Oblivion Easter Eggs: Udyrfrykte Matron

[XdevilgirlxXx]

@90Andros yes it is because it's been in another elder scrolls, it's not a secret because a secret is like a hidden doorway leading to a secret room or chest or an object

[90Andros]

it's not an easter egg.

[bilijoful]

no a easter egg just an hidenne little storry

[Ptozzen]

The weight of her, as you stated being light(only 120 pounds), is only the weight of the bones. You forgot that the decomposed material, which is meat, muscles and organs, also weighed quite a bit. I'm guessing that she weighs around 30-35 pounds more, depending on her race's genetic built and her own lifetime growth.

Lolol sounding like a smartass is so fun, don't you think? :D

Btw thanks for the video showing how to find this monster, had some problems with her.

[64DivinePoints]

@Ptozzen Actually, if you drop Svenja's remains from your inventory you'll notice that it's not bones, but actual intact body parts (2 arms, 2 legs, a head, and a torso) They're just broken down segments from a zombie; retaining the same mesh and textures.

[Ptozzen]

@64DivinePoints Ah, never really looted it. Thanks :)

[TheInvinciblespartan]

i was trying to find dive rock to kill the adoring fan as chuck norris instead i end up killing A HUGE TROLL

[OblivionMaster42398]

What sword did you use?

[TalonMercenary]

yeh first time i met her, i went speeding down the mountain side with her following me hurting herself since she kept jumping down too far lol, with the help of the hunter at Aerin's camp i was able to finish her off at the bottom.....and then ad to climb all the way back up again

[CaptSnow12]

i was able to run the thing dow n to cheydenhall and let the horse keeper and the guards fight it off

[WarGod547]

why is it always invisible or partly chameleon

[64DivinePoints]

That was explained in earlier comments;

"The size, texture, and frost shader effect are all random and will be slightly different each time you encounter it due to a problem with its scripting (which was fixed in the PC version by user made plug-ins)."

[brainsbeer5]

Sorry that this is the second time i have commented but this is funny. In Bloodmoon you meet Svenja Snow-Song and she makes you chieftain of the Mead Hall (Svenja is the dead person who's remains you find in the Matron) However.... whilst playing Bloodmoon you can kill her... so this means that Svenja was killed before meeting Agnar and confronting the Matron so this never happened!!! Also in Agnar's journal is mentions a champion aka. YOU IN BLOODMOON!!!! MWAHAHA knowledge is good.

[TESIVNow999]

WOW!!!!!!!!!! Really?

[brainsbeer5]

In Bloodmoon the Morrowind Expansion there is a quest called 'Mead Hall Massacre' and during the quest you kill the Udyrfrykte....and just like Beowulf Svenja Snowstorm and that other guy (can't remember his name) go to kill it's mother... and fail as you can see here. In Beowulf he is in a mead hall when Grendel (The Udyrfrykte) attacks. Cool or what!

[jriffiths]

in my game it was a normal sized troll that wasnt invisible and that guys body wasnt there. (its kind of fun to try to put the chicks body back together)

[64DivinePoints]

Hahaha, yeah, Ive done that with several of my saves; although you might have noticed her arms and legs are a bit mismatched. The size, texture, and frost shader effect are all random and will be slightly different each time you encounter it due to a problem with its scripting (which was fixed in the PC version by user made plug-ins). Ive seen it quite a few different ways; regular troll, semi-transparent, semi-transparent with glow, completely invisible with glow, and completely invisible.

[grimace1995]

oh and when i fought it i was on new charecter lvl2 i think it was superhard to kill on lvl 2 but wen i fought it it was not invisible or shinning and shimmering like that does any one no why?

[64DivinePoints]

Poor scripting on Bethesda's part; It's supposed to be partially invisible with a frost shader (An icy blue aura that surrounds the body) however the script doesn't always run correctly and you'll end up with one of three possible outcomes; Fully visible, invisible, or the correct form.

