Hmm, i thought it was just me. Of course i may just be unused to VR bosses after a prolonged time doing alts.

Falchu, of however you spell it, the werewolf boss from Glenumbra. I eventually took him down, but dear god...I assume that the fight was supposed to have some scripted events with fire falling down on him at stages. Well if that was/is the case, the game straight-up trolled me and only did it once. I was left to deal with him as i could.

I developed(quickly) a strat on my second try that worked. Was a mix of attrition, a quick ability bar loadout change(while running for my life), and admitted abuse of the fight area. Oh and the fact i had enough skill points in reserve to unlock the two skills that actually allowed me to slow this guy down(Silver Bolts and Skilled Tracker).

I really feel for any Nightblade that chooses to do this fight and isn't lvl 7 or better in the Fighter's Guild.

Final Ability Bar loadout:

1) Silver Bolts
2) Crippling Grasp(really a must for me as it does dmg and pretty much negates the snare debuf if you get hit)
3) Swallow Soul
4) Magnum Shot
5) Invigorating Drain
Ultimate) Devourering Swarm (though i think Soul Tether would have been the better choice thinking back)
