I agree. This fight is difficult for some of my characters and having to reset to the beginning makes it more than a little frustrating.

This fight is giving me flashbacks to how difficult story bosses were at launch and it sometimes taking days to defeat one. I hope this trend doesn't continue.

I have to disagree very hard this fight was as easy as always, pretty fast done like all the chapter boss fights befor. It’s like every chapter boss , they are way to easy for a chapter boss in my opinion. They should not necessarily take longer, but at least you should have a risk of dying.

This all depends on your character level, gear that you carry and build in general.

Some guys out there simply don't have tons of years of experience on how to create a good and survivable build at any stage of character development.

Some might come to that point at pretty low level as they concentrated on this story quest leaving out all other side quests with a fresh toon.

I think it is one of the issues that certain stry endbosses for which the final confrontation you cannot postpone without starting all over again so little scale with player level.

Ok yeah it might be a bit tuffer if you completely new in the game , i agree on that . But that’s no the player , no ? I mean in pretty much any game out there you as a player need to figure out how something goes. At least in the mmo I know. It’s a natural progression of the player I would even say . And even with my low level toons I can butcher this bosses. We have so much mythic s and the arcanist that make playing the game more easy I really don’t think something in the game should be even easier as it is now . But I guess that’s bin discussed over and over again on the forums. It’s just not easy to bring so different skill levels together , where both are happy .

Well then it’s my bad that I misunderstood it.

I'd remove the spoiler from the title if I were you. Change it to something like Frustrating Final Storyline Boss Fight

To be clear, my point was not the difficulty of the stages. It was the reset to the beginning regardless of what stage the character had reached when he died.

I think the OP's suggestion is a good one. I can definitely see that fight being frustrating for lower leveled characters.

As a less than perfect fighter, I found the Torvesard fight very frustrating, as dying at any stage returned my character to the beginning point to repeat each stage (in slightly shorter versions.) I think it would have been reasonable to have the character restart the stage where he died and revived. After multiple attempts, I got to the last stage and had almost completed it when I failed to dodge quickly enough to miss a fatal blast.

My friend, for every casual player with NO veteran character with a very good/best end-game build and/or NO fast reflexes from hours and hours of experience, you will always find 10 hardcore players saying "oh, for me Tovesard was too easy! It is very fast to defeat".

Very few players understand that personal experience in ESO is not the same for eveyone. And casual players suffer most, cause there is NO Boss adaptation to player capacity or resources.

I have to agree with the OP. I have played a little over a month and are level 50 CP180. I am still experimenting with gear setup and have never been near a dungeon, trial, arena or world boss.

I somehow managed the Verminia fight in the Necrom/Apocrypha zone story - but today I gave up after having died for the 15. time and have to start all over again. I was also booted from the EU xbox server, which didn't help my frustration.

So I would also have expected some sort of "help" to be able to finish this, it was a quest starter for me and it is way too hard. It would be a good solution to continue from when you died and perhaps the reward could be scaled down on the quest starters, so that they are managable for noobie solo players who relies on some internet gurus build suggestions.

And I admit I have absolutely no idea as to what is going on in this fight. Why is my bar greyed out ? Why is Leramils voice almost impossible to hear ? Why am I suddenly completely encased in glass ?

I do get that this is a game designed for groups and not for solo players, and even though there are a lot of websites claiming that you can easily solo this game - you just have to have a lot of monster sets - it is obviously not that easy to solo.

I was hoping UESP had some details about the battle, it’s been years since I did this but I will try to go from memory.

I think in that fight the boss used a negate, which is the bubble around you. It prevents you from using any magicka skills. Just move outside the bubble. There were also cases where you needed to use the sword (I forget the name, the one you got that lets you open portals) on enemies to progress. Also if the boss’s health bar changes from red to a gold metal color, he cannot be damaged and you need to concentrate on other enemies in the area. I think this was mainly where the sword/portal mechanic was needed. There were lots of times when you had to use a portal from Leremil to help one ally or another, the npc will tell you when you need to do so.

I don't know...I think there’s a lack of basic understanding here. If you take the time to learn the game's basic mechanics (blocking, dodging, not standing in AoE areas, etc.), use the right buff food, and equip gear appropriate for your level and class, a quest boss shouldn't pose any difficulty.

That aside, I have to agree. The fact that the entire fight resets to the beginning after you die is really frustrating.

But of course, these kinds of fights (quest bosses) are meant to help you learn the important mechanics of the game so you’ll be prepared for more challenging content.

Even though it can be frustrating, you should think of it as a tutorial. Just keep practicing. With the right approach, you’ll get the hang of it. Practice makes perfect.

Btw, the default color for enemy areas in the game can be customized. Set it to something very bright, like bright pink or light blue. That way, these AoEs will be much easier to see. Many players don't even know this. And you can also customize the key binding to something that is convenient for you. Especially bar swap button. I have my bar swap on my mouse. This makes barswapping super easy for me.

If, for health reasons, players are unable to press too many buttons, they can use a 1 bar HA build and still deal good damage.
With the Oakensoul Ring, you'll be very well prepared for solo content.
