Hardest DLC World Boss

Wolf_Eye

Just curious what everyone thinks is the hardest DLC World Bosses. And I mean in terms of, this boss is so hard it's near impossible to solo if no one else is around to help you.

I specify DLC because I feel like the DLC World Bosses are on a much higher level than the base game World Bosses.

Let's hear them!

I'll start by saying that I think the Toad Tongue Camp is pretty hard to try and do by yourself. The chief hits like a semi truck, and there are a ton of adds to juggle on top of that.

Lol broken Lurcher WB in Murkmire.

The hunger in Vvardenfell, the mirelurk in Murkmire and Toad Tongue camp are the only ones I haven't been able to solo yet. Haven't had an opportunity to try to solo the Deadlands bosses yet.

Ri'Atarashi.

SilverBride

Keelsplitter in Summerset.

Walks In Thunder in Murkmire. The healing totems are nuts.

But if anyone didnt know there is a trick. Have someone with a taunt bring her to the cave door. Hold her as close to it as you can as much as you can. It cuts the number of times that spawn and makes them much easier to find and target.

But you still need a hard hitting ranged dps to take em out fast or before you know it shes gotten a tonne of health back.

Beyond that shout out to the Ninjas in Southern Elsweyr.

Do you kick the barrels of food at Toad Tongue? It distracts the durzogs. Then pull boss away from barrels?

Walks like Thunder, Ri'Atrashi, and Toad Tongue, in that order.

Walks like Thunder by a country mile, tbh.

If you change your boss aoe color, it gets a lot easier to see the snakes 🐍 aoe area. If you don't step on them, then he becomes much easier.

Edit: Difficulty is subjective so not saying he isn't hard. Just that this is a sneaky mechanic that makes the fight harder than it needs to be. And a color swap makes it more manageable. At least for me

Walks-Like-Thunder, as has been pointed before, can get really tedious.

However my (DLC) nemesis is the three Wraith-of-Crows bosses in Exarchs' Egress (CWC).

Honourable mention to Unfinished Dolmen in Wrothgar.

Full disclosure, I haven't tried to solo Toad-Tongue War Camp or the two WBs in The Deadlands yet.

Walks-Like-Thunder and Wuyuvus are not possible solo, though Wuyuvus is very easy outside of that one interrupt mechanic. The hardest soloable boss for me is probably Zandadunoz in Wrothgar, it's the countless suicide bomber spawns. Ri'Atahrashi is one that I find easier solo than with random people. Almost every time I die, it's because someone comes by and proceeds to kill the last student, causing all 4 to respawn. Toad-Tongue chief is much more manageable, at least other players can't kill me with misunderstood mechanics there.

I can't comment on the Deadlands bosses because I never got to fight them solo or even duo.

Wuyuvus in Vvardenfell, and The Unmaker in Deadlands.

Both have interrupts that you need to activate to beat them. And for the Unmaker, I haven't figured out a way around the interrupt. Those are the only two bosses I have yet to solo. So far I have soloed every other WB in the game.

To be fair, I soloed Walks-Like-Thunder before it was broken. Don't think it would go over well now.

The worst doable solo fight in the game is the giant Sea Sload in Summerset. That takes sooo long to do.

Agree on Ri'Atahrashi being easier solo. You can kite him away from the students and makes it much easier to manage. And Toad-Tongue is all about separating the durzogs with the barrels.

ApoAlaia

I see Wuyuvus crop up quite a bit. One word. Precognition.

vgabor

I'd say that the hardest to beat in this game is The Lag boss, as it just keeps resurrecting and coming back for time to time

Exactly this (emphasized above). Ri'Atarashi is easier to solo than it is to do with other people simply because no one seems to know or perform the mechanics of the fight.

Wuyuvus used to be possible with self healing, dots, and good timing (like a stam sorc). Been a while since I fought him though, so I dunno if anything has changed. Seems like maybe you could also dodge-roll to keep him from pinning you but I may not be remembering correctly.

Walks-Like-Thunder gets my vote with Zandadunoz a close runner-up.

I can't comment on the Deadlands bosses either.

The snakes aren't a problem; it's the spouts that don't give you enough time to roll out.

If you don't hit the snake then it's easier to deal with the water spout mechanic. What happens to a lot of people trying to do that boss is they get hit by both and then die.

Just block when the spouts come up and don't step on the snakes and you won't get CC'ed

Keelsplitter is perfectly valid choice. I was only curious to know what other people consider to be the hardest, and not so much what is the most "objectively hard".

So no worries. I apologize, I didn't mean to start any arguments.

I haven't had a chance to solo the Deadlands bosses either. There's almost always a group waiting to fight them. But I have a feeling that those wandering bosses might be a lot worse than the "stationary" locations to try and solo.

There are no wrong answers. All of us can have trouble with different things. For me, Keelsplitter used to be hard until I figured out the snake thing because sometimes I'd miss a block and get hit with snakes around same time and would take a lot of damage.

But that was before I long ago changed my settings to make boss stuff more visible to my eyes. Some bosses really make it hard to see what's going on and that's what gets you killed. Honestly even with the color changes sometimes I still have problems seeing what the crow mini bosses are doing in Harrowstorms. There's just so much information on the screen during those fights.

I wasn't trying to argue just give a tip that massively changed which fights were hard for me, as digging into your settings isn't something most people think to do.

I kinda wish the visuals for somethings in this game were more clear.

No no, I wasn't necessarily pointing fingers, just a generic reassurance that I wanted to keep things laid back. A laid back thread. You're cool, sparta

And oof, Harrowstorms. Those things are so difficult with so many different stuff going on that it's very easy to die even if you know what you're doing. I onced rolled away from the Crow's scythe attack only to roll right into one of those Werewolf bosses and got swiped. I was dead before my brain even caught up to realize what happened. I'm glad that they now advertise when a Harrowstorm is up because you really need at least a few other people to help with those.

The wandering bosses aren't easy, very little room for mistakes. I would put them at slightly more difficult than the wandering Imperial City sewer bosses. The amount of health they have really contributes to the difficulty too. Provides a much longer fight to make a mistake during. Definitely doable, but a pain to solo for sure.

I do, just haven't been able to do it yet.

MasterSpatula

Well, the Unmaker in The Deadlands has a mechanic rather like the Flesh Sculptor's "Tenderize" ability: An incapacitating health drain that needs someone else to interrupt. The hunger on Vvardenfell has something similar. So I would guess neither is soloable.

ssewallb14_ESO

Walks, it's not even close. He's a jerk, but it's possible.




Wuyuvus isn't too bad if you have enough passive damage and healing to outpace it's drain. Actually pretty easy on sorc.

Ri'Atarashi is incredibly annoying but not that bad if you play the mechs.

The ones that heal are the hardest for me to solo. The Hunger in Vvardenfell and there was one in Murkmire also I tried but just kept healing back faster than I damage them. I forget their names.

I think I soloed all the ones in Blackwood, and they were no joke. I haven't had a chance to solo any of the Deadlands ones yet because there are always populated.

Harrowstorms are hell to solo now. I went to Greymoor Caverns the other day thinking I was going to farm some Vampiric Recepis and let's just say that didn't last. lol

Hardest loot I ever earned.
