[Infinite Archive] Baron Zaudrus not tauntable?

So I don't have many issues with IA bosses, thanks to my Companion who is built to be a tank and taunts them.
Still a challenge, but at least I don't have to play Ring Round o' Roses, while also trying to stay alive.
He can even do Marauders...should he taunt them among the swarm of other enemies.
But whenever I get Zaudrus as a boss, either my Companion doesn't taunt him, or he is unable to taunt him.
I use the same companion on all of characters that I go IA farm with, and the repro rate is like 100%.
So a question is, can Zaudrus be taunted?
And what's the best way to deal with him if not?
Regardless of my class, I run healer-dps build - which works for me as long as the bosses focus their attention on my Companion, and doesn't have quirky mechanics that require more than one person.
My Templar seems to do better in the IA since he is damage shield focused.
I can defeat Zaudrus if lucky with verses and visions, mostly if I get those giving DoT bonuses.

✭✭✭I have only been able to "taunt" him when I have the verse that give you the green eye thing that distracts the enemies. He ignores my companion entirely, which is unlike other bosses in IA1 -

Hm. Weird. Is it a bug or something?
Possible bug?
I havent got a chance to get the Eye verse for his fight.0 -
BasP✭✭✭✭✭Yeah, it is a known bug that affects Marauder Gothmau and Baron Zaudrus: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/668300/marauder-gothmau-is-bugged-with-companions/p1
ZOS is apparently working on a fix for it.2 -

And here I just got a Zaudrus fight with the eye and he completely ignored it. Seems like he's unpredictable with his tauntability.Still waiting for answers about class set aura behavior, and also hoping that one day hair dyeing will be an option. We know it's canon thanks to a book in the Manor of Masques! (House of Reveries: The Troupe)

That's weird, because it worked for me.
I'm not at all surprised, though. The last 2 runs I begrudgingly did in IA (farming the last lead to the Ayleid King mythic) my bash for interrupt did not work. At all. Blocking was also pointless as it dropped every time. These problems with IA, beyond the horrendous repetitive boredom, make me hate IA0
