Dragon Priest Concern

Post » Tue Dec 06, 2011 10:36 am

I lucked out when i fought him, I have a Redguard warrior with specializing in Swoard and Board, but i have a few perks in destruction and Archery. I kept burning through potions and attacking him, but when i about ran out, he was down the hill and it was a weird angle and his fireballs where hitting the ground in front of me instead of hitting me, i switched to a bow and shot him full of arrow.

I randomly came across Krosis earlier today with my level 21 warrior. Initially, he kicked my ass. The second time, I made sure to use potions and eventually killed him. He was tough... far tougher than the dragon he supposedly worshipped... but who is Krosis, anyway, and what makes him and his word wall unique?

As stated above, Krosis uses a staff of fireballs, so magic damagin stuff will not work. What does work though is if you use magic/fire resistant potions and have a healing spell handy. I beat him at 28 and I play a mage. I would strongly recommending stagger locking him, if you can, if not you are going to have to use a lot of mana pots and just fight him down.

You also might be able to use paralyze poisons or a lot of scrolls. As a mage krosis was the hardest dragon priests I came across thus far.

I met him at level 11 and had to run away, I play as an archer assassin and I did next to no damage to him, I'm playing on adept.

When I first found him I had to fight both him and the damn dragon as I got to close to his tomb when I was trying to use the dragon wall as cover and he came storming out like someone had pooed in his coffee..... he was pissed, I was shown who was boss...... that will change though. I am now level 17 and have not yet been back :cold:

I gave up on my mage and became an Archer. I fought Krosis on expert and I must have been lucky because he didn't summon anything. He just shot big fireballs, so I got on top of a rock and because of the angle, his fireballs hit the side of the rock and they weren't big enough to reach me. I just shot him with arrows for a few minutes and he died.


I just don't get why people think it's fun to exploit game mechanics...
Archers seem to do this very well, then come to the forums saying game is too easy lol

The priests are terribly unbalanced, i too met him on my pimped out sneak archer. I had to take cover all the time or get a volley of fireballs in my face.

I think it ruins game immersion and fun, you had a epic battle with a dragon and you go off to collect your new power word or loot, next thing you know your running for the hills as a you have some dude relentlessly spewing fireballs in your face.


Until such time as players pimp out their gear with large %'s of fire,frost, magic etc resist some encounters are ridiculously unbalanced. It doesn't make the game any more better, that [censored] is just broke.

I play on master setting and with my shield + 1 hand character (2nd character that i'm now playing) i run up to any creature and take em down, giants, trolls, cave bears... not a second thought im in there on that SH!T. But knowing that i don't have ridiculously OP resists, i am not even going to touch the dragon priests and for me that it just spells out poor game design.

It was that or drink a resist fire potion and stand there taking his attacks while I shoot him with a bow.

Many dungeons in Skyrim have a level range. Not all things in the game are doable at low levels. You've found higher level content. My suggestion is leave and return later.


did him at lvl 7 , was easy then (master dificulty) when got to 25 understood i wont be going anywhere with mage and left him (playing an assasin , so i just oneshooted him at 40 dual daggers 60X dmg) each

I beet him in low to mid 20's pain in the ass. I just kept running up to him and hitting him with my sword until he stopped moving. I also had healing potions on an IV.

Now that I know more about the game, I would recommend getting the Disarm Shout to take care of that staff of his, it should dramatically increase survivablity and allow you to take your time fighting him. After your shout recharges hit him with Marked for Death, that will make him a lot easier to kill them throw everything you have at him.

Met him at level 16 turned into 17 during the fight, had to run away and restore health all the time, but in the end I shouted him to death. :flamethrower:

Dragon Priests are set at level 50, so mostly will be hard going for lower level players. Take a friend, lots of potions and healing spells and stay the hell out his way :biggrin:

I've done Krosis on two characters, both around mid to high teens. He's easy with archery because he can get stuck in a spot so that all of his fireballs miss. That would make me feel kind of guilty so I used a sword a bit as well. Generally I could use Unrelenting Force, hit him a bit, and then run for cover to heal. One of my characters used destruction... and that did not work on him at all.

I knocked him off the edge of the cliff onto a little ledge, he couldn't hit me with his [censored] fireball-spam and I just kept shooting arrows at him :D
