Hi,

I recently started exploring Solstheim and last night I encountered my toughest enemy yet : the Lurker Vindicator. Not only this monster does huge damage but also takes little damage from my 1 handed attacks with The Pale Blade (fully upgraded).

I had to run away from it in order to survive.

I love challenge and I will find a way to destroy these abominations.

I keep one as a pet.

Good boy!

They've got a nasty regen, but they also suffer from the problem giants have, most (not all) of their attacks are slow and telegraphed quite well, meaning you can usually avoid taking any and all damage. The one exception might be their rushing attack which has the range and speed to connect most of the time.

They are exceptionally vulnerable to Paralysis though. A couple poisons, a staff or the spell/enchantment works well.

Try facing two...on Legendary during the MQ.

Yeah I think I almost cried the very first time I encountered one.

Easy, just use bend will on one and then they will kill each other for you.
