cumbrianlad Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Just a little fun discovery that I should share... ...after all, we all hate the Thalmor, right? Anyhow, following Ancano (arrogant, conceited, stuck-up son of... aaregh! I hate him!) up the stairs towards the meeting with Savos and the Psijic monk, as usual I detested following the arrogant, self-centred, f*!%$^, blah, blah... ...In the first stairway I hit him with dual-cast lightning bolt (impact perk applied...nice). He didn't go down, so I hit him again... eh, voila! One thalmor idiot on his knees! It was fun. I continued to do this all the way up the stairs. I let him get from staggering to getting upright and then hit him again. By the time we got to the top I'd gone from 39 to 41 in destruction... sweet. One step, zap, two steps, zap-stagger, three steps zap, down, etc. At this point, he won't attack you. Word of warning: I got too enthusiastic with my Thalmor-beating, first time around: It was so good that I continued to whack the b****r even after he'd got to the arch-mage's quarters... bad mistake. At this point he becomes an enemy and is still classed as 'essential', so I got in an endless un-winnable fight. The moral ? There is none, really, just be sure to abuse the guy before you get to the top of the stairs. Even after Ancano's got there you can still keep zapping him and upping your destruction skill (probably works with archery, too). Just don't leave the stairwell (there's probably a set-stage trigger there). * I'm never really going to recover from my hatred of the Thalmor.

There is his " Messenger " that finds you with the Staff ... and I paralyze him and hit him with small, but very painful attacks .... He's paralyzed and he can do NOTHING .... Moohahahaha .... Then, before I kill Accano, I let him know what I did to his " messenger ". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sl1mBob Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) When I fought him in game, I casted soul trapped his ass. Send his ass to the Soul Carin, both him and his messenger. I got both of them in black soul gems in display in the Arch-mage quarters as an example of any aldmeri dominion mark asses that want to f*#@ with the college.
