The absolute most difficult BASE GAME world boss?

hcbigdogdoghc · August 2021

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.

Larcomar · August 2021

Menhir Stoneskin (Valeguard Tower, Rivenspire)

Can't remember the names. But I remeber the gargoyle type things in southern Rivenspire
being tough.

edit - looke dit up. It was menhir stoneskin.

GenjiraX · August 2021

Bittergreen the Wild (Caravan Crest, Deshaan)

Never been able to solo it.

code65536 · August 2021

Aurig Mireh & her trusty whip (Shivering Shrine, Stonefalls)

With the Rivenspire and Grahtwood ones as close runner-ups.

The general theme for all three is that they're stam-intensive if you want to survive.

awh this sucks i legit thought id see bosses more hard than the gargoyle but it seems that's the hardest boss

Bittergreen the Wild (Caravan Crest, Deshaan)

Bittergreen, followed by the Golden Saint in Stonefalls.

None of the above. Soloed them all with various degrees of difficulty. That Glenumbra werewolf trio is absolutely nasty. though.

Bittergreen the Wild (Caravan Crest, Deshaan)

That Guar with a backpack is a pain to solo.

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.

Aurig Mireh & her trusty whip (Shivering Shrine, Stonefalls)

Guess that's the only one that can still be a challenge

TwinStripeUK · August 2021

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)

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.

One day I will defeat my arch nemesis Bittergreen.

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.

rpa · August 2021

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.

Toxic_Hemlock · August 2021

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.

Edit: clarity

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.

Others; The Hag boss in Rivenspire (I've forgotten her name). Once you've fought her a couple times, you know how to not get overwhelmed by her zombie adds. New player? Oof

emilyhyoyeon · August 2021

Menhir Stoneskin (Valeguard Tower, Rivenspire)

For everyone not voting Menhir Stoneskin, how did you solo him? He's the only boss I haven't been able to solo after like 2 attempts

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!

Ringing_Nirnroot · August 2021

Menhir Stoneskin (Valeguard Tower, Rivenspire)

The gargoyle is almost impossible to solo, the Guar from deshaan was doable with my tank companion

PSA to anyone having issues with the Golden Saint: you can cheese her with ranged attacks by jumping on the rocks behind the ruins then carefully positioning yourself on a shelf above her. Force Shock and and Inner Fire are both able to reach her, so anything with that range will work. She will just stand there and take it, and the adds will not be able to harm you.

You can always win a fight if you cheese it and use exploits.. no fun though

Only select few WBs can be cheesed like that. Not to mention that exploiting buggy AI is a core TES experience.

Menhir Stoneskin (Valeguard Tower, Rivenspire)

Haven't been able to solo the gargoyle yet. Have soloed all the others.

But then you don't get to say that you beat them easily.. you didn't..

I expected more problems with the guar, but it went fine. The one I always seem to have trouble with is the ghost at Angarvunde Mound.

FluffWit · August 2021

Menhir Stoneskin (Valeguard Tower, Rivenspire)

I solo'd every boss a while after One Tamriel dropped for fun. Menhir was the only one I had to ask for help with. Just way too many adds for me to handle.

FluffWit · August 2021

Menhir Stoneskin (Valeguard Tower, Rivenspire)

And please add any more you find tough guys

I like to go looking for a challenge when we get asked to kill bosses for endeavours.

The Dremora in Bankorai that summons Ogrim can be pretty brutal if you don't keep up with the spawns.

Lumsdenml · August 2021

Bittergreen the Wild (Caravan Crest, Deshaan)

HATE. HIM. SO. MUCH.

Prof_Bawbag · August 2021

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.
