[@MagicMoshroom]

Great guide, thanks a lot. Some notes in case anyone is interested: 1:08:40 - Warrior: You can make him break the statues before they turn by aiming the AoE at them 1:36:14 - Zhaj'hassa: There seems to be a bug with the pillars not working, when you don't break his shield (a tank can survive the AoE though) 1:49:55 - Tho'at: The small shards/blobs that channel are really dangerous when left alone, focus/interrupt them if you do low damage

[@ЕлизаветаБандурина-и6т]

Not really great. Mechanics demonstrared for circle 1, when u can ignore them. The Endling floor 9+ can oneshot u or teammate AFTER breath with little kite on the floor, that spawn UNDER u - little sparks. In 10+ floors u cant ignore and just block growing mechanic on Symphony. And it's just 2 bosses and 2 from u: Warrior, Tho'at. I'm sure other mechanics on other bosses are also lost, which are simply invisible on low circles. Why spend so much time describing obvious mechanics, but not describing non-obvious, but very dangerous ones on high circles. The guide turned out to be wery big, a lot of work has been done, but very useless.

[@xynodegaming]

NOTE: This will be in the written guide but, at 1:49:55 - (Tho'at Replicanum FINAL transformation!) if you are on a heavy attack build, specifically a one bar setup, your damage comes from very few different sources, so you don't apply TOO much pressure from multiple places. Meaning the shield phase is pretty easy to just weigh into and dodge the orbs. HOWEVER, if you are on a squashier, or more complex build, you will get overwhelmed fast (more damage hits/ticks/types the more orbs) so to help you there, simply STOP hitting the boss and the shield will drop. The method/tactic applied is up to you, but either works depending on the player and build :)

[@OnlyXtra]

Pretty sure you here this all the time, but you are absolutely the Top of Top when it comes to ESO guides and specially "All about Mechanics" there doesn't exist better guids than yours!!!

[@kyrasoze516]

I'm a roguelike fiend, but have been playing since March, so there are still a lot of these bosses I haven't yet seen. This video, especially having timestamps for each boss, is a fantastic resource for me. Thank you.

[@xynodegaming]

Thank you and you are most welcome!!

[@Lillymon]

You're a Godsend to the ESO community. Thank you very much for the time and effort you've taken to build this thorough guide. And thank you for showing most bosses on higher arcs rather than the easier first arc. Really appreciate it.

[@SuperDragonBlader]

The bosses come from EVERYWHERE in the game. From delves, the world, dungeons, arenas, trials, and even from the story chapters (like that dragon) that are both from the base game and DLC. If you're like me, who has played the entire game in chronological order, you'll be going through memory lane and often go like "Oh hey! I know this guy!" Have fun!

[@theliron5507]

Hi👋 All my characters are ready for the archive and thanks to the video I'm ready too. Keep up the good work and greatings from Germany.

[@xynodegaming]

OMG i just saw this, Thank you so much!!!

[@theliron5507]

Your welcome and thanks for all your work👍

[@DS94everXev]

Regarding Maurader strategy.. DO NOT KILL ALL THE ADS! You want to try to keep 1 or 2 ads (anything but fables) around. That way you never have to deal with a new swarm of incoming ads with full health and I as the tank with limited resources due to fighting the marauder. When I die as a tank here its almost never from the marauder. It's from the introduction of a bunch of ads into the field. Especially arc 3 onward. You will get 1 or 2 fabled coming in at full health while you have to fight the maurader.. That's when you die. So, don't kill all the ads first! Kill most. Then focus on marauder. Once the marauder us down you kill the remaining ads and fight like normal dealing with the next waves as you have.

[@BBRocker75]

Whole agree.

[@jrafel1707]

The amount of runs it must've taken to run across all of these bosses is insane. And the time to put it all together!! Thanks for all of your work!! I did see some that I don't see on your list and I don't see already mentioned in case you're keeping track, see them late and want to do an addendum :D . I'm pretty sure I ran across Barbas (Morrowind story), , Rada al-Saran (Story boss -The reach?? ), and Sonalia the Matriarch from Tempest Island. As well as already mentioned Ghemvas and Laatvulon. That makes it close to 70 without maurauders. I wonder if there are any that are still tucked away to be found.

[@xynodegaming]

In total since the video excluding marauders, i have counted 68! Finn said BETWEEN 60-70 so, it's close lol!

[@firemyst9064]

13:40 classic zelda type puzzle! Loving it.

