Who's the true boss of the base game world bosses?
Honorary mentions to Thodundor, Duriatundur, Rageclaw, and probably some others that I forgot. But the following are probably the most infamous ones.

awh this sucks i legit thought id see bosses more hard than the gargoyle but it seems that's the hardest bossI am @fluffypallascat pc eu if someone wants to play together

✭✭Bittergreen the Wild (Caravan Crest, Deshaan)Bittergreen, followed by the Golden Saint in Stonefalls.So they raised the floor and lowered the ceiling. Except the ceiling has spikes in it now and the floor is also lava.2 -

✭Aurig Mireh & her trusty whip (Shivering Shrine, Stonefalls)Guar with backpack is easy if you kite it around and bash the Spriggans. But that Golden Saint, get stunned at wrong moment and you're dead.5 -

✭✭✭✭✭Aurig Mireh & her trusty whip (Shivering Shrine, Stonefalls)Guess that's the only one that can still be a challengeEdited by colossalvoids on August 19, 2021 11:37AM0 -
TwinStripeUK✭✭✭Nindaeril the Monsoon & Bavura the blizzard (Nindaeril's Perch, Grahtwood)Straight tie between Aurig Mireh and Nindaeril when soloing (although I got my ass handed to me at Hunter Camp in The Rift numerous times).
Not sure why so many are having trouble with Bittergreen though - it's very do-able solo with decent DoT and some healing (RotPO is awesome for this)0 -
phaneub17_ESO✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Menhir Stoneskin (Valeguard Tower, Rivenspire)The trick to Bittergreen is to ambush the Spriggans as they spawn, they're usually grouped up together at the beginning. Use group immobilize, stuns, or knock them into the air before they can spread out. Interrupt often to prevent them from channel boosting. You can clear one side of them fairly quickly reducing his boost by half then make your way to the other side and clear them before facing against the guar.
I hate the gargoyle because of the mages, a pain to solo even with the addition of a companion tank.1 -
cynicalbutterfly✭✭✭✭Bittergreen the Wild (Caravan Crest, Deshaan)One day I will defeat my arch nemesis Bittergreen.5 -
danno8✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Others?I always have trouble with one in Bankorai. They're a daedra or daedra worshipper and they summon a bunch of hard hitting scams that have a ranged fireball attack so you have to kill them.
On a non-max level character I find the fight simply overwhelming.2 -
rpa✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Bittergreen the Wild (Caravan Crest, Deshaan)Bittergreen is the one I've found most annoying. I let the tanky folks deal with it and (try to) deal with adds while dodging the aoes.0 -
Toxic_Hemlock✭✭✭✭✭
✭Others?Not gonna cast a vote on any specific one here, but sometimes I get to feeling the overland is too easy...
At those times I try to solo any one of the world bosses without companion or pet and I usually walk away humbled, and short a soul gem or two.
I'm sure there are easy ones out there, but I generally just avoid them as my RNG sucks.

hehe. Was sort of wondering if anyone would mention them. While they are now quite doable for me given CP level, there was a time, for a long time... when I used to keep going back there to solo them on my healers - in healer build. Kind of my way to test myself. I figured once I got to the point of being able to kill them all by myself without issues, I could solo dungeons. It proved to be true, lol. In the absence then of a testing dummy, they were great.

I remember this one being really tough when I first started playing, even after One Tamriel. They suddenly became very doable at some point though, not sure if they were adjusted in a patch or maybe once I knew a bit more about the game they weren't as tough.
Honourable mention to Rageclaw in Eastmarch. Damage can stack up quite nastily when the adds appear!Ps4 EU2 -

✭✭✭Those 2 cats in Grahwood. They're easy asf until the stuns happen and you have no stam left.
The other one i struggle with is the Ogre in Greenshade (I think it's that zone). He stuns me, then due to the speed of his next attack, one shots me.0
