Welcome to Mojo Plays, and today we're revealing our picks for The Elder Scrolls' strongest
00:10
enemies and bosses.
00:15
Before we get started, we post new videos all week long, so be sure to subscribe to

Mojo Plays and ring that bell to be notified about our latest videos.
00:24
Ebony Warrior, The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim
00:31
After getting to level 80, you'll be greeted by the Ebony Warrior.
00:34
They're a formidable opponent, dressed in intimidating ebony armor, hoping the Dragonborn
00:39
can send them to Sovngarde.
00:40
His armor is heavily enchanted, giving him regeneration and a bunch of resistance.
00:45
He has a whopping 2000 health, multiple immunities, and knows two shouts.
00:50
It is possible to kill him easily.
00:52
For example, Mehrunes Razor has a 2% chance to instantly kill anyone, which applies to
00:57
the Ebony Warrior.
00:58
Alternatively, you can use Unrelenting Force to fling him off of a cliff, but beating him
01:03
honorably is maybe the most satisfying fight in Skyrim.
01:07
Vivec, The Elder Scrolls III Morrowind
01:13
The warrior poet Vivec is one of the four main gods you'll meet in Morrowind, who spends
01:18
his time sitting in Vivec not doing anything useful.
01:22
He has 3000 health and 10,000 magicka, which is impressive for a god, but not quite unbeatable.
01:28
Given how abusable the mechanics of Morrowind are, it's quite easy to beat him once you
01:32
become the Nerevarine, finally getting revenge for his betrayal thousands of years ago.
01:37
Interestingly, you can finish the game after killing him, despite the warning flashes
01:41
on the screen.
01:42
The ancient dwarf Ygrom Begarn is the only character required for completion, so feel
01:47
free to destroy Vivec and take your vengeance.
01:51
Giant Slaughterfish, The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion
01:58
Slaughterfish are potentially the most annoying opponents in the series, second to only cliff
02:02
racers.
02:03
Well, fascinatingly, it turns out the Giant Slaughterfish is one of the hardest enemies
02:08
in Oblivion.
02:09
Its health is 20 times your current level, meaning at level 50 it will have an insane
02:13
1000 HP.
02:15
It can be found during the Arrow of Extraction quest, part of the Thieves Guild questline.
02:19
An extra level of difficulty comes from fighting underwater, where it's possible to drown
02:24
and you'll have barely any visibility.
02:26
It just highlights Oblivion's ridiculousness, with Morrowind's hardest enemies being literal
02:31
gods, but Oblivion's being a big fish.
02:36
Ancient Lich, The Elder Scrolls II Daggerfall
02:39
Daggerfall is one of the most difficult games in the series, primarily because of its age.
02:43
The first dungeon is notoriously difficult, but things get somewhat easier after completing
02:48
it.
02:49
You'll quit before this point, making Daggerfall, and similarly Arena, the least accessible
02:54
in the franchise.
02:55
If you're hardcore enough to power through it, you'll probably come across an Ancient
02:59
Lich.
03:00
These are incredibly dangerous and have a plethora of extreme spells they'll throw
03:03
at you.
03:04
Ranged attacks are essential, and bring plenty of potions.
03:07
On the bright side, their spells are so powerful they'll regularly blow themselves up.
03:12
If you're not lucky enough for this, then you're in for one hell of a fight.
03:16
Almalexia, The Elder Scrolls III Tribunal
03:22
After finding Sotha Sil's corpse, the Nerevarine will have to battle Almalexia, the third killable
03:27
god in the game.
03:29
She has 3,000 health, and is completely insane once the player meets her.
03:33
This is a stark contrast to how she's presented in the lore, where she's used to being caring
03:37
and compassionate.
03:38
Almalexia is indeed tough, but she doesn't feel much worse than most enemies in the game's
03:44
expansions.
03:45
This is a testament to how difficult the expansions themselves are, requiring you to thoroughly
03:49
explore the base game before starting them.
