    lol did it you need the pet you get to kill him and you interrupt him

    thanks anyway :smiley:
  • DylanCb16_ESO
    Yeah, and when the pet dies? nothing you can do. It also doesn't stun him for me.

    I'm having massive issues with this battle as well.

    I can't interrupt his spell. Won't work. I use the appropriate skill... but nada... he just keeps fully healing.

    Last time: I stood there beating him with my two swords for 3+ minutes, using every skill, buff, potion, ultimate, I could... still couldn't kill the bugger!

    Surely, it must be a bug. He's killed me 5 times now.

    I have a same problem. Just have to leave there because I could not kill her and she could not kill me. i fought about 20 min and my fingers start hurt so I decided to leave and come back later. Absolutely ridiculous she just keep healing her self.

    Just beat her 2 levels higher than she is and with my 2 handed axe. I just keep blocking her when she start heal her shelf and keep slashing with my axe.

    Same problem.

    She can't kill me (destro/resto sorc.) but she keeps healing back up to 100% every time she hits about 80% health. Can' interrupt with anything - she's invulnerable to CC.

    Even tried grouping for it but we all get our separate solo instances.

    Broken, IMHO.

    I had the same problem too. She just kept healing back to full health.

    I somehow managed to beat her though. As a sorcerer btw. Went into the fight with my two familiars and the flame atronach, and just kept spamming crystal blast. Doing that I got her health low enough to use mage's fury's extra effect and just spammed that. I was also using mana pots literally the moment the cooldown ended.

    Hope my experiences can help. And yes, the quest can use some improvements.

    Same problem. I am a templar and tried to use all the interrupt abilities I have, but no success.

    I gave up after about half an hour and several attempts with different skill setup. She heals every single time.

    I only managed to complete this quest in a group. You can do the quest in group. Just follow this step by step:
    1 - Just the party leader enter in instance
    2 - Wait till he/she tell that him/her is inside and the load screen finished
    3 - All other members of group: open the party screen (press "P"). Right click the party leader then choose the "Travel to Player" option. You will go to same instance of the party leader and will can do the boss together :)

    Worked for me.
  • misslexinub19_ESO
    Ugh - this was the final straw for me. Cancelled my sub after this was the 3rd forced solo instance in one day that's completely un-doable. And yes - diff tactics, rinse repeat. yada yada. I'd like to actually play - not spend 4 hours a day doing PC spec spreadsheets, wasting RL time I don't have only to end in a stalemate battle for 40 minutes - or get wiped by a boss that you cannot score any damage on, whether tanking, kiting, DPS, AOE - doesn't seem to matter how many ways I've tried some of these.. This 'game' ceased to be any actual fun at this point; I have a RL career - that's where I'd like to relegate my 'not fun' and 'work.' I don't mind some challenge - But this is feeling too much like a job not a game.
  • shamsb14a_ESO
    This fight is ridiculous. As soon as she gets to 80% she casts an uninterruptible heal. I spent 15 minutes attacking her and couldn't even make a dent.

    39 and still can't stop her from healing herself to 100%. It's almost enough to make me quit with this, the rest of the mandatory quest bugs, and zero communication from ZOS.

    That would be awesome if it would actually work. Every time I try to interrupt, whether it by spell effect or both mb's it doesn't stop her from healing up to 100%. Can't melee much with a destro and resto staves.

    Well, the problem is on your end, sitting in a guild with around 40 people with veteran ranks and all said they did exactly the same as me. No one in my guild has had any issues with that quest.

    Having the same problem. Flame atronach lasts few seconds but playing as a knightblade, DPS to low to finish him off. Tried to group with other players in ruins but no one would help. Quality of players in the game I guess.

    Well I guess your guild mates aren't set up for aoe dps and heals then using just staves. I can smoke quests 5-7 levels above me with no problem but a boss mechanic for a mob that's 7 levels below me turns into an infinite fight since nothing will interrupt the mob is a problem. The only time I have problems is when I have 6 more more mobs on me at once and my pot timer is down.

