What's the hardest hitting boss in game?

tunepunk

Just curious what's highest amount of Damage delivered in 1 shot by any boss. Highest number I've seen so far was 28K, but i haven't done an awful lot of group content. What's the hardest you've been hit for?

Wollust

A few 100k by Rakkhat I guess

LadyNalcarya

Serpents World Shaper and Rakkhats machine gun attack (outside the yellow circle) most likely. Both hit for 100+k.
But youre not supposed to tank those XD

JamieAubrey

I don't want to know, wouldn't like to be hit by it

code65536

Outside of trials, probably Selene's bear attack. Which, ironically, is why you don't need a tank for Selene (just someone with a taunt to turn her away from the group) because her only dangerous attack can't be tanked (must be sidestepped) and everything else she does will barely scratch you.

Edit: Oh, and Planar Inhibitor's blue phase and Lord Warden's Darklight Burst, though like all the examples mentioned so far, those are intended as mechanical 1-shots.

There was a nightblade in Cyro that hit me so hard somebody on my friends list died.

Callous2208

RnG monster. 100k hits. Unblockable. Can't be dodged.

Planar Inhibitor is manageable. Me and quite a few people even soloed this boss.
Though Lord Warden's burst is indeed a one shot. I never tried it to be honest. I know, that you can survive the Atronach explosions from Molag Kena, who are also supposed to one shot.

@ZOS_Finn Thanks

@Nifty2g Teach me sensei.

Hardest I got hit for was "only" 528k.

They should reword that Death Recap Hint to "Many of Rakkhat's attacks are Overkill..."

When Ms Bandu's minion chain you and stab you, how much damage does it do?

Or to say you need to spend magicka on skills so you are more effective in battle.
Also, against tough opponents bring some friends.
So much BS in recap notes..

TBH, I haven't read the death recap hints since... forever. I'm kinda surprised that there's actually a relevant and useful hint here.

that pic was from when we had our first time in vmol, usually players read them for ideas on the mechanics

Paneross

Destro Ult for sure.

THEDKEXPERIENCE

Fall damage boss is no joke, but that loading screen boss is sometimes unbeatable.

Side note ... why is Molag Bal such a pushover? Can't we recalibrate this guy to 100,000,000 HP or something?

I understand that we are (spoiler'd) to his (redacted) by (spoiler) at the (spoiler) of the main quest, and that thing in the sewer is only his (redacted) but c'mon.

Can't we get a good old fashioned human vs dreadric prince battle in Vvardenfell or something? It should only be beatable by those World First Youtuber guys and only after they have consumed many Hot Pockets.

I've successfully tanked Selene's bear on my shield tank. 75k Max Health and 60k shield ftw.

Cryptical

Worst I've been hit was for a bit over 100k by a sewer banner boss, and once grobull hit me with my own thrive in chaos ultimate for 65k.

But that rakkat recap..., whew.

bigted209

Had 320k from the transmuted hive lord in darkshade2 once, and have a screenshot from planar inhibitor for 270k heat stroke. Hats off to the million damage screenshot above...I think you win

The highest single-hit non-channel attack is most probably Velidreth's drop in Hard Mode.

Got one-hit killed on my 83k HP Blazing Shield Templar with 61k shields and mist form while standing in my Defensive Rune and a pal's Veil of Blades while trying to test that max damage. The boss had Minor Maim on him.

I had 28k resists (43% damage taken reduction to health), 19% in both CP resists, Minor Protection (8 %), Major Protection (30%), Mist Form (75%)

So that is a total of 92.6% damage taken reduction to health. Yet, I got killed with 83k HP and 61k shields which doesn't have any resists though, while boss had Minor Maim on her. That means true damage of the Fall attack amounts to more than 1120k damage!!!

That's right guys, Velidreth hard mode hits more than 1120k damage with her drop attack!

Non-HM version of the attack is much much lesser though, about 120k damage.

WalksonGraves

You guys are ridiculous, you can't count one shot mechanics for this list. Those are to be avoided using mechanics not blocked, your entire build is meaningless at that point.

I'm interested in knowing what the highest blockable single attack damage is if anyone knows that.

I'm not sure what you mean by "drop attack" but her shadow sense spikes deal unresistable damage, so literally mistform/shields do nothing to, well... resist the damage. On hardmode I think the spikes are mechanically designed to deal more damage than your health, as I don't every recall seeing anyone survive a screw up there.

That was exactly what i was thinking. Tankable damage was more what i was after.

For just singular hits, probably either the Serpent or Possesed Mantikora heavy attacks in vSO. Otherwise most other large hits are channeled and not just ONE hit.

There's some stupid ones now.

Spindle 1 last boss - will 1 hit anyone when it pits apart from tank.
Hel Ra - Warrior on Vet
Selene Bear attack
Gatling Gun - ICP last boss but can be healed, mitigated so I think this is still soggy noodle

Honestly... that's about it. Nothing else scares me apart from the above.
