I’ve faught Domihaus many times now in Veteran Falkreath Hold. A handful of times I have noticed that his damage shield (which he is prompted to activate at < 26% health) drops while fighting him, but I have no idea how this is triggered.
Does anyone know how to purposely break his damage shield? It would help me a lot with this boss lol.

✭✭✭✭I was told it is not a damage shield like we're used to, because as you said, you can kill him through it. The way it was explained to me is that it is added mitigation.
My guess is they wanted to make the burn phase harrowing and essentially shut off your crit, but then again that is added theory I've yet to test.1 -

Yeah that’s my issue too. It gets so chaotic I can’t tell what drops his shield.
I recorded a clip where he shouted at 5.5% health, but the shield did not go down unfortunately (and I died at 2.8% -_-).1 -

You are correct, but on a few occasions the damage shield did drop off, and it wasn’t from it having a duration that ran out from stalling between 20-25% health for awhile.
There is either a way to drop the shield or a rare bug

✭✭✭✭✭@ZOS_GinaBruno Could you ask if this is actually a bug that the damage shield occasionally drops? I’ve asked players in-game and no one seems to understand how to break it either, though I have broken it twice now. If a mechanic is involved it’s too obscure.0 -

You'd probably want to ask @ZOS_Finn yourself, though I doubt he would reveal the underlying mechanic.- Are you interested in Crown Crate item drop rates? Visit https://www.crowncrates.com and get the Crown Crate Tracker addon to help out!

True. My friend mentioned that it might have to do with the adds and the totems still though no one seems to know what this mechanic is 1 -

Well it prevents crits, and about 90% of the damage that you put on him is also directly negated by the shield as well. It's a million+ strength uncrittable imperfect damage shield. It's pretty OP honestly.
I would bet that the shield clears when the 4 adds are killed, but I'm not 100% sure.PC/NA - Nightfighters, Raid Leader and Officer

You can still critically strike the boss.
A large portion of your damage is redirected toward his damage shield. The rest hits the boss and can critically strike as usual.0 -

✭✭I haven't done this fight in a while but I always thought it was tied to the adds. I believe there was a banner for each element type that spawns with them and the one that's glowing needed to be killed? I'm too fuzzy on the details now.. I got my helm and got the hell out so that's all I kinda vaguely remember about it.love is love3 -

That sounds like it could be it! Not sure though. Need it to be tested to be sure. Honestly I only cared because wanted to solo this boss, but have decided tonight I don’t have enough time before CwC launches on console (Tuesday) to keep trying. I’m gonna accept defeat on this one

commdt✭✭✭✭His damage shield is connected to Atronachs. They spawn based on his HP % till something like 25%, then they spawn based on time. So it is best to have your ults ready by that time, stack atronachs with the boss and AOE everythingRawr0 -

It probably cannot be broken just like that. The way it seems to work is that the first damage mitigation shield goes away faster than the health and usually about 10% boss health it is completely gone. At this point you have about 10 sec or so to do dmg without boss having shield (and it is possible to kill him during this time if group dps is high enough). When the 10 sec (might be more or less don't know excatly) is gone new shield appears which has much much more damage mitigation like 10x. This second shield goes away too after a while is it just after certain amount of dmg done or boss shout or certain duration I don't really know.Edited by Make2k15 on November 27, 2017 12:37PM0 -

✭✭I would ask another basic question: what is the pattern/timer of getting that dmg shield by the boss? Because it is not true that it always appears at around 25% of the boss. From my experience, sometimes it is indeed around 20-25%, but I also saw this appearing at 8% or even not appearing at all (on HM). I've done this dungeon countless times and I still haven't figured that out.1 -
Ertthewolf✭✭✭All I know is when he gets that shield everyone in my group starts beating the cow pies outta him and he dies lol. Closing your eyes when he shouts also helps so you don't get dust in your eyes lol0 -

The timing is "any point after about 25%" but if you DPS him too hard, he'll get delayed or outright skipped mechanics. Which is great, until he remembers to do them all at like 15%.0 -

✭Every time I've fine this dungeon we just pound on him till he dies. I bet the shield has something to do with the atros. A good way to figure it out would be to go in normal mode and don't kill him until you figure out just what is dropping the shield.0
