Just wondering what everyone's hardest enemy has been so far. Personally, the draugr deathlords give me the most trouble, especially the archer ones-they always one hit kill me with their bow, and i'm level 23 at the moment with full on dwemer armour. Their disarm shouts are always uncalled for, they appear from no where, have tonnes of health and take ages to kill (even with my dual wield fire enchanted ebony swords and elven battleaxe), and are fast and unpredictable. I have had trouble with various bosses as well such as the dragon priest, Havoraak, in the 'Evil in waiting' quest and the Kvenel The Tongue guy (or whatever he's called), but I've managed to beat these guys simply by using strategies that exploit the AI's stupidity. So yeah, just wondering how everyone else is finding some of the enemies.[/font]

and lock topic please.
Enough duplicate topice as it is.

The Thalmor deathsquad... mostly cause I wasn't expecting them and I have no resistance to magik...

Also a draughr deathlord and wisp mother at under level 8 was not a good idea (though I won.... eventually... big meanie made me go looking for my bow for 5 minutes after shouting at me)

A Dwemer Centurion. Had to use Battlefury to even stand a chance.

So far my hardest fight was with a Master Necromancer. I'm convinced he had all the Frost perks, the damage ones and the Freezing one. Because he shot ice storm after ice storm at me and after 2 I was dead, and one slowed me down to a crawl. And he kept raising the bodies of his apprentices I just killed. Gah...

The Draugr Death Lords. Ugh.

An Elder Dragon. I have been having absolutely no problems with Dragons so far, even Elder Dragons, but this particular one was incredibly tough. It refused to land (and I didn't have Dragonrend yet) so I had to tank his Fire Breaths and slowly take him down with spells and arrows. When he finally landed though, I made short work of him.

From mudcrabs to draugr lords, the almighty giants, ancient and elder dragons... none had been able to withstand my magic. Only one NPC managed to ever kill me. THE NAKED CHALLENGER.

An Ancient Dragon.Dam those guys are tught.They kill you with 2 breaths....

Is he some sort of master mage?

He is a Dragon Priest at the end of the College of Winterhold questline. Very powerful, OHKO AoE lightning, steals summoned Atronachs, large health pool, unlimited magicka pool.

Draughr deathlords at lvl 15 and dragon priests are probably the hardest.

Radghot for me. one of those dragonlords that drop a mask like Krosis. His mask wasn't nearly as useful as Krosis' tho. Nasty staff tho.

Either my fight against Rahgot (dragon priest) where I had to fight him as well as about 5 draugr deathlords or a fight against a dragon priest (nahkriin), an elder dragon and a frost dragon.

Morokei as a pure mage. [censored] kept stealing all my magicka in one hit and then taking nearly all my life the next.

Arch necromancers.
always spamming that blizzard spell or whatever it is they do....

Morokei was the easiest "boss" I've faced yet. I snuck into his chamber, found a spot to hide behind some rocks, and took him out with about 6 arrows. He never even found me....never could attack me.

I found the Draugr deathlord or whatever he was called, sitting on the throne near the shout word wall, to be much tougher. Of course, Morokei never even found me when I took him on. I'd shoot him with an arrow, let him search, then as soon as the "eye" closed and he couldn't find me, I'd shoot him again. Got the 3x bonus every shot.

I got into a fight with a Dragon Priest, the one with the fake solder outside. He was one hit killing me with fireballs. I spent a good 10-15 minutes running round the dungeon in circles room to room, with him in constant pursuit, using hit and run tactics with my bow. I started using followers after that.

The special draugr boss on the "fetch Ulfric's crown which he'll NEVER wear!" quest was hard.
Morokei was brutal too.
Frost Trolls are "impossible" if you're less than level 20 or so.

The ice troll on the way up to the Greybeards, Hothgrath or whatever. That troll made me lower the difficulty from expert to adept for the first time in 25 hours of gameplay. The funny thing is, I started trying everything after I couldnt kill him even on adept, So i Fire breath him and he flees in fear (and on fire) for over a minute, all the while with me running behind him slashing away... Easy kill... I reloaded and killed him on Expert just to feel better... lol.

Ice trolls hard? really? they move so slow and stop to taunt from time to time. Its easy to kill them at a very low level. Just find a good spot where it cant reach you and spray it with arrows and fire spells.

Krosis.

Tsun, it was broad daylight when I attacked him on my stealth character. He runs fast (couldn't kite properly with archery) and he hits hard (two power attacks and I'd be dead).

Generally all high-level enemies can one or two shot me if they get the change, but it tend to be only ranged enemies that get me. A Deathlord Draugr archer that I didn't spot, dead with one arrow! An enemy (frost) mage that gets the drop on me, dead in seconds! Elder and Frost dragon breaths also hurt like hell and I die quickly if the cover I'm taking doesn't protect me for some reason. Regular and Blood dragons don't hurt as much anymore.
