Vampire Darkblade

Vampire Darkblades are vampires members of the Gray Host found in Western Skyrim and The Reach. Darkblades can also be encountered with Vampire Fearmongers as they argue about their captive.

Skills and Abilities

Quick Strike

A basic melee attack that does minor physical damage.

Veiled Strike

The enemy cloaks, becoming untargetable by most attacks, and prepares to slash the target. This attack does moderate physical damage and will stun the target briefly. This attack can be blocked to set the enemy off balance.

Teleport Strike

When standing further away from them, the enemy teleports and stabs the target. This attack does moderate physical damage and stuns the target briefly.

Roll Dodge

The enemy can roll dodge to avoid attacks.

Drain Essence

The enemy drains your life force, dealing high magic damage and restoring its health every 1 second for 3 seconds. You must break free from this ability.

Bat Ambush

The enemy teleports into a swarm of bats to the player. This attack does moderate magic damage and knocks down the player briefly.

Red Breath

The enemy sprays a red mist in a cone in front of itself dealing moderate magic damage and knocking down any targets hit by it.

Summon Bound Hemoptera

The enemy summons a Bound Hemoptera, which channels a buff on their summoner that causes them to do twice the damage and take less damage. If the Hemoptera is interrupted, it becomes an Unbound Hemoptera. They will be rebound to their summoner after a few seconds.

Sacrifice Hemoptera

The enemy can destroy its Hemoptera to heal itself.

Dialogue

When encountered you can overhear them talking with a Fearmonger and accompanied by a Death Hound. They will have a captive they intend on feeding on:

Vampire Fearmonger: "Hmm. This one is so very thirsty … can we drink from him yet?"

Captive: "No, please don't! I'm not any good!"

Vampire Darkblade: "Not too much. We need him alive to be harrowed."

Vampire Fearmonger: "Just a taste, then."

Vampire Fearmonger: "Enough screaming! This one thinks we should just kill him now."

Vampire Darkblade: "Perhaps we should feed him to the dog."

Vampire Fearmonger: "Oh, yes. What a lovely idea."

Vampire Darkblade: "No one is coming to save you, fool."

Vampire Fearmonger: "Oh, this one will save him."

You can also find Darkblades and Fearmongers during encounters where the Darkblade is feasting upon an incapacitated Victim. A Fearmonger and a Vampiric Kagouti will spawn when the Darkblade enters combat.

Vampire Darkblade: "At last, a private meal."

Vampire Fearmonger: "Not sharing, are we? How unkind."

Vampire Darkblade: "Mmmm, this one looks delicious."

Vampire Darkblade: "Just a taste for now."

Vampire Shadowcaster: "Dryskin, we feed together."

Vampire Darkblade: "At last, a private meal."

Vampire Darkblade: "Mmmm, this one looks delicious."

Vampire Fearmonger: "I do hope you intend to share."

Vampire Fearmonger: "I just hope the blood's not polluted with mead."

Vampire Darkblade: "You couldn't wait?"

If you're in the wilderness in other zones, you may be subjected by an ambush by vampires:

Vampire Shadowcaster: "What luck…fresh blood!"

Vampire Darkblade: "Am I too late?"