[@cyberjanet]

An awesome resource! Thanks!

[@xynodegaming]

THANK YOU!!!

[@jowoll]

This is phenomenal! I keep dying since I don't know all the mechs of the bosses and if I google it, the actual dungeon, trial or whatever mechs pop up, which is helpful but not always the full truth in here. But now here is something awesome to turn to for my next attempt! Thank you so much for putting this together.

[@gyangearon8729]

Awesome, this is exactly what I've been looking for, on mechanics of everything. Some of the bosses I've never encountered in the game, and I wasn't seeing some of the mechanics on the Tho'at.

[@xynodegaming]

Bare in mind there are several different ones to thoat that can be taken advantage of too. Like if you DON'T hit her the shield will eventually go away, or if you ONLY use channeled abilities without a direct hit at the end (jesus beam, half a lightning heavy etc) then the shield still falls off, she can still be damaged and you spawn NO orbs. That will be in the new video thought showing all of the NEW stuff for Infinite Archive! Thanks for wathcing!

[@gyangearon8729]

@@xynodegaming Ah nice good to know. I usually run away and reapply my buffs when the mirrors go up. :)

[@markjva814]

This has really pulled me through. Me and a really chunky aware tank have gotten through arc 7 more than once. Knowing the boss mechanic changes definitely helps, especially the tho'at. Will have to work on not going ham when that mirror shield comes up. 😅

[@williamwhitehead-o5g]

Thanks for this man. I know this took a really long time to put together, fix, and upload. I appreciate it and it helped me get farther in archives as a templar. I need to keep studying. Im only 50k solo atm, but im determined to be top one day. Thanks again.

[@IGlobharder]

Very helpful as a 172 Templar healer thank you just started playing

[@gilbertodepauladapaz]

You know what would be interesting, if you got the set for the respective boss location(arena, dg or trial) instead of a random zone set. But that would be expecting too much from the developers :/

[@crazywelshlady8912]

thankyou very much for the awesome guide and thankyou for taking time out to post it for us all , muchly appreciated kind Sir

[@crazywelshlady8912]

Also my old age had gotten me blinder than i think lol but I got Laatvulon this morning cant see this beast in your guide :)

[@xynodegaming]

There are a COUPLE of bosses yet to see, if you spot the ones that are MISSING, let me know what you find in the comments, they WILL all be in the written guide, and as they add more to the content, so will future bosses too ;) Written guide coming soon!

[@beibey]

I got the boss from Dread cellar. Panicked on the (usual) portal mech. Didnt see a portal and panicked. Came here too see but looks like you haven't come across it yet :(

[@xynodegaming]

@@beibey I've actually SEEN that one! I didn't get it recorded though. The portal mechanics are SO cool in comparison to the original. They did a great job with that one. 4x portals, you cannot hit the boss until all portals are down, and you take damage all the time. So be sure to keep your heals and resists up while trying to get rid of them. it's not a dps check as such but of course the longer you take the longer your survival has to be maintained.

[@azkemar7169]

I also spotted Caluurion but during Arc 2 and he had 4 totem around the arena and a mechannic that summon wide AoE (sort of dagger storm) following the player and spawning endlessly under my feet, it appear to be triggered by a mammoth totem

[@enkinanthem7933]

I just got Laatvulon, the quest boss dragon from Southern Elsweyr. Probably the easiest dragon I could get :) Oh, and thanks for this amazing guide, Xynode. Outstanding work as usual.

Thank you for this. It is super helpful. I don't do trials so I was unfamiliar with the mechanics of some bosses. Awesome video!

[@gypsyjay5789]

Hi Xynode, thanks so much for this content. I just want to give a heads-up and say that 25:53 - Limenauruus doesn't link to the right boss! On a funny side note, the next boss i got was kjarg the Taskscraper, so I knew where to find the guide!

[@ScottPhilo-qk9hi]

Voidmother Elgroalif is a World Boss from the Reach. Maebroogha the Void Lich is the final boss of Vateshran Hollows.

RIP. It's been a long few weeks haha, she is basically the same however, so people will be able to learn from it :)

[@dangerousdays2052]

This reminds me of the Shattered Realm mode from Grim Dawn.

[@SomeChristianGuy.]

I realized that when Tho'at puts up her mirrors and taunts you about how scary your dps is, stop attacking her and the orbs dont spawn. Its reflected damage, kinda like the templar skill which deals damage in a pop after absorbing dps on enemy for a bit. It can one shot you even arc 1. The small orbs I mean, not the big ones in the sky that send beams.

