Beating the Monster Arena in Dragon Quest 8 can be tough. There are proper team comps you need to know to really stand a chance to beat every rank. This is a short Guide to show you what team comps work best in the Monster Arena.

First of all, here is a map of all Monsters you can capture in the game:

As you can see already on the map, is that some monsters only spawn if you defeat a certain rank. Some others only appear at day while others appear at night. Consult this map to see where to find the specific monsters.

Team: Hackzilla, Brickman, Potbelly

Explanation: In the early ranks you don't really need a team with a deathmove. Hackzilla will do most of the job as the monster is very tanky with low-level characters and has good damage output. Brickman is a good monster as well in the early game. Potbelly is also hard hitting and can be found early-mid game. Consult the map to find the monsters!

Explanation: These ranks become a bit more difficult since the monster rise in strength. There is nothing to worry about here though, since the ranks are still somewhat lightweight compared to Rank B and above. You can still manage to keep Hackzilla and Brickman but I would suggest to swap Potbelly with Talos. Talos is a very hard hitting Monster, is even more tanky than Hackzilla and it can attack twice per round.

Explanation: Now we have an interesting team. Octurion is a must octopus that knows&nbsp;Omniheal, which is very important from Rank B and above. The damage the enemy teams deal will be too much for your team to survive all 3 rounds without regaining health, so he's a must. Skeledoid can attack twice (just like Talos) and Talos will stay in your team since his base stats are very high. If you're lucky you can get by with this comp without relying on deathmove teams, because Talos can soak the damage while Octurion heals the entire team.

And there you have it! These monster should get you by and win the Monster Arena. Have fun!

Will probably help some people when looking to get into magic builds. The list has 2 sortings which for one is by level, and the other is by Magic type. This guide intended as reference to make better decisions when and what to skill. I also cleaned up the styling a bit and added comments to some sections to make it clearer what every symbol means.

The sorcerer is a straightforward Build with lots of flexible options mid combat. You can cast lots of different spells depending on what enemy you are facing. I highly recommend this build if you like to get into the complexities of the battle system since you get forced to combine your spells in different manners to achieve the maximum effect. This build scales well with Charisma!

Icewind Dale 2: Sorcerer Build

Decided to make this a somewhat weekly series, I'm gonna showcase some cool mods I have found on nexus mods for Skyrim in 2025. Hope you like the list!

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/119719">Nexus Mods</a>

You want cool river stones in the game? This mod gives you all. With Vanaheimer - River and Coast LE you will get new textures for the river and coast of those. Pretty nice stuff and looks natural even in vanilla.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/119758">Nexus Mods</a>

This mod is as straightforward as it can be. Medieval Iron Arrows and Quiver&nbsp;is a mod, that will retexture the standard iron arrows and quiver into a more medieval style from the 14-17th century. It's really a eyecatcher and very colorful if you ask me.

If you have read other guides from me, you know that I like the vanilla water of the game. With Skyrim Enhanced the game actually also changed the shaders and textures of the water a bit to make it seem more realistic. There are lots of water mods out there that change the style of the shaders, flow of current and other stuff but I do feel that the game only needs vanilla changes. That's what this mod does. Vanilla Water Reimagined upscales the textures and adds some tweaks to the reflections and sparks. Really all the game needs for water!

Trending Skyrim Mods in March 2025

Hello all. I'm back! Haven't had time recently to write articles but here I am again. Made a little list with mods I have been downloading and playing around with and I'd like to show you all what those are. Hope you enjoy this little list!

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/119682">Nexus Mods</a>

The first mod in the list is Draugr Warrior Armor. Pretty cool mod if you ask me. It adds a new piece of armor to the game which resembles something from a Draugr Endboss with epic fur at the bottom of the helmet. I like that the armor is blending nicely into the vanilla game since other armor pieces look a bit odd and too "clean".

