Yup.The single quest I dread to death.
A Lasting Winter.
I go to get Nairume out of her vault,and that damn General keeps respawning,over and over.I use that ring as well,but just cannot kill them(she respawns in twos). And since it is solo,I have no help from anyone else.

    Group up with someone. They cam help you with it even if they have done the quest.

    I tried,but there is no one who would join me.All I would need to so it is one more person.I ran around and asked a few,but they ignored me. XD

    You need to use crowd control abilities (the ability Nairume has is enough) on both to keep them with about the same amount of hp. Abilities that hit both at once are good, but I prefer CC and burn (use CC on one, burn the other, use CC on other, burn the first... like that). Do that until their hp is low enough for you to kill both in a very short time span so the remaining one doesn't get the chance to make another clone.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    It's reasonably easy, in that you have to whittle the health down of both bosses to the last 5-10% and then bomb them down quickly before they spawn another. It took some time for me to realise this, but this fight is about tactics more than just all-out attack :p

    My least favorite quest personally is the "Elemental Army" one from Craglorn. It's one of the few soloable quests there, and yet when you have to take out the Storm Matriarch there's a room above him which is glitched to endlessly spawn Lightning Imps. Until you die and lose aggro. Then of course after you defeat the boss you need to go back out and die again to lose aggro or jump to a friend/guildie/wayshrine.
    I have departed into the great unknown that is outside the game and the forums, and wish you well in your Tamriel adventures!

    Nairume doesnt seem to do that well with them both at once on me.I try to dodge,roll and dive out of the way,but,whew.Her crowd control isnt the best though it does help with all the other enemies.The gargoyles and all that.

    I don't think that's true. I tried to help my nephew with this one a little while back, and I couldn't even enter the cave on a character I had already done the quest with.

    I can help. I've done it twice. And I hated it both times.

    PM me if you still need it.

    Edit: Oh wait, I just saw UrQuan's comment. Sigh. If he's right, I can't help you either.

    Sorry.

    McDerrikk and Abeille have got it right, lower the health of both bosses and when one of them is killed, freeze the second so you can leisurely kill them before they spawn a clone.

    Wanna see you kill doshia back in the day.
    It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
    Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
    It lies behind stars and under hills,
    And empty holes it fills,
    It comes first and follows after,
    Ends life, kills laughter.