[@xynodegaming]

Already on the pinned comment 😉 If you have low numbers of sources (like a wall + heavy attack) you can get away with hitting her and avoiding the orbs (you will get a couple). However if you have lots of fast paced hits, stop till it goes away 😀

[@SomeChristianGuy.]

@@xynodegaming Oh heck my bad, didn't realize that. Listening to you lay down the business at work lol. By the way since we are here, thank you for the great content.

Anyone else had the graphic bug that the shards above ones head aren't shown at all? I always wondered how I get oneshot but after watching this guide I saw that the shard cloud over the ehad aren't appearch but are what causes me to lose to the boss.

What about loot? It seemed like initially I was getting zone gear i hadn’t bound but then I started getting stuff I already had mainly from murkmire or Blackwood I think. 20 mins in to the vid and haven’t come across loot info. Thanks.

has anyone had an issue on zha'hass where the pillars depawn right before the explosion leaving you with nothing to hide behind? or where the pillars spawns right at the edge so you can't get behind it?

[@Bowmanganie]

On Zha'hass the Forgotten. I always die at this boss. It ends my run almost every time unless I kill it before I have to hide behind the pillars. If I have to hide behind the pillars I always die. Dead. Done. It never blocks damage. What am I doing wrong? Does behind mean, "No you have to glory hole the pillars"?

What is a tank supposed to do?

Try to block the hit then.. looks like they changed the mechanics if i'm not mistaken

[@joannet.8464]

I keep dieng with seeking sphere, gow do i avoid that?

[@m3ducraft]

I hate the Marauder, I think they are badly balanced, I almost always get oneshoted. I have killed the fire and wind ones once each, otherwise I always lose my thethers. I also probably need to change one of the sets, right now I am running arcanist with a modified trial set up: 32 points into health 32 to stam, and have vigor instead of barbtrap. But I think coral is fuking me up, either I have good stam sustain tks to verses and visions, or is shit and I need to HA every now and then. I want to try a tankier 5 piece set since damage is so easy there tks to the verses and visions.

[@shaydonwoolstenhulme4436]

I came across a boss on live that wasnt in this list that I assume was from Deadlands (didnt get all the way through it) He seemed similar to the marauder but hit waaaaaaay harder. That dude rolled me the first time. I had 30k hp and 25k shields and he ate through all of it in less than a second lol. I probably was too close to him like the marauder.

[@rickrickard2788]

Warning on Kajag the Tuskscrapper- I never saw the ice crystal- and he just kept spamming the Ice Atronachs at me. I could dodge the wind, and kill ONE Atronach- but I had THREE on me, almost constantly, which made it impossible to get back to the Boss, who was at about 30% health left. I killed one, he spawned another. So I always had to fight 3, and when they start that damn AOE? No matter how good you are, you're not gonna survive it unless you have a power verse active. And I have some good buffs on this run- Sad they gave me the Werewolf verse in a stage, and NOT the Marauder state, of course, lol. Not sure if this is a glitch or not, but I'm only in Arc 2, 3rd Boss fight/Cycle. That's a bit too much for that low, imo.

Pls justify, can u somehow keep ur progress after logging out on the next day? Couse getting into some relatively difficult/interesting stages is pretty long.

No. There's currently unfortunately no way of keeping progress.

[@xynodegaming]

Nope. It's a fun get in get out see how long you can last. Not a main story quest you have to complete over DAYS :) During that two hour run you failed to realise that you stacked a crap ton of exp, loot, currency, achievements and more. I think you have an "I'm too good for this" balance issue, which I'm sure 99% of the community wish was their problem too :)

[@IngvarGWT]

@@xynodegaming ty for reply :) We understood that we gathered some loot and stuff, but that was not the main objective for us at this time. But yeah, exactly, i wanted to know how long we can last, but it seems getting to this point will take a lot of time, u have to be playing the whole day there :D And what about the leaderbords, i did not look, but as i understand, the top spots must be taken by ppl who sat there for 10-20 hours in a row.. I really wish the progress will be saved untill u turn in the quest, that would make sense, compared to how regular 1-person arenas work. And yes we are both "achieved end-game players" as some might say, we immediately did go as tank+dd. I think if I did go alone in regular dps-spec then yeah I could ve wiped already probably, there was 1 random-encounter mini-boss which actually did quite a bit of damage, compared to everything else we saw.