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/119753">Nexus Mods</a>

Since we are talking about armor pieces - I have more. Ancient Imperial Armor adds armor pieces similar to the one of Oblivion guards. I always liked the look of the armor on the guards back then and I do like the implementation of this mod for Skyrim. Must download! Also don't forget to hit the endorsement button on the nexus page, the author deserves every acknowledgement from us.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/119716">Nexus Mods</a>

From Armor to Weapons: Everedge Sword adds a Sword to the game with very very sharp textures. It's legit crazy how sharp the sword is even if you look at it closely. It also has PBR like reflections but I'm unsure how the author has done it. Regardless cool looking sword and paired with the above Armor mods really something that looks natural.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/119743">Nexus Mods</a>

I have already covered <a href="https://playguide.gg/guide/best-skyrim-graphics-mods-you-need-to-download-right-now-top-5-list-40">snow in depth on some of my landscape posts</a> but it never hurts to have more mods than few right? If you dislike the snow I have talked about already, then Vanaheimr - Snow LE is the right Snow mod for you. It's more subtle than other mods I have seen in the wild and certainly really cool looking as well. Highly recommended if you like to keep more of the vanilla snow look in the game.

Best Skyrim Mods February 2025

Companions have somewhat of a interesting reputation in the game. A lot of people like them (Lydia) - others find them useless. In my opinon the companion system in vanilla could have been a tad better in terms of leveling since some companions become really useless at some point. But in the early to mid game they are quite useful for carrying items or helping in combat. You can even marry them.

But often I find myself abandonding companions due to AI problems or just the redundance when going into higher levels. I have some mods I'd like to showcase that might help mitigate that problem. Besides those I also have some new companions installed that I like to show aswell.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14037">Nexus Mods</a>

The start makes UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul. This is a pretty good mod and a must have if you want to add new features to your companions. For instance, you can have up to 15 Followers, Level Up your followers (very important in later stages) and also your followers can ride a horse. The mod has many more features which come in very handy if you really like to have a management system.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50698">Nexus Mods</a>

Next up is Tame the Beasts of Skyrim 2 which is a much needed mod if you ever had the idea to tame beats as followers. The mod goes beyond than just allowing you to tame all creatures/beats in the game, no you can even train them to make them stronger for later stages. It's pretty cool to think that you can also control a dragon as your pet/follower. Much recommended if you need something new.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40960">Nexus Mods</a>

The last mod in the last is something that has such a big follower base (4k discord members) that it has to be mentioned.&nbsp; Inigo is a companion mod which adds a fully voiced, with unique dialogues, Khajit into the game. There is so much information around this companion that it's hard to condense everything into a simple post like this. I recommend to have a look at the <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40960">nexus page and make an opinion yourself</a> about him. Personally I don't use him as a mod (I'm not the most avid companion player) but I'm sure he will find his place within companion-friendly players.

Interesting Companion Mods for Skyrim

Rogues share little in common with each other. Some are stealthy thieves. Others are silver-tongued tricksters. Still others are scouts, infiltrators, spies, diplomats, or thugs. What they share is versatility, adaptability, and resourcefulness. In general, rogues are skilled at getting what others don't want them to get: entrance to a locked treasure vault, safe passage past a deadly trap, secret battle plans, a guard's trust, or some random person's pocket money.

The build is meant to be a fun build since Rogues aren't that powerful in Icewind Dale 2 unfortunately.

The stats revolve around Dexterity and Intelligence since those stats scale best with your skills.

You'll go with Rogue every level obviously. At the end, 9 different skills at your disposal. That means, that you should make use of them all.

As already hinted, the rogue has some flaws which makes the class worse than other classes in the game:

Most glaring problem is the INT focus on the build in my opinion. There is no justification to spent more points into Dexterity since the Rogue doesn't have unique features in their kit that scale well with DEX. Which means that ironically Sorcerer builds can match the damage output by just sub-classing Rogue for couple of levels.

Icewind Dale 2 Tiefling Rogue Build

The Barbarian class is quite special. Barbarians moves fast, much faster than normal characters. They cannot be flanked. They ahve the ability to Rage once per day every 4 levels (starting with one use at first level), which becomes a Greater Rage at 15th level. They gain the ability to resist damage at 11th level and the ability every 4 levels thereafter.

This build focuses primarily on using the Massive Halberd of Hate as main damage source while Greater Rage is activated.

(1) Polearm focus because the Massive Halberd of Hate is a guaranteed find. Wielding this item will give you immense power in fights. In case you find the Massive Greataxe of Flame, then resort to greataxe feat.

