But how can a mortal defeat Alduin?

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 4:56 pm

Some points should be cleared at first:

  • I am assuming that when the Champion of Cyrodiil was offered a rank among the Blades, it is canonical that the Champion joined.
  • If I have understood it correctly, Alduin and Akatosh are the same being.


Remember when Martin shattered the Amulet of Kings? What if a small fragment remained, one which (though never seen) the Champion of Cyrodiil in Oblivion obtained? Let's asume that happened. Moving into the future, we have Esbern, the last remaining Blade who also happens to be the mentor of the player character in Skyrim (or so it is said). What if Esbern is the grandson (or great grandson) of the Champion of Cyrodiil? (Also, if he is, that is how he can be a Blade, if the Champion of Cyrodiil trained his/her son/daughter and that they did the same to their children and so on until Esbern came along.) The speculative fragment of the Amulet of Kings now comes into play, by being passed down from the Champion of Cyrodiil to his/her son/daughter and so on, until it came to Esbern. (The reason for training their children would be to protect this fragment from falling into the wrong hands.)

Seeing as how the Champion of Cyrodiil isn't dragonborn (since you cannot equip the Amulet of Kings in Oblivion), it can be assumed that Esbern aren't dragonborn either. But if he happens to have a small fragment of the Amulet of Kings, Esbern could give it to the player character in Skyrim (who is said to be dragonborn). How the Amulet of Kings could have an effect on Alduin is not something I know, but seeing as how Martin became a part of (presumably) Akatosh (who also is Alduin?), thus this last and little fragment of the Amulet of Kings is some sort of threat to Alduin (who is Akatosh?).

Sounds probable? Unreasonable? Bash away.

Not very probable. Wouldn't really feel like I earned the defeat of Alduin if it was using some piece of an amulet that I had nothing to do with, but my player from the last game did. It also makes assumptions about the player from the previous game, which I don't like. My Champion of Cyrodiil did not have kids.

Also, yes, Alduin is Akatosh.

Haha. Not literally "eat" the world in the sense of opening ones mouth and consuming and chewing the world up. Alduin is going to unmake the Mundus.

It's simple:

1) Be a Nord
2) Use levitation and fly really high into the sky
3) Alduin follows you up
4) "Did you solve the icing problem?"

You're either just going to make some negotiation with him or use your Thu'um to drop a mountain on him. Probably the mountain idea works better - anything short of that would feel very underwhelming, I think.

I am predicting you either find out what Alessia and her merry band did to bind Akatosh/Auriel/Whatever other names this god has, or you fiddle with some Dwemer reality-breaking doodads to fix the Alduin problem.

Either that, or you find some manner of Summon Shor card somewhere.

I believe the amulet of kings is gone full stop.
The pact has been broken.
Dragonborns are chosen or get their power from a god/or gods.
I would like to know which god/gods it is actually.
Once chosen they are trained by the greybeards.
Could be lorkhan = shor.

How can a mortal defeat a Daedric Prince? The Champion of Cyrodiil did.
Spoiler
He beat Jyggalag


I wanna kick Alduin's [censored] on my own!! I'll make that dragon kneel before me and beg for mercy.
