If you haven't already, join the Undaunted and finish their quest to get the basin that increases your HP recovery, then place it between you and the ally mage to heal both of you. While she's alive, this splits zomibe attention between you and her.

This fight is straight forward.

He has a large ground based aoe that expands out from him. Get out of that.

After that the mage tells you to stand in the light. You will see circles of light on the ground. You have a few seconds to get into the circle to avoid his insta kill ability. Being in the circle will keep you safe and heal you if I remember correctly.

This repeats until you kill him.

Kill the zombies as they come out. The boss doesn't really hit all that hard but the zombies will overwhelm you.

As with most of these boss fights it's an endurance battle. It helps greatly to weapon swap to resto staff during the fight and keep a hot running. That will give you some breathing room.

wait till your level 30 come back and one hit the b!tch

yeah. only that the zombies in VR content swarm you before you have any chance of killing them

This is ridiculous in VR content with a 1H/Shield tank. The zombies don't die quickly and they swarm.

I have a hard time doing this. I am red/green colour blind and I cannot see the red AOE on the floor at all and eventually it kills me.

that doesn't affect us

I can only comment on the non VR encounter. I found it hard and frustrating at first only because I had not understood the mechanics. Once I realised that the zombies were the priority and I had to get into the light it was all fine.

The Fighters Guild silver bolt attack practically one shots the zombies and therefore you have plenty of time to to get more damage on Angof.

I admit that this guy was a bit tough to take down in VR content with sword/shield. The strategy I used to finally beat him was to start by ranging him and moving around so that the NPC mage chick got his attention when my HP was low. When he spawned zombies, I again moved away from him, switched to sword/shield and focused only on taking them out. Then I switched back to bow when they were all dead - rinse and repeat.

Fight him conservatively, avoid AoEs, hang around in the lights, and you'll finish this boss off in no time.

Kill the zombies. Your chances to damage Angof are few and far between so you might as well kill the zombies. It helps. When you can attack Angof, attack him. I found that keeping the woman between me and Angof worked... and killing the zombies so they don't bother the woman worked. The fight was long but he eventually died.

Oh, and tell your wife that nearly everyone celebrates killing that giant vine planting ass.

I will now provide you with the ultimate means of defeating him. Bring friends with you. This is not, as far as I know, a forced solo fight. You can group up on him. Maybe not the ideal solution, but it's what I would do. That, or out-level him by 4-5 levels and come back. Bosses like this are all about the mechanics. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, the mechanics are just going to get you every time. I've run across a couple of bosses like this. They present a mechanical nightmare that some people are just physically incapable of overcoming. There is nothing wrong with that. At all. It just happens sometimes. Maybe it shouldn't, but it does. It sucks that it happens, but at least you can go get help.

As to the color blindness issue. My cousin had this problem in a number of games. Most recently, he had to deal with it in ESO, GW2 and Wildstar, which use similar ability telegraph mechanics. He found an interesting way around it. He started adjusting the colors on his monitor. He just messed with the settings until he found a color scheme that allowed him to see the ability telegraph on the ground despite not being able to see the original color in which they appear. You might want to try that. Just remember the original settings so you can put it back when you no longer need it. He forgot his original settings and couldn't re-set them. It took him a second to understand why we were laughing.

It's not our fault the T-rex was bright orange. Not our fault at all.

I did this as a level 13 sorcerer, leather armor. First try. And I'm not particularly good at boss battles.

How? I think I stumbled on the trick -- by pure accident, mind you. All I did was keep on summoning Clannfear. They rush Angof, keep him busy, and allow you to get rid of the zombies and then wear Angof down. He kills one, send another. They aren't that expensive, and Angof takes a while to kill them. The zombies usually don't help him; they're too busy trying to get me.

Then, when it was time to say good-bye, I plopped a conjured Storm Atronach down right in his face. He lasted perhaps two minutes.

The thing that came closest to killing me, as a relatively low-level figure, was Angof's damned birdies. I was glad I had reinforced my health rather than my magicka before starting out. (And will someone please remind Zenimax of what "clipping" means? Having projectiles sail right through six feet of stone is a very cheap shot, and I'm not talking about money.)

I can only imagine how easy the fight would have been if my sorcerer had been able to summon Winged Twilights as well. I don't like the fact that these fights so often hinge on some sort of gimmick, but I am glad when I stumble across said gimmicks!