The build is pretty straighforward with emphasis on Polearm due to Massive Halberd of Hate. Obviously you will want to improve strength stats as that's the primary scaling factor for your damage.

DR (Damage Reduction) seems to be doubled for ranged weapons. For example, at DR1 the Barbarian resists 2 points of damage from a bullet fired from a sling, but only one point of damage from a hit from a quarterstaff (both bullet and staff inflict bludgeoning damage). Indeed, at DR1 Barbs resist 2 points of piercing damage from arrows fired from bows, too. Thus, at DR6, Barbs are resisting 12 dmg from projectiles. DR from the magical hide armors stack with Barb DR as well:&nbsp;Abishai Hide Armor IWD2. Assuming equal to or less than +2 enchantment, this allows Barb to resist 16 slashing dmg per hit and&nbsp;22&nbsp;piercing dmg per hit, for example.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Icewind Dale 2 Barbarian Build

The only Animation Mod you will need for Skyrim

I know this title sounds clickbait but I'm real here. I found the only animation mod you will ever need for Skyrim and it's beautiful. Let me give you a hint: Ragdolls

But Skyrim has a death system which rolls randomly how the model is going to react on death. Often times, it rolls for the spinning death animation which takes the fun out a bit when killing an enemy. Enter No Spinning Death Animation

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1432">Nexus Mods</a>

This mod remedies our every need to see more ragdolls. It gets rid of the spinning death animation which means, it's the mod you need to download right now. Honestly I wouldn't mind to see the spinning death animation sometimes but at the current rate, it's too much. Perhaps there is a mod out there that tunes down the rate?

To pair this, I recommend the Realistic Ragdolls &amp; Force Mod

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1439">Nexus Mods</a>

Honestly I don't feel like that Skyrim needs more "realism" with the ragdolls. There are pretty accurate already and changing every aspect in the game is not something I support. But the videos on the mod page and a <a href="https://i.imgur.com/CTVHEqX.mp4">particular video</a> convinced me. Again, nothing wrong with vanilla but if you have spare performance after the <a href="https://playguide.gg/guide/landscape-mods-for-skyrim-44">many mods I already wrote about</a>, you can give this one a try aswell.

The only Animation Mod you will ever need for Skyrim

Ever looking for landscape mods in Skyrim? Here are some mods showcased that might be worth looking into. For sure there are many popular ones that I have already show cased in my other posts, but I haven't touched on the lesser known ones!

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/50961">Nexus Mods</a>

This mod has the simple aim to just re-texture trees in Skyrim but without costing reducing performance by like 50%. The creator writes: "I measured an impact of 5 FPS with a disabled FPS limit on my GTX 970. Which is pretty pleasant result."&nbsp; Which is a pretty good result in my opinion. The textures might look a bit too "clean" but that's personal preference again.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/94462">Nexus Mods</a>

Ever wanted a different feeling for the forest in Skyrim? This mod gives you exactly that. With Fable Forests, you can basically change the look and feel of the game entirely. More dense trees, more trees and more of everything regarding forests. There are many options to choose from and the creator claims that the mod isn't taking big hit on performance. Personally, I like the look!

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/98552">Nexus Mods</a>

Now we're getting into territory where one might think that we're going back to Oblivion! If you dislike the whitish look of Skyrim (fair), then this mod is for you. Skyland - Green Tunda gives you what some might miss in the game: more Green.

The creator said that the mod was asked for a lot so he took matters into his/her own hands and delievered here. Head over to the <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/98552">Nexus page</a> and have a look yourself if you like to give it a go!

Landscape Mods for Skyrim

Skyrim Graphic Mods You need Right now - Part 2

Skyrim is still a game played by many people. In fact, over 30,000 people play it everyday on average. This is part 2 of the graphics mod series. If you like to view my first guide, you can <a href="https://playguide.gg/guide/best-skyrim-graphics-mods-you-need-to-download-right-now-top-5-list-40">click here</a>. Without further ado, let's get to it!

