Your favourite boss encounter in-game

With the eso+ event, had a lot of fun in the DLCs with new peeps!
What is your favourite boss encounter in the game (can be a WB or quest boss as well, doesn't have to be dungeon)

Gotta say mine are currently Tacyr and Velidreth:
  • Tacyr because I love the hunts!
  • Veli because I love the dung in general, and if you have a group that even sort of knows whats happening, it's hella fun running circles in the catacombs and dodging her spikes.
    I also think the spikes are a good way to do a one shot - you cant miss that it's coming in the chaos xD

    No, I couldn't! But I am not a progress gamer, so I'm not sure if i could manage a restart! smilie_denk_11.gif

    Veya was a bit interesting at the end of Summerset with her increasing forms.

    Molag Bal reminded me a bit of the boss fight at the end of Skyrim: Dragonborn, not to mention you slice the guy in two.

    Fight-wise, I like the boss of Wayrest Sewers 1. I still believe she's one of the more well-designed boss fights.

    Aesthetically, I like the Warden the best probably.

    Velidreth has a memorable personality. But I'm not as crazy about her mechanics as you seem to be. Trying to explain the running part to newer players can be annoying and it's mostly just a nuisance in my opinion.

    Did I hear old Doshia? :D

    I think the twins in vMoL is by far the best fight mechanic wise in the game. Great fun and takes a lot of coordination.

    Some of the DLC dungeons has nice and challenging mechanics as well, especially on hard mode.

    The Dreugh King. I like to see how fast I can wipe all those poor little crabs he digs up. It just fills my screen with damage numbers. And the sets he drops. And now the Event Tickets he's giving me <3

    I Qd up for all Vet dlc dungs to pug as tank last night as i wanted a laugh, and i got march of sacrifices i tell ya it was 3 hours long but was really fun only 1 person dropped and that was a 103cp he said his dinner was ready lol, at balorgh the 3 players were screaming during the hunt as they said they were new to it for eso+ so long story haha now i have great memories of balorgh. Also i like velidreths dialouge she cracks me up, theres actually quite a few i like its hard to pin down 1 off the top of my head a few my favourites are lord warden (for his spirit bomb), the MECHA DRAGON in asylum, the last boss in hof and the last boss in vault of madness idk i love necromancy in es titles and the whole boss fight was fun early game before it started getting burnt thru.

    Matriarch Runa is a fair boss with clear mechanics that you need to follow. She has no RNG-based mechanics and that's why I like her.

    Molag Bal, the first time I met him with my main, it took me weeks to find the best strategy.
    Still bring my twinks, 14 until now, there to fight him down, though it is like a walk in the park nowadays.........

    And second, all time best, the last boss in the Dark-Brotherhood skill-line, awesome, great battle, love it!

    Big Boss the Dark Phoenix

    He is my favorite banana Boss encounter (he is actually a real nice guy)

    "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."

    The Twins in VMOL is the most elegant and well designed fight in the game IMO.

    My favorite of all time is Domihaus because the fight is fun (layout of the room, boss attacks and mechanics) and he is thematically a really cool boss. I also love Zaan thematically/as a character. I love the german voices of both Domihaus and Zaan voices too

    Definitely Xal Nur. He’s not bad fight wise but I love his dialogue.
    ‘Xal Nur make you spit blood. He he. He he.’ 🤣

    Have to echo this. Loved the mechanics, the weird rugby-esque team effort of taking of the green slime to the geyser, the dragons eating the adds, and the goofy dialogue.

    Mannimarco- Just before he announced that he was going to overthrow Molag, who heard him, dragged him back to Coldharbour, and sentenced him to eternal torture as an example.

    I'd have to say: Vila Theran... two reasons:

    1. Because it used to be one of the few cases of healing checks in the game... when that used to be important.
    2. Because she's hot :blush: (( <3 dunmer ladies ))

    Also, I always liked FG2 for some reason... all the hours hanging my head on the wall that that second boss used to represent must've hurt my brain :wink:
