Released as a Creation in 2019 and added in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition, Umbra is a small but exceptional Skyrim mod that introduces the mystical Umbra Sword to the land of the Nords. Players who wish to acquire the sword must brave through the new challenging dungeon of Champion's Rest - an ancient underground keep filled with deadly traps, intricate puzzles, and a host undead Draugr.
According to Elder Scrolls lore, Umbra shares the name of both the Daedric sword imbued with Clavicus Vile's essence and its bound wielder. Although canonically destroyed, the sword's spirit has a mind of its own and can spawn at will to claim a new victim to its hilt. Umbra has previously appeared in Morrowind and Oblivion, and its captive bearers all have similar traits of being equipped with Ebony armor and longing desire to feed souls to their "master." Thus, Skyrim's Dragonborn must defeat the formidable Umbra holder to obtain the powerful blade for themselves.
After players have fought their way through the winding halls of Champion's Rest, they will enter a final gladiatorial arena. Umbra will be in the center of the large circular den, and once players approach, he will initiate a flurry of magical and physical attacks. To get the Umbra Sword in Skyrim, players must strike down Umbra in his lair. Depending on the difficulty players are roleplaying on, this boss fight could prove to be quite challenging.
As mentioned earlier, Umbra will be equipped with Ebony armor, one of the strongest armor sets in Skyrim, so players should be outfitted with something equally strong or better. While Umbra's boss battle has no specific phases, he will attack the player in several predictable patterns. Understanding how to react in each situation will ensure the player's survival during the fight. Players should make sure they have enough potent healing and Magicka/Stamina-replenishing potions before the battle begins.
Umbra's basic attack will be striking the player with both light and heavy two-handed attacks. While a few light slashes won't be a player's end, a couple of poorly evaded heavy strikes will make quick work of a player's HP gauge. He will occasionally cast a spell that renders him invincible for several seconds. During this time, players should avoid him until he summons spectral three Soul Images at his side.
Casting summoning magic causes his invulnerability spell to fade; however, players should take out his ghostly minions before directing damage to him. Umbra will sometimes cast a powerful firestorm or icy hurricane, causing massive damage to nearby players or their followers. He will start a lengthy animation before the cast, giving players time to move out of the spell's area of effect. In a rhythmic pattern, continue attacking Umbra or his shades when he's materialized, avoid him when he's invincible, and dodge his deadly spells. Repeat this process to defeat Umbra and obtain the Umbra Sword in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition is available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.
