Nehrim:Sarantha
Description
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The first time when approaching her, she is a mysterious woman in the Shadow World. She provides you with much information about the structure of the world, and she urges you not to ask why she has told you all this, as it is incomprehensible for mortals.
Later, during the main quest At Fate's Edge, when you arrive at the battle arena, Sarantha will appear next to you and explain the nature of your true enemy, which was not the Light-Born, but it was she, Sarantha, Fate. She adds that your friends' deaths were not a coincidence, as they deserved it, daring to raise their fists against their destiny. She, Sarantha, is the one who controls everything, not only the mortals but the Light-Born as well. You could have defeated the gods and gone back to your castle satisfied, but it would be only an illusion, as she, fate, has always been your greatest enemy. And if you do even try to resist her, she will punish everyone.
Inventory
Sarantha wears an unplayable Magic Winds Robe (nothing to do with the Magic Wind set) and holds a two-handed sword, Grave Touch.
Location
Defeating Sarantha
Tackling Sarantha and her Double
During the main quest, Sarantha will become hostile and attack you. You will hear Narathzul Arantheal's voice saying that the book of predestination has been destroyed; that is why it is actually possible to defeat Sarantha, as now all of you are mere mortals. You have Arkt, who came to your aid, but Sarantha is a mighty boss; she has her double, so sometimes you will have two powerful enemies to deal with.
Tackling your Doppelanger
After some time, you will be teleported to a different place where you will get attacked by a person looking exactly like you. Defeat your doppelganger to move forward.
Avoiding Deadly Spiky Traps
When you are fighting against Sarantha alone in a circular place, take a look at the area. It is encircled by spiky traps and Sarantha uses from time to time a skill that thrusts you, and you fall to the ground. Do not let her throw you into the spiky traps, or else you will die instantly. At this point, Sarantha will not surprise you with anything new, so it is enough to simply drain her hit points by continuously attacking her.

Notes
- She does not have anything to pickpocket, and it is impossible to do so.
- She will be naked if you loot her.
- You can catch a glimpse of Sarantha at the beginning of Nehrim (the introduction), ensconced in her throne.
- In possibly a previous version, it was enough to hit your doppelganger once, and you would be transported back to the battleground with Sarantha. (Eaglebyrd May 2025: I have no way to verify this, as all versions I played require you to defeat your doppelganger to move forward)
- In Nehrim.esm, her name remains the same. This was changed in NehrimEnglish.esm, as it didn't make much sense for the player to automatically know of her name during a vision.
- She carries the same weapon, but they have different Editor IDs.