[64DivinePoints]

Also, I assume that most people using this video are very familiar with combat strategy; its not terribly difficult at low levels, but, it is a long fight compared to the well equipped level 32 PC Im using in this video (Ive fought it at level one and faired extremely well for only having a steel bow, iron arrows, and a fireball spell) Although Ill admit it gives me trouble from time to time (Ive been playing on 90% difficulty lately and all it takes is one guard break to take me out)

[grimace1995]

i remeber some monster from morrowind . if you go to solsteim(or howevr u spell it) and you find the nord mead hall they tell you about it i thought this was it but aparrently not

anyone no wat im talkin bout +how to find it ? or if theres a vid on youtube?

[64DivinePoints]

I haven't played Morrowind in a while, but I might have what you're looking for. I believe you're referring to the Nord tribe of Thirsk in Solstheim. You must speak with Svenja Snow-Song to get the information pertaining to the Udryfrykte, and killing it will make you the leader of the Nord tribe Thirsk. Go west from the hall in Thrisk to Lake Fjalding; The entrance to the Lair of the Udyrfrykte is right there.

[brainsbeer5]

I know what u mean look at my other comments on this vid

[Tyral11]

k so what happens if you didnt kill it the first time you attacked it, cause you wanted to turn up the settings and make it as much of an epic battle as you can, and you cant find it.

ive been searching for it for around 2 hours now since i first attacked it and i cant find it anywhere.

[64DivinePoints]

Thats a bit difficult, chances are if you ran away it attempted to follow you. Since theres no easy way to get up to where it was its probably running against the mountain side stuck in place. Its also possible that if you ran down the side of the mountain that it died on the way down from falling damage. There may be nothing you can do short of using console codes or the construction set.

[Tyral11]

i had invisibility on when i jumped, so i dont think it followed me off the cliff. and i thought about if it died falling down the mountain, thats why i spent so much time, in all i spent 3 hours going u and down the mountain, all sides of the mountain, and if its alive stuck somewhere i dont know where cause i have gloves that have detect life 110 feet and i searched and searched and still noithing

[64DivinePoints]

Well, I can think of several ways to solve this, but none of them are legit. If you have the PC version use the console code "player.placeatme DiveRockHorror" (without the quotes) access the console by hitting the "~" key. If that doesn't work I could make you a plug-in file that will spawn a second matron in the same spot or change the original from static to re-spawn.

[Tyral11]

i have the 360 oblivion

[64DivinePoints]

Ah, unfortunately theres nothing you can do then as the Matron is a static spawn. The only thing you can do is keep looking around or start a new game. If you chose to keep looking please keep in mind that every 2-3 in game days that pass cause a cell reset and will purge the cells of any corpses. So you should probably reload the save from your starting point after a search of an area comes up short.

[BackToPass]

do you think a level 6 with a high destruction level and a level 56 marksmanship with a fine steel bow and 400 someodd steel arrows could kill this thing? i might stand on a rock where it can't get me

P.S. im playing on the xbox 360

[64DivinePoints]

Most definitely, its possible to kill it at level 1 (Ive done it 3 on 80%, the only difference between what level you are is the amount of damage dealt; lower level = longer fight) I recommend bringing fire based destruction spells & enchantments and having a few welkynd stones handy for magika recovery. Other then that you could scale the side of the mountain to avoid damage altogether. Hope this helps.

[BackToPass]

k thanks im gonna try. one last question is can he reach high? because im thinking of getting on top of a rock then shooting him

[64DivinePoints]

It has about the same reach as a regular troll; it basically has to be right on top of you to get a hit in. I don't recall if there are any decent large rocks around his general area, but you could easily substitute the rock for the side of the cliff to the east. Running against the cliff side and repeatedly tapping jump should get you high enough to get out of reach & give a clearer shot then being on top of a rock.