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2424">Nexus Mods</a>

Enhanced Lights and FX has the simple goal to place light sources in a more realism manner like in the sky or a light object source like the sun, to create a more realistic mood in the game. If you take close looks in the vanilla game you will notice that some lighting in the game comes from places where there is not light source or it's just way to bright. This mod addresses this problem by really trying to mimick real-life and not overly illuminating places in the game.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/5870">Nexus Mods</a>

This mod fixes UV mapping errors mostly found in dungeons but also sometimes in other areas of the game. It's kind of like Static Mesh improver since that mod improves both the meshes &amp; textures but this mod focuses more on the dungeons. It's sometimes very subtle and you have to look into details of objects (most of the time you filter UV bugs in your brain) so it's not a must. I think however that it goes hand in hand with Static Mesh Improver and should be used as an addition. Never hurts to fix some (UV) bugs right?

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/21423">Nexus Mods</a>

Noble Skyrim Mod HD-2K rextures and changes the architecture of buildings in the game. It also touches land, mountains, hills and generally everything around the cities. It's again very subtle like the other mods and you can only feel the weight if you look into details. Personally I'm a details person so for me this mod adds more immersion. However one should not overdo some of the mods I've already listed since some can hurt the "usability" of the game so to speak.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2182">Nexus Mods</a>

You like good looking water? This mod is for you. Honestly I already like the current flow-based water in the game (Special Edition) but if you like more realistic details, then this mod is exactly what you want. For instance, the flow-based system in Special Edition is applied everywhere, which is physically speaking wrong. It makes some lakes or ponds look weird because the water still has some kind of current even though, there is no "source" where the water is coming from. Besides, the mesh gets improved as well which is also nice.

Best Skyrim Graphics Mods You need to Download right now  - Part 2

You like to play mages in Skyrim? Good! I do too. For that reason, magic mods are a must in my opinion. Here are my personal mods I currently use in my Skyrim config and maybe you'll be convinced to try them out too :)

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1090">Nexus Mods</a>

First up in the list is the mighty Apocalypse. I like this mod alot (hence the first entry) since it stays true to the vanilla nature of the game. I'm a firm believer that the game only needs a few mods to make it a even better playground and this mod really hits it home. You'll get 155 new spells which have unique properties and are balanced around the vanilla spell system. I encourage you to give it a go!

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/27839">Nexus Mods</a>

Mysticism is a mod which overhauls the vanilla Skyrim spell system by re-balancing existing spells while also adding new ones. It's aim is to fill gaps in the current system to ensure, that every spell path has good progression towards mastery. Just like Apocalypse, this mod is aimed to use the existing vanilla system and extend it's potential to it's fullest. Highly recommened again, if you like to stay vanilla.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/7037">Nexus Mods</a>

This mod is pretty simple but yet so effective: It adds new visuals to enchanted weapons. Technically not a mod made for spell casters but it's a nice detail that gives magical things in Skyrim more weight &amp; believability. Personally I dislike enchanting but if enemies use a weapon which have a enchanting effect on them, I still see the mod in action and that's good enough for me.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/109414">Nexus Mods</a>

This mod is more personal preference than anything. It adds new visuals to fire spells like more bloom, higher textures and a "warping effect" when casting. I have to admit that I'm not a friend of Bloom effects and this mod has plenty of that but the effects look a lot more cinematic and higher textures are usaully always a better thing. 

It might make other spells look a bit odd though, since the mod only applies to fire/flame spells. If you like to get the "entire package" for destruction spells, you would also need to download the <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/112509">VFX Frost Edit</a> and <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/124520">VFX Lightning Edit</a>&nbsp;aswell. As always, try them out and see if you like it!

Skyrim Magic Mods 2025 List

If you ever played Skyrim to it's fullest, you probably noticed that some gameplay mechanics can be daunting or downright annoying. I feel the same and there are many mods to help with that. I'd like to showcase some of them here which I think are really essentials you need right now! The first in the list will probably trigger flashbacks for some ...

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/684">Nexus Mods</a>

The Stones are a running gag in the community and rightfully so: There are a total of 24 of them and you need to find all of them to complete a quest. Unforunately there are no hints or quest markers so trying to find them is painful if you have less than 8 hours are day to play this game. This mod simply adds markers where you can find them in Skyrim. Very simple - yet very effective! Download right now.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1525">Nexus Mods</a>

This mod is really really cool and a wish for many Skyrim fans since the release of the game. It adds a multiplayer component to the game in which (with some setup) you can explore &amp; quest the game together with your friends. The mod is WIP but is fully functional for many aspects like questing together, synchronzed combat and sharing items with other players. It will only become better in the future so highly recommended to give it a go!

