Took a few hours to get through.

We honestly had more trouble on the Minotaur boss than on the final one. A lot of it was my fault given that I am notorious for being terrible at anything resembling platforming.

Apart from that once we figured out all the mechanics it wasn't too bad in the end.

I've done it. Once you figure it out, not bad.

Some advice to fellow tanks out there . Remember when you got rekt by Warrior in Hel Ra when it first got buffed in One Tamriel ? Everyone questioned your tank build and stuff ? It is exactly like that . You can still tank it with support gear (standart Ebon/Alkosh setup) but you will be relying on healer . Just like Warrior fight , it is both tank AND a healer test . If you don't trust your healer , get some tanky gear ready . Slot your self-heal skills . Those *** will hit you hard .

So , the general idea is , always focusing the boss with lowest health . When they die , they don't respawn . You want to get rid of them being too many . You focus at the only boss at first . When there is the medium clone , continue focusing the big one because that one will probably have less health than the medium one . When the small one is up , drop ultis and burn it down . Continue on the big one and leave the medium for last .

Most common problem is RNG . There will be lava pools that shoot some fireballs at you if you stand near them . After few shots , you get stunned . So you have to move away from them at all times . RNG is these lava pools might spawn anywhere during the fight . You could be moving again and again or you could be staying at the same spot through the whole fight . Difficulty of the fight is highly dependant on the spawn location of lava pools . Sometimes lava pools spawn on top of each other and giving you a lot of space to fight . Sometimes they are spread all over the place and you have nowhere to go . Once you get the idea of lava pools , it is easy .

Another mechanic is , one of the bosses having a shield and rocks falling from above . During this phase , your only priority should be survival and movement because obviously there might be lava pools around and falling rocks force you to run around . Healer must be very careful here because need to keep healing since tank continues to get heavy damage and need to avoid falling rocks at the same time .

As I said , mostly a tank and healer check . Only DPS race is burning down the small one . Just time your Ultimates for that and it should be fine .

@Sixty5 , I almost swear they've added some kind of 'jump snare' to this dungeon alone. It's either that or our characters are more suited for the NBA than the olympics.

I find it absurd that

• I jump 3 feet in the air, but can't jump 12 inches forward.
• I can get snared on a blade of grass, the hitbox on a non-corporeal entity (ghost/wraith)
• I can get stuck between two NPC's that are standing slightly less than shoulder width apart, yet they are literally immovable.
• I can get snared on the trailing edge of a slope.
• *semi related: I can be in mid roll dodge, get hit, and somehow get jerked back upright to my original position. (Tamrielic momentum, I guess...)

Anyone else feel like their longjump is even clunkier, just in this dungeon, possibly on purpose? Would be nice if they'd introduce 'hang time.' The longer you hold the button, the higher you jump (up to your max).

Bug/poor coding/FYI: One other thing that may not have been noticed by all, the Shalk targeted attacks don't care what your vertical position is. I found this out at the second spawn, where they come down the hill. If you make your way around them, get tartgeted, and try to jump over the Shalk ball (which would be easily cleared, considering the slope of the hill), as soon as your X and Y are within range, it will still trigger on you.

In my case none of that really matters.

I think I missed the jump for the skip in Vaults of Madness 5 times in a single run.
The first time I ran Elden Hollow 2 I fell off the edge of the map, hell I managed to fall off the White Gold Tower.

Point is I have butterlegs, and that is why I play a lot of Bosmers now.

Yeah, it took us a couple of hours across like 3 nights, but we eventually got it and later the other achievements.

It's a mess of a fight once all 3 are out, and I feel it's a good test of how well you can tank. Having to keep all 3 taunted (with their overlapping hitboxes...) and not run out of stamina when there's a whack incoming.

It's luck, too. Good lava spawns make the fight so much easier.

I haven't stepped foot inside in either normal or vet.

I have not, nor can I do it. As a person that's not an ESO+ subscriber I do not buy 'fake' DLCs. HotR and lizard DLCs are just... dungeons and nothing more.

But Eso+ Isn't just about the dlcs, so if your a gatherer I would suggest to get Eso+ rather than flat crowns if you don't have a sub

1500 Crowns a month (Already 15$ or so)
Craft Bag (Must have for gatherer imo)
10% xp to everything

I've had more trouble with some of the previous bosses in that dungeon. doing Blood-rot on vet is very possible as I've done it a few times. But doing it on HM is just a nightmare

nobody wants to do it lol i don't know why... i joined a pug on the last boss but they did not have good healing and when its time to hide behind pillars there is always 2 or 3 people who didn't tried for 2hr and same thing so eventually they left,

Yep. It's ez-pz with cookie-cutter meta-team. There is, however, one "but". One "but", which makes it frustrating and also one of the worst designes from ZoS in my book.

It's RNG-based.

Lava spawn is extremely buffling. Boss spawns it forward, I think, but distance, wtf is distance based on?

There can easily be situation in which lava spawns, you have to move, you have several options to where you can relocate, you chose one... LAVA, LAVA, LAVA.

Your team can be made of Flawless Conquerers, Dro-M'athra Destroyers, Divayth Fyr's Coadjutors - and you wipe still, just because **** you, that's why.

A lot of pressure on DDs. Good tank can handle bosses with only so much amount of problems. But for DDs it's very stressful, because there is even no clear DPS-check - the whole battle is DPS-check. The shorter it is, the less is the probability to get unlucky. So DPS like there is no tomorrow, go, go, go, go, but even if you're awesome Flawless Conquerer, Dro-M'athra Destroyer, Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor... yep. Still not a god.

For full meta team with 35k+ honest solo DPS it's honestly easy, with easy being: "Ok, guys, if not the first try, than the second".

With not full meta team? Weeeeeell... Good luck, I guess?

@Dantaria ...Look at the concentric rings that make up the center of the playing field. Watch the ground travelling fireball and you'll see it change form when it hits that barrier. If you're tank has the boss(es) outside of that barrier already, the lava spawn is pretty much instantaneous at present location.

The smaller rings seem to designate the smaller distance/time before the actual pool spawns, with one per Atro. It's another good reason to down the small one as soon as it arrives, as that's where your center area lava pools come from.

Using this, the tank can sort of 'choose' where the pool will spawn, by positioning, and more specifically orienting the boss in a particular direction.

...a couple other things about the lava pools, when casted, there is a small fireball that heads towards the edge of the arena. Once it actually hit the edge, that's when the pool forms. You can use the visual of the travelling fireball to know the general vicinity where the next pool will form, and preemptively move away.

Second, (not 100% sure on this, as there's usually a hell of a lot going on by that point), I believe the three rings of the arena are where the lava ball has to reach to form the pool. That is, first boss's lava ball has to hit the out ring. Mid boss's has to hit the edge of the middle ring. Little guy's just has to reach the very first ring.
