Waraxe: A massive Waraxe that has a 30% to disarm the target but your attacks are 10% slower
• The Nemean Lion- The Hide of the Nemean Lion: A cloak that gives you damage immunity from behind

 

I know this would be quite the undertaking and maybe there is not much of an audience for this but I think it is a good idea. These are just 3 (Well 5) of the mythological monsters that could be added to this. If someone who is trying to make this is having trouble coming up with other Boss Monsters just ask me :D.
