Molag Bal Bugged

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · October 2014

So, I'm leveling an alt. I get to the Molag Bal fight. His adds show up and just stand there and do nothing. Not that they are difficult (we all know the drill, just hold block and they quickly go bye-bye) but it was disappointing. Maybe they were there for moral support.

To top off the experience, I quickly (about 3 min.) got him down to 50% of his HP with my desto using only Elemental Susceptibility and Force Pulse at which point he drops to one knee (not from an arrow) and I do the finishing move. Really? This was so lame. I remember my first fight with him lasting about 8 minutes and I had to get him down to almost zero HP. Did they nerf him?

Sadly, they might have. I'll be working my Templar his direction over the next couple of days. She hit V1 out in the desert, due to me farming in between quests. The news you bring doesn't sound encouraging.

That fight has already been waay to easy for a long time.

I just did this the other day and I got him to around ~10% (maybe even 5%) before finishing. Not sure where that discrepancy is coming from.

As for the adds, a lot showed up but only a few were killable. The others seemed to stand there in a ring for, as you put it, moral support. It was my first time so I just assumed that's what they were supposed to do.

I have fought him recently with 3 characters. The first one, all the adds had to be dealt with, for the second one, only some of the adds had to be dealt with. With the Sorcerer who went through it last, about 3 weeks ago, the first fight which I lost because I was trying to DPS him, the adds had to be dealt with, the second time, only 3 of them had to be dealt with, the others just stood there.

It has always been a spam with Light Attacks kind of fight. I only used Surge and Boundless Storm (for more move speed) and then spammed my Bow at him. As for health, once you get him down under 10,000, then you get the finishing move.

I have killed him 4 times (see signature) and all 4 times, you do the "FINISH HIM" move prior to him actually reaching 0 health. It seems to happen between 10-15%. Has worked this way since beta.

Pretty sure they did nerf him a little though. I guess the blessing of Akatosh wasn't enough.

Voodoo · October 2014

I just did that fight last week level 49 Templar using bow only. The gargoyles attacked once and as soon as I killed one that was it. (not sure if that's proper mechanic or not?). I had to get Molag to about 20-10% I believe before the fight concluded. I assume that was the correct mechanic?

I have a video of this, I'll post it later when I'm at home and not in the office.
I'm glad I've already done the fight, because for the final quest to be bugged like that would be very disappointing

Please do.

I'd love to see what's going on lately in there.

I finished the entire Coldhabour map only by using Impulse+evil hunter .....same with molag bal fight, by the time you reach Molags` lair ,you already have your evil hunter buff with 5+ mins thanks to all the daedra you killed trying to get there.

I seriusly hope they increase the dificulty of the "Solo" experience in future updates...especially if they try to do dark brotherhood and thieves guild quests

My Templar just kept herself alive and pecked him to death with a resto staff. His "helpers" didn't help him much. One of those "Is that all you've got?" dramas.
