Skills and Abilities[edit]

Heinous Highkick
A melee heavy attack where the boss will kick whoever holds agro. If taunted this should just be the tank. He shares this ability with Eliam Merick.
Opalescent Impale
The boss will teleport to one of the four corners of the room and target a random player (indicated by a red target under their feet) with a channelled attack, if he is not interrupted he will kill that player with a opal sword though them.
Blade Projection
He will slam his sword into the ground and each player will gain a kite as blades will follow them around the room. These blades will likely kill a non-tank in hard mode.

Dialogue[edit]

The Artifact Bearers[edit]

Before the fight:

Prior Thierric Sarazen: "Does the heathen priest believe he can stand in the way of our divine purpose?"
Liramindrel: "The powers of Oblivion aren't to be worshiped, they are to be commanded!"
Ihudir: "Two shares of the spoils for me, me."
Eliam Merick: "I got this! There won't be much left after I stomp them into paste."
<Eliam Merick jumps down.>

When Liramindrel is down:

Prior Thierric Sarazen: "Lira, you are failing to shine bright enough. Rise and prove that you deserve that power!"

When Ihundir is down:

Prior Thierric Sarazen: "The two of you are amounting to so little, Ihudir. Pull yourself together and fight!"

Unknown trigger for line:

"You subjugate the very powers of Oblivion, they cannot defeat you."

When the Artifact Bearers are defeated, Prior Thierric will be annoyed and disappointed:

Prior Thierric Sarazen: "I misjudged you three. These artifacts deserve more worthy bearers."
Prior Thierric Sarazen: "I was mistaken to share this power. To dilute it. Soon I will wield it all!"

Group wipe during this fight:

"You have mastered your artifacts well, bearers."
"Be prepared for such attacks, bearers, as more take notice of our power."
"Well fought, my knights, you wield Oblivion's power skilfully."

Red Petal Bastion Vaults[edit]

Once you arrive at the deepest part of the vaults, Prior Thierric Sarazen will be waiting for you:

Lyranth: "I feel a surge in the Daedric power. It's gathering."
Lyranth: "It's coming from behind that door!"

<The door breaks down and Prior Thierric Sarazen walks out.>

Prior Thierric Sarazen: "I have conquered countless of the Princes' chosen and reaped the spoils! Now you will learn what it means to master Oblivion!"
Lyranth: "That looks like a you problem. I'll support you from the high ground."
<Lyranth teleports to the walls above.>


Beginning combat:

"The powers of Oblivion will soon take your life, prey it is the Divines that take your soul."
"Die with honor."
"I have mastered Oblivion, now I will master you!"
"I wield powers beyond your reckoning."

When summoning Realmshapers:

"Knights! Flanking manoeuvres!"
"Defend the honor of the Silver Rose!"
"Rally to me, Silver Rose!"
"Defend the bastion with your lives!"
"Silver Rose! Press the attack!"

Casting Opalescent Impale:

"Show your back and die!"
"This light will strike true."
"Now, I run you though."
"I can cut though space, time and you."
"Observe, the master's stroke."
"You've earned a merciful death."

Casting Blade Projection:

"Oblivion awaits!"
"Nowhere is beyond the reach of my blade!"
"I can pierce your very soul."
"Get back here!"
"Run! Run and pray!"
"You won't even feel this."

At approximately 75% health he will run into the middle and charge while saying:

"It will take far more than that to wrench this power from my grasp."

At approximately 40% health he will say:

"Tenacious fools! I will cast your broken bodies from the battlements if it's the last thing I do!"

Upon defeat, his spirit will hover above his body:

Prior Thierric Sarazen: "No! Where are you taking me? Divines, please—no …!"
<His spirit is dragged away.>
Weylin: "May Azura shed a tear for this tragic end to a once-noble order."
Lyranth: "Hah. Oh, no, it's nothing."
<Weylin prays.>
Weylin: "Mother of the Rose, we return these wilted petals to you. There. Red Petal Bastion is finally cleansed."

Group wipe:

"What hope did you have against the conquerors of Oblivion?"
"You culled our ranks, but the Silver Rose is stronger for it."
"You were barely a test of my strength."
"Witness me, bearers! This is the power you all may soon wield!"
