We are currently investigating issues some players are having on the North American and European PC/Mac megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.
As a NB: Simply not able to kill Preinrha, end boss in Walking Darkness.

I'm a nightblade two handed and archer with resto-staff as well. I started as ebon.
I simply can't kill Preinrha. It despawns at about half health and groups of mobs appears. Having played a Scorc to V5, and Temp & DK as well, it appears NB is the only class I have issues with these types of bosses that require AOE's.
Can one group up to kill this boss? Usually the last quest is one a player has to do alone.
Any constructive advise would be appreciated. Pretty freaking frustrating.
Thanks

✭Which boss is that? I don't recall?

Aeratus✭✭✭✭✭For NB, just have veil of blades ready. With veil of blades, even 7 or 8 V10 mobs (before vet mob nerf) weren't a problem for me. Melee mobs would just get stuck and snared in the veil and eventually died from destro staff impulses.
I ran into harvesters a lot in Bangkorai (v10 zone for me). Their orbs spawn really close and it was difficult to shoot them down. For these harvesters, I try to shoot down some of the orbs, and just out-dps their heals from the orbs that are not destroyed. In these encounters, I use resto staff dps build.0 -
LunaRae✭✭✭✭Yea I've done all content solo starting from Ebon > Dagger > AD as a Nightblade dual wield melee for EP zone, then in the first VR zone switched to Bow w/ dual on back up. I have an easier time taking on large number of mobs w/ bolstering darkness (veil of blades??) the ultimate from shadow, 30% dmg reduction +100% of that to the caster... really nice to have for tough fights.
honestly though I don't remember the fight at all, or the quest, so it's hard to give meaningful advice - sorry. I just know there were SOME fights that required me to run around in circles regening while mobs chased me, so definitely use everything you can to win a fight.Stands-Strong-As-Snow ~ Argonian Templar DC NA V14

Zafu✭✭Sure, when my Ults are up I can take down the multiple mobs, but then more mobs spawn and my ults aren't up 100% of the time. This is not challenging. It's absurd.
NB is the only class I can see having this issue with, While we have some AOE's via ults, we are a single target class. It's a game stopper.1 -

What is your main class? I ask, because that is very obnoxious comment. If I'm required to specialize Destruction Staff and Light Armor merely to complete a quest than it's a problem, period.1 -

My main character is a VR12 dual-wield/bow/resto-staff Nightblade. I wear all medium armor. I have my Tamriel Hero achievement, so don't bother asking whether I skipped over quests to get to VR12.
Destruction staff is not the only viable damage-dealing weapon. And it certainly isn't the only one with AoE attacks. Your Bow tree has two AoE attacks. Your Siphoning tree has one. Your Assassination tree has one. You have two AoE ultimate abilities. Many class builds don't have AoE abilities in their skill trees; they also have to rely primarily on weapon skills. And I have no idea how you got to VR5 without learning this.
Edit: I just looked up the boss to remind myself which one it was. In what world do you need AoE abilities to take her out? I killed her with my bow and never had to put down an AoE.Edited by nerevarine1138 on July 15, 2014 11:10PM----

Zafu✭✭You're clearly a superior player of virtual games. Grats to you.
She spawns dozens of mobs as I explained to begin with. Once her health drops she wisps away leaving tons of mobs that continue spawning. Assuming you are correct, perhaps the trick is to kill her before that happens. I've yet to be able to do that.0 -

Are you sure you're thinking of the same boss? She's a harvester. The only spawns that she has are her orbs, which you need to bring down to stop her from healing, but they don't pose any danger to you. I haven't been able to find anything (through my own experience or looking online) about her having extra friends in the church. What kind of enemies are you seeing there?----

Aeratus✭✭✭✭✭You don't need a destro staff. You can instead use the bombard morph and the siphoning attacks morph, preferably with jewelry that reduce stamina cost. For solo this build is even better than destro for AOE.1

Zafu✭✭She isn't a harvester. Her name is Preinrha and she spawns in human-like form and the rest I've repeated numerous times.0

✭✭✭✭✭She isn't a harvester. Her name is Preinrha and she spawns in human-like form and the rest I've repeated numerous times.
Here is a video.
She doesn't change at veteran levels; just becomes harder to kill. Well, she used to be harder to kill. These days, I think she's probably about as hard as any pre-VR harvester.
I have absolutely no idea which boss you're talking about, but I assure you that it isn't Preinrha.----

Zafu✭✭OP's description is more in line with the final boss battle against Septima Tharn.
Thanks Aeratus. That makes sense. I was reading off of the quest itself. It's the last fight of the quest line and simply says "Destroy Preinrha" Appreciate you clearing up any confusion I may have caused.0 -

✭I was thinking of the same Aeratus, where you have mages and fighters helping you, and she spawns in the middle of the big instance0 -

That's a totally different quest chain, though.
What does the area you fight in look like? A church? Or a giant open area with pillars?----

nerevarine1138✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭That's Septima Tharn.
So the main thing would be to let the waves come to you instead of trying to kill them all at once. Or get a group if you can't handle it.----

Zafu✭✭I actually would like to apologize to the community. Had a bad day and the frustration got to me. Now, realizing I can group for this quest, it's a different story. Grouped up with one other player, a V4 NB actually. I used Bow & Resto for heals and completed the quest easily.0

Knootewoot✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭What? You can do this with a group? I thought i had to solo it. I am DC so i didn't have to do it at vet level. I am also NB and I used bow only. Shooting Septima, until the jumps away and spawns many ghosts. I swam to the right side across water and shoot the ghosts. They come in pairs of 2 mostly around the water. Kill, rinse and repeat. Took me a while to figute out this strategy. Used same for my sorc.٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
"I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."0 -
Elad13✭✭✭With my dw templar I just ran to the right...crossed the water to slow down the constant mob rush. ...then last 4 are archers so I cross back kill them,and when she pops up hit her as hard as I can....When she flashes out I run back across the water and take them out has they come....This dropped them down to about 1 or 2 I had to take out at a time instead of 4 to 6...hope that helps....has a DW redgaurd templar I learned that using landscapes was my only real choice. Hope that helps. It took me 2 full mob spawns to get her dead.Edited by Elad13 on July 16, 2014 5:48AM0

✭✭✭✭✭I remember beating this quest while septima was bugged and spawned a second copy of herself, one that would not die even when reduced to 0 hitpoints. Fun times

✭Just Spam Drain Power and Cleave, Using either Veil of blades or Soul Tether (i prefer Tether when soloing for the stun)
With Siphoning attacks active MP and SP will basically be a non-issue.... Healing can easily be done if you pop a few quick siphons on one or 2 mobs.
If thats not easy enough just use the Bombard Morph of Arrow Spray, Which timed can lock down the melee enemys very easily.
Your choice in Class or equipment is not your problem.... Hell with yoursetup in equipment you should be breezing through the content at VR levels.
another tip, While fighting the single mob, just use Haste and Force Siphon and spam light attacks... you should be healing and Damaging fast enough to out do her DPS with little assist from your other abilitys... Add on Strife and Regeneration and if you are still struggling then maybe this is not the game for you.Edited by Hypertionb14_ESO on July 16, 2014 7:58AMI play every class in every situation. I love them all.0 -

This is why some people prefer to solo and don't like to post asking for advice. There's always one knobshine with a snarky comment.
