Hello everyone, if you are having trouble soloing world bosses, make sure to check out my latest video and remember "slow and steady" wins the race.

Not much useful information here.

Bosses with one or more smaller bosses are much harder to keep in place while being solo.

Try to do Salo in Vvardenfell where you get CC:ed.

That hunger boss which jump you and suck you dry is also hard to solo as you need someone else to interrupt as you can't break free on your own.

Right now there is also lack of CC immunity, so you will have a much more harder time to survive and at least magica based shield aren't that good to reduce damage considering what it cost in magic.

I've soloed several World Bosses myself, but there will always be those who are damn near impossible, such as that Caravan Guar in Deshaan that Stuns you and immediately follows up with a big 'ol chomp to the face. You either need to spam shields with that one, or bring a Tank.

Yeah that hunger world boss is a tough one to solo, done it before and it isn't a fun one to do solo and most often when you do get it done solo it is by sheer luck imo.

or don't get hit by the stun

Not that I actually watched the video -- -- but:

I've soloed almost every world boss in the 16 base zones, but that was before the difficulty was upped for some of them, and at a time when a sorcerer melee pet held taunt very, very reliably. A few of the triple bosses were very hard, especially since negate bubbles unsummoned pets back then, and the same goes for some with vast AoE environmental damage. But as a general rule you could have a pet taunt the boss, keep it alive w/ shields/heals, and handle anything else about the fight straightforwardly.

I imagine pet sorcerer would still be one of the top specs for soloing world bosses, just as it is agreed to be for vMA.

That boss isn't too hard. He's certainly tough compared to other base game WBs but pales in comparison to anything found in the DLC zones.

I soloed the Unfinished Dolmen which was fun.

I can do some of the easier bosses...it takes me a while though...

Unfinished dolmen is a fun one, trick for those that don't know about it is literally destroy the portals when you see them show up, just heavy attack them if you are a staff user... if you are using a resto or lightning staff it is far easier.

I've done all the world bosses in the game solo with my main but my main is a breton templar. I will agree there are some really challenging ones that make you feel like it is rng of actually beating them.

Not really useful information. I mean you're CP 400+ with an obviously well developed character... the only people who can solo world bosses are generally well geared and well leveled... meaning they know everything you just wasted time putting in a video.

Anyway, outside of e-peen what do you gain from this? A crappy green item for a "slow and steady" fight - nty.

I was using a mDK at the time (when they were "bad") and pretty much spammed blockade, embers and lash with Ilambris proc. It was a tanky forgiving build that felt invincible.

I think around cp 200 range is the usual safe bet ones to say you can solo most world bosses in the game. Depends all what you want to do.

If I wanted to solo for the epeen display, I would have made a video of me Boxing the Alik'r Mummy King to death on a level 8 Sorc Tank while the player I was helping took care of the summon.

I really just touch on world bosses in the base game, as the DLC bosses are more designed for groups. I've done most of Morrowind solo though, but not with a sorc, templar would be go to for that area because of the AOE and heals. Also, there is a video of me soloing Dub. Tower on my channel, but again templar not sorc. And agreed, the Hunger Boss is very tough solo.

I 100% agree.. I think world bosses are very inconsistent in the game. Some are very very easy and some just take for every. Thank you for the comment.

That's the point of the video. To properly gear yourself up and develop a character before attempting to solo world bosses. This video is just tips i put together for newer players to the game. (every day I play, i always see under leveled players attempting the world bosses, so thought it would just help them out).

There are in game achievements for beating the world bosses. Which is the only reason i really do them, since the gear is not something i really need.

Thank you everyone for your comments. Obviously I never know if a video is useful without any feed back . This was very helpful and loved hearing everyones stories on world bosses. Everyone have a great weekend.

I do it for fun. It's the only challenging overland content in the game.
