SpellAndShield Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Dragons really aren't tough, you just need patience but Vholkinar seem to be able to be defeated only by rag dolling them, either with shield bash or as a werewolf, I guess if you have 100 restoration you could cast bane of the undead but I am not there yet, so what is your strategy? I just keep up shield bashing them onto the ground so they can't cast frost spells and life drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky999 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I just avoid them, they are probably the hardest enemy in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginnyfizz Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 The Nightingale Bow and Daedric arrows work wonders if you get them with a sneak hit to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchan05 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I may also have to do with the fact that you are able to fight dragons in an open field, with a lot of distractions for them, unlike going up against vampires, you're the only target (unless you have a companion), and the area is fairly small, making it more difficult to kite.

Elendre Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) I agree that they are about the toughest enemy in the game. I've come up against them (or rather, they seem to find me when I am exploring at night- I swear they have a mile-wide aggro field!) several times. I almost always use a fireball staff when I first see them at distance, then a fire-enchanted 1-handed ebony sword or axe, using health potions as needed. I have Dawnbreaker now so would likely use her for next time. When I killed Movarth, I was able to sneak up onto a ledge overlooking the room he was in and took out his cronies first w/my flaming arrows, chugging a few invis potions, and then switched to either a flame-wall staff or fireball staff before he closed in on me. But fire-based weapons and health potions are what have worked for me - this is where my alchemy skill comes in handy :thumbsup: Those fights with Vholkinar masters are ALWAYS exciting! edited to correct spelling on Movarth's name Edited January 22, 2012 by Elendre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesapien Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Their drain spell requires magic, right? If so, I kind of think shock would work better than fire, at first, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, as I always forget shock drains magicka. BUT against Master Vholkinar vampires I wonder if it would be a significant enuf magicka drain as they likely would have tons of magicka. I'll try it next time one crosses my path! :devil: Thanks for the reminder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InuyashaFE Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Their drain spell requires magic, right? If so, I kind of think shock would work better than fire, at first, right? In my experience, lightning is crap for draining magicka, they start off with too much, it seems. I usually end up killing them before they run low on magicka.

SpellAndShield Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Luckily with my shield warrior I can spam shield bash over and over every time they try to get up so they can't heal by draining me, but if there are too many it's a problem. Funnily enough one tracked me down when fighting a dragon, went toe to with the dragon killed it and went after me but I shield bashed her over the ledge on what must have been a 1,000 foot drop; she didn't survive, lol.
