The three hardest enemy in the game? : V - Skyrim

» Wed Jun 06, 2012 10:09 am

Snowy Saber Cats - up North where the blizzards rage you can't see they coming until it's too late. Briarhearts - was decapitated before I could raise my bow. Draugr Deathlord - there's one location outside where there's a swinging log trap, bypass that and DD pops out of his coffin, detects sneak instantly and clobbers you with his ebony axe. ( Arcwind Point?)

I bested the Draugr Deathlord there at pretty low level: 10 or 11 and using only the base flame spell. I took me almost 20 minutes of circling backward occasionally dodging its unrelenting force shout (which is level 3). This Draugr Lord is one of the few not leveled, meaning it can be found even at the beginning of the game. One hit is enough to kill one low level character instantly or have block and/or armor skill raised by one point/one hit!

I saw a video that had all possible enemies together in a Free-For-All and was in 5 matches. The Dragon Priest won 3/5 of those and the Ancient Dragon won 2/5 of those.

So...
1: Dragon Priest
2: Ancient Dragon

As for #3. I don't know.

Not true, I have gone there early and faced a Draugr Wight Lord. I'm not sure why.

Any enemy just when they get upgraded weapons (deathlords when they get ebony weapons etc).

Certain dualwielding forsword briarhearts (still deadly to my lvl 72 who has every resistance capped

).

Gravity.

There was a vampire master with some helper vampires and wolves at the end of a dungeon that I just could not defeat. I can't remember where the dungeon was anymore, as I did that back in November.

Sounds like Bloodlet Throne.

i dont think anyone mentioned this, but i would like to add on:
If you are console or PC(No console command used), then any NPC with 'essential' = the hardest enemy ingame.
They just wont die ><
Die Maven Die!!!

That's not a Deathlord. The Draugr Boss at Arcwind is a Draugr Death Overlord, which are among the strongest enemies in game. He is a melee type, not an archer with makes him easy, but there's no room for error.

Note: All judgements rendered on Master Difficulty

1. Chaurus Reaper Queen (Frostfloe Lighthouse)
2. Arch Pyromancer (I've never actually encountered an Electromancer, even though I have well over 500 total hours played in all playthroughs)
3. Draugr Death Overlord (Archer)

Enemies I wish were Harder, and don't do themselves justice.

1. Dwarven Centurion Master. (Seriously, give it like 800 AR, and a "Steam Aura" like the cloak spells. These enemies really deserved to be tougher)
2. Dragons (Too easy to predict, they need a faster, but weaker attack to counter ward 'n' dodge)
3. Dragon Priest (AI is hit-and-miss, sometimes they are pretty mean, other times they just float all stupid-like, if they could be consistently smart, they'd be a nightmare)

Also BriarHearts, i mean they are ******* Mental and what makes less sense is that they are just some ******* hobo with a enchanted weapon

Their hearts resemble a certain vegetable..(or is that a fruit..)

Frost mages.

I'm a damn Dunmer Harbinger of Doom that swaths through everything and eats Dragonscales for breakfast, but a small Redguard casting bolts of ice is my worst nightmare.

To me there is only one choice and that's Forsworn Briarhearts with Draugr Deathlords a close 2nd (Especially if they disarm shout).

Disarm goes away when you reach level 30. I kinda miss it. Draugr Deathlords are too easy now... Although I still get hit with full Fus Ro Dah occasionally. It's kinda scary when that happens.

Artichokes, possible Easter Egg?
1. Electromancers for any character, but these are worse for a Mage.
2. Overpowered Archers.
3. Krev the Skinner <--- Always starts a kill-cam if I do not engage him/her in combat first, and the kill-cam is always my character being held up in the air with a weapon sticking out of thier belly :stare:

Funny thing, my Thief who is an archer walked right through her. My warrior.... 5 times before I finally Killed her.

I've fought Dragon Priests that were pretty dang smart and almost killed me. Actually, I manage to get this Dragon Priest to kill the Ancient Dragon nearby in this one ruin site... So yeah, they are pretty dang good but are not always as good... Making them so will easily make the game much harder.

They still have Disarm but you just are too high level. Disarm only works on enemies level 30 or below.. I've seen these Draugrs use Disarm on bandits a lot. Bandits are so stupid.. Don't punch him, pick up your weapon!
