    Yeah, that is a sick fight if you start the College quests early. It's way harder than the big boss at the end, oddly enough. This, coupled with what might be a young char's first encounter with rune traps, makes the first half of Saarthal really hard.

    My current hardest fight is to get my almost 11 year old daughter off the PS3 - difficult to do cos she just says "Go play on the PC instead"

    Te draugur deathlord in Saarthal on my lv 17 necromancer, I had powerleveled conjuration to get the dead thrall spell but my other skills were severly lacking, it didn't help that my astrid thrall was glitched and refused to wear armor.

    Well the ward spells dont affect melee attacks. And if you use your "Fus Ro Dah" you can have them switch to melee instead of magic.

    All you have to do is attack the magic orb behind of him. Did you get his amulet and staff of him also? His amulet is a quest item and the staff is one of the best that I have found.

    The toughest fight I had been on was the battle royal in The Wolf Queen Awakened. As if Draugrs were not enough, Potema sends a continuous stream of shock magic. I died a couple of times even with the aid of Mjoll and a summoned Dremora.

    Same. For that Elder's Cairn place? VERY difficult. Haven't won yet. I had NO idea he was a Dragon Priest though.

    I can't remember which dungeon it's in, but that draugur overlord that splits into like four versions of himself (three of which are illusions I guess) is a real pain. Every time I figure out which one is the real deal he shouts me across the room, and I only every get one or two swings at him at the most each time.

    I've done this several times, but the one I'm most proud of was clearing Lost Volskygg with Dreadfall. Nothing but Red Eagle's Ancient Nord Greatsword, of Burning, and a sack full of Vampire Dust. Technically 2 hard fights in a row, the worst is the Draugr Deathlord with an Ebony Bow, and Arrows.

    Basic Nightblade tactics, Sneak up muffled (I forgot, Shrouded Shoes) Backstab (With Silent Roll/GCC to Stagger) then stand up for Hack&Bash. Don't let him regain his balance, because even with his HAN Waraxe, he can hack off a chunk of health with one swing (Unarmored.) Stamina Potions, Skooma, anything to keep Bashing. If you hit him while staggered, he'll keep redoing the draw animation, which leaves an opening to Bash him again.

    Then, I had to drop down for the Prize, an Ebony Greatsword, unfortunately still in the hands of yet another DDL. I ran out of all of my Stamina recovery, so this one, I had to Charge in to Stagger, Hack&Bash until my gauge ran down, then dust, and hide to catch her breath. Rinse, repeat, took more than 20 minutes. I wound up giving the Bow/Arrows to Jenassa.

    Krosis. The bugger spammed his Staff of Fireballs like no ones business. I only lived because my follower was invincible

    Warlord Gathrik is another hard one. Not that bad if you know to Flame Rad him (Kite him over Wall of Flames) but he moves so fast, it's impossible without an unencumbered Altmer. Otherwise, I've taken him out with a Nightblade, but it was all archery, standing clear across the room on the opposite balcony with Spectral Assassin to keep him busy. The first time was just a basic Nord Warrior, 2 hand, light armor, basically all the skills that came with the race. I grabbed the Axe, and managed to take his soul, but then

    I don't care what anyone thinks. That Skeeverman during the Thieves Guild Quest? He is a pain in my ass. Doesn't help that those Venomfang Skeevers hurt. Of course if I were smart I'd have gotten the full unrelenting force shout by then. Oh well. Still. Whether he is throwing a bunch of fire balls at me(which are somewhat fun to dodge) or just going all out with his lightning he can be a real pain.

    I remember one time I was at the entrance to the room fighting off the skeevers. I backed up a bit and that guy comes running past the door and instantly kills me. It was actually kinda funny.

    Also for tough battles. Just about every battle before I get to lvl 15 or so and I love it. :)

    Yeah he was tough, but I left for awhile and came back, no skeevers and I could 1HK him with sneak because he was working at an Alchemy Lab.