[ddogate]

your oblivion is modded on evry corner of it

[64DivinePoints]

More so now that I have a better video card & CPU; I find the original HUD and menu scheme to be an eyesore, and the environments, stock bodies, and equipment are rather bland. I recommend graphic enhancing mods to anyone with the PC version of Oblivion; In particular Natural Environments, Exnems HGEC female bodies (Or Universal Fantasy Figures for a scrawny look), Roberts Male Bodies, & the Unofficial Oblivion/Shiver Isles patch.

[ddogate]

he gives a good boy Frostwyrrn Bow

[ddogate]

i mean he gives a good Bow not boy

[Dempsey715]

In TES 3 Bloodmoon Expansion, theres a cave called Udyrfrykte. I belive thats where it's from?

[64DivinePoints]

You may very well be correct, Agnars Journal makes reference to one of the Uderfyrktes children attacking a mead hall in Solstheim. The matron moves from place to place, only recently crossing into Cyrodiil from Skyrim. (However my theory is the matron is a reference to the epic poem Beowulf, as Agnars journal is basically a summary of it). I have yet to get 100% into Morrowind, so Ill look into it the first chance I get.

[64DivinePoints]

Hey, I managed to track down all the places, and you're indeed correct. Agnar's journal is a retelling of the events of Bloodmoon in the tribe Thirsk, the Lair of Udyrfrykte is west from Thirsk, at Lake Fjalding. And the Udyrfrykte in Bloodmoon is the child of the one in Oblivion.

[grimace1995]

ok well since i went to dive rock and killed it i remeber now thanx!!

[brainsbeer5]

On UESP by any chance? That where i got all my info from.

P.S. Sorry I keep commenting it's just fun understanding this in a weird way... God I'm going mad.

[64DivinePoints]

Don't worry about it ^^; As to your question, no. If it isn't my own knowledge of the game it's either asking a friend or googling it. Though as this is one of my favorite side quests, I know the Udyrfrykte pretty well.

[darklink66612]

any one know were to fing amour like nights of the nine for 360 cuz i cant go to deepscorn hallow cuz my guy mrurderd a guy

[ryan10394]

oooh...thanks...but how do u start the shivering islses??? i downloaded it but i dont know wat to do now

[64DivinePoints]

Try sleeping or waiting for 24 hours after a few moments you should get a quest update telling you about a strange island & gate appearing in the Niben Bay. Also, make sure that the Shiver Isles expansion is enabled. To do this click Data Files from the disc menu & look for a file called DLCShiveringIsles.esm(Player File) & make sure the check box has an X on it.

[ryan10394]

oo..ok..thx

[Tonyrocks5]

do you have it on the 360?

[littlesongbird1]

Yes my bf and I have been tyring to look for it but even with following the book I can't find the journal that triggers it.

[64DivinePoints]

Are you talking about the shivering isles expansion or the creature from the video? There's no journal update for the Matron, it's a static spawn that will remain in place till you've killed it. As for the Shivering Isles it's as simple as making your character sleep or wait for 24 hours in or near Bravil (although I've gotten the journal update at random points/places, I believe it has to do with a cell reset being required which takes 2-3 in-game days.

[ryan10394]

1st...is there n e thing of importance with teh body parts?? and 2nd..is that armor also a mod?...it looks really kewl

[64DivinePoints]

Theres no real significance to the body parts, as far as I know there is no side-quest relating to the recovery of Svanas remains, just a neat Easter Egg item to display in your house. As to my armor, its the female Dark Seducer armor, you can obtain it by completing the Shivering Isles Quest The Helpless Army (You must follow the House of Mania path to receive the Seducer Reward, following House of Dementia will yield a reward of Golden Saint armor)

[Dodogong]

lolz ,spaced out troll

[yamahaR14life]

its not a mod u can find it on the 360

[Urameshii]

Why is it invisible?

When I found it it wasnt invisible at all it was just a normal troll but like 4x the size

[64DivinePoints]

It doesn't have any differentiation from a regular Troll if you have the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 version. They changed it to a transparent texture on the PC version, still has the same mesh however.