03:59
Gatekeeper, The Elder Scrolls IV Shivering Isles
04:05
Shivering Isles provided Oblivion with some of its greatest content.
04:09
Sheogorath's realm is home to many oddities, but the Gatekeeper is easily the most powerful.
04:14
He's a behemoth tasked with guarding the realm, with his body being created out of
04:18
his victims.
04:19
There are two variations of the Gatekeeper, with the second being ridiculously overpowered.
04:24
His power comes from his enormous health pool, which peaks at 1,800.
04:28
Also it's constantly regenerating, and his physical and magical attacks are both overwhelming,
04:33
with enormous range.
04:35
The first variation can be killed during a quest, but you need special bone arrows to
04:39
defeat him.
04:40
Without these, it's nigh on impossible.
04:46
Ancient Vampires, The Elder Scrolls II Daggerfall
04:50
While not as powerful as the Ancient Lich, the Ancient Vampires are harder.
04:55
They appear more frequently, and can detect you even when you're invisible.
04:58
The primary reason they're more challenging is because they don't blow themselves up,
05:02
lacking any ranged spells.
05:04
You would assume ranged weapons would be the way to go, however they're phenomenally fast,
05:09
being able to close the distance between reloads.
05:12
Spell reflection is the way to go, or you can use the Etiquette skill, convincing them
05:16
to chill out and stop trying to kill you.
05:18
It's a real shame they took out this feature, since it's pretty hilarious using charisma
05:22
to befriend enemies.
05:24
Jaegar Tharn, The Elder Scrolls Arena
05:30
Arena is generally considered tougher than Daggerfall, making it the hardest in the series.
05:35
The combat is less refined, making it more punishing, and the enemy scaling isn't optimal.
05:40
If you make it out of its hellish starting dungeon and then complete the game, Jaegar
05:44
Tharn will be your final opponent.
05:46
He's the Imperial Battlemage of Uriel Septim VII, famously portrayed by Patrick Stewart
05:51
in Oblivion.
05:52
The Staff of Chaos is his weapon of choice, which he used to banish Uriel Septim briefly
05:57
into the Oblivion realm.
05:58
Your best chance of beating him is using spell reflection and chucking his own medicine right
06:03
back at him.
06:04
If you manage to win, then you're rewarded with massive bragging rights for finishing
06:08
Arena.
06:09
Gaeanor, The Elder Scrolls III Tribunal
06:17
It's kinda ridiculous that Gaeanor, a Bosmere pauper, is arguably the strongest enemy in
06:22
Morrowind.
06:23
But it's also exactly what we'd expect from Bethesda.
06:26
Gaeanor is capable of killing Almalexia, a level 100 foe who's also a god.
06:31
He lingers outside Mournhold Temple and will ask you for a few Septims.
06:35
He'll keep asking for more, even asking for a million Septims, which you can give
06:40
him, but it'll still make him mad no matter what you do.
06:43
The next time you bump into him, he'll be wearing a complete set of ebony armor and
06:48
weapons.
06:49
Even the highest level characters can perish in a couple of hits from him, causing many
06:52
to consider the most powerful of skills, alchemy.
06:57
Karstog, The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Dragonborn
07:01
Skyrim's Dragonborn expansion added the formidable opponent Karstog, who can be considered
07:09
the toughest in the entire series.
07:11
His stats are absurdly high, with 4000 health, insane damage output, health regenerations,
07:17
and complete immunity to frost.
07:19
Maybe the easiest way to beat him is to snipe him from a distance with either spells or
07:23
arrows.
07:24
It's not that fun to take him out this way, but taking him out other ways isn't
07:28
fun either.
07:29
With such strength, he's an absolute grind to win, and it isn't even that rewarding.
07:33
All you get for beating him is the ability to summon his ghost to fight for you for only
07:37
two minutes, which can only be activated three times total.
07:42
Which Elder Scrolls enemy did you struggle the most to overcome?
