How to kill big blue Argonian appearance boss in Endless Archive?

I don't remember the name of it. Sorry.

My tank character is tough enough(can kill normal Sanity's Edge first boss by solo),
so could survive extremely strong explosion attack, then no problem.
But my arcanist healer couldn't survive and fail to save my DD partner.

If you're experienced player, please advice me.
I've never seen that one among the overland boss or 4 men dungeon.

can you describe the boss more?

i really can't remember ever seeing a big blue argonian. big argonians would be argonian behemoths but none of those are blue.

Did he have a large blue circle under him with smaller blue circles in it? I encountered that one tonight, it ended my run. I'm familiar with most DLC and WB bosses and I didn't recognize it or its mechanics.

is it Rakkhat?

Sounds more like Zhaj'hassa from Maw of Lorkhaj (who is a Khajiit, though) with the explosion. In the trial, this boss spawns pillars from the ground and eventually channels a one-shot explosion, which you need to avoid by hiding behind one of those pillars.

However, I've seen multiple reports on this forum that the boss is bugged. Apparently, sometimes the pillars don't protect you or don't spawn in the first place. Personally, I haven't experienced the bug myself though, so can't really comment on it.

On a different note, I would go with a tank and a somewhat tanky DD with self-heals and ideally Pale Order instead of an actual healer. It's better to focus adds and bosses on an actual tank than trying to outheal incoming damage aimed at a DD, especially on later arcs.

EDIT: But yeah, please include some more details instead of making everybody guess what you might mean

Zhaj'hassa is this boss below:

Well, I don't have any of Trial experience finished.
So I don't know most of Trial boss. It's time to lean Trial mech.

Yea, it's a imperial prison 4men dungeon last boss. Just jump in blue drop hole, then avoid massive damage.
(But suffer fall damage little bit)

By the way, Xynode YouTube channel is really good!

no Rakkhat is also from Maw of Lorkhaj.

Lord Warden Dusk who looks similar is the final boss of imperial city prison

Unless this is bugged as well, there actually are golden pads you can stand on to protect yourself from the boss’s “machine gun” attack. They are just not all visible from the start like in the trial but eventually spawn in.

Ah, no I know Lord Warden, it wasn't him it was Rakkhat.

Yeah, I did watch the video, very helpful. I did see the golden pads the next time (which was the next run, I'm not convinced about how random these bosses really are) but standing on the pads he knocked me off them to my death multiple times.

Did you block when he flaps his wings? In MoL trial, at least, you have to hold block when he flaps or you get knocked back (usually into the blue stuff that kills you).

I think I blocked, but there is a lot going on. So the red spheres are those the machine gun thing?

Machine gun is when Rakkhat stands still, holding both hands at you, and fires a series of blue spheres at you. You'll need to stand on the golden pad for that, to mitigate the damage. If he hovers briefly in the air, he's charging up a heavy attack. Block that.