[Urameshii]

but I have the PC version and it wasnt transparent

kind of odd

[64DivinePoints]

That is odd. I've seen it the same way on 3 separate installs of Oblivion. Perhaps it's an overlap from one of the texture plug-ins I use. I currently have Unofficial Oblivion Patch, Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch, Unofficial KotN Patch, Quarl's Texture Pack, Natural Environments, anyone of these could be the reason that mine is transparent, however I know I'm not the only one that has found a transparent/invisible Matron.

[Urameshii]

Well I bought the game of the year edition a few months ago and the first time i installed it it worked fine but then my comp crashed and when i tried to reinstall it the second disc with the expansions wouldnt even read in my computer

[Kendallkip]

you didn't get the sheild thing down? wow. My fight was easy, and i can't get mods for ps3 (who doesnt know that though) and i was a pretty high level so it went above that level

[64DivinePoints]

I really dislike shields, I've been like that since Morrowind. Also, I don't typically fight with blades on my assassin, mostly stick with an Amber Bow, so don't expect much in terms of form & attack pattern. Mind if I ask your PC's Armor Rating, Modifiers (skill & attribute) & your weapon of choice.

[Foojack680]

Why dont you just get there and look at your map and show us you retard

[64DivinePoints]

If you are displeased with my video, then make your own. Obviously from your asinine remarks you believe that you can do better.

[zootdemon]

dose 360 have dificulty setting and were is it?

[kyle21843]

its not easy at all if ur around the same level and hav the game on normal setting..its hard as hell XD

[64DivinePoints]

Yeah, I commend anyone who can take down this beast on anything higher the 50% I find the game ridiculously hard for any class outside of magic users.

[TheJediKid]

hey guys Guess what I saw the udyrfrykte matron when he wasn't invisible on my xbox 360 ITS AMAZING he has 3 eyes

[64DivinePoints]

Yeah, the 360 & PS3 version of Udyrfrykte Matron wasn't much to look at, basically just a modified troll (a bit of a let down really) While the PC version is still essentially the same thing, at least they used some differentiation by making it semi-transparent. Out of the 2 versions, I'd say PC was the best.

[deadric72]

the udyrfrykte matron is a troll but jaust invasable.

[N11Ckk123472]

nice computer the graphic look amazing on yours.

[64DivinePoints]

Thanks, that was actually taken on 800 x 600 Res w/ no screen effects. I've gotten a new Video Card since then & run it on 1024 x 768 with HDR on, (also have "Natural Environments" mod which makes out door area's look absolutely amazing) it looks a lot better now then when that video was created.

[iceteafan2]

i was by the dive rock but i cant find the family i have only seen the thunder troll need help

[Kevinflu]

nice i just blew up that thing with a single spell lol

[64DivinePoints]

Yeah, Fire spells are just about instant kills on it. I find melee to be more interesting since it gives the opponent an equal opportunity.

[Kevinflu]

not for me i only have weak fire spells so i used alot of shock spells.. btw you make meele look easy XD

[50033836]

It's because he had the difficulty on the lowest setting, I'll bet.

[64DivinePoints]

I actually play at max difficulty, however for this video I had the difficulty turned down to around 65%. Melee gets rather annoying at max =\

[50033836]

If you downed that in 4 shots on 65%... well done!

[64DivinePoints]

Hahaha, Most of that is thanks to amulet of blades(reflect damage & magika 12%) & 2 rings that have reflect damage as well (In total it's about 42%) even though it's only minor damage when I block, it still brings on the hurt. In addition, my character is 33 in this video I believe, mastered Blade, and has around 72 Strength (100+ buffs on Agility & Speed). Well done for knowing your stats on Udyrfrykte though

[atreyufan447]

ofmg....this isnt a mod its 4 pc and xbox

loser

[64DivinePoints]

Perhaps you should read the whole description before you start mouthing off. If you actually did read the whole thing you would have seen that I didn't state "TES IV: Oblivion" was a mod, I stated the weapon I had used had modified textures/meshes.

[sk8teLife0923]

wow
