How do I defeat faolchu the werewolf solo?

Shadrir

Hi, Im at the end of the Faolchu quest and I have fought him in the solo keep(?) about 10 times and lost every time. I'm a lvl 13 stamina sorcerer. I used my pet and dpsed him but it didn't work. I unloaded Overload on him twice and it didn't kill him. I realize he is weak to fire so when it falls I unload everything I have on him but it doesn't take him down. I've tried running through fire after and it stuns him but I can never do enough damage no matter if I use my bow, overload, or melee him. What am I doing wrong?

Hm.. Got the poison DoT? What platform and server you on?

There should be multiple fires burning around the room you are fighting in. You basically just have to kite him into those fires, then dps him while he is weakened by the fire. For a time after he enters a fire he is extremely vulnerable and should go down pretty quickly.

Yer, beat him up a bit whilst making him chase you through the burning debris

If you play a melee build, he can be difficult. Fires will spring up in the room, bring him into them and damage him while he is bruning. Have a heal or defensive skill while he is not in them. You need to block or dodge his attacks.

Drag him through the burning fire piles and you may want to consider using a resto staff on second hot bar. When you get low on health pop healing ward. your troubles may indicate that being a stamina sorc might be a bit to challenging for you. Switch to a range magicka build using destruction/resto staff and problem solved.

Thx for the advice. I went back in with my bow and Overload and killed him pathetically easy by running him through the fire. Now I'm embarrassed

To be fair too, the fire doesn't just make it easier, it makes killing him possible. Meaning outside the fires, he's coded to be unkillable so if you miss that mechanic you are just out of luck entirely.
