If you hover over the tasks it explains them in detail.

Unfortunately I don't think there's a way for us to view this on console.

ZOS does like to pour salt in that "Console player" wound.

I got mine from an ice atronach near Willowgrove. I was actually going there to see if atronachs cpunted for the bestial daedra (they dont), and it ticked it for me for dangerous foe.

I don't know who wrote these descriptions bc those atronachs around willowgrove are hardly dangerous in their current, post-quest states.

Not sure if is intended or not but this made it quite straightforward for me, thanks.

Couple of storm atros, couple of ice atros, sorted.

The doors in Cyrodiil when enemies around are the most dangerous foes of all.

From what I've seen, a "dangerous foe" is any mob or boss that has the extra wings ("shields"?) on the sides of their life bar; it doesn't matter whether or not they have an "invincible" phase.

Case in point, I killed the Watcher that spawns outside of the Ashalmawia delve when you interrupt the summoning ceremony, and it counted toward completing the "dangerous foes" endeavor, even though the Watcher has only 1 shield and doesn't have an invincible phase.

I knocked this out zerging an outpost in Cyrodiil. No clue if it was the guards or the players that triggered it.... I was kinda hoping it was the players.

Pretty sure it must have been the guards.

Players would count toward a different type of endeavor.

Originally, when this thread was created, "Dangerous Foe" was any enemy with exactly 1 pip on their health bar. I.e., a tier-1 elite. Enemies that had more did not count.

They've since fixed this, and for the endeavor on 2021/07/04, enemies with at least 1 pip on their health bar counted. I.e., any elite or boss.
