Skills and Abilities[edit]

When the battle begins, his health increases, he summons a Mimic and he teleports behind one of the sealed gates. You do not need to kill the Mimic, and it will stay in the central chamber for the whole fight. For the most part, you can ignore the Mimic and focus on Xobutar. The Mimic will serve you well in allowing you to build up Ultimate so you can drop everything on Xobutar when you get the chance. Ten seconds after the battle starts, the Wounding Portal at the western end of the room activates. Synergize with it to be brought to Xobutar.

Daedric Chains
The boss pulls you towards them with a blue chain made of magic, dealing magic damage. When you reach the boss, you will be stunned, and need to break free before the boss uses Force Pulse.
Force Pulse
The boss channels an AoE of blue necromantic energy. When it peaks, it explodes, dealing moderate magic damage.
Entropic Bolt
Fires a blue skull at the target, dealing low magic damage.
Necrotic Swarm
The boss holds his staff up, causing blue necromantic energy to flow forth from the top of it, dealing moderate magic damage. Daedric Shards occurs at this time.
Daedric Resonance
The moderate damage over time that occurs after a mote of necromantic energy hits you.
Daedric Shards
Lich crystals rise from the ground, exploding after one second. If you're caught in the AoE, you'll be hit by a blast of moderate magic damage.

Drop your Ultimates and AoEs on Xobutar when you enter his chamber. The first thing he usually does is he either hits you with his staff or immediately pulls you in with Daedric Chains to use Force Pulse. After he uses Force Pulse, he starts using Necrotic Swarm, which causes Daedric Shards to occur. At 55% health, Xobutar has a chance to summon two Vampiric Totems on the left and right sides of the room. If they remain standing by the time Xobutar is 80% through with Necrotic Swarm, they will disappear; each totem you didn't get rid of will restore 10% of Xobutar's health. He can restore up to 20% of his health if those totems are left standing. Furthermore, if you stand in their AoE, your own health will be sapped. You should focus on the totems whenever they come up.

When you bring Xobutar down, a Warrior's Chest appears with your reward inside.

Defeating Xobutar grants you Empowered Teleportation. The Empowered Sigil traps a Xivkyn soul under the influence of the player for a short duration: a Bound Chillfiend will assist you while you're trying to kill the Watchers upstairs during the fight against Iozuzzunth. If you disconnect and have to redo the wounding portals up from Zakuryn's arena again, the Bound Chillfiend will also help you fend off Daedra while you run through those.

Dialogue[edit]

When you approach, he says:

"Ah, look. An insect crawls into my lair."

Idling before combat (he says these lines even if you're lying dead on the floor in front of him; he knows you're not permanently dead):

"Your indecision demeans us both."
"My time is not yours to waste!"
"Come now, let us dance!"

Entering combat:

"Shall we begin, then?"
"It has pride after all!"
"Aha! Battle is joined!"

Summoning another Mimic after one has been destroyed:

"Do you trust your eyes?"

Using Daedric Chains:

"Let us grow closer together."

Using Necrotic Swarm:

"Feel the souls of the vanquished!"

Summoning Vampiric Totems:

"I shall drink your vigor!"

Wounding Portal time expires:

"We shall meet again soon!"

If you die, he scoffs.

"Inevitable, really. I have never lost."
"Pick yourself up, now! Let us dance once more!"
"Your easy death shames us both."
