Forelhost is up there.

Took me a long time, and a lot of strategic use of potions, shouts, traps, and obstacles.

Agreed and half the mobs drain stamina + damage.. although their alchemy lab was very nice great ingredients. Also the Ebony Sheild I got was totally worth it.. although since im level 10 on the char who has it seems a little odd

Can't remember the name. It's a cave in the Reach where bandits are living, but a horde of Falmer invaded. In the front room, there's like 6-7 high-tier Falmer (Gloomlurker, Nightstalker, etc.) vs. a single bandit. It's the highest concentration of Falmer I've ever seen in one room - nay, the highest concentration of any enemy except low-level draugr. That fight is unbelievably frustrating. The only notable loot from the dungeon is a warhammer that swings faster than normal.

Varies for each character mostly. My latest character I haven't bothered to get Spellbreaker, Atronach Stone, or any sort of magic resistance, so he gets GraqeD by magic. However, my wizard character laughs at magic users, but archers can be trouble (usually can lock them down too, but if one gets a sneaky shot off, it can HURT).

Yeah I know where you're talking about. Evil, since the Falmers have a pretty rounded mix of enemy types (melee, archers, magic). If you just keep the high ground, stick behind a pillar, and Fos Ro Dah them when they rush up the stairs, you can manage.

Just viewed that on the map. I didn't even know we could go that for southeast.

Dungeon in Labyrinthian, because there was a Draugr Deathlord there that oneshot me with his bow, every single time. It was a nightmare taking him out, but I made it, and got an ebony bow, which was a massive upgrade over my orcish bow. The level scaling in this game is a bit wonky.

Hard to kill, but unlikely to you kill. Spends all his time draining magic instead of attacking. You can only die if his atronachs kill you basically.

I just got through the Dwarven dungeon that Periyite sent me to. That place was a mother, and the elf wizard I was there to kill took absolutely ZERO damage from my magic.

Not really a dungeon, but I found the fight at Arcwind Point difficult.

He killed me a couple times. Stupid fireball staff. He also killed Lydia. :'( On Expert I think.

Putting together that amulet of three parts. Master-level with very few potions took forever to complete. I got some serious doll fall experience from that one. Oh, and learned that you can kill a companion with a mis-fired shout.

I thought Volunne was pretty rough, probably because I wasn't nearly high enough to be in that place. Deathlord in one of the side chambers would kill me with his shout! Now, that's what I want my shouts to do!

Also, a place near the reach, where you get a quest in there to get 3 potions (don't want to spoil it); boss at the end was tough as nails. Would one shot me with nearly any of its spells, and poor Lydia, she would only cower behind a pillar. Can't say, though, that I blame her.

Cragswallow or something like that. It seemed to be designed normally enough, but either cause two of my quests landed on there, or some other AI weirdness, all 17 odd conjurer enemies were in one room to attack me at once.

Probably Labyrinthian, otherwise. Granted, my mage was an illusion specialist, so he was really out of his comfort zone for it.

Spoiler

Though for Morokei, I actually managed to drain his magic away with the Gauldur staff, then got him good with J'zargos special anti-undead Flame cloak scrolls)

Tovald's Cave.

» Sun Jun 03, 2012 6:44 pm

Yeah Tovald's Cave was an exceptionally annoying one to go into with falmer packed on every ledge. There was one which I can't remember but it had about 5 or 6 Daugr Deathlords and/or Overlords in it at the same time. I went through almost every potion and scroll I had and was running around like a headless chicken half the time.

I've always had trouble on Dwemer ruins or any place with Falmer, at least on lower levels.

» Mon Jun 04, 2012 7:06 am

High Gate Ruins.. so far. But not along the way, it's the boss fight thats insanely difficult. (died 4 times in a row..)

» Mon Jun 04, 2012 4:20 am

I had a tough time at the end of A Night to Remember. Was playing as a destruction mage, with Jenassa as backup. I was still pretty low level, and there were just too many fireballs flying all over the place (especially for a vampire character.) I ended up softening up the room a bit via invisibility potions and stealth dagger kills, but didn't have that stealth damage multiplier perk yet so there was only maybe one guy I could one hit kill.

Forelhost is hardest i've been to so far.