Hard to show with pure images but this mod is something else. Combat Evolved changes the combat system for Skyrim entirely: It changes the behaviour of the AI like forcing the enemy to circle you if they outnumber you or straight up hit harder. It's kinda like making the game more unforgiving for actions that should be punished really like storming into a group of bandits and not getting a scratch.

It's a mod that isn't everyones cup of tea but would still encourage you to give it a try. After all every mod is free!

4. Skyrim's Got Talent - Improve As A Bard

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/50357">Nexus Mods</a>

Probably very known that you can play songs with certain instruments into the game but apart from that there isn't much use to them. This mod fixes this! If you play an instrument you start to level up your Bard skills and at some point you will receive a Buff from that. NPC's also react to songs you play &amp; finish so it's a nice addition to the instruments you find throughout your playthrough.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/97253">Nexus Mods</a>

I never would have thought that we get a mod where we can finally climb in a cool way in Skyrim. It's really just baffling &amp; amazing. I really urge to try this out, it's already alot of fun to climb mountains the and the such in vanilla but with this mod it reaches the next level.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2003">Nexus Mods</a>

This is more like a personal dispute with myself and the game mechanics. At some point you realize that using a horse is somewhat useless or impractical compared to just fast travel and simply running to your target if it's in reach. This mod gives a reason to use your horse more and I love it! It's so simple yet to effective that it changes some numbers to make them more practical:

Sounds simple enough but it really makes a difference. If you like exploring the game without fast travel then you should look into this mod!

Essential Gameplay Mods You need in Skyrim right now

Skyrim is still a game played by many people. In fact, over 30,000 people play it everyday on average. No wonder that the mod community is still very big on this game. Still to this day, many mods get released everyday and to be honest, it's not going to slow down. Long term the data on Steam charts shows, that the playerbase is growing ... for a game from 2011!

That's why I thought: Why not make a little list with cool graphic mods you can have a look and download?

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2347">Nexus Mods</a>

Let's start with a bomb. This mod speaks for itself to be real. You get lots of detailed and crisp textures for as little as a press of a button. Above you can see the product you get - for free! I mean it's really crazy. The amount of detail in these textures is beyond imagination. It's highly recommended.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/80286">Nexus Mods</a>

This one is also very cool. The snow in vanilla Skyrim is actually not bad I gotta say that after 14 years the snow would need an upgrade. I can think of this mod because it allows the snow to have some depth. That's very unique but gives a greater sense of realism without much changes elsewhere.

3. Skurkbro's Retexture Project Landscapes

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/68350">Nexus Mods</a>

This mod has many facets. It retextures entire objects in the landscape like grass, ice, rocks etc. and is a nice combination with Skyrim 202X by Pfuscher. Highly recommended if your PC has spare VRAM left lol.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/11052">Nexus Mods</a>

Next up in the List is a mod called "Majestic Mountains". This mod basically completely revamps the mountains in the game by placing the Lighting in more natural way to cast more natural shadows, revamps the textures etc. It's a pretty cool mod and and good addition to the other mods already mentioned. I'm not sure if the performance at this point will already drop into Oblivion (pun intented) but you only know if you find out.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/8834">Nexus Mods</a>

You read that right. R O A D S. This mod adds fine details to roads to make them appear more naturally blended in with the environment. It's hard to explain, you best look at the picture and judge for yourself. Not a must have but it's something that adds to the immersion a bit and more immersion is better than the same immersion ...

Best Skyrim Graphics Mods You need to Download right now (Top 5 List)

The best Skyrim mods can be tough to find when there are over 72,000 of them on Nexus Mods and more than 27,000 on the Steam Workshop. There are so many that at this point if you can imagine it there's probably a mod for it—as well as plenty of things you would rather not imagine. From interface tweaks to entirely new campaigns, fully voiced companions, and of course ridiculous memes, it's all out there. Some of it is very out there.
