Skyrim: Now THAT'S a boss fight!

[Dansen]

Doesn't anyone encounter that teleport dude in skyrim? That guy is freaking hard if you are low level.

Do tell?
My random encounters are minimal. I fast travel too much, I think. Unless I'm on a character with specific plans to explore. But even then I don't do enough quests to activate various encounters.

I fought him, he was a battle mage for a jarl and became a dragur. When you enter the room their are three pillars and his coffin that rise above the ground. On these pillars are strange runes. When the guy shows up you can only get like three hits on him until he teleports to one of the runes in the room, and when he teleports he summons two weaker copies of himself on the other two runes. He won't appear on the rune closest to you. Then you have to figure out which one is the real one and attack him. It really hard because he uses powerful spells and he teleports and clones constantly. Its the only serious boss fight I have had in Skyrim

Teleports? One of the bosses in Forbidden Legend does that. It glitched on one of my most recent games, he didn't reappear so I could get the amulet piece

I really had to work hard to finish off the hordes of undead toward the end of the second part of the wolf queen? quest. It was tough because all I had at the time was some okay ish gear and a few potions. I remember this undead using a powerful shout attack at one point and vaulting my only good 2h axe into the shadows leaving me with a crappy sword to finish him off. Epic battle though.

Eh, that fight could have been so much more. I was 40+ when I found extra time to go and do it, and the lightning barely did a thing.
And I was on the caster mentioned in my OP, a playstyle I'm not nearly as skilled in.

My first and only run-in with that guy from OPs post had me as a stealth character. Employing all my guile, I popped a home-brewed invisibility potion, snuck up behind him and insta-killed him with my glass dagger.

Imagine my face when, instead of him dropping like a maggot, he turns into an undead. My clever trick had done nothing to reduce the amount of enemies, and although I could take out his minions fairly easily, I was just not prepared for that.

I probably saved myself a lot of effort by backstabbing him, but it nevertheless threw me for a loop. I love Skyrim.

My stealthers take him out pretty easily, too.
Though his popup Shade-form kind of surprised me.

In the story of my OP, I had actually forgotten he does that. Thankfully it wasn't too difficult, considering I died and reloaded several times.

I have 2 hard boss fights.

Boss Fight 1: Vampire Lord Harkon ON NOVICE!
(Not including the bug where he just stares at you. Or the bug where he can't die)
I start to fight Harkon. Thinking this to be easy, I use vampire lord form and start spamming drain life. He one shot's me. I decide to use Dawnbreaker. He once again one shot's me. I then start to kick his ass. then he hides behind a forcefield and regenerates health. I die 4 more times. ONLY THEN does Serana decide to tell me to use Auriel's Bow to break the forcefield. As an off topic not, did anyone else think that castlevania boss music suited this battle?

Boss Fight 2: Miraak
God Fucking Damn was Miraak hard. Not only is there the acid pools, but he has unlimited dragon aspect and shouts. It took me 15 (!!) attempts before he FINALLY died.

The best boss fights in Skyrim I've mostly had because of mods.

There are two, nobody will read them but yeah I thought they were cool.

1: Fight against Alduin. Something clearly malfunctioned with my deadly dragons mod, because in the final area there were, at all times, at least four or five dragons swooping me and fighting. So when I made it to the keep and got the other heroes, it was like we were actually fighting in a dragon war. When we were outside it took like 40 minutes to actually use our shouts together without getting swarmed by dragons.

During the Alduin fight there were still dragons everywhere that the npcs were doing shit against. I'm not even sure how it happened because nobody I've spoken with that has deadly dragons mod has had this happen to them. I was amazed after having that much fun, that it wasn't in the vanilla game.

2: This one is less of a boss fight and more of an embarrassment but I thought I'd share anyway. On a new playthrough I was just exploring the world, hadn't even unlocked dragons yet. To my surprise north of Solitude I saw what looked like a Dragon flying through the air so I went to investigate. It looked like a normal dragon, so I thought I'd just kill it. Big Mistake. As soon as I shot at it, there was a noise like thunder cracking, and meteors fell from the sky, and I saw that my arrow hadn't even budged its healthbar. I found it impossible to kill because whenever I'd ready an arrow I'd have to sheathe it to dodge a meteor, and the swooping knocked me off my feat a lot. Had to make a strategic retreat, but it was very fun.

I played as a mage also. I found the Draugr Deathlords very hard for a long time, even with the full knockdown shout. They just deal so much damn damage in a single hit, and it's not always possible to run around them.

The sorcerers who drop the masks give me the hardest time as any class. Only once was I able to exploit stupid AI to keep him moving consistently instead of shooting. The rest of the time, it's run in, hit the guy once, run away screaming in pain, heal up and do it again.

Dragons can be counted on to fly around a lot. Always time to heal. I don't find them that difficult.