    Any good player levels 2 weapon skills. Don't blame us for being bad! I have staves and dual wield weapons.

    If you lose the fire elemental you can leave the room and come back inside. Just make sure that the bone guy is dead so that you don't have to fight him again and potentially lose the elemental before the boss fight. The elemental makes the fight much easier.

    You people are so freaking terrible at this game. Simply melee him, when he casts the healing spells "Hold Right-click + Click Left-click" to interrupt the heal and continue pummeling him. I killed him without the pet solo as a 35 DK. There are so many people that just SUCK at this game and immediately point to bugs and how bad the game is made. For me so far the game has had 0 bugs and is flawless, because I'm not stupid and I try more than 1 way of doing things.

    What part of "uninterruptible heal" don't you understand? Perhaps as melee, your interrupts work. As a sorc with a destro staff, mine don't.

    The "Hold Right-click + Click Left-click" thing works, but you have to be right up next to him. I am talking looking at the hair in his nostrils close here. As a Sorc with flame AOE and fireball, i was not to using close combat but this time it worked. Thanks, Tiburon.

    I just got to same part and could not complete because of the boss healing every three seconds. I run out of stamina interrupting so much and then she heals back to full life. I'm a caster class as well so I don't have any stamina. Its not possible. Nothing to do with not interrupting like some *** said because his friends all completed it. It must be a new bug with last patch. Impossible with my amount of stamina.

    this thread was helpful, ty. I ended up killing her quite quickly by getting up close and knocking her with my staff (left/right block move) every time she tried to heal. The fact that she doesn't hit very hard helps.
    This is all part of the game.
  • RickDangerous42
    Ok, I just had the same problem (note date of comment, patch 1.0.4 is on), dying dying dying, and the only thing that worked was close up melee and do interrupt repeatedly when she started to heal. That ended the fight in under 2mins.

    trying to do this quest in the Vet 4 version for DC and it's ridiculous to even try to solo. Flame Atronach goes down in like 3 hits from either of the NPCs, and cannot come anywhere close to enough damage to burn one of them down even with interrupts.

    haven't managed to get to just her ... it's the spawned elite ogre and she heals him up too fast. I agree with the comments about the solo dungeons being harder than they need to be. All I'm taking away from these is a pissed off attitude and either come back overlevelled or not at all. Was that what content designers wanted? Pissed off players? This has been going on since that first *** in Auridon...at Buraniim island.

    You need to interupt the heals, I managed it using sword and shield as templar.
    Hold right mouse and tap left to shield bash, you can literally melee him to death. Very easy doing it this way @33.
    None of my other interupt spells worked "target is too powerful" shield works fine!

    My story, I had no problems taking out the skeleton guy or the fatty. I killed the skeleton like any other mob, the Fat guy was bit more complex. Pull the fatty out to the main room, then she quits healing him. If the Atronach dies, run towards the exit, shell spawn and then you can go and try kill the fat guy if you cant get him down on your own. Then Cassia Varo. I run out of time and couldn't kill her. You have to sleep some before going to work. We fought for about 40 minutes and I tried to figure out how to stop her healing. We just went around the room, both full health and hitting each other. Like I said, I was not able to kill her but glad I found this poll, next time I'll know to time moving so that I'll be on melee range when she starts healing, then I'll interrupt her and continue range dps. Thanks all for sharing the ideas, those rage info's are so pathetic ( grow up and blow you nose!).

    I'm a Ranger using BOW usualy, but this boss and his minion killed in the following way: Pull back the BIG guy and kill it, the Boss is go back his place and wait. After the BIG guy dead, rest and melee to the hell him. Using dual wild swords (2 peaces) and every time hi cast his frost spell (red sparkling) and healing (yellow/golden sparkling) I interrupt it with Left + Right click at melee range. Don't waste stamina, keep it for the interrupt.

    This works fine Tiburon but frankly you don't need to be so aggressive against people trying to get help. That attitude is just pathetic and shows you have issues. I hope I won't cross your path ingame.

    I can confirm that interupting the heals works. Did it after many tries, it is actually pretty easy once you get it.
